Well this place was disappointing. All of their food is overpriced for the quality and portions of their food. The salads are basically type of leafy greens unless you order a kale salad then they'll throw in some kale, but only the topping change a little bit. The stuffed avocados are something I could easily make in my own kitchen and have before. Refills for coffee will cost ya and they were almost cocky about how good it was because it was french press. It was really just alright. Panera or Newk's will be a more satisfying experience. read more

Cute place right on Baylor campus. Recycled tables and chairs outside. We each had the avocado stuffed with chicken salad which was good but a bit messy to eat. Side of fruit was ripe and delicious. Loved the roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus as our sides. Nice, open, grassy space next door to walk the dogs. read more

Came for dinner, very good. I had the avocado Chicken sandwich for $6.25. It was fresh and well prepared. I also had the soup of the day (French onion) for $3.00 and it was alright. Good food, good ambiance, good price. Worth a visit! read more

Imagine Food for Thought, but better. I've never reviewed anything on yelp before, but they deserve it. Everything is super fresh and very reasonably priced. read more

The Mix offers a ton of options- breakfast all day, salads, pastas, stuffed avocado, grilled items, sandwiches, grilled cheese, and much more!! I love it here because it's in walking distance from where I live, and the staff is very friendly. You order at the counter and they will bring it to you when you are seated. It's open on Sundays, so good for lunch after church! From what I've heard, the chicken/avocado sandwich is amazing! read more

The Mix Cafe - Salad Near Me - Waco, Texas

Stopped by this unassuming place on the Baylor campus and was blown away. My hubs had the prime rib sandwich and ate every single bite. He said it was so good! I had a sandwich with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, and herbed cream cheese spread. OH MY! Delicious!! The flavors were perfectly married for a delectable sandwich. We also shared an order of perfectly seasoned waffle fries. Everything was great, even the iced tea. The staff was super friendly and helpful. So glad we stopped at this little cafe. read more

I'm not sure why this place has a 4.5 stars but definitely doesn't deserve it. I had the veggie quesadilla and it was way greasy with so flavor at all. I got some fries that were cold at 11 am. read more

Stones throw from BU campus and great consistent food. Ate here twice in two days for lunch during NSO. Excellent both times. Second visit we dined Al fresco because we had a dog and they brought out a water bowl for my pup! Super friendly and helpful employees. read more

This place is becoming a Baylor staple. I've eaten here 4 or 5 times, and it's always been good. The following are very good to great: steak quesadilla, Jesse's egg sandwich, Turkey avocado chipotle, the shrimp bisque, and several of the salads. Prices are good, and I REALLY like coming here. The guacamole is ok, chips were a little stale, but the sweet potato fries were great. I'll be back. read more

The Mix Cafe - Chicken martina, sweet potato fries, and turkey avocado chipotle - Salad Near Me - Waco, Texas

The grilled chicken pesto sandwich and the Kelsey's chicken avocado sandwich are very good! This local restaurant is the place to go if you're looking for good food and service. I recommend trying the fries also. read more

Fresh, good food. Stuffed avocado with chicken salad, spinach and 'lots of fruit on the side was very filling. Friends all enjoyed their food also. So refreshing to find locally owned good old fashioned sandwich+ shop. read more

This is the kind of mom and pop place people search everywhere for. The owner is always friendly, the food is incredible. They make their own bread, which has a sweet note to it. People love their stuffed chicken avocado and their salads - they have tons of healthy options. Sandwiches are incredible - favorites are the avocado chicken, pesto chicken, and turkey chipotle. The quesadillas are good too. The vibe is charmingly quaint. As a student, I eat here probably twice a week at least and I will miss it so much when I graduate. read more

Great find while passing through town. Visually, I wasn't excited about their house made buns but what a surprise! Really good. The turkey avocado spicy melt (can't recall the name) had great flavor. Staff was very sweet in accommodating a plain sandwich not offered on the menu for my child. Will definitely stop again next time we're in Waco. read more

Not just for shopping as it's category indicates, The Mix is open for lunch and can be reserved for dinner. I had dinner here with a large group (20+) and the food was excellent. Our menu offered a choice between fish and chicken. I had the fish which was well cooked, flaky and tender. Served with tasty wild rice and crisp green beans. All nicely presented and preceded by a salad of mixed greens tossed with pecans, cranberries, and feta cheese with a vinaigrette dressing. We had 5 choices for dessert - all were awesome. I chose "The Beast" a dense, rich flour-less chocolate cake that was superb. All of us enjoyed the meal. The service was good despite our tight quarters. I want to go back and try their lunch menu. Shopping selection of lovely home decor, jewelry, baby items, and clothing. Very nice. read more

First visit was awesome. Love this Latin flair with American twist. Or the other way around? Fresh and hot. Worth the find off the interstate. read more

I loved this place! Tucked away in a corner near campus. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The price was also right. We will be back again. read more

The Mix Cafe has a fantastic assortment of great food. The staff is pleasant and remembers you when you come back. Place is hoppin' right now because Baylor is back to school. You definitely need to pop in because you will become a repeat customer to this local diner. read more

Following Yelp suggestions we ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. Both we excellent, very fresh and the tastes were amazing! The order of sweet potato fries was enough to share between two people when each order an entree. I would go back again just for the bread the sandwich was on, it had an actual flavor that really added to the sandwich. The avocado added an extra creaminess to the sandwich that was really nice. Though the inside was small, it has a cute cafe feel and since it is open to the kitchen you can watch your food being made and know that it is truly made to order. The staff are very nice as well and happy to give suggestions about orders. I am a first-year student at Baylor and love the location, close enough to campus that I could walk there. Because of the small size, be conscious of when you go or plan enough time if you go during a rush hour. I can imagine that it would get busy. I will definitely be going back! read more

This place is pretty great. Best pulled pork in town!!!! The food is always good. But they didn't have the lobster bisque like they were advertised to :( read more

Best sandwiches in town. Hands down. Get the prime rib piled high, the chicken pesto, o true Dr Pepper pulled pork. Amazing. read more

Was sitting here thinking about how much I missed the mix so I decided to review it! It's always fresh, the sweet tea is great, and the pulled pork and quesadillas(the two things I usually get) are always flavorful and large portions. As a bonus it's in a nice, relaxing environment that i like to study at! read more

Favorite sandwiches in Waco! The chicken Martina, tomato soup, and and the sweet potato fries are my favorite.

Great place! The selections are unique. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff was cheery and friendly. We will go again next time we are passing through Waco. read more

I had the 3 cheese avocado grilled cheese. It was TO DIE FOR. I never knew that something so simple could be so amazing. I had a side of fruit with it and their fruit is so fresh and yummy. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone! read more

The wait was a little questionable. A group of friends and I ordered back to back, but our food came out very staggered. It took probably about 25 minutes for all of our food to come out. I didn't entirely enjoy the pesto quesadilla, I couldn't really taste the pesto. My friends all loved their meals though! Also, the tomato basil soup is not vegetarian which is a little odd so if you're a vegetarian steer clear from the tomato basil soup! The ambiance is nice but the front of the restaurant gets a little smoky as the kitchen is open. read more

5 out of 5 Bear Paws...2 blocks away, almost like eating from my own kitchen but better... at first I thought it was a coffee bar/pastries, boy was I wrong. Please check out the menu and times they are open, you won't regret one moment. If you do...come see me three blocks down...I'll be waiting...Grrr! read more

Took me a while to actually come here but I'm glad I did. The sandwich I ordered was Amazing and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful as well. Great food all around. Very fresh and made to order. Would recommend to a friend. read more

The Mix Cafe - Kelceys chicken - Salad Near Me - Waco, Texas

My favorite cafe in Waco. However, it's a little pricey for a college student - about 3 dollars just for a side of sweet potatoes fries. But, GREAT speedy service! Get the Chicken Martina! The bun is delicious. read more

We tried this restaurant for breakfast while passing through Waco and were disappointed. We both ordered an omlet one with fruit as a side and one with hash browns. The hash browns were soggy and tastless and the fruit far past its prime. Both omelets appeared to have been made by completely cooking the eggs and then dumping the other ingredients in as an afterthought. read more

Love the Mix Cafe! Great location near Baylor campus, and it's never crowded. My favorites here are their steak quesadillas and sweet potato fries. I also enjoyed their grilled chicken pesto sandwich and chicken pepper pineapple sandwich. Portion sizes can be a tad small (although a full quesadilla filled me up for $8). I'd go here over Panera, McAlister's, or Newk's any day. read more

I really enjoyed my lunch at a The Mix. The owner was very nice and offered some complimentary tea while I shopped. This place is a nice addition to Waco. I can't wait to go back and try it for dinner. Somebody there knows how to cook! read more

Cute little place food is pretty good depending on what you get. We got a salad and a sandwich with sweet potato fries. The salad and fries were great the sandwich however had some burnt bread and all the cream cheese was in one spot. Also not a great if you have allergies. I told them of my VERY common allergies and I got "well you shoulda eaten at home" followed by a shrug and "we can't make promises there's a lot in the back." I also overheard them complaining about a customer amongst themselves at the front counter when no one was there. They probably didn't think people could hear them. It's also very Smokey in the restaurant from the grill. But overall not terrible for a college town. read more

I go to The Mix at least once a week. I always have great service and great food. I love the grilled chicken avocado sandwich with pesto. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean and you can see the kitchen is as well. They also offer to go options which is great to get between classes. Sweet potato fries are great, but I'm still confused why they try to give me ranch with them every time. I've never had a bad meal here and would recommend it to anyone in Waco. read more

I'm a Baylor alum frequently in town a few times a year for appointments or events, and I finally made it around to Mix Cafe for the first time last week! I was impressed with the menu, and the meal I had was excellent for the price (and I had enough for leftovers for dinner, always a plus for a broke grad student sitting on Baylor loans and more haha). Would definitely recommend!!! read more

Great price for lunch. $8.50 for soup half sandwich or salad combination. Soup won't leave you full however the sandwich is definitely loaded and rich in taste. Everything is very fresh and has quality flavor to it. Great for lunch read more

Every time I come the lady working at the cashier is rude, seems as if she doesn't want to be there, not approachable, and unwelcoming. Food is good but they obviously need new employees...maybe it's family owned. read more

The Mix Cafe has fresh, unique, and delicious food. Great lunch spot. Everything I've had is great. Service is quick and since the expansion there is more seating, which is nice. Would recommend for a healthier lunch spot. read more
