A Story Steeped in Passion
From humble beginnings to a beloved community hub, our journey is one of dedication to the craft of coffee.
Crafting Community Through Coffee
Founded in 2015 by coffee enthusiasts Elena Rodriguez and James Wilson, Brewed Awakening began as a small roastery in Portland's historic Pearl District. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a beloved community gathering place, known for its exceptional coffee and welcoming atmosphere.
Our mission is simple: to source the world's finest beans ethically, roast them to perfection in-house, and serve them with genuine hospitality. We believe coffee is more than a beverage—it's a catalyst for connection, creativity, and community.
Why Brewed Awakening?
We're obsessed with quality at every step, ensuring the perfect cup reaches your hands.
Ethically Sourced
We build direct relationships with farmers to ensure fair wages and sustainable practices from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms.
Expertly Roasted
Our master roasters use traditional techniques combined with modern technology to unlock each bean's unique potential.
Freshness Delivered
We roast in small batches multiple times per week and ship within 24 hours. Taste the difference that true freshness makes.
From Bean to Cup
Our quest for the perfect coffee takes us around the world. We partner with small, dedicated farms in the most renowned coffee-growing regions.
Antigua, Guatemala
Nestled between three volcanoes, the rich soil produces beans with a full body, and notes of cocoa and soft spice.
Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia
The birthplace of coffee, Yirgacheffe's beans are renowned for their bright, floral, and citrus notes.
Sumatra, Indonesia
Known for the unique wet-hulling process, these beans offer a heavy body with deep, earthy flavors of cedar and tobacco.
What Our Community Says
We're proud of the coffee we roast, but we're even prouder of the community we've built.
"The Colombian Supremo is hands down the best coffee I've ever had. The depth of flavor is incredible and it arrives perfectly fresh every single time. Brewed Awakening has ruined other coffee for me!"
"I love the atmosphere at the Pearl District cafe. It's my go-to spot for getting work done. The staff are always so friendly, and the Honey Lavender Latte is my absolute favorite treat."
"The pour-over guide on the website is fantastic! I finally feel like I can make a decent cup of coffee at home. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion with the community."
