Wake Cup Coffee Arrives at Milford Train Station House
Milford, CT – Commuters heading through Milford’s Metro‑North and Shore Line East station will soon have a new caffeine companion: Wake‑Cup‑Coffee, following the success of their two Fairfield locations, is set to open its third spot in the station house.
🚉 From Fairfield to Milford
Founded in 2020 by Stanley George, Wake‑Cup‑Coffee made waves with its original Fairfield Metro station shop and expanded in March 2024 with a second location on the southbound platform of downtown Fairfield’s station. These compact venues earned praise for high‑quality espresso, signature “Wake‑Cup‑Shot,” Bavarian pretzel sandwiches, pastries, and nitro coffee—all made on-site or sourced from their Fairfield kitchen.
✔ Why Milford Makes Sense
Milford station is a busy hub on the New Haven Line, serving Metro-North and CT Rail passengers. The station house offers an ideal space for commuters looking for a quick, quality pick‑me‑up. The precedent set by their Fairfield platform shop—pedestrian-focused, grab‑and‑go, with no indoor seating—fits well with commuter routines .
🌟 What This Means for Milford
According to Wake‑Cup‑Coffee’s Facebook announcement, the Milford station location will serve morning and midday travelers with espresso, lattes, and more.
Locals spotted owner George recently scouting the site and indicated final touches were underway. Based on Fairfield’s model, Milford’s new spot will likely offer the same menu favorites—Bavarian bun sandwiches, espresso drinks, pastries—designed to fuel early morning commuters.
- Speed & Convenience: Perfectly timed for rush hours, replicating Fairfield’s commuter-centric model.
- Distinct Flavors: Bringing European-inspired food and curated coffee blends to Milford.
