It’s a little pricey, but that’s because grow all the food that they serve from my understanding. Let me tell you, the food is wonderful. Peach Sweet Tea, table bread, and Corn Fritters are a must try. Family friendly atmosphere. Very clean facility. We will be back.“

“Awesome place to meet up, have coffee and get cool books. They have great gifts too! My sister lives in Dallas and I live in Austin. We meet up in Waco and this is an awesome place to meet. They have a kid friendly children’s book area. Ella made us all our coffee and she was quick and friendly. My nephew loved Melinda the Dragon and apparently she guards the bookstore at night. We agreed I would buy him a book here every time we come to Waco.“

“I’ve never had a bad experience here. This is my go to place! Love it!“

“Needed a breakfast place that opened early and had a variety of breakfast options. We have some food issues, so this place serves pretty much everything you'd ever expect for breakfast, including gluten free options, etc. and they opened at 7:30am on a Sunday.
Overall this should be a pretty good review. Nice place, clean, nice staff. Food was decent.
Our only negative issues were two: they came and took our drink order pretty quickly, then two waters, a coffee and a hot tea took 20 minutes. Then another 10 minutes until someone, someone different, came and took our food order. And then, 20 minutes after that, the food didn't show up correct.
I ordered the "Veggie Swiss" omelet. The server repeated back my order "You want the veggie omelet?". I figured, OK, so "yes".
Came with tiny chopped veggies (1/4" cubes) and zero swiss cheese. I did also do a substitution, grits for toast and the grits were OK. Not fully cooked but grits are indeed hard to get right. They were decent, as was the cheese-less, very plain and simple omelet. My wife just got two fried eggs and hashbrowns and those were good, except she ordered two orders of hashbrowns and they delivered only one - and then promptly went back and brought us out another.
Had to flag someone down to get a refill of coffee.
Nice place but management needs to train and supervise these Baylor college kids. Smart kids, nice, good atmosphere, polite and clean, but the service issues tainted an otherwise good time.“
