26 Best Coffee Shops in Waco

“First time visiting Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, and it truly warmed our hearts. The owner took a moment to share the story behind the shop, and you can feel the love and purpose immediately. The mission to employ adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is beautiful, and the team is incredibly kind and welcoming. More than coffee it’s community.“

“Stopped by today and got a Coco Mocha. Delicious and the girl Emily who made my coffee was so nice as was Gigi ❤️“

“This place serves fine coffee drinks and specialty tea drinks. Once I bought an apricot scone drizzled with white chocolate made in their chocolate factory that is in the same building. The people who serve you are lovely and easy to talk to. I always stop here when passing through Waco because the vibes are great, the displays are beautiful, and the flavor is, plain and simply, the best I have ever had.“

“Can never go wrong with Black Rifle coffee. Drinks are always on point, staff is cool as heck and the atmosphere is so chill. Especially for vets like my husband and me who don’t want the hustle and bustle of a place like Starbucks, I always appreciate going to black rifle. Plus, the quality of coffee is also better than Starbucks anyway. Thanks guys!“

“I love the coffee and music and it clean , respectfully people and kind; One of my favorite places to go, I highly recommend it.“

“I really like this place. The environment is inviting and peaceful. The owner is friendly and down to earth. The coffee is great!!“

“Heading out of town after an event, needed road coffee. Found a place that made us think we needed to add a day to the trip... What a cozy, legit place to nestle in. Great drinks, friendly staff, and really great muffins. Art, furniture, merch, everything oozed comfort. Pet friendly, too. We come to Waco enough to say without a doubt -- we'll be back.“

“Stopped into this local Waco coffee shop and was genuinely impressed. The cappuccino was perfectly balanced — smooth, rich, and made with great espresso. You can tell they really care about their craft. We also tried the red velvet cupcake, and it was amazing — super moist with just the right amount of sweetness.

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly from the moment we walked in. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Waco. We’ll definitely be back! ☕️🧁“

“We stopped by this coffee shop while visiting Waco from further south. We got the lemon blueberry scone, pumpkin muffin, and 2 iced oat bonfire lattes. The scone was an absolutely delicious morning sweet treat. The pumpkin muffin was less sweet but equally tasty. The lattes sealed the deal that we will be back any chance we get!“

“Great coffee option, shorter lines, sweet people...what's not to love ❤“

“Highly recommend I love my Dutch bros crew“

“Highly recommend I love my Dutch bros crew“

“Hopefully Bru and Stories can figure out the branding soon and then make it a little more clear.
That saidif you're looking for Bru Coffee it is no longer located within this building. It's now at Stories Cafe at 800 Austin Ave, Waco, TX 76701.

Seems like an oversight that they haven't really made the change on Google or Apple maps. But hopefully this gets someones attention.“

“Amazing place!!!! An absolute must stop for the incredible historic value and especially the amazing customer service and high quality grains.“

“Best Boba, best food and best service ever! This place is a dream experience. Literally one of my favorite places in Waco!“

“The new location is nice it’s what to be expected of a Starbucks but their service is great compared to others I’ve been to around Waco. Cecilia and her co workers were nice and her service was spot on will keep coming to this location. I’m normally a “Dutch bro”because of the service but it’s nice to sit and get equal service“

“Perfect location downtown and the best coffee“

“Our family loves Cafe Cappuccino. The food is always delicious and the prices are super reasonable. The service is outstanding. My oldest has severe food allergies. This is the only place other than our own house and her Nonna’s house where she can eat pancakes safely. She is allergic to tree nuts and peanuts. They do have tree nuts in their kitchen but their chef is the best. They keep them separate. He cleans down the whole grill and makes sure it is safe for her. He even let me check the packaging on the batter to make sure it wasn’t in a facility with nuts. And the servers never sigh or look irritated when I tell them about her allergies and to make sure to let the kitchen know. They are always super nice and accommodating about it. That is not the usual experience at other restaurants. We have also gone several times with large groups of kids and they still are super sweet. I can’t recommend this place enough. It is our go-to place when we are downtown. If you haven’t tried it go because not only is the food delicious the people are fantastic. 💕 🥞 ☕️“

“Such a great place with amazing drinks and snacks! I love stopping here after work to try the latest drinks and they’re always made so good, I’ve never had a disappointing experience here which makes it better than other little coffee places!“

“I wanted to thank the Staff that was there at 7:30am on 11/4. My app wasnt working this morning and you guys gave me my order on the house and it meant the world to me. I have had a rough couple days as i had to move out of my home due to foreclosure and you guys really, really cheered me up. There are still good people in this world and want to make sure people know it.Thank you so much. And fyi, food and my drink were amazing. Excellent job!“

“Common Grounds in the Baylor SUB has been a gem for coffee enthusiasts like myself. As the smaller of the two Common Grounds locations on campus, it's perfectly situated for convenience, nestled right in the Student Union Building. This spot has been a sanctuary for me, offering a comprehensive menu that mirrors its larger counterpart near Brooks Flats.What makes this location stand out is its unique 'Cowboy Coffee' menu, an exclusive feature boasting drinks made with their famous, sweet, and caffeinated Secret Sauce. From the classic Cowboy Coffee to the innovative Coconut Cowboy, each option is available hot or iced, catering to all preferences.The array of house specialties like Frozen Cappuccino, Mocha Mint Madness, and the exotic Matcha Latte adds a delightful twist to the coffee experience. And let's not forget the staples - the perfectly brewed Drip Coffee and the robust Nitro Cold Brew are just a few of the options that keep me coming back.For students and faculty on the north side of campus, this Common Grounds location is a haven. It saves the trek across campus, offering a quick, delicious coffee fix right where it's needed. Whether you're grabbing a cup to kickstart your morning or seeking a cozy spot to unwind, Common Grounds at the Baylor SUB is the go-to place for top-notch coffee and a welcoming atmosphere.

“This place was AMAZING!!!! Great location, ample parking, plenty of tables for studying/reading/socializing. The food was phenomenal-I could eat 16 stick buns if left to my own devices. The baked oatmeal was delicious-it felt like I was eating a fall themed bread pudding. The cranberry and chocolate biscuit had a delightful flavor profile perfect for a chilly morning. The chia latte with pumpkin was ever PSL girl’s dream and the drip coffee was perfect.
The staff was SO sweet and made excellent recommendations and the menu was very versatile-ranging from vegan and vegetarian options all the way to breakfast tacos!

Highly highly recommend checking this place out!“
