Amazing food, spectacular service, very healthy menu. I came here from Minnesota to compete in a competition in which I had to make weight for. I came to this place back to back time just because the food was healthy, filling, and low calorie options. Everything tasted real, authenticity is extremely important. These guys hit the nail on the head. I drove 40 minutes from my hotel just to come back and the traffic was well worth the food. Thank you guys for the amazing experience and service you provided, I would recommend.

I've been going to Brewed Awakening (and Village Coffee in Maplewood) for years. The food and coffee are always excellent - such a great selection. Solid locally-owned, family business. Both spots have a great atmosphere. Service is always topnotch. The people who work there are so nice, and they genuinely seem to really enjoy what they do...and it translates to the customers. Alex waited on a friend and me this morning; he's so friendly, helpful and efficient. If you haven't tried either place yet, do you yourself a favor and get there soon. If you have been, you know what I mean.
Decided to check this spot out after reading all the good reviews. Big mistake. We came on a Saturday am (busier than usual-understandable). I ordered a flat white and knew something was wrong when it came in a huge latte mug. My partner ordered a s’mores latte (less sweet). My drink was 99% milk, and hers too sweet to even drink. Their espresso is super weak, so don’t expect a good cup of coffee. The food was nothing special. The potatoes had a weird vinegar taste, and they got my partners order completely wrong. Whatever wrap she ordered from the menu came with completely different ingredients. We don’t usually complain, but this time we did and they took it off the receipt which was nice. Server never even came back after taking our food order, until we had to pay. So many other good breakfast options in the area.

Mi esposo y yo hemos ido un par de veces a este lugar y quedamos fascinados con la comida (omelette y la mexicana) 🍳tienen buen sabor y presentación. El latte ☕️de banana, hazelnut y vanilla ya sean fríos o calientes son exquisitos. Me gusta este lugar porque también te permite pasar un momento agradable para conversar.
Reconozco el trabajo de cada una de las personas que están ahí porque se nota el trabajo en equipo (amabilidad, servicio y calidad). 💯% recomendable 🤗❣️

☕ Such a cute coffee spot in Metuchen! Brewed Awakening is super close to the train station, so I stopped in for a quick coffee before heading out.
I tried their Jamaican specialty coffee, which was pretty good! Nothing too crazy, but I enjoyed it and loved that they had a bunch of different cold brew options to choose from.
The service was definitely a highlight. Everyone was so friendly, and multiple people stopped by to check in and make sure I had everything I needed, which I really appreciated.
I only came in for coffee this time, but the food menu looked good, so I’d definitely come back to actually sit down and try some of their food. A cute and convenient spot right by the Metuchen train station! ☕✨
