A hidden gem! I used to pass by this place while driving around campus or walking around. I didn't think too much of it cause it was kind of just on the side. The first time I came here, my friend and I had a one-on-one and recommended this cute cafe. I ordered the Hungry Bear Meal with the Atlantic Wild Salmon with the Tomato Basil Soup(found out today that if I didn't want a drink, it'd be cheaper to just get those separate, math haha...). I ordered the same thing today and I've thought about this pretty often because it was so delicious! They have breakfast all day, and a huge selection of sandwiches, soups, sides, and honestly, anything else you can think of! They have some delicious and healthy options, and I was left with a beautiful and sweet message on my to-to bag! My only complaint would be that I wish I had came here earlier! Inside is super cute and seems very homey. The service here is incredible, you've got people here who have the best attitude and who are happy to serve you. 10/10 would definitely recommend! read more

Still visit every time I go to Waco, BLT is AMAZING!!! They have so many specialty items it's really hard to choose what you'll eat!

The food was slightly above average but expensive for what you get. The service was good, staff checking up at all times. However the AC wasnt working well so it was hot and stuffy inside. Has the vibe of an old town diner. Overall its alright, would choose elsewhere unless youre in a rush and near campus. read more

I go here at least once a month, if not more. And I love this place! Their sandwiches and soups are delicious. I've also had their salads and enjoy those as well. Hidden gem near campus! read more

The food is perfect college comfort food right in the heart of Baylor university. We went in the summer so the ambiance is very calm and even slow for being at peak lunch time. We were served promptly, the food was very fresh! If I was a student here I would get myself in trouble coming everyday! read more

This place was recommended by all my Baylor friends, and I have to say, this place does not disappoint. The food is served hot off the griddle! You really can't go wrong with any of their menu options (I had the Texas Steak Please burrito). I recommend going right when they open because they do get busy during the day. read more

The Mix Cafe - Burrito with hashbrowns - Salad Near Me - Waco, Texas

This is not your ordinary sandwich shop. This is a wonderful twist on what others put between 2 slices of bread! YUM!! It's difficult to choose only one so our Bear and her dad split theirs. Quesadilla are crazy good! I can't get enough of their Chicken Salad! The white bread (bun) is SO GOOD but our Bear said she likes the wheat even better!! Close to campus is an extra bonus. Can't beat The Mix Cafe! read more

The Mix Cafe Order at counter and they bring the food out to you. No frills, good price and good amount of food portions. Everything is served in paper trays and expenses are minimum to keep costs down. Ordered the complete Breakfast omelette with 4 items, sausage, ham, mushrooms and bacon along with hash browns. Was pretty good came out and was served with good service. Considering cost and quality of food very good win for the customer read more

The menu is overwhelming because there is a plethora of things you can get. Good service with great employees! I've never had a problem with any of the staff. This is a great spot for lunch with friends. They have a piano in there that students sometimes play on. If you're lucky, you can find it to be a great study environment. If you're a first timer, you can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches. They have a BBQ sandwich with Dr Pepper that's pretty good! read more

Amazing! I can't say enough how good this was. From the sandwich with what I think is homemade bread, to waffle fries with dip, and amazingly free fruit for November. A little on the pricey side but very worth it. read more

I did a search for "fast casual" on a recent trip to DFW and came across this place. I am absolutely obsessed with it now. We have happened to be driving through and this is my fourth time eating here in the last two weeks. Located adjacent to the Baylor campus, this place has such a fun vibe. You order at the counter, and then they fresh cook the food and bring it out to you. My favorites are the stuffed avocado. I've had it both with chicken salad and also with steak and blue cheese. Both were really good. Honestly, I've never gotten anything bad here yet. The place always seems to have a steady flow of customers. Many college students, professors, etc.. parking is right out front so that's a bonus. I've never had any trouble finding a spot. I get a sense a lot of people walk over here from campus. I am. read more

I'm not completely sure why this Cafe has such high reviews, everything here was pretty average. Yes, the freshness of the food was great.. But everything else was pretty meh. The sweet potato fries were really the only thing I liked from here! read more

this was my first time coming here and it was absolutely delicious!! I had the Brussel Sprout Kale Salad with Chicken, which was extra. I'm a huge fan of brussel sprouts so this was the best salad i've ever had. the proportion was great! there was enough food to keep me content, but not enough to where i feel super bloated. the salad didn't even need the dressing, the salad flavor was perfect by itself. i'm so glad i came here! i go to baylor so i'll definitely be coming here every chance i get. their menu is very diverse with a wide selection, so i cant wait to try everything else they serve. i definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for good food. read more

The Mix Cafe - Brussel Sprouts and Kale Salad (With Chicken which is Extra) - Salad Near Me - Waco, Texas

In Waco for Magnolia of course and wanted to grab a somewhat healthy late lunch and Yelp led us here. It was very good. There were a couple of outside tables and the weather was great but obviously not exactly lovely ambiance. I had the hot turkey avocado chipotle and it was very yummy. read more

The most overhyped staple in all of Waco. Food is mediocre at best. Think of it as a little bit better version of Panera, and Panera is basically airplane food. I would say though, the sweet potato fries are absolutely deli shoes. RIDICULOUSLY overpriced!! They are truly adhering to their Baylor student market. Not all of us drive bmws though. I have a Hyundai and my wallet still screams from one order at this place. Also the seats inside are sticky. read more

We all had different sandwiches that were so good - even my 7 year old ate some of mine, and she won't eat a lot of things!!

Great local spot just steps away from Baylor Campus. We had breakfast burritos and they were delicious. Place has a nice hip feel to it, with professors, students and their family sitting all in one room. I will certainly return. read more

food was surprisingly good for such an unassuming place. hidden right off Baylor campus. Took some family from Austin here and they were happy with the healthy and vegetarian options. the only negative was the lack of kids options our kid had a flatbread but I't didn't look like a pizza to him so what are you going to do? Kids. stars of the meal were the brisket sandwich. The chicken salad. And the Brussel sprouts. We will definitely be back. read more

We love The Mix! Reese is incredible and kind. She was helpful in the ordering process and always positive. Joyous. Compassionate. Disney Princess vibes. I mean she just made it incredible. Ask for her favorite sandwich and she will dance for that. I mean what is not to love. read more

Went back and got food to-go since I am not dining in these days, and while my avocado melt was delicious, the sweet potato fries were over salted and cooked unevenly. Still nice that it's close to campus, but food prices are high - $14 for a sandwich and average fries with a cup of water. read more

Excellent food but incredibly overpriced. They try very hard to please and the food does. I had a BLT on nice bread, bacon was mediocre, I've had a lot better, and a lovely tortilla soup. All would have been fine but not at $19.25 with a soda, add tax and a small tip and you have a $25 sandwich. Mostly college-age customers, they must have a big fellowship. When you charge more than Panera, you've got to know it's overpriced. read more

There weren't a lot of gluten free options and the cashier appeared annoyed when I asked if they had gluten free bread or pasta. I ordered chicken breast and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious. Though the chicken breast was well seasoned with Italian seasoning, I had to drown it in ketchup to mask the dryness. read more

What a great little find! On a road trip to Austin and searching YELP for a recommendation. I had the spinach, brussel sprout salad w chicken. So flavorful no dressing needed. A great "local find" and definitely worth getting off the highway for. read more

This place was pretty good. It wasn't quite as good as it looked like it would be and that's okay! I'm sure the people that love it, love it. I wanted a nice salad and I didn't quite get that, but we still enjoyed ourselves anyway! read more

Great salad options! Loved the steak and blue cheese as well as the chicken salad in avocado. Worth checking out.

The food was fresh, made to order & the staff was friendly! Andrew was at the cash register and took our order. We went with two of his recommendations & even an add on that he suggested. We had the Chicken Martina, Hot Avocado Turkey Chipotle Sandwich & the Cobb Salad. Homemade bread for the sandwiches. FABULOUS! Do not miss the sweet potato fries either. Highly recommend & in the center of Baylor University. read more

FAV PLACE IN ALL OF WACO!!!!!!!!!!! Best lunch cafe for salads And sandwiches! Literally the best

Fantastic little establishment in Waco very near Baylor. Tasty, filling, quick breakfast and lunch entrees and sandwiches. One of the better'cheap eats' if your near Baylor. Great for students who live near campus. Friendly staff! Highly recommend! read more

Very nice cafe! Staff is super sweet, and the service was top notch. Ordered a chicken pesto sandwich, tomato soup, and a salad. Everything was fresh, and authentic. The chicken was soft and moist, I was surprised! Great, quick lunch spot! read more

This is a great place for a bite and it is not too expensive and it is close by to Baylor. This place is like a dinner and they are quick to get your food out. I had to get Jesse's egg sandwich because of course it was named after me. It was really good, I got a meal and it came with sweet potato fries. We were kinda in a hurry and this place fit our needs for a place you can eat a meal in 25 minutes. read more

Stopped here on a whim, sandwiches were amazing and served on very good bread, sweet potato fries were awesome, I didn't really care for crab bisque though. Definitely recomend this place for brunch. read more

I love the mix cafe! Their food is great, friendly workers, and the food comes out quick! Have always had a great experience at this cafe!

Enjoyed sitting outside in our visit to Waco and ordered the chicken salad scoop, chicken pesto avocado grilled sandwich and sweet potato fries and love love love the food! Delightful staff, delicious food and fresh sandwiches and salad. Close proximity to Baylor and only 1.5 mi from the Silos - I'd definitely come back! read more

The Mix Cafe - Chicken salad scoop - Salad Near Me - Waco, Texas

Generous amount of parking, great location very close to Baylor campus, fairly edible food, almost never crowded I always get the breakfast wraps! I love the California or steak wrap. They are a little oily, but are just perfect to hold me over in the middle of the day for a light lunch. If I'm getting an actual meal, I get the sweet potato fries and am never unsatisfied (except they ran out of fries one day). Service is fine. Nothing amazing but usually pleasant banter with the cashier. Food comes out pretty quickly. I enjoy eating here and plan to continue stopping by for food! read more

This restaurant just opened and I have already eaten here 3 times. The food comes in perfect proportions, the desserts are indescribable, and the food is out of this world. The strawberry cake is addiction worthy. The sweet potato fries are fresh and the sandwiches are the perfect blend of comfort food and home cooking. read more

Had chicken pesto sandwich and it was good and very filling. The place was cozy with plenty of sitting both inside and out. I would definitely come again when I'm visiting my daughter at Baylor read more

Everything is good...no like literally everything. I could eat here everyday and the staff is so friendly too! Highly recommend the sweet potato fries!! read more

Best place to get food in waco!!! Everything on the menu is amazing and they have great healthy options!!!

What a waste. Waited 30 minutes for mediocre, and that's generous , food. Subway would have been better. Chef didn't really seem to care what the instructions said. He simply made the sandwiches like the menu stated and didn't pay attention to special instructions. Two of my kids didn't eat their sandwiches. If that is 4 1/2 stars then Waco has low expectations. read more

What a great health friendly place to eat. Husband and I are starting the new year off by doing whole30 (as close as we can) and we ate here with no problems. I had the chicken salad stuffed avocado and he had the Cobb salad. Highly recommend. read more
