Place is huge, with ample space for parking and inside too, it's bright and cozy, staff was friendly, saw some yummy baked goods too, but all I needed was a good cappuccino, but as there cappuccino was 8oz, I wanted 6oz, went with Cortado, they served with a sparkling water, on this wooden tray, as soon I saw my drink I knew I would love it, and I did, it was perfect, just perfect. Definitely check this place out, if you're picky about your coffee and you know about your coffee, this is the place.

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!

Coffee used for cold brew is quite sour, so if you like a sour coffee you will like this. Sour coffee isn't my preference so it was a miss for me. As for service, I asked for oat milk in my cold brew, but when they call me up there wasn't any in the drink. I asked them about that, and they added the smallest splash. After a few sips I went to the counter to ask for some extra in a small cup to add to the drink, and the batista said she would have to charge me! I reminded her they initially messed up the order and she begrudgingly agreed and gave me some extra. Ultimately, I got what I needed but I didn't appreciate being potentially charged for a couple of tablespoons of something I had already paid for. On a separate note, the ceiling is dusty, and the AC intake is positively caked in dust! Makes me wonder what other maintenance issues there might be that aren't visible

I come to Waco to see my beloved grandmother who is almost 97 and has a more active social life than you and I combined. I digress... Here, I can find parking and WiFi and pay for a breakfast burrito and waters/Cokes whilst I loiter and work remotely. The people are friendly, the renovated Whataburger is a vibe, I like the coffees here with much less sizzurp. Dear Management: please consider partnering with someone locally to offer fresh juice. Thanks for being my place to work when I'm in town!

I'm a little picky and do not like oat milk in my latte. This place is super cute and retro. They have plenty of parking outside and even have a drive-thru. Since we were traveling with two littles, we opted to use the drive-thru. The employees were super sweet and the service was speedy. The prices are pretty good and the espresso is really good quality. I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area. Check them out!

We had wonderful breakfast tacos, that were served hot and quick. The cappuccino was smooth with no acid finish to it, which I really like. My partner's cafe mocha was a nice balance of chocolate and coffee, which is his preference. There were several people there having coffee or breakfast. Some were deep in conversation while others were working on their computers. It is a quiet place for being such an open space. My partner and I were able to have a conversation without having to shout at each other.

The iced cardamom vanilla latte was made with oat milk; it was alright nothing spectacular. Although the syrup was unique and not overly sweet. The breakfast hash with scrambled eggs added was decent and seasoned well from the chimichurri. I wish the onions were cooked a little bit longer or the first couple layers of an onion weren't used as that's what it tasted like -- harder to chew/extra crunchy. Personally, the breakfast hash was elevated with the addition of Valentina hot sauce. Also something to note, definitely wish the cafe had other meat alternatives options like turkey bacon/sausage or chicken sausage as I don't eat pork so my options from the menu was limited. However overall, great experience and would dine here again if I'm ever back in Waco.
