    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!

    A very sweet message

    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!

    Burrito with hashbrowns
    Josh C.

    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.

    Time for lunch

    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!

    Complete Breakfast

    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

    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!

    Brussel Sprouts and Kale Salad (With Chicken which is Extra)
    Celeste C.

    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.

    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.

    Found this gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading the menu and reviews. SO glad we…read moredid! It's off the beaten path which is nice because we were able to find parking. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!

I especially enjoyed how the herbed goat cheese mixed with the lemon aioli (aioli is garlic mayo so the garlic is redundant in the menu) and beef patty. That combo was deadly to me, oof Some nice cold coleslaw to compliment the hot burger was a nice mix. I still haven't forgotten how heavy their tomato soup is! So packed with flavor omg. Friendly + quick staff as always and gorgeous wooden seating.

    Amazing timing led us to Magnolia Table when they opened for dinner at 4 pm! We ordered the burrata…read moreand focaccia that tasted as if it came fresh from the oven somewhere in Italy. Served with a perfect burrata with green pesto that was most divine- fresh as can be. Mocktails are always my choice and there's a blackberry mocktail made fresh intensely flavored berries that's a wow. So being from Oklahoma my favorite meal is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. We split a plate and we were not sorry. The perfect little chicken gravy pitcher- piping hot- w a generous helping of sauce served two easily. For desert there's an extensive selection ( including strawberry shortcake) but we opted for just plain latte made impeccably. Congratulations. You've really made America's best restaurant imo! We loved it. Coming from NYC we are spoiled for great food. But you have a 5 star accomplishment in this place. Perfectly wonderful. A million thanks-- what a memorable meal!

    This was one of the worse dining experiences in awhile. I've been wanting to try this restaurant…read morefor a while and I got the chance on Thursday June 11th. Our server was ok it really was the food that left a bad taste for me. I started with the signature cocktail a lavender lemon drop Martini only to have the server tell me they don't have all the ingredients to make one of their signature seasonal cocktail drinks. Appetizers we had the burrata which was probably the best thing I ate. My guest ordered the Bavette steak frites with Mac n cheese and I ordered the crispy chicken plate. Their fryer went down and we're not able to make the crispy chicken plate so I settled for their burger. My guest received her steak first and tried cutting into it. It was dry, rubbery and chewy. I had to wait 10 minutes for my burger to show up and when I received it the burger was dry overly salty and hard to eat. My fries were also overly seasoned and hard to enjoy. Definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. On top of that they locked the gift shop door so you had to walk around to the front entrance if you were shopping in the gift shop. Service is a 3, food is 1 and experience a 1. 1 star

The Burger was good but the steak bowl was very disappointing. It was $19 but the portion was incredibly small, I think it was one of the most expensive items in the menu, if not the most and it was really small. I had to share my burger with my mom bc the portion was so small that she was hungry after eating it. Other than that, the service was great. Way too overpriced for what it was. We kind of regretted going, especially because so many people recommended us to go.

In particular the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts caught my eye, unfortunately the latter was sold out so I went with the sweet potato Both dishes I had were really good! The candied bacon paired really nicely with the creamy deviled egg, the hot sauce vinaigrette didn't add too much flavor, but honestly adding a significant amount of heat would've probably taken away from an already very tasty dish. The baked sweet potato on the other hand had a nice dose of heat from the Calabrian honey vinaigrette, the sweet heat combo worked really, I'm surprised I'd never come across a spicy sweet potato dish before, but I'll definitely have my eye out for it in the future Overall I had a very good experience and will definitely be back for future rest stop meals between Austin and Dallas!

Both were very good! Got the tonkatsu black ramen from Domo 1 it was heavy garlic but I personally liked that. Egg was a little harder than some other ramen eggs, but overall a good amount of food for the price. At CurryUp got the pad Thai with chicken - very good flavor. Not a huge serving size but plenty enough for 1 person. Overall the food hall is great - lots of options, students eating dinner so you can see what the like. Minor downside is parking - the lot was full when we came on a not-too-busy Sunday night, but we got street parking easily. Overall a great stop in Waco!
