Wake the Dead Coffee House

I went in last night on the 18th of June with two friends, and I have never had a better coffee house experience that I can honestly remember. This place is always charming, cozy, and fun because of it’s atmosphere, and the staff are always quick, efficient, and warm and friendly. Last night was exceptional, and the two ladies serving were great. It was outstanding.

This is the best coffee shop on Earth. The service is fantastic, the drinks are yummy and they have tacos in the morning. You can get a sandwich or soup or cookies or muffins -all so good. There is art on the walls done by local artists. There is a beautiful outdoor area and several rooms to study or chat in. I go here twice a week or more I love it so much. Highly recommended. I usually get tea or smoothy. Peach pear apricot is so tasty. Maybe I'll see you there.

Pretty cool place. Grungy. Better selection of beer than coffee, which I was pleasantly surprised by (coffee is still good though). They have a beautiful patio... And people smoking at every table. If I'm visiting somewhere to go drinking, this is perfectly acceptable and I may indulge every while, but it became only slightly annoying while I'm trying to sip coffee and focus on school work, as the tables are spaced well enough apart. No complaints from the actual establishment though. The epitome of "keep Austin weird."

Thanks for the delicious coffee!

Cool dive. Very retro and nightmare before Christmassy

Funky, eclectic local coffee shop with great patio.

Wonderful eclectic place, with incredible tea, coffee, desserts, sandwiches and soup. It has the most beautiful outdoor patio in San Marcos. I LOVE Wake the Dead ❣

Great service, great coffee and food. The patio scenery is the cherry on top! Highly recommend stopping here when you’re in San Mo!

It has always been amazing. Even being in the patio was okay. However, it needs to be mention there are two restrooms that are not allowed to customers. The only available restroom is in the gas station next door which is very inconvenient. It isn't nice to your customers that you invite to come in and seat since they have made a purchase, but you are not permitting them to use the restroom.

Why not have customers use masks and sanitizer before going indoor ONLY to use the facility and assuming they wash hands afterwards. One restroom can be for customers and the other for the employees only or you need to install an portable outhouse.
This was an amazing place that we couldn't wait to show off since it was different, but not now because we feel unwelcome.

From the first time I heard about awake the Dead to every visit I’ve had it has been wonderful. Haven’t had coffee -yet, but tea and bagel with Lox has been excellent every time. Staff has always been super kind and friendly and the atmosphere is laid back.
