We hosted my daughter's baby shower at the Wakery and it was a phenomenal venue. The decor was very sophisticated, we had a delicious coffee bar, and the mocktails were out of this world! Elizabeth, the owner, was super helpful and kind, and we left the Wakery with such a positive glow. I highly recommend this venue for all kinds of events.

Very cozy place with ton of selections to choose from. I live in Chicago and was visiting Springfield, and found this gem on Google. I was impressed on how many non-alcoholic drinks they have - just like the real thing 😝
I would normally buy a coffee/latte anywhere else, but I tried their avocado toast and peach tea with foam! Yum! Everything tasted delicious! I am very picky, especially when it comes to food and drinks. So I have to say, everything exceeded my expectations! Also, how can you beat $11 bucks or an exotic tea and avocado toast! 😁
The two ladies in the front were very sweet, and gave me some recommendations. I ate my toast so fast that I forgot to take a picture! Overall great vibe, energy, and service. I can’t wait to be back, and try everything on the menu! Thank you 😊

The Wakery is a solid choice for a good cup of coffee. The coffee itself is quite good, with a rich flavor that stands out. The ambiance is nice and comfortable, creating a pleasant atmosphere for both relaxation and work. It's open late, which is convenient for those who need a place to unwind or catch up on work after regular hours. We had a pleasant time there, appreciating its convenient location that’s easy to get to from various parts of the city. It's also a great spot for remote work, with ample seating and a quiet environment. Overall, a good place to visit.

I hosted a baby shower at the Wakery and it was an absolute dream! Elizabeth was great to work with and was accommodating to all of my ideas for the shower. The non-alcoholic cocktails were an hit for the guests and the mother to be. She was more than happy to let me work with multiple vendors and be creative with the space. Would absolutely recommend for a baby shower or any event.

I love having a non-alcoholic spot in town! I have tried multiple of their items, like their peppermint mocha expresso martini, the raspberry vanilla Italian soda, the cinnamon roll iced latte, and the pop tarts from Golden Hour Bakehouse! Everything is absolutely amazing. Friendly and helpful service. Beautifully decorated and relaxing, quiet atmosphere. It is downtown and close to a lot of places. I love how they change their menu to do some monthly/seasonal specials. They host many fun events and really involve the community. I will be back and can’t wait to try more! I highly recommend!

I would spend more than half of my paycheck here if I wouldn’t get my wrist slapped by Caleb Hammer. I really cannot say enough about what Elizabeth has created and maintained. This is my favorite place to hang out before midnight shift. 11/10 would recommend. If you don’t know, now you do!

I went for the first time for their Quiet Book Club and I just loved it! The atmosphere is so nice, bartender was the sweetest! I had already looked at the menu before I went in because there are so many great choices. I picked the Harvest Peach hot tea, (it was freezing outside). And it was so good. I can not wait to visit again.

We tried the wakery for the first time last weekend and we will be back! Amazing drinks and great service. We tried the peach sangria, espresso martini, and house made olive tapenade and loved it all. The place is very cute with a great atmosphere. I'll be back to try the coffee and some of the other local made treats soon.
