☕️ Good Morning, Saluda! ☕️

Just a friendly reminder that our espresso machine is still down today while we wait for repairs. We know it’s disappointing, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.

The good news is we’re OPEN and still serving up plenty of delicious coffee! Stop by for a fresh cup of our signature drip coffee or cool off with an iced coffee. We also have our limited C**n Dog Day festival menu available today to help keep things moving quickly during the busy weekend.

Thank you again for sticking with us through this little hiccup. We can’t wait to see you today, and we appreciate all of the support you’ve shown us. ❤️

What a day! ☕🐾

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to celebrate C**n Dog Day with us! We were absolutely blown away by the support and are so grateful to everyone who stopped by Wakey Monkey. We also want to thank you for your patience as we worked through the crowds and did our best to get everyone’s orders out as quickly as possible.

As luck would have it, our espresso machine decided that the busiest day of the year was the perfect time to develop an issue… go figure! 😅

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to have it repaired until sometime Tuesday. We will be open during this time, but we will not be able to make any espresso-based drinks (lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, mochas, etc.) until the machine is back up and running.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we get everything back to normal. We look forward to serving you again soon—with espresso included!

Thank you again for making this year’s C**n Dog Day such an incredible one. ❤️

Two years ago today, we were blessed with the opportunity to become the owners of Wakey Monkey Coffee Café. Looking back, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the love and support this incredible community has shown us.

To every customer who has stopped in for a cup of coffee, shared a meal with friends, recommended us to others, or simply greeted us with a smile—thank you. Your encouragement has meant more than words can express.

Over the past two years, we’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people, celebrating life’s milestones with you, and becoming a small part of your daily routines. We truly believe Wakey Monkey is more than a coffee shop—it’s a gathering place, and that’s because of all of you.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our dream and allowing us to serve the amazing Saluda community. We look forward to many more years of coffee, conversations, friendships, and making memories together.

Here’s to two wonderful years… and many more to come! ❤️☕🐵

With grateful hearts,

Eric & Melissa
