    House Latte
    Hannah F.

    We met family here while visiting from out of town. My husband and I both chose the house latte but I had mine hot and he had his iced. I liked mine but my husband didn't like his. The coffee was great but there wasn't a lot of the house syrup flavor at all. The staff was very friendly and it's a beautiful location to just hang out. The outdoor patio is beautiful and had a really nice breeze despite the hot weather. I'd be willing to give this place another shot next time we're in town.

    While driving up for a work trip a coworker suggested I come thru to Pinewood Coffee Bar for a coffee for the road when he found out I was planning to stop in Waco. I was super happy with his suggestion as this coffee shop is super quaint with their chill vibes and the music playing throughout the place. Upon walking in I was not surprised to see almost every seat was taken by studying students and remote workers. This is definitely a nice spot to post up and get some work done. The baristas were super welcoming and gave me enough time to figure out what I wanted to order. I opted for a cold brew and requested to add CBD to my drink. I found out they do have CBD sparkling waters and COULD mix it with my cold brew but I opted to just take a sparkling water with me instead and have it later. I was glad I did too as I was able to take off the edge and stressors of driving through to my destination. The atrium area outside is just super charming. It was a little cold to be sitting outside on the day I visited but there were people out there enjoying the fresh air and doing their thing. Next time I am in the area I will definitely come through again as this spot was just the bees knees.

    Great customer service, good vibes and strong coffee. Too many students flood this place though. If you stay longer than 2 hours, please purchase more than one beverage!

    Pinewood is a Waco staple - and I make it a point to visit every time I'm back in town. This was my go-to coffee shop when I was at Baylor - and it's comforting to know that I can walk in and grab a glass of cold brew that's just as delicious as it was when I was in school. Locally-roasted coffee beans make a difference, and you can truly taste that difference here. This is a great place to study or work remotely: the Wi-Fi is fast, and the caffeine is readily available. The atmosphere is warm and familiar - even if it's your first time stopping in. I've always had excellent service, and have often asked the baristas for their recommendations. If you're planning to sit outdoors, I would definitely recommend a set of headphones or earbuds, as it can get a little loud around lunchtime. I have yet to experience their Public House - but it's definitely something I hope to get around to soon.

    great interior and ambiance. inside had a really earthy, granola vibe with bar space, booths, plants, and records all around. the outdoor patio was also such a sweet space. the menu is really simple and easy to understand. they have seasonal and rotating syrups that are fun flavor combinations. coffee was pretty good. it wasn't the most flavorful latte, but i did get oat milk so that may have masked the syrup.

    Pinewood is a cool spot. They've got two house-made syrup options, and I was all about the seasonal maple rosemary--it was fantastic! The coffee is just the right balance--rich and flavorful, with no milkiness, which is a big win for me. The staff was genuinely sweet, and the whole atmosphere felt really retro and cozy - stranger things vibes in the best way. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

    Really enjoyed working out of Pinewood Coffee Bar during my Waco trip. The cortado I ordered was great, and there was ample indoor/outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and doesn't mind if you post up for a while. There wasn't any food, but there was a food truck that I ordered from for lunch before heading home. The music selection here was great, they take their vinyl collection seriously. Would have liked it to be a little quieter, but I just popped over to the tables outside for meetings. All in all, this was the hippest stop I made in the area (by far). I'd consider it a must visit in Waco!

    Why wasn't this here when I was at Baylor?! Such a great study/work spot with lots of good places to sit/plug in. And the coffee was fantastic! I had an oat milk cortado and my husband had an americano. Both were delicious and the barista that took our order was kind. Highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting but expect a decent crowd of students.

    Great coffee and vibes!

    A gem of a coffee shop. The baristas were very friendly and helpful when I asked for bean recs for espresso. I got a bag, and one of them kindly grinded some of it for me after I explained I was still waiting on my home grinder to arrive. I enjoyed some coffee while reading a book in one of the nooks, and the amount of natural light made it very cozy. There is plenty of space both inside and outside, and there is a good selection of beans for whatever you may need.

    Super warm and inviting atmosphere, workers were very friendly. A super cute place to gather with friends to drink some coffee, I wouldn't recommend studying there though just because it's kind of loud.

    Excellent coffee house in neighborhood south of downtown. The coffee is carefully crafted and superb. Loved the retro LP based music! Lots of great indoor and outdoor seating; easy street and lot parking.

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!

We were greeted by the friendly hostess who seated us promptly since we had reservations. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered the farm breakfast. We ordered the kids breakfast for our 3 year old which came with pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. We also ordered a side of biscuits with strawberry jam. We got our food hot and made fresh to order. The croissant sandwich was filling and delicious. The croissant was super fluffy and light. Everything was perfect!!! Our son told us that he loved his pancakes. Our waiter came by frequently to check on us and make sure everything was made to our liking. 10/10 recommend for their high quality service and food. We will be sure to continue to keep coming back again and again whenever we're in Waco.

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!
