Wake the Dead Coffee House

An absolute gem in San Marcos. My girlfriend visits WTD every morning, and it certainly brightens her day. Wake The Dead is great because it is authentic. There are so so so many coffee shops nowadays that try way to hard to appeal to certain audiences, but this place is just happy that be itself. An awesome outside area that's smoking friendly, great local art, daily groups and meetings, live music, consistent and tasty coffee, and great employees. Keep rocking Wake The Dead!

The staff is super friendly and the setting is really chill. They’ve got live music, a comfortable outdoor seating area, and a nice selection of both nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages for either studying or blowing off steam. I’m personally not a Texas State student but if I was this would be a nice spot throughout the week.

This place is awesome! I Love their chai latte as well as coffee and vibes!

Great coffee, don't order food. Short staff means you wait for food until all coffee customers are served, cold cuts included. I won't ever eat here again! However, the coffee and pastries (which are prepared beforehand) are amazing. It's a coffee house, get coffee.

I was visiting my grandparents who live about a 15 min walk away. I took their dog for a walk as an excuse to get out of the house and get some real coffee. This place doesn't currently allow dogs and I was too scared to leave him alone outside but they worked with me over the phone to get my precious caffeine. Thank you so much and I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

Also French vanilla latte was excellent and not too sweet.

Great coffee ,great service.The atmosphere was super cool.

Really good coffee. This place is cute and could have repeat business and such a following but the staff are anything but friendly.

Really great coffee, though the prices for food/alcohol aren't amazing. The ambiance outside is very cool though, and as said above, the coffee rocks.

So San Martian, with the BEST nova lox and cream cheese bagel I’ve ever tasted! The bagel was perfectly toasted, a light crispy crunch on the outside and fresh soft dough inside. Served open face, with two mounds of lox on fluffy cream cheese, tomatoes and capers (I passed on the red onion). Each side could have been a meal by itself, but so good I ate the whole thing. They sell coffee beans as well. My husband says that Jumping Mouse is the best! Definitely going back again!

Great little coffee shop. The atmosphere is relaxed and eclectic. Staff was friendly and personable. Looks like local artist's artwork adorning the walls.

Coffee and banana nut bread was tasty.
