Mom says breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but who has the time? Jump-start your busy morning with a freshly-made muffin and latte from Awakenings Coffee & Wine.
For many independent businesses, being the top coffee and wine shop in Cincinnati would be enough. The owners of Awakenings return the love by supporting the community as a gathering spot where customers can enjoy the work of local artists and musicians.
