Brewed Awakenings CoffeeHouse South County

Cappuccino, more like Crappuccino!
Seriously learn how to steam almond milk. Also they have a difficult process to get on their wifi. Would recommend to those who want a laugh out of their coffee experience.

Amazing owners, Amazing staff, and Amazing Coffee/​Chai/​Tea. They even have a variety Allie’s donuts available for purchase. My only knock on them is that their breakfast sandwiches/​prepared food in general is only ok… It’s not bad but there is plenty of room for improvement. Overall I love this place.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Coffee is great but the vanilla Chai is my absolute favorite! Can not drive by and not stop in. On Christmas day they were obviously closed and my husband and I had the hardest time just driving by on the way to family get together. It just felt wrong to drive by but stop!

I’ve stopped into Brewed Awakenings a couple of times to grab an espresso whenever I’m at South County Commons. The drinks are good and they have some nice baked items to choose from as well. The quiet and relaxed atmosphere makes it a good option to just sit and relax or work remotely. Thumbs up for me.

Hate this chain of poorly run coffee houses that think they are special. The owners need to close for 6 months, go to a remote town in Southern Italy and then Amsterdam to relearn how to make café and how the atmosphere of a coffeehouse should really be. Wait. The owners are never there. Only college and high school kids that know how to text and serve their friends first. Save your money, your time, your sanity & make a coffee at home regardless of preparation method it will come out ten times better than this place. Sometimes the hype is just hype.

I moved to the area a few months ago and I was immediately impressed by this place. It’s a big, bustling coffee house with good food and wi-​fi. I would go there nearly every day, order a bagel and coffee, and do some writing.
Sounds good right? Well for awhile it was until it dawned on me that on a day-​to-​day basis the staff was unsmiling and often downright unfriendly. I don’t know if they don’t like their jobs, or didn’t like me. I don’t care how nice or convenient a place is, rude staff will drive me away every time. I still go in occasionally, but not nearly as much as I used to.

I’ve written a review of this place before. It’s been here a while. I’m not a fan of the coffee but then again I’m not a fan of coffee in the first place. I’ve found the brew here to be a little too bitter. Enough cream conquers that but sometimes I don’t want to have to douse a brew with fat to cut down on the bitter.
We came today for some libations and I was peckish so I ordered a Grilled Cheese on rye and asked for tomato. I also ordered an iced tea with nothing in it, large please. The tea was excellent which is saying something. It was clear and dark and acerbic like a good basic black tea should be. The sandwich was okay, not really what I expected. It looked to be toasted and not grilled, the tomatoes still cold from the refrigerator. The cheese was barely starting to melt and the rye was really a marbled rye and pumpernickel. I didn’t mind the bread but I was miffed that that was all I got, just the sandwich. Usually you’re suppose to get a pickle and chips or some other side. And for such a simple sandwich it seemed to take a long time. The sitting room was not empty but it wasn’t so busy that the sandwich should have taken that long.
Another thing I noticed was the change of the menu board. There used to be breakfast sandwiches in addition to the other things on the wall. No more. They do have a bagel with your choice of topping and some other simple items but that was all I saw.
It really pays to know someone who works here. Otherwise you don’t know if the service person is going to be polite and get you what you want or if they’ll be snotty and get you an attitude and whatever they want to throw on the plate. It’s not a big mystery why I prefer to go to one of the other coffee places in Narragansett or South Kingstown.

Best bagels, best coffee, excellent buffalo chicken wraps and great service. Harleys are something that you must try if you come here on a hot day, they really hit the spot. I like the fact that they have an amazing lounge/​café (which I used in college). My preferred coffee and bagel place and the occasional lunch stop in.

Brewed is one of the best coffee houses down here! Their flavored iced coffee has great taste and is fresh, and their breakfast sandwiches are very good as well. There is plenty of space inside to spread out, and with recent power outages I went their to charge up and found that had free (and fast) wifi as well. I would absolutely recommend going here on your way down to the beach. My only complaint is that parking isn’t the best and it was a bit hard to find after driving into the mall. Otherwise, this place absolutely deserves the five star review!

My visits to this location have always had issues. Early, I learned that the coffee quality was very poor, acrid and acidic. Then came the barrage of food issues: rotten fruit in the fruit salad; old tuna salad, stale bagels. I also have had many issues with order errors, getting cream cheese when I’ve ordered mayo or chicken salad when I’ve ordered tuna. When I used to work nearby, I didn’t have many options.

For years while driving down to the beach or URI I have stopped in for a tea, snack, breakfast or lunch here. It is about time I wrote a review, ya think! The location is prime and plenty of parking. The hours are always open, it seems! Love that.
The lines move fast if there is one & it is the majority of the time. One HUGE plus for me here is that they have almond milk. More and more places offer it now but they have for years.
The staff are friendly and efficient. Everyone can find something here! The breakfast sandwiches are fresh & hot, building your own is fun. I can’t ever decide on just one baked goody in the jars on the counter, I will have one of each please!
Plenty of seating in and out if you are staying. Tv’s with the news broadcasting without sound and everywhere you look are customer’s taking advantage of the WIFI.

The perfect place for breakfast on Sunday mornings. The sandwiches and coffee are always great.

Fantastic selection of pastries, great coffee and nice atmosphere. If the service were more consistent, it would be a 5 out of 5.

I used to come here fairly often, but these days… not as much.
They definitely have some things going for them… their coffee is good, and they always have a lot flavors available (in both hot or iced). Their breakfast sandwiches are tasty, and they always have an array of muffins, coffee cake, cookies, ect…
With the free wi-​fi, this can also be a great place to come and get a little studying done, or meet with other people for a group meeting or project (but really, don’t be that person who gets a small coffee and sits for several hours. No one likes that person). Being so close to URI and several high schools and can definitely get crowded though.
I think my issues come down to two things… their lunch sandwich quality has gone down… I feel like they always forget either the chips or the pickle that come with the sandwiches, and the sandwiches themselves just seem to be getting smaller and are… just not that great anymore. Combine that with price and I always feel like I’m paying too much for what I get.
While I still stop in, these days I tend to stick to getting just coffee, and the occasional breakfast sandwich, basic bagel, or afternoon pastry.

I’ve only been here twice and the coffee is actually pretty good. It has free wifi, the costumer service is decent, not overly friendly or mean. The café itself is actually pretty cute! Has a lot of different menu choices to choose from too!

Perfect spot for homework, reading, catching up with an old friend. Great breakfast sandwiches, nice selection of coffee, really polite staff. Not too far from me, and often my first choice if I go out for coffee! Very happy with the service here.

The Shoppe is spacious and comfortable. The staff is very polite and they take pride in cleanliness. I love the fireplace. You MUST try the almond croissant.
Good coffee. I personally don’t visit coffee shops because their coffee is to die for. Coffee is coffee for the most part but ambiance is important. This is a great spot to unwind while you wire up with caffeine. Great comfy chairs! Awesome earth tones.

Some of the reviews below made me «LOL». Who are rating these places? hahah. I agree with @Jeff K.
Came in here twice during our weekend trip out to Newport Mansions. Got 2 iced coffees and breakfast sandwiches. Devoured them. The space inside was pretty huge. in NY standards, this coffee place should be 3 stores… lol. Anyway, the chairs are very nice, service prompt, prices were fine. Reliable and happy serviced workers.
:)

Great spot to meet business colleagues for a meeting. Quiet, yet not too quiet. Good iced coffee, didn’t eat but would definitely go back to this place. WiFi, plenty of seating and an open airy feel.

I think some of you people should be ashamed of yourselves and the way you critique places. We’ve empowered idiots to post online reviews. Such comments as «the place is to big», «they blast Fox News» or «my parents didn’t establish a Rude Awakenings Trust Fund» show ignorance and are not always negatives in a review.
Fox news has local is actually good local news. The price here is not that pricy and the place being large is a good thing. If you want to meet with people, you can do it over here in this corner. If you wish to sit and watch news, you can do it over there and if you want a cozy warm fire, you can sit by the fire. It’s a large place for a GOOD reason. If you are afraid you might get lost you really need to get out more often.
As a newbie here, I found the Boss sandwich with the croissant hit the spot. I loved the coffee. Not to hot that it had to sit around and cool before I took a sip. All was good. Actually, this place was a welcomed addition to my morning.
