About

Right on the historic Route 66 strip in Williams, Brewed Awakenings Coffee Co. is the small-town coffee shop that keeps South Rim-bound travelers loyal — a 4.5-star rating across more than 1,500 reviews for a shop this size is no accident. It's an independent coffeehouse with a drive-thru, serving espresso drinks, breakfast eats, and frozen yogurt out of a cozy space that fills up fast on canyon-trip mornings.

What to expect

The menu leans into specialty espresso — reviewers single out the honey-lavender latte and the frappés — alongside smoothies, yogurt parfaits, homemade pastries, and breakfast sandwiches like an egg-and-cheese on bagel. Gluten-free eaters are well looked after here, with celiac-safe prep and dedicated GF bread and packaged options. When the line inside gets long, as it often does on busy mornings, the drive-thru on the west side of the shop keeps things moving.

Hours: open daily, 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Price: budget-friendly ($)
Location: 326 Historic Rte 66, on the north side of the street, Williams

It's a small shop with local art on the walls, a handful of tables, and street parking that can be tight at peak times — but the friendly, fast service is what keeps people coming back before or after a day at the canyon.

Love this organic coffee shop! Gluten friendly options are greatly appreciated. Limited to prepacked Udi's or Cashew Butter Based Off The Farm meal bars if you're extra sensitive. The smoothie & yogurt parfait (not ultra sweet) were great for us! If not GF, their egg & cheese sandwich on a regular bagel is heaven on earth. Decaf Latte was a little weak, but my fault for not ordering something with less milk. 😄 Brewed coffee was perfect. We visited last year too. The return trip this year was equally as good, if not better. Was glad to see they survived, unlike Canyon Donuts, as they're trying very hard to offer the best quality of food/drink possible in such a small town which can be a gamble. Definitely worth stopping by! Hoping others support this place until we can return again.

This lively coffee shop was booming on our trip out of grand canyon - though a huge line we moved along quite well. Staff were friendly and helpful. Many GF options and celiac safe with separate container. I asked for egg sandwich on gf bread- no problem them had and it was great! Delicious smoothies and homemade pastries! I also ordered the meadow latte honey and lavender it was perfect not too sweet! Great local art and lots to look at!

Decent stop. We ordered a cappuccino, London fog latte, and matcha along with the burritos and quinoa oatmeal. The latte and matcha were pretty good and the coffee probably had great flavor before it got burnt and served to us with all the grounds in it. It got tossed out. The burritos were super basic, just eggs and potatoes with the flavor dependent on a tiny container of salsa too small to serve the entire burrito. Pros: they were pretty sizeable and the eggs were perfectly cooked. The quinoa oatmeal with fruit won the day. Apparently it's the only coffee place in town because everyone and their uncle was there ordering, which meant roughly a 30 minute wait for a Starbucks type dining experience. We were fortunate enough to get a table. Many people did not. All in all, not a fabulous experience, perhaps in part because they were so overwhelmed. One non-gendered bathroom available. Local art and brand clothing available for sale.

Such a cute place! I really enjoyed this cafe. The staff is friendly and helpful. I got the Java chip frape. Unlike some places, you can really taste the coffee. It is sweet but not overly so. The turkey, bacon bagel is delicious. They also have a small shop with shirts, cups and lots of fun stickers to browse. Just a fun place to eat a sandwich and drink delicious coffee. I liked everything about it. Good experience and I’d love to come back someday. ❤️
