Really cool place very different from other coffee shops, but I loved their decor. Coffee was pretty good. I would definitely come back and actually sit and enjoy my time here.

Wake the Dead is not a coffee shop. It's a coffee experience. The atmosphere and general vibe boasts a place to come for a casual lounge experience while getting some top notch caffeine.
I visited Wake the Dead, while visiting Texas for the first time. My hosts couldn't say more about how much they loved this local staple. The goth/punk, macabre decoration is a delight. And there's artwork all over from real artists that are available to purchase. They also apparently host events and are integrated into the local community. As a New Yorker in San Marcos for the first time, I was really really impressed. I was made a half chai half matcha latte and it was easily in my top three experiences while visiting the state. Next time I'm in Texas, I would love to just hang out there in the evening, sipping on a glass of wine (which they also sell. Again. But lounge vibes. And I love it)
And the people who work there are friendly, kind and diligent. Several weeks after the fact, I called to purchase one of the prints I'd seen on the wall. Whoever was managing their Instagram account helped me track down the artist and got me what I needed. It was the easiest thing Id ever done across state lines. I really Appreciated every aspect of my Wake The Dead experience.

Very Austiny, I love the vibe of this funky place. Great patio with lots of tree shade, very pleasant atmosphere and good music to work with. The coffee is good and they have baked goods at reasonable prices. No indoor seating for now and few plugs outside, but you can borrow a
power strip from them. The patio is really really nice on a nice day. And it’s perfect for Halloween! (it’s right by a cemetery:)

Nice little coffee shop coffee shop. Nice place to have a cup and visit. Good selection of coffee drinks, tea options, sweet treats, or even a beer. Nice indoor or outdoor seating areas.

A must see! I live in Austin so coming here is a bit of a drive for me but well worth it! The coffee is better than any Starbucks I've ever had, the pastries are amazing and the atmosphere ...i mean come on! It's amazing! My husband and i drive here at least one weekend a month and i always look forward to it. We've even made new friends here. Don't sleep on this place!

The coffee was good. I had an almond milk latte with honey, and I was pleased with it. The staff were friendly, esp the guy making our coffees. The location is good with plenty of parking and most tables were available. The only issue was the lighting. Some of the colors they use really bother my eyes. If you're sensitive to certain lights like I am, you may have some issues.

Great space for to go or to stay and work. Lots of tables to close from, the parking lot will fit larger vehicles, big outdoor patio area that’s pet friendly, and delish breakfast tacos in the morning (get there early!) Wi-Fi worked great, and I love the homey feel & super friendly staff. If you’re a road warrior for sure hit this place up.

This is my favorite coffee house! I've been coming here for over 10 years and love the staff, service, selection, and atmosphere. My mom loves it too. Anyone who boos this place just hates having a good time, lol! The owner is also very supportive of locals and guests. She hosted my first art opening here back when I was in college, and goes above and beyond for me and other artists all these years later. I LOVE WTD 🖤🤘💀
