I ordered the Affogato and a coffee. Let me tell you that was the best affogato I have ever had outside of Italy. The ice cream in there was soooo good. Coffee tasted great too. The seating area had this cozy little corner with comfy chairs like in a living room. Loved the ambiance. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

I was intrigued by their Huey Lewis drink, so I decided to give it a try. Much like an Arnold Palmer (half lemonade, half sweet tea) this drink was half lemonade, half coffee. I liked it! It felt like Arnold Palmer's grown up cousin - less sweet, with more bold espresso taste. The barista was very kind and answered all my questions. I would definitely return!

I've enjoyed coming here over the years! From coffee dates to study sessions to my first drink with…read morefriends on my 21st bday, I've had some great memories here! Some of their speciality lattes (like the Remember Me one fall) have been so delicious that I've braved the trek downtown, searching for a parking spot in the middle of my workday, just to get one as an afternoon pick-me-up. I also love the 1885 drink, which is Dr Pepper + espresso. It sounds crazy, but a Waco girl loves it. I will say, ever since the inside was re-painted as a weird, tentacle-esque, purple and orange mural, the ambiance has tanked. It used to feel like a peaceful, vibey spot, especially at night or during the holidays. Now the walls make my skin crawl a bit. Maybe some people love it--I usually hear the opposite But it's still worth going for the drinks!

I couldn't taste cinnamon so much til I was almost done. It's good coffee, but nothing special even with the descriptive notes for their drinks. It feels industrial inside.

Magnolia Press was our first stop and entry point to the Magnolia Market while in Waco. The line…read morewas out the door, but moving fairly quickly, taking us about 10 minute from outside to the counter. They were controlling the line and crowds well. Magnolia Press is their house coffee shop serving up all the coffee house classic beverages and snacks. Beverages were all the basics with a few specialty drinks, both hot and cold. The food was standard breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Prices for everything were moderate, but expected. I went with an iced mocha and chocolate croissant, while my partner went with a breakfast croissant. The food came out a few minutes before the drink, so we munched on the goods while we waited for the coffee. The food was good and the drink was tasty. It hit the spot for sure! The flow can get a bit backed up depending on how busy the baristas are...and they were busy! We waited a longer time after ordering than we did in line to order, but neither wait was egregiously long. Once we got the coffee, we made our way outside to the courtyard. We passed the small, but cute dining room. The space is gorgeous, perfect coffee house and Magnolia vibes. Overall, great entry point to the market. Lovely vibes and decent coffee!

Amazing timing led us to Magnolia Table when they opened for dinner at 4 pm! We ordered the burrata…read moreand focaccia that tasted as if it came fresh from the oven somewhere in Italy. Served with a perfect burrata with green pesto that was most divine- fresh as can be. Mocktails are always my choice and there's a blackberry mocktail made fresh intensely flavored berries that's a wow. So being from Oklahoma my favorite meal is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. We split a plate and we were not sorry. The perfect little chicken gravy pitcher- piping hot- w a generous helping of sauce served two easily. For desert there's an extensive selection ( including strawberry shortcake) but we opted for just plain latte made impeccably. Congratulations. You've really made America's best restaurant imo! We loved it. Coming from NYC we are spoiled for great food. But you have a 5 star accomplishment in this place. Perfectly wonderful. A million thanks-- what a memorable meal!

Decided yesterday that we were wanting to come for breakfast. We don't live far, but we checked…read moreonline the night before and saw there were still a ton of reservations available all morning, all weekend long. So we figured there would be no issue when we showed up at 7:45am on a Friday, with plenty of reservations available, as a party of 3. The hostess told us "we're not accepting walk-ins, because we have reservations booked." The reservations were all booked at 9:00pm last night, huh? Well I'm standing here in front of you, a paying customer, and I can glance around the entire restaurant and tell you it's not even half full. This is now the 2nd time we've been turned away by the hostess telling us they have no availability in a half-empty restaurant. We have eaten here several times before, and back then the food would be rated 5 stars. The restaurant is always freezing, tables are crammed next to each other, so not the best space for eating, but it is pretty and the food was good. Since you can't actually eat here anymore, that brings it down to 2 stars. We left, 6 minutes down the road is Black Bear Diner, which has excellent customer service and great food. I don't know if Magnolia is trying to pretend to drum up exclusivity still, or just keeping a bare bones staff based on number of reservations, but you're literally lighting money on fire keeping a restaurant open that doesn't accept paying, live customers right in front of you. Why are you paying two hostesses to stand there directing zero traffic except back out the door? No one else was waiting to be seated. A parking lot a quarter full. Empty tables all within sight. You paid them to stand there and send your income away, remember that. A whole empire that you built on designing welcoming spaces to host family and friends - turning people away at the door.

Thrst specializes in carefully crafted lattes with the highest quality beans that's expertly roasted locally. It's also a small business, and if you follow my reviews, you know that I'm all about supporting small businesses as opposed to the large chains. The menu offers signature drinks such as their Cafe de Olla and Mexican Mocha. They also offer the more common drinks like latte, americano, cappuccino and teas. They also have delicious looking pastries! I wasn't sure what to order and the owner, Andreas, took the time to describe some of their signature drinks to me. I decided to get a medium Hot Café De Olla Latte, which is described as the perfect blend of espresso, piloncillo, cinnamon and oat milk. It was smooth, creamy and divine! I also ordered a cinnamon twist, and it was absolutely delicious! The interior is rather large, with a coffee bar and tables throughout. Seems like a great place to study or hang out with friends. Another great thing about this place is that they open early, like 6:30am on weekdays. Many of the other local coffee shops open later. The only drawback is the parking sitch. It seemed that many of the spots nearby were reserved for specific businesses. I didn't find any specifically for Thrst, so I had to park down the street and walk a little ways. Overall, this is a solid coffee shop and I highly recommend supporting this small business!
