Milford’s newest coffee shop, Wake-Cup Coffee, recently opened its doors on September 29 in the Milford Train Station. With two additional locations in Fairfield, Wake-Cup Coffee serves a variety of handmade baked goods and beverages. The store is open from 5:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.-12 p.m. on weekends. With great service and kind employees, the cafe is a perfect way to start your travels.

“My favorite part of a typical shift is getting to practice my latte art,” Barista Gia T said.

The coffee shop offers a plethora of baked goods, including  Pao de Queijo and a Chocolate croissant. The Pao de Queijo is a baked cheese roll traditional to Brazilian cuisine which had a crunch soft outside, immediately met with a crumbly and cheesy inside with flavors that burst from the first bite. The chocolate croissant was flaky and buttery with soft chocolate on the inside. 

The menu also provides customers with many beverage options. The small hot drip coffee had a bold nutty flavor and the small iced matcha had a sweet aftertaste with a smooth texture. There were a lot of seating options with vibrant decorations and soft music playing in the background that made it all the more cozy.

“Wake-Cup Coffee is a great new addition to the Milford community that is conveniently located with a welcoming atmosphere,” customer Steven Zagami said.
