“I’m convinced that this is the cutest and tastiest coffee shop in Waco. The staff is very personable and honest. They’ve cultivated an atmosphere that really does make you wish you could be there everyday. I ordered an iced Ombré half sweet and it was chef’s kiss. Parking is a bit tricky to get to. The turn off the feeder looks like an alleyway, but just keep going and it’ll lead you to the parking lot BEHIND the shop.“

“Absolutely love the cocktails here! I make a point to stop in anytime we are in the area!“

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

“Love love love this place! Highly recommend“

“Immediate takeaway - the absolute most creative coffee stand. It's in a vintage elevator! Simple, elegant, quirky, one-barista Cafe. Great drink selection for the size and resources available. The barista seemed to be a bit distant, not the warmest, but, may have been me. Drinks were well timed, but the dirty chai I got was not sweet at all, surprisingly. Not the worst, just unexpected for the flavor. Overall, a great little place in a historic building with cool vibes and good brews.“

“Highly recommend I love my Dutch bros crew“

“Perfect location downtown and the best coffee“

“Katie ( she has glasses and was on the register dine in ) rung me up this morning she was SO nice and I had a complicated drink she did her best to give it to me in a way where not to over charge me or make it more difficult to make for the baristas. I am also sick and lost my voice she asked me if I wanted a water as well . Just the fact she noticed I could use it was nice and NOTICED. Keep her she’s an asset.“

“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.

“All of the staff here are absolutely amazing and friendly. I have been coming to Cafe Cappuccino for years and they take time to learn your name and your order as a regular customer.

Food is always delicious and a wide variety of options to choose from.

You only need one pancake if your order has an option for this or toast. They are gigantic!“

“I love everything about this place! I’ve been here 4 times and I will be back. As soon as u walk in they’re very welcoming and the service is just amazing, the employees are soooo nice everytime we go. The food is so good, it never disappoints. I’m always excited to try new things on their menu.“

“My husband and I are foodies and always on the look out for something new. This place did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. Great farm to table eating.“

“Nice place, not for everyone. I’ve been here twice. Had good service both times. Good drinks. But the place isn’t for everyone. If you are a young, hip, millennial this is your place. Gen-X it’s okay, limited cocktails due to their serving only their specialty drinks. No food. If you wear a pop knot or a man bun you will fit in perfectly.“

“My wife and I wanted to try something new today, so I searched for a "brunch" restaurant. The Toasted Yolk did not disappoint! We both liked everything that was ordered. I got the biscuits and gravy with the Hashbrown Casserole (junkyard style). The hash browns were a little smaller than I was expecting, so after eating, I ordered the sourdough french toast. We will definitely be returning customers.“

“Absolutely delicious and fresh ingredients. So many options for add ins and toppings. I ordered the Ohana bowl for a post work out lunch and it was so refreshing!“

“6-17-24 ,,
