    Menu with Spring 2026 Seasonal Drinks
    Sam B.

    This coffee shop has a lot of space to sit inside with plenty of chairs, tables, and a few booths. Parking seemed a bit limited in comparison, though I may have missed some of the extra parking. WiFi seemed good. The space is subdued with relaxing music and a simple, clean design in off-white to beige and brown tones. I had a seasonal Blackberry Vanilla Iced Latte and an Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese. The latte tasted like a cherry latte to me. It was good but could have used a little more espresso relative to the milk and ice. I'll have to try a different drink next time. They appear to have some high-quality offerings. The Everything Bagel was delicious and nicely cut and toasted, prepared like a sandwich with the cream cheese in the middle. They offer a variety of sweet or savory bagels, kolaches, and pastries. Overall, I would recommend this place and would come back again.

    We loved coming here for coffee and a light breakfast. This place was so clean, modern, and had ample seating options inside and outside. It was also really nice to see customers of all ages; some students and families were all enjoying coffees here and it was great to see. The coffee is great, bold, and delicious. We really enjoyed our bagels and schemear. Really fresh bagels and yummy cream cheese. Service was quick and easy. The little shop is beautiful. Parking can be difficult we did park next door since all the businesses were closed, but something to keep in mind.

    I decided to check out For Keeps Coffee after reading the many positive reviews left by previous patrons. Once you find a parking spot, you're welcomed by an inviting storefront with merchandise and pastries. I didn't try any baked goods with my coffee, but they're all baked on-site and looked amazing. The menu is pretty straight forward with a nice selection of coffee, tea, and food. I was impressed by the variety of syrup flavors. I didn't see any marked bottles, so I'm guessing they're also made in house. I My barista pleasantly answered a couple questions about the flavor pairings and made a recommendation of the honey lavender. Once I placed my order, it was made fairly quickly and was the perfect temperature. The lavender comes through strong, the honey is more subtle. Espresso beans weren't very strong, almost like a lighter roast was used. It's a tasty drink, not overly sweet nor bitter but might you might ask for a double shot if you're looking for a little more punch. Lastly, let's talk ambiance. The decor is minimalistic but unique in its own way. What the shop lacks in parking, it more than makes up for with seating, including a large wrap around patio that is pet-friendly. And if you're looking for a gift for the coffee lover in your life, there were plenty of merch options to choose from. For Keeps is a great spot for gathering to meet friends. It was kinda noisy when I was there, so probably not a place you wanna try and study if you're looking for quiet. Come for the coffee and pastries, stay to socialize and meet new friends.

    This place is just simply stunning! It's so Waco and lovely! I really enjoyed how spacious it is with so many seating options! I personally really quite loved the adorable wallpapered alcoves. The service was sweet and pretty quick. (Although I did go off season so there weren't as many college students) and the food and drinks were quite lovely! I ordered the everything bagel with cream cheese and a herbalitious latte! The bagel was so yummy! It was moist and didn't bother my gluten sensitivity surprisingly! I loved that it was a little bit salty aswell! Added that perfect finishing flavor. I do wish it came with a tad more crème cheese on it though. I ordered my latte iced and decaf, so I didn't get a chance to try out the true espresso. But the decaf brew was quite nice. Tasted like a light or medium roast which I personally prefer. The herb flavoring was so good and clearly fresh! As the herbs were sitting right in the counter! (Those were possibly for something else though haha) Although the flavoring was absolutely fabulous I do think a little too much was added as it just slightly overpowered the espresso. All together this is definitely a spot I will be revisiting! So fun to come with friends or by yourself to study. It's very peaceful and lovely.

    Delicious coffees and the ambiance is a still and modern vibe - perfect for any occasion to stop in. Enough seating to fit a lot of people. The food is delicious - i ordered an orange cinnamon roll - so so so good.

    Pistachio latte made with oat milk. YUM!

    From the first moment I walked in I was blown away by the cute design and feel good warmth I experienced. Baked goods were amazing and the coffee presentation and taste were top-notch. Love all the creativity in menu choices. The staff were very helpful with my many questions and seemed to know a lot about their craft! Definitely will return!!

    Carmel Latte

    Stopped here when visiting Waco! This has the most simple and fun vibe. I would be a regular if I lived closer for sure. Enjoyed a Carmel Latte which came with a piece of Carmel candy on top. Service was great.

    What a delightful and lovely coffeeshop! Visited a friend and she raved about For Keeps lattes. So, we stopped in this morning and she was right! The service was wonderful, our lattes were delicious, and there was plenty of space to sit and chat. I cannot wait to visit again!

    Very cute spot and super busy. The coffee was too milky for my taste, but they do have house-made syrups, which is a nice touch. The lemon pastry was just okay--beautiful, but missing something flavor-wise. The pastries overall looked good, though. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. Parking was a bit tricky, but it was a Sunday morning, so that's to be expected. Would consider giving it another shot!

    Another great coffee shop in town that is for the coffee drinker. Espresso shot was a bit sour though.

    This place is super cute (think boho plant vibes), and the coffee is fabulous. They make all their…read moresyrups in-house, and you can taste the quality. The service is great and friendly too. They have a few toys for kids and coloring sheets as well. I hope to be back and recommend it to anyone in the area.

    My cousin had posted about this awesome new coffee shop with the chillest vibe in Waco, so I just…read morehad to check it out! 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!
