Welcome to our Café

Awakenings Espresso Café welcomes people of all ages to enjoy organic, fresh, mountain grown coffees and many specialty beverages. And our friendly staff realize that "It's Not Just About Coffee". It's about fresh pastries and hearty soups. It's a place to gather, to think, to talk and to share in the true coffee house spirit. It's about being an internet cafe with wireless access. It's about music, poetry, art, and workshops. Come enjoy our specialty coffees and awaken the spirit within!

Award Winning Cafe

Awakenings Wins Best of the Best 2008!

Thank you for voting us the Lakes Region #1 Gourmet Coffee Shop for 5 years running! We are so happy to be here, all made possible by you, your friends and all who hear about us. It turns out we are still a well kept secret, with people coming in every week who live in the Region, but have never heard of us. Please help our business grow by sending others our way, and please let us know what we do well, and what we can do better. Again, a truly heartfelt thank you!
