I also was glad I added cinnamon to it. To eat, I ordered the mac & cheese, but unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with it. It was way too cheesy and pretty plain. It might just be me though because I usually spice up my mac & cheese. Our server was really great and super nice, especially because we came towards the end of the night. Overall, I definitely think I'd visit this place again to try something else and to have that Chai again!

We had steak fingers ( really good, seriously) and 4 large strips- had to give one to my husband and take one to go, chicken strips, quesadillas, and Philly cheesesteak sandwich, fries and okra. They have the style fries I like, they seem to have a slight flour coat or something. Just enough crunch but not greasy or over fried. Finished it off with blackberry cobbler it was just as good as the rest of the meal. We will return next trip to town.

We love this place and it's definitely become our favorite breakfast spot when we come to Waco!…read moreWe're vegetarian and we're happy to share that they have a LOT of vegetarian options! Well, that's if you're egg-etarian. If you don't eat eggs, they still have options for you, just not as many. I LOVE their Eggs Florentine dish! So much so that I've eaten it every time we've been here. And I'm also happy to report that their coffee is delicious! Not all breakfast spots have both good food AND good coffee, so this is definitely a plus. The only downsides are as follows: 1. They are ALWAYS packed on the weekends! So expect to wait, even if it's just two of you. 2. The service hasn't been very great. I get that they're busy, but the staff shouldn't be so overloaded that they can't properly take care of their tables... However, the last time we were here I noticed that our server wasn't very attentive to us, yet she was VERY attentive to her other tables... Not cool. The continued not great service is the reason I'm giving a 4-star rating because otherwise everything else is top notch.

HORRIBLE food! Horrible customer service from the owner!…read more The owner was so rude and dismissive! I had an issue with my food not looking or tasting good. He told me that there is nothing wrong with the food and his bacon always looks like that and no one has complained. He told me that if he remade the food it would look the same. So I asked for a refund of my food and tip. He gave me racist vibes..

( vegan coffee cake !) BEST vegan cold biscuit I've ever had ! Not kidding , herby savory and all the things you want a biscuit to be except ours was COLD .. The only con here is that line , not enough staff for this kinda rush and there was NO dedicated staff member to take orders . You're supposed to order , seated , etc etc . However the gal was doing 100 things so could only come to front to take an order about once every 10 min which was wild . After standing there for what felt like forever in line I finally realized to-go orders had priority so I placed my order online on my phone in line ;) . Boom order up faster than that line and wait would have taken . Bummer we couldn't sit inside the restaurant . Definitely a must try but make sure to order ahead of time .

Our server, Sara, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. The hosts were friendly and genuinely seemed to care about making guests feel welcome something we didn't experience at Magnolia Table Cafe. Don't waste your money going somewhere just because of its name. If you want an outstanding breakfast with exceptional service, come to The Toasted Yolk Cafe. You'll leave with a full stomach and a smile!

My family and I had a very disappointing experience at The Toasted Yolk in Waco. We waited nearly…read moretwo hours for our food with very little communication from the staff. I finally asked our waiter for an update, and he told us our order was still three tickets behind. At that point, we decided enough was enough and asked to cancel our food. To the staff's credit, we only paid for our drinks, but spending two hours waiting and leaving without ever eating is unacceptable. I understand restaurants get busy and mistakes happen, but regular updates and better communication would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we won't be returning.

This visit was for breakfast, and the amount of options made made it difficult to choose. Enter our waitress, Alli, who helped us through that part and took great care of us while we were there. She was very knowledgeable of the menu, friendly & witty without ever being obtrusive. And I could hear that she was the same with each of the tables near us. This review and 5 Star rating are for Alli who I think must surely be the best server in Waco.

We dropped in to Black Bear before going to the movies night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed…read morewith the level of service and quality of this fairly new Waco restaurant. I reviewed BBD a year ago for the first time after their initial opening and gave them high marks. Like so many places, though, BBD has not maintained the quality of their grand opening. My wife's broccoli and cheese soup was obviously a mix with very little broccoli, very little cheese, and bland. The tomatoes on my house salad were bad probably old. The corn muffins we received were cold and dense and probably straight from the cooler. Our waitress brought our food then didn't come back until we flagged her down to get our check. She was covering about 5 tables and spent most of her time in the kitchen. A runner brought our food out. It seems that Black Bear is going through that inevitable drop in quality that comes with an inability to sustain continuity in their kitchen and wait staff. Hopefully they will work through this problem and return to the quality we are have come to expect over the last year.

Also, the table top was sticky, and it was black paint that had bubbled up. It was nasty.
