The streets are studded with lots of food joints with waakye and rice being the commonest during the day time. The nights are alive with music from various clubs, pubs and so on. Notable among these is Park and Pork, located on the Mangoase junction. The town is quite religious and has many churches as well as a zongo located at Awoshie Station. Some of the most notable churches in Awoshie include the various Church of Penetcost local assemblies, Victory Bible Church, the Apostolic Churches etc.

Awoshie happens to be a residential area with most of women engaged in one form of trade or the other. Typically, a day in Awoshie begins at 4am when market women start leaving their homes to the roadside to join buses mostly headed for Accra central. A few join buses headed for other markets such as the Kasoa, Madina maerkets and so on. Men, on the other hand, are usually preparing to drive the market women to town around this time. As the day grows and more market women have been conveyed to their destinations, the way is clear for others like hawkers, mobile money agents, food vendors, students, cobblers etc
