“This is such a hidden gem. Their food is very special and creative and the taste is suuuuper good! I ordered stuffed avocado with salmon, the drizzle is a perfect touch. The vibe feels like family and I’m touched to see Tom & Jerry playing on the TV. They just have great taste over all kinds of everything! Will definitely visit again next time in Waco. Can’t wait to try their sandwiches!“

“First time in -- staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Our drinks were absolutely amazing -- and I was so surprised by how fast we got our drinks! Making this an official stop next time we are in Waco!“

“This Cafe is truly a God send. not only do they serve delicious home-cooked Southern meals but they also bring respect and compassion to the table.compassion for all. here we all sit on the same table and eat a meal of our choosing meaning they allow you to choose which meal you would like to from two different already prepared meals then after you are seated a waiter brings you a tray with a variety of different desserts.( choose one), then let me tell you you've never tasted tea this good. so so refreshing. especially on a hot summer day. Refill?? Yes please.this Cafe is built within a house. the living room turned into a dining area, the kitchen was widened, library to the left then around the next corner another room turned into a dining area. upon arrival (depending what time you get there) you wait in line .(please do not block the door) choose your dish then choose your table and enjoy and yes! it's absolutely Free... the interior is very clean, not to crowded and after you are done eating the waiter or waitress will pickup after you and prepare the way for the next guest. the atmosphere here is no different than any upscale 5 star restaurant although I did enjoy my conversation here just a tad bit more. mainly cause they were rooted in kindness with compassion. there are restrooms, it is wheelchair accessible but no wifi and parking is rough but it's definitely worth the small thing we go through. I'm not exactly sure how the book part works ,maybe cause the meatballs in mashed potatoes had me savoring the taste😛 but if you so choose afterwards you can catch a seat on the wrap around porch or benches out back and strike up a great conversation as your food settles. I strongly recommend this Cafe to all who visit Waco remember Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m...enjoy“

“We had the wonderful opportunity to eat at McDowell’s today. Our meal was perfect. We both had catfish and all the trimmings. I strongly recommend you go! Mr Mac is wonderful. We will definitely be back soon!“

“What you need and want from a local book store! There is great quality and variety of coffee, snacks, etc. And the bookstore is a gem for finding great titles and exploring. Staff make recommendations and hold regular book events with authors. The childrens section and it's narnia door is whimsical and fun. 5 Star book store!“
