7 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Waco

“We ate at Waco Waffle today. They had a lot of business but still got everyone in and with their food in an impressively timely manner. We actually had a small medical issue with our son and the owner was so helpful, wise, and kind. The food was really good but the people there are even better. 5 stars all the way. Thank you. (and our granddaughter loved watching the water wheel at the big window)“

“Great breakfast/brunch stop while traveling from Dallas to Austin! The staff was very friendly and patient with my two picky eaters. The only suggestion I’d make is to offer regular pancakes for kids, since some little ones might not love the wheat version. My 9-year-old and I thought they were delicious, but my 6-year-old didn't because it was wheat . He's just a picky eater!

I really appreciated the healthy menu options. Parents had the avocado toast with poached eggs, and it was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!“

“The Toasted Yolk Café in Waco left me with mixed feelings. First, the vibe was pretty much absent—lime green walls didn’t create the cozy breakfast atmosphere I’d hoped for. Their menu is huge, with around 50+ items, but it felt like a quantity-over-quality situation. The egg toast, though, was the star—two pieces of goodness that stood out. As for the rest? Heavy, country-style breakfasts, nothing light or memorable. Service was fine but nothing special, and the price was on the high side. I spent $25 for one person (with tip), and that’s just coffee, no cocktails included. A party of two could easily hit $40+. Big portions, but not necessarily bold flavors. If you’re after a hearty meal, sure, but I’m not rushing back.“

“Did drive-thru today as lobby is still closed. Their breakfast bacon croissants are awesome & at a reasonable price. Great, friendly service. Appreciate them still using caution & practicing social distancing. Have always had pleasant experience here. Won’t disappoint!“

“This place was recommended by a friend. I've been to several coffee shop / breakfast places in Waco but this one had the biggest menu of them all and everything I ordered was great. As a matter of fact I came back three more times during the week I was here!“

“Had a breakfast combo that included French toast. #1 It’s huge. I thought I had two slices of thick bread. Nope, one thicc chonk of bread. #2 The perfect blend of sweet/buttery/savory. #3 I felt like I was tasting a piece of my childhood amped up with gourmet flair. Most folk probably don’t think of IHOP as gourmet but yeah.

Lovely staff, fabulous food, 10/10, no notes. Thank you.“
