Aesthetically designed space with plenty of seating and natural light, with some cozy corners. Friendly service, the only downside is they stopped making their own syrups. Everything else was a good vibe!

I came in looking for fresh bagels. Instead, I found a neat nook for coffee and a quiet visit alone or with friends you bring here. The staff seem very friendly and helpful.

For Keeps is my go-to coffee shop! Not only do they have a great selection of bakery items and coffee, but their wifi is the fastest and most consistent coffee shop wifi in Waco by far. Their staff is always friendly and they have great taste in music... This is one of the few coffee shops where I keep my airpods in my bag haha. They have lots of great and accessible seating options - booths, tables, stools. I love For Keeps!

We had a Strawberry Basil Latte and Peach Cobbler Latte. The Strawberry Latte was the better of the two. We also had a cinnamon bun and kolache. The kolache was cold inside and the cinnamon bun was real good except the bottom was hard.
For Keeps Coffee & Bakery a.k.a “FK” in the chat a.k.a my home away from home.
Short Review: #1 coffee and baked goods selection AND the best vibes in Waco, Texas.
Long Review: From a product standpoint - Their consistency and value for excellence is what keeps me coming back to For Keeps. As someone who has frequented this shop for a few years now, I know that I can count on really good coffee and fresh baked goods made in-house. If you’re getting traditional coffees like cortado/macchiato/cappuccino/americano, then you’re in the right place because they make them correctly. The lattes are fun too because they seasonally come out with new flavor offerings! Matcha latte is on point here too. The pastries are really well done, made fresh from scratch. Highlights for me being the cinnamon bun and the breakfast sammy. And just like the lattes - the baked goods seasonally change! There is a ton of seating for both individuals and groups of about 4-5 people. When the weather is right the garage doors open and also the patio seating is really nice and relaxing. The overall space is bright and open. Dog friendly. Couldn’t ask for more from a coffee shop!
For Keeps is one of those coffee shops where you feel good being in there and like you could hang out there all day or just swing by to pick up a coffee on your way to work! Love this place

1st time I went was great! ☺️ 2nd time (the next day), not so great. The Caucasian girl is a little bit chubby and was wearing like 3 gold necklaces, act like she don't want to work that shift. This was in the morning time. First I saw that she put my tea in a cup, and then realized it was to go. So she got to go cup with frustration and poured my tea in there, quite messy I might add. Then on my order I asked for extra honey. And I don't think I got it. What the polite voice, ask her is there extra honey in this? And seems like she got aggravated or something. But she got an attitude and said yes. And as she turned around looks like she shook her head or something. I'm not sure if she had a bad day or what, but I did not like that day in the cafe. Nor have I been back.

I love For Keeps. The ownership is amazing and the team there are on top of things and exceedingly kind and generous. The coffee is some of the best in the city and will only get better. They care deeply about being excellent. Check them out!

Phenomenal. Just simply phenomenal. I had the matcha latte iced with lavender and whatever the house blend is and it was literally phenomenal. They didn’t use a matcha concentrate from a bottle, they literally made it fresh, PROPERLY🙌🏻 I wish I could come here everyday for the matcha alone but I live in Hutto and was just passing through to make a trade with a friend. Please expand and bring For Keeps to Hutto!!!! My husband had 3 of the baked goods and rated those a 10/10!!!
