Order the strawberry matcha! So yum. The breakfast sandwich was also delish. Loved the balsamic on it (I think it was balsamic). I don't see their menu online, which is a let peeve of mine. I do think our breakfast sandwich was forgotten because we waited 30-40 mins before going up to the counter and asking for it again. Though when it finally came out, we were offered a free pastry or partial refund. So, despite the wait, they were apologetic. read more

only one menu when we were in line ordering. had to share with other customer, it also lacked any important details about the drinks/food. I ordered a cold brew and it came out with no ice or straw, but I was told by a staffer that that's how they do things around here *AFTER* I had already ordered and paid for it. read more

Interesting coffee shop house in an abandoned elevator shaft. The coffee itself was just ok. The "barista" was very nice.

I wanted to love this place. The coffee is good taste wise but the drinks aren't made properly. We ordered 2 breves and the chick kept asking if we wanted water in it. From my knowledge, breves are half n half and espresso. Then she kept asking us if we wanted odd things in an iced latte. The breves came out, one being obviously heavier than the other. Cool building and coffee shop. Probably won't return just because we know the drinks aren't made right read more

Love this little place! The Coffee Shop portion is in an old Elevator. So cool! Small menu but very good. We had a regular Mocha and a Oat milk Mocha. Not too sweet and the coffee was delicious Love to find local places like this. Great find. read more

Best Coffee ever! delicious, well roasted and perfectly brewed coffee in a very cozy, unique and relaxed space. Don't missed the opportunity to enjoy yourself and savor the moment with a warm or cold cup of coffee. read more

Photos looked cool but when we walked in.... I'm was just an espresso machine and a small display case with three scones in a gift shop. I guess it's good for a quick grab and go? But we walked right out so can't speak to the coffee/scones. read more

I really wanted to like this place. However, once you get past the ooh and ahh of the barista pulling shots in an out of service elevator, the coffee is pretty average at best. I thought there would be more flavor options available for a latte, but that wasn't the case. It's a cute little place to snap pics for Instagram if that's your thing. For me, the McCafé I had the day before was more satisfying. read more

Great little coffee shop in an elevator! We had apple pie and a fig scone--amazing! The coffee machine was custom made for the place too--pretty impressive! read more

Super cute place! The staff was friendly and there are plenty of spots to sit and read or work. Also it's attached to a cute paper goods shop that is fun to browse! Their flourless peanut butter and chocolate cookie was YUMMY! read more

A friend and I stopped in after braving the rain at Magnolia Market and I'm so glad we did. The barista was so sweet. He answered all our questions about drinks we had never heard of, showed us the chocolate they use, and gave us a little back story about their products. I really wanted my go-to coffee order which is a cafe meil- a latte sweetened with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. It wasn't on the menu, but he said he makes them all the time and would do it! When our drinks were ready he even walked them over to the table. Then came back later to check on us and make sure our drinks were good. I thought that was such a nice, personal touch. And boy made a fine cafe meil!! If you're looking for a nice place to hang out in Waco, Brû is where it's at. read more

This place had such a cute and creative vibe! The guy who helped us out was so friendly and knowledgeable and had some great suggestions! I got the mango iced tea and loved it! There isn't much seating but it's a cute place! read more

I thought it was going to be pretentious but this place is so cool. You order from like an old elevator shaft!! So neat. The man working (Saturday may 11th) was so sweet and attentive. Let me smell all the teas I was thinking of trying!! Very helpful, would go back next time I am in Waco! read more

This is an excellent place to stop for a very good espresso made in an espresso machine straight from Italy! Extremely friendly staff and an awesome location! read more

Love the old-fashion feel! It's definitely a unique experience that doesn't lack in flavor. Great bang for the buck - check them out!!! Lovely coffee menu. read more

The definition of a hidden gem at the back of the building on the southwest corner of 6th and Franklin. The bar itself operates out of the original elevator shaft. Why is that important? There's one machine and one attendant, so your drink will not be rushed. Drop in and enjoy. read more

An average coffee shop that offers the bare essentials and attempts to pass it off as "Artisan." Coffee's are tiny, scalding hot, and nothing special. One barista in an elevator and the chairs have are uncomfortable. Prices are actually pretty good but if you don't like what you order or make a mistake don't expect any customer service. There are far better coffee places out there and even Starbucks is superior. Cool place to study though. read more

This is probably the nicest coffee shop to my taste. My wife and I just bumped into it by accident and ordered an Americano with a blueberry pie and we were not disappointed at all. Loved the coffee and the vibe of the building is very relic. Plus the coffee shop is inside the elevator of the building. Love it!! read more

Love this place! Staff is awesome, and helpful, coffee is incredible! And the environment, is delightful!!!

I would give 3.5 stars if yelp allowed a half. It's better than Starbucks if you like craft coffee; it's definitely better than stopping at another fast place. Really cute atmosphere, hidden, vintage style. I like the tall open windows. However, if you know craft coffee, it's a little bit of a let down. No black coffee. Consistency of my cortado was a foamy top with thin milk under. No mugs for here. No "breakfast" or pastries. Worth a stop, but I wouldn't expect to stay. I prob won't come again when I pass through town. read more

My boyfriend had a business meeting in Waco and I tagged along. After checking out magnolia market I went to find a coffee shop to get a drink and hangout until his meeting ended. I found BRU. It's a really cute place to hangout and have a coffee. As others have mentioned, the chairs aren't very comfortable for a coffee shop, but nothing awful. I got a cold brew and it was pretty good. The barista working was really friendly and he delivered my drink to the table I was sitting at after it was made. read more

Came here for tea and got one of the chai teas with almond milk. It was so good!!! Amazing quality and flavor. All of the teas are organic loose leaf. I also got a gluten free cookie with dark chocolate chips that was really tasty. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who likes tea! And the service was great too! Super friendly and answered all of my questions about the menu. read more

On the search for a great iced coffee near the Silos lead me to this place. The staff was super friendly listened to what I wanted and..."wow!" a perfect cup of iced coffee with just enough liquid sweetener to not over power the strong brew. Great job guy working this morning behind the counter! Definitely recommend and worth checking this place out...if your patient and in no hurry as you wait for the coffee barista takes their time to make you the perfect brew;-) read more

So I asked for a cafe miel. So few shops know what it is. Seth offered to look it up and make it for me! I'm psyched!! And it's delicious!!! They might put it on the menu now! Not a very comfortable place to sit unfortunately, hard small wooden chairs and all coffee/tea is to go, no mugs. Located in a furniture/gift store, in an office building and the barista is in an old timey elevator. Kinda cool! read more

There are some good specialty options - for example, I've gotten a really unique sipping chocolate here that was rich and delicious. However, for just grabbing a latte or getting coffee with a friend, you have better options in Waco. There's not as much seating or its own feel/atmosphere besides the gimmick of everything being prepared within an old elevator. I will say there are lots of tea options, but the coffee itself didn't blow me away. It's in a happening little area of downtown, though, which is nice! read more

Stopped in Waco for a break and decided to get some coffe. Their cold brew is wonderful! It's got that classy sour acidic taste and paired with just the right amount of sweet (faint but delectable). Loved it read more

This is my favourite coffee shop in Waco! Not only does it have good coffee, but it's quite and relaxing! And I have always had excellent service!!! The antique elevator shaft is a very classy piece!!! read more

They were out of cold brew for the day and their only milk option was whole milk. Prices were very reasonable, coffee was decent. The little shop itself was cute! read more

Obviously the coffee is great, but the tea might be even better. It's mixed by the owner's wife, and it is excellent. I recommend the earl grey! Wifi used to be spotty, but now it's great. Overall a very cool, unique place. read more

This place is amazing! But they never have whip cream. I come here all the time. The expresso is amazing, however when they consistently can not fix a menu item because of the lack of ingredients is ridiculous. Either the baristas are to lazy too make it or the manager doesn't care and does not buy the ingredients either way I hope they start caring and have it. read more

Went for a seasonal brunch and coffee. Eggs were poached to perfection, and yogurt was phenomenal. Good service. Slow on brunch day, but everything made fresh when you come in. And what am I in a hurry for? It's brunch! read more

I had a delicious refreshing mango white tea ! This place is so cute, there's a boutique that sells furniture, jewelry, and other trinkets, and Bru is in the back. It's priced a bit lower than dallas specialty coffee shops so that was nice for me. Nice quiet spot. read more

The best coffee shop in Waco! It's a hidden gem with the best baristas in town. The perfect study or meeting spot!

Honestly I really wish I could give this place a higher rating but after multiple experiences there, I've settled on this review. I'm a pretty simple guy when it comes to coffee; Americano's or just straight black coffee is usually what I roll with. I've been here multiple times and the coffee is just not good. As one of the other reviewers has mentioned, the coffee has tasted burned every single time I have gone. I don't know whether its the way the coffee is roasted, the way the barista makes it, or just something else but sadly I wouldn't recommend anyone getting coffee here. Waco has too many great options for coffee to not go elsewhere especially with Dichotomy just down the street. read more

Coffee was good, but took forever to arrive. A bit too much style over substance for my liking. Very basic, but very expensive, food options. I had a $10 wrap, which was nice enough, but for that price I expected more. read more

The old elevator shaft is too cool! The barista was very sweet and took the time to help me find exactly what I wanted.

BEST CAPPUCCINO I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Thank you so much for this delicious treat - great customer service! I will definitely be back!!!
