Very dissatisfying experience. Same price as Starbucks without the courtesy. If you want a good local coffee shop, I highly suggest Cumberland Coffee Roasters in Hope Mills.
I love this coffee shop so much! Me and my husband went out one night exploring our new town. We both fell in love with this little shop! Yummy coffee and friendly people!
The best Coffee in town by far and they have the friendliest Baristas!
Rhonda & Ev welcome me by name, they know my order and introduce me to new things. Unicorns and rainbows coffee made to order just for me. You have to try if visiting downtown Fayetteville.
The coffee is great and the baristas are the best. Love the brown bag lunch for under $6 bucks. Been a downtown favorite forever.
Love this place every time I Go! Friendly staff and good drinks every time. Love love love this place! The back patio is amazing also
Great spot and awesome service.
Cute little coffee shop in downtown. Friendly staff a& good lattes! :)
Small coffee shop that's a bit of a squeeze to get into. But amazing combination of flavors and service
This is a very nice place downtown. I love coffee and they have a variety to choose from. In door or out door seating. Popular place as it was steady busy
Expensive but definitely worth it
Had a hot chocolate, the owner made the Mexican spice from scratch!
LOVELY PEOPLE & PLACE!!
The owner is rude to her customers. "Rude Awakening" indeed.
Excellent lattes and food! Very friendly staff.
Chai was great!
I go here for the back seating which is a cute chic place but it's very small in the inside and their card machine was broken so the line was pretty long. The cups they give us for our coffee is cheap like the ones at hotels so I was a bit disappointed at the aesthetic I guess. But I still would return for the back seating, it's really the only thing going for them.
open super late and amazing drinks! ask the barista for a recommendation and prepare to be blown away. The back courtyard is heavenly. one of my favorite spots downtown
They make the whip cream from scratch, which is delicious on my iced caramel latte. I love the selection of cakes, cheesecakes and chocolate truffles. Check out the back courtyard!
Quaint little coffee shop downtown with wonderful desserts and cool vibe.
Great coffee spot with excellent personable service and tasty treats!
AWESOME Service n Coffee!!!
I love going there for the paradise smoothie, which I get made with almond milk.......TOTALLY DELICIOUS!!! They're sweet treats are pretty tasty as well. And they also do a $5.50 lunch bag. It's not the classiest place downtown but it is a cool little spot
This place is the BEST!! GREAT location, Coffee and staff! Albert and Carrie were just the best with us. The back private patio in the back is the best!! We will Definitely be back!!
Me and my wife love this little spot. Much better than Starbucks and its local!
Always good people manning the shop, putting out good coffee.
Being the only coffee shop on Hay, it has it's regulars and even if you're new they treat you like on of their own. Patio seating out front to enjoy the weather, and beverage.
Well it was a rude awakening alright!! We ordered 2 desserts a glass of hot milk and a regular cup of coffee... it cost us 19.87$ !??? What yes 19.87!!! To top it all off wanting to be nice I give 40$ to the cashier asking for change I see she is busy so we take our drinks and desserts told me she would be getting my change... by the time I realized I still hadn't got my change back the cashier was gone with a 20$ tip!?! Who does that!?! This is terrible and I was very disappointed the desserts weren't that good and the coffee definitely not worth what I paid for!!! I hate to have to say this about a local business but they sucked! Oh and no the desserts were not even home made!!
Cute shop! My Mexican spicy hot cocoa was bomb! Will definitely be back when I'm in the area
My niece loves their caramel macchiato
Great service great coffee. Enjoyed my time there. Would like to see a gas lamp in they're outside patio area for the winter months. It would make for a very peeling and an enjoyable atmosphere. Will enjoy coffee there again.
Amazing company great coffee
I have spent countless hours of my life enjoying the atmosphere and coffee of this bright spot in downtown Fayetteville. The Rude Awakening was one of the first locations in downtown Fayetteville that truly felt safe, inclusive and like a home away from home. Half of the friends I have today are because I met them while sipping drinks at the Rude Awakening coffee shop.
The vibe of this coffee house is very vibrant and alive. Their signature coffee's definitely reflect the passion and love they put into creating them. My favorite of all, is their Caramel Rose latte ... iced or hot. (Depending on weather) . So sad to be moving and leaving this place behind. I highly recommend Rude Awakening.
Great selection of drinks and desserts, however, the coffee and drinks aren’t the best of flavors. The desserts taste wonderful. Great atmosphere to study, relax, and chat with friends. Highly recommend!
Love to go here. Amazing place and people.
Love this place, good coffee, staff is super friendly and the back patio is my favorite place to sit down
Great service served us something amazing ,super helpful the nice woman at the front even allowed u to use there beautiful patio *****Thank you
It was alright, definitely not the best. The service was extremely slow even though there was hardly anyone there. I'm not sure if the women behind the counter were the owners or not, but they didn't seem very happy to be there and didn't make you feel welcome. Jumpin' Java takes the cake for the best coffee shop in Fayetteville! I only went to Rude Awakening because I was downtown at the time.
Nice quant shop.. Friendly staff.. Great Cheesecake
Busy as sin for the Dickens holiday, but the staff was working diligently!
Great place to chill with a coffee ☕!!
So cool
I won’t go there again. Nothing is special about it
Great friendly service wonderful food and drinks I would come every day
My wife and I aent there today and the service was amazing and lets not even talk about the flavour the cakes were amazing and so was the coffee we will be comming here more often !!
Staff was wonderful and made great recommendations. Cold brew was tasty but could have used more ice. Gluten free carrot cake cupcake was fantastic...wish I bought two. We enjoyed sitting outside.
Love all the drinks and the outdoor seating
Great place to go, great coffee, awesome deserts, great hours too!
Cute place to have coffee with friends.
Nice coffee spot..
This coffee shop is the definition of hometown love. All the people who work here are amazing and always have a recommendation on something yummy and new. This is a must stop when in Fayetteville's beautiful downtown.***Just started a special diet and they have suggestions and create the perfect drink, wouldn't be able to stick to it without their help!
I was there for the monthly Deaf chat meet. The individuals in the chat... Amazing. The server behind the glass counter, her attitude and demeanor needs work. Made everyone who encountered her feel unwelcome.
Rude Awakening- so many amazing things to say about your great establishment. I started coming to Rude Awakening in 2002, when you didn’t want to be spending time downtown. Their courtyard offered a peaceful location to talk with friends and dates all evening long. Fast forward 16 years- your brown bag lunch special is amazing for Downtown Employees and your coffee is still the best. Customer service is still amazing and it has those personal touches you come to love. Thank you Rude Awakening for 16 years of great coffee, amazing food and even better memories.
I have found my new coffee haven! I stumbled upon this gem after visiting a local bookstore and the baristas were out of this world accommodating. My espresso was delicious and I was even treated to foam art in the form of Rosie the Riveter. Great vibe, kind (and funny) baristas, and excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back because I need my coffee since drugs are illegal ;)
Coffee was terrible. Couldn’t even drink it.
Loved it. The taro frap is amazing
A-ma-zing. The coffee here is DELICIOUS! (And that’s coming from a coffee princess.) The people were friendly, the environment fun, and a great selection of coffees! We had cappuccinos so smooth... wow. Yeah, we will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!!!
This is my favorite coffee spot in Fayetteville! They have lots of different snack and drink options (lots of gluten free pastries and desserts!). They even offer pies from Fayetteville Pie Company. The staff is very friendly and the courtyard in the back is charming! A great place to grab a coffee or tea and hang out with friends or just relax and read a book.
So so space issues big time beverages are good food is below average
Decent mainstream coffee, wouldn't be my recommendation for specialty coffee aficionados.
Love the ladies here and the coffee is always on point. I like that they have snacks and novelty items
One of the best coffee shops in town! Very personal service always they go above and beyond to take care of you! The girls there make you feel at home each and every time you come in. They have such a variety of coffees and different things each day I can never get burned out. Each and every morning I get a surprise I let them pick my coffee something different everyday. It's very cozy and you couldn't ask to be treated any better they deserve more than five stars if I could give that to them! Thanks to each and everyone of you for making my day begin better with a smile and a great cup of coffee! As long as you're open I will continue to patronize you always best of luck to a great group of people!!!
I enjoy the quaint vibe of this coffee house. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable and I have never felt rushed to hurry up and get out so the next person can get in. I like the fact that they have outdoor seating both in front of and in back of the store. I usually get a decaf cappuccino or decaf latte and they have never accidentally given me caffinated coffee :-) I also enjoy the fact that if I order to drink there my coffee comes in an actual coffee cup and not a to paper cup and food is served on actual dishes.
Love the food, the people and the coffee!!! Took some yummy cookies to a client meeting last week. They were a hit! We are lucky to have Rude Awakening in the Cool Spring Downtown District.
Would recommend, I go here regularly. The ladies working there can make you just about anything you want based in how you're feeling. I usually get an Americano, but the lady Generally will get something fancy. Cookies are pretty good as well.
Try an iced white chocolate Prailine. You're welcome
Da bomb
Too crowded. We left because could not get service.
Soooo edgy and hip
Not very impressed. The coffee is subpar at best. For $4 I would much rather go to Starbucks where I can at least have a barista who greets me with a smile and looks like they want to be at work. When I ask for a coffee & bagel but only receive a coffee, that shows lack of caring. I won’t be back. What a shame because I was excited for a new local coffee shop.
Stopped in for a cup of coffee b/c of good reviews. Stood at counter for 10 minutes being ignored while one person slowly made a sandwich and the other was busy cleaning or something. People in front of me left and I followed suit. Unimpressed and won't be coming back. Heading down the street to Thr Coffee Cup.
Always lovely, always a good time. Love the staff and love the atmosphere. You'd be hard pressed to find a better coffee joint in town.
I love the friendly service and personality and atmosphere of Rude Awakening. You can sit inside, out front on the sidewalk or in the courtyard for a more intimate feel. This is my favorite local coffee house.
Every staff member I've come into contact with is super friendly and incredibly helpful, their drink menu is all amazing and their food is always very good. 10/10 would recommend.
The staff was nice. The brown bag lunch wasn't really all that the reviews made it sound like it was. It was pretty basic and didn't include a drink. For a little over $6 I got a croissant sandwich, a cookie and a choice from 3 types of chips or a fruit cup. The sandwich was pretty good though, I must admit. It would be worth the money had it included a drink. Other than that, nice environment and nice place to relax.
The best coffee shop around!! AWESOME STAFF!!!!
Absolutely relaxing and so enjoy the coffee and sweets! The staff are friendly and informative! A must do!
Weekend help sucks but owner us always good to me and great service during the week.
Wonderful experience today as always! Jeanette and Keisha were working today and the coffee and sandwiches were made to perfection! Super sweet ladies and beautiful atmosphere. Today my friend Jenny and I sat in the back patio area for the first time. Such a beautiful, rustic, historical feel! By the way try the sweet pickles on the sandwiches! I'm a dill pickle kinda girl but decided to give them a try. Yum!!
Great service and cool place but the coffee was a bit off its intended flavor. However, it was almost closing time so I give them the benefit of the doubt.
One of several cool coffee houses that you walk past in downtown Fayetteville.
Great place to grab a cup of coffee and sit outside while you enjoy downtown.
They made me the manliest fru fru drink ever !!! Love them
A bit pricey, but understandable due to location. It's definitely worth it
Haay Hay JESUS THIS PLACE IS NOT TO FANCY BUT IT IS WNDERFUL AS NATURAL STILE IT IS IN SIDE. THE FOOD AND SANDWISHES COFFEE ARE REAL GOOD ANY COFFEE FLAVORS THAT YOU WILL LIKE TO TEXT . FOR REAL YOU WILL LOVE ENJOY A COFFEE WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR YOUR LOVEONE NICE TO HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME TALKING AND WALKING IN DOWNTOWN FAYETTEVILLE NC. GO THERE AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DID LOVE VISIT AND ENJOY YOUR TIME THERE.
Love this coffee shop. I live supporting local businesses. They offer coffees, yeas, smoothies, sandwiches, candy bars, and more. Love the back patio.
I loved the service and the turtle hazelnut coffee was amazing
Haven't had the snacks but the coffee is good
Great coffee and atmosphere!
The actual address is on the side of the building
I love the back porch! I had the best key lime pie of my life here. ❤️❤️
Excellent service, great atmosphere and friendly staff.
Good coffee and very nice peiple work there. There is limited seating inside and about as much seating outside. Both are nice to sit and enjoy (weather permitting for outside). The whole place has a very trendy feel to it. There is only one draw back and it is a big one. The building is very narrow and the bar is set up so the ares to order and wait in line not to mention get to the seating area is a skinny hallway which is made smaller by decorations on the wall and bulky displays on the counter.
Excellent coffee, and to sit outside and watch the people walk by. It's so European.
I had the brown bag sandwich, it was amazing! The staff was great and the place was cozy!
Beyond Excellent Service Nikki and The Coffee is Always Consistently Perfect! - Athina Gonzales -
The best place to get coffee in all of Fayetteville NC!
When I lived in Fayetteville, this place was the best, not only was it the only place in Fayetteville who knew how to make good coffee, but the atmosphere was very inviting and a place to kick back and relax. Loved the courtyard out back. Another plus...they stayed open until 11pm so after work i would sometimes go and hangout with friends there. I miss this place.
I wish the place was a little bit bigger. The cheesecake is awesome. The staff is always friendly and helpful. One of the best reasons to go downtown.
Great folks, interesting atmosphere and great coffee and desserts.
Home town service beats a chain restaurant. Local flavors are available and so is great coffee.
Good coffee and good service when they aren’t busy. If it’s busy and you have multiple drink orders, send one person in to place the order if possible. This place is very cramped and close at the counter and gets packed quickly.
Absolutely my favorite place to have a coffee and sweet snack and enjoy the patio. Everyone is super friendly and always make sure we are always happy. Simply put! And Great place to visit,....daily!!!
I like that this place is locally run and the staff are friendly. What I don't like is the that they are not very eco-conscious. They have a decent amount of influence downtown and could do so much more to promote eco-friendly behaviors.
The chocolate cake was BANGING
This place is hands down the best coffee shop in Fayetteville. I come here just about every weekend and I never leave disappointed. All of the employees are very friendly and sometimes when I can't decide what I want I'll have them surprise with a drink of there choice and it's always great!
This place used to be amazing. I looked forward to getting coffee here everytime I went downtown. But the last couple of trips the coffee took forever and it wasn’t very good. I’ve started going down the street for my coffee.
Tried my first try. I was amazed. That's my wife by the way!
My first time visiting this very unique coffee shop. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The coffee was delicious. Most definitely will go again.
GREAT!!!! Service, coffee, smoothies , and. Hospitality. AWESOME
Service is always a hit or miss here as is the product consistency. When it is right, it is knocked out of the park. It is local and downtown which makes for a wonderful combination to walk down the street or sit out front with your drink and/or food. They have a great affordable lunch menu I recently discovered so I'll be back. Just wish they would work on consistency and maybe make the counter not so cluttered where you pay. Great stuff just kind of closes off the small opening where you pay and recieve your food.
This place is amazing!!! Good vibes and great people. I had a cold brew and croissant both were delicious.
A wide variety of coffees and natural products. Friendly service. Clean.
Love this little gem in downtown Fayetteville. The baristas know my order when I walk in the door and are always warm and friendly. The baklava is so yummy and I love the brown bag lunches.
You've just gotta go for yourself. It's unique and fabulous! Love!!
Owner always has a great attitude and willing to help.
Great coffee and super-friendly staff! Definitely the best place to go for a coffee and snack in the downtown area.
Super cute and cozy coffee shop in downtown Fayetteville! The employees were very kind and interactive. The menu is one of the old fashion felt boards which really goes with the aesthetic of the place. There is a back garden-ish area with a table and some chairs that is perfect for some indie-esque photo ops.
Download the ripples app and enjoy your picture on your favorite drink!
Wished I could rate a 0. Possibly one of the rudest people I've ever encountered! SAD.
Great people and my preferred coffee! Only worried about future plans for parking, believe it will affect downtown businesses
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G....so my bestfriend, her daughter, and I wanted something with some caffeine in it and this place was the closest from where we were coming from. First let just say its downtown and it's a nice little building. So all we knew was we wanting something very sweet with whip cream and decided on a cold latte.....unbeknownst to us she made 3 different drinks for us....lol we were drinking all 3 trying to figure out which one we wanted ....we got one that had cinnamon, one with Caramel, and one of the ladies signature drinks....they were all amazing.....we also got 2 large cheesecake slices....let's just say we will be coming back....oh did I mention that it was very affordable #Winning
I love it
Staff very friendly coffee great. Ordered extra shot of Carmel in coffee but she explained it's very sweet already so asked if willing to but try as is then could add extra shot it I still wanted it. No charge for the extra shot. Was glad someone was willing to make sure you get what you wanted. Coffee was perfect w/1 shot. The chocolate eclair was very good as well. Will definitely go back.
I’ve only been here a few times but it’s so bright and they have a beautiful courtyard out back, coffee is great, and their frappes take a huge dump on Starbucks frappes. Friendly service too and a huge selection of treats to compliment your beverage of choice. A must see location for coffee enthusiasts
Great cup of coffee... the place itself needs some spoofing up.
My favorite spot in downtown. Good for solitude and catching up with friends
Great atmosphere especially in the back. My bestie and I made this apart of our nightly visits downtown...
We go here twice a week and love it here. The staff is friendly and they have a good variety of food and drink items. Also a lot of gluten free items. Great little coffee shop.
Great specialty coffee drinks! Love the staff and customer friendly computer system. (Would love to re-design the layout of the place. There's a really narrow path between the wall and countertop and there are metal boxes mounted to the wall that protrude a good 5 inches into the limited space making it even more narrow - customers have to regularly squeeze by one another. If they cut back the counter, moved some of the displays to other parts of the shop, they really could open things up and not great such a logjam at the line.)
Nice small and quite cafe shop. The owner is real nice
Expensive and low quality coffee served by a person looking like she's homeless...many flies all over the place!
Best cozy coffee shop in town, hands down. Owners are fantastic people too.
Just too much fun..OH &COFFEE!
I cannot say enough good things about Rude Awakening. Locally owned and operated. Great coffee and amazing sweets. Try the Mexican Hot Coco. The best way to end a date nite ... ;)
Excellent coffee. Indoor smoking area Outside tables. Good prices.
Great coffee and awesome customer service.
Great place to get tasty, rich and delicious coffee!
Wonderful sandwiches
This is hands down my favorite coffee house in Fayetteville. They make you feel like family. Great service, good coffee and the open patio in the back is amazing!
I went with a friend for some good coffee & something sweet to eat. We were not disappointed. My caramel macchiato was delicious! We enjoyed sitting out back having a leisurely visit. The staff does a good job and they are always friendly
The Cappuccinos are amazing
Had a cup of regular Joe, it was good.
Nice little spot for a quick coffee.
Great coffee and selection in a up and coming area of Fayetteville
Small little coffee shop with a very nice staff. I ordered a vanilla frap, and it was delicious. Many variety of choices of coffees, lattes, fraps and espressos. Also they have snacks and choice baked goods to boot.
I have tried to come here three times and each time I have walked out. I understand if there’s only one person working, then yes there will be a wait. That’s not an issue. However, each time I have come here, I was never at least greeted or acknowledged that I walked in. The three times I’ve been, there’s only been a few people in front of me but I’ve waited over 10 minutes. Even standing in line by the counter, not one word was spoken to me or the people I went with each time. Tonight was the same picture. There was one party in front of us and I guess they were waiting on snack food. I stood there, and not a word, so I walked out. That was the last time I was giving that shop a try, I will not try again.
Nice place, nice coffee. Didn't love the chicken salad
Bright beautiful great coffee
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Rude Awakening!!! The best coffee in town. Beats Starbucks any day of the week! The staff is so kind and diverse. It is wonderful to walk in and they automatically know just what you want. You become more than a customer but a friend. Check them out! It’s locally owned so you will also be supporting our local economy!
Excellent food and customer service!
Visited on an afternoon weekday. Place was packed for 'lunch time' and was unfortunately a little short-staffed to effectively handle the line of customers waiting to order. Still, the bakery items I purchased were tasty and the coffee was fresh.
The drinks are delicious! Definitely deviates from the coporate, standard made drinks you would get from a franchise. The fresh baked bread is to die for! The quality of the product and the low prices make everything a steal. From the very first visit, you feel welcomed and comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful and genuine in the way they talk to you, as opposed to a forced demeanor and fake kindness. When I was having trouble ordering, one of the servers offered to make me a drink that was a personal favorite of his (which tasted amazing) and also offered to make me a custom drink every time I came in if I preferred. Keisha, from my first visit, made me feel right at home with her honesty and outgoing personality. Jennette is very kind and helpful, answering any and all questions to ensure your order is to your liking. There are multiple seating choices, from inside with the nice AC, out back in the beautiful terrace, to the cute tables out front that allow you to see the town and people watch. I have quickly become a regular and I'm astounded by the negative comments I've read. I would recommend Rude Awakening every time!
I was at rude awakenings this afternoon and the girls that work there were so friendly and helpful. Plus the coffe is delicious! I will definitely be going back and recommending it to all my friends.
Great people, coffee and food. Always a wonderful smile and great customer service. This unique coffee spot is welcoming to all people and provides excellent service to all. Owners are completely committed to a great experience, so if something is not to your liking, let them know and it will be fixed.... pronto! So glad they are downtown neighbors!
Coffee is great staff is friendly. A safe space
Excellent service and products
