Brewed Awakening - Metuchen

This is definitely my new go-to spot for takeout. The food is top-notch in both taste and portion size. Orders are filled quickly and efficiently, and the customer service is super friendly.

The food was tasty overall, but a bit on the salty side. I also wish they offered cream and sugar for the brewed coffee.

We were party of seven including one kid. Food was okay but service was absolutely terrible. We wait about 10 minutes to give order and one hour to get it. Plus they brought wrong food and two of us had to wait another 15 minutes. There was no syrup on the table but nobody was around to ask. When we asked the check one kid came with the receipt with numbers only and one of the most advanced POS device to charge us. They had that device but no itemized bill/receipt, can’t split the bill automatically. But they are very clever to charge you credit card fee automatically and show you the tip screen (I tipped). It’s all owner’s/manager’s fault. I admire the kids who is working on Sundays.

Great little spot for breakfast or brunch. Friendly service and fresh food. Good portion sizes that are reasonably priced. A wide variety of coffee and espresso based drinks. Plenty of healthy options on the menu with a mix of wraps and sandwiches for lunch as well. It's a small place so just be cautious because seating is limited during busy hours. Definitely recommend the French toast. My only complaint was that they need to do a better job rinsing their glassware, the tap water tasted like it had soap residue.

My daughter and I was lucky to find this gem offering a page in their menu for vegan options. We had missed out in the free breakfast at the hotel we were staying in Clark, NJ and left starving after check-out. We drove to a cafe in Rahway that indicated in a Google search that vegan options were available and a customer review stated they had tofu scramble. However, when we arrived they only had a couple of cookies and avocado toast for to choose from. We were so disappointed. We ran another Google search for Vegan Restaurants Near Me and we, both, decided on Brewed Awakening in Metuchen. We are so glad we did. The area was clean and safe. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming. The Iced Chai and Matcha Lattes were THEE best we 've ever had. We chose the tofu scramble and Avo Chick as our options. Spicy Chorizo Chickpeas were the feature of the Avo Chick which we requested to have on the side due to our low tolerance for spicy. They were very tasty in low consumption (small bites at a time), if you 're not a big spicy food eater. The potatoes and tofu scramble mix was delicious with the added vegan cheese and avocado. We were so hungry that we forgot to take pictures of the food as we normally do. We would definitely return when visiting the area. Thank you!
