Our menu

Pastries Made Fresh Daily

The aroma of warm butter and sweet vanilla fills the air from our pastry case. Flaky croissants, glistening with a light glaze, beckon. Beside them, fresh muffins, and then the delicious cinnamon buns! Each pastry, baked fresh this morning. Paired with a steaming latte, these treats are a moment of pure, indulgent joy.

Our Full Story

Our Happy Customers

"In contrast to the vast number of bland corporate coffee places the Wakey Monkey is a charming independent coffee shop nestled in downtown Saluda. Providing delicious coffee paired and a selection of fresh goodies the ambiance is absolutely perfect for this quaint little town. Paintings for sale by a local artist adorn the walls. Next time in Saluda I will definitely make a return visit to Wakey Monkey."

“Been living in Polk County for 2 years. Wakey Monkey by far, to me, hands down has the best tasting coffee in town. It's located in Saluda and on a side street off Downtown Saluda. Cute, cozy, and quaint shop with amazing coffee, smoothies, and a delicious breakfast menu. I've had the cinnamon roll and blueberry cream cheese danish. Both were heavenly! Staff is on point, very helpful, and friendly. Love places like this - makes you feel warm, invited, and at home. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”

“I love exploring new places and new coffee shops that are not chain coffee shops. Therefore while in here in north carolina visiting helping hurricane relief, I wanted to explore many coffee shops for the time Im here. This one was incredible. The staff are so sweet, it has a cozy vibe that makes it welcoming and warming. Overall coffee was amazing. I like espresso therefore it was amazing. Would def hang out here again.”
