    Yolk Lover's Breakfast: Bacon, Eggs, Grits
    James R.

    The Toasted Yolk Cafe provides a unique breakfast experience in a modern, upscale environment. The menu included various breakfast/brunch staples, with unique twists personalized to this restaurant. Be prepared for a lengthy wait time unless you join the wait list in advance. Overall, we found the staff to be friendly and the food to be delicious. We would return to this location. P.S. The surrounding area is not as nice as the restaurant.

    Excellent hash casserole. Coming from L.A. our version is light & doesn't have extra stuff in it. These are very filling and yummy. Dennis was a nice server. The inside was super bright; greens my 2nd fave color.

    Hot Honey Chicken & Yolk Biscuit Sandwich

    Great food and fast service. We also recommend their vanilla lattes and sweet tea! The restaurant is usually pretty clean. I recommend getting on the wait list during the weekends.

    Fried banana peppers & dipping sauce are different & DELISH!

    The restaurant is bright, open & has a fun and friendly vibe. Their ingredients are fresh & presentation of their food is great! The Southwestern Bowl is one if my healthy faves & great when you don't want a "typical" breakfast. Their cocktail menu is creative and fun and the cold brew shot is a MUST try! It's like a cute little dessert with or after your meal. While the prices tend to be on the higher side (this is no Denny's), they are justified by the quality, fresh ingredients. The entire staff is warm, polite & friendly. You will leave with a smile, a full belly & possibly a to-go box. Highly recommend!

    Everything was great! Our waiter , Terry , was the best!! Our food was amazing! The pancakes were extra fluffy , the cheesy grits were the best and the hash brown casserole pushed us over the top! Highly recommend if you are in Waco to stop by here and w

    Hello I ordered breakfast sausage egg and cheese quesadillas with salsa. The taste of the quesadillas tasted good but very greasy. I mean greasy to where the grease is just sitting in a puddle of grease.NOT GOOD FOR ME!!!

    Definitely my favorite place in waco. It is one of the few restaurants that I go to and do not make a bunch of (or any changes) to the menu items. The food always tarts amazing. I have not had bad service yet even if the place it packed. I mostly come with my adult children here. The atmosphere is up beat and the noise level is manageable to have real conversations.

    Wonderful breakfast spot. Friendly staff. Quick service. Clean environment. 10/10 recommend for students, locals, and visitors.

    Deep in the heart of Waco!

    I ordered the shrimp and grits and loved them! Very tasty! The ambiance is nice and customer service was excellent. Definitely recommend and will be going back when visiting Waco again.

    We loved this spot. Waiter was great and checked on us often. Food was fresh and hot when it reached the table. Wait staff kept bumping into me or my chair as they turned around the corner we sat in which was annoying but overall really good and highly recommend.

    Double Decker omlette with Hash Brown Casserole
    Kevin W.

    I like finding a good breakfast place and this one has all the variety on the menu you would need. Everyone enjoyed their food but overall we weren't huge fans of the has brown casserole as it sorta defeats the goal of CRISPY hash brown. The ham in my scramble had a couple chunks of gristle which was unappealing. That said, the food was overall very good. My wife said her gluten free toast was great. They do get busy and you can join the waitlist right here on Yelp, but make sure you are nearby because the line moves quick. We joined 8th on the list but were seated in 4 minutes. Service was prompt and friendly.

The line…read morewas out the door, but moving fairly quickly, taking us about 10 minute from outside to the counter. They were controlling the line and crowds well. Magnolia Press is their house coffee shop serving up all the coffee house classic beverages and snacks. Beverages were all the basics with a few specialty drinks, both hot and cold. The food was standard breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Prices for everything were moderate, but expected. I went with an iced mocha and chocolate croissant, while my partner went with a breakfast croissant. The food came out a few minutes before the drink, so we munched on the goods while we waited for the coffee. The food was good and the drink was tasty. It hit the spot for sure! The flow can get a bit backed up depending on how busy the baristas are...and they were busy! We waited a longer time after ordering than we did in line to order, but neither wait was egregiously long. Once we got the coffee, we made our way outside to the courtyard. We passed the small, but cute dining room. The space is gorgeous, perfect coffee house and Magnolia vibes. Overall, great entry point to the market. Lovely vibes and decent coffee!

    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

Thrst specializes in carefully crafted lattes with the highest quality beans that's expertly roasted locally. It's also a small business, and if you follow my reviews, you know that I'm all about supporting small businesses as opposed to the large chains. The menu offers signature drinks such as their Cafe de Olla and Mexican Mocha. They also offer the more common drinks like latte, americano, cappuccino and teas. They also have delicious looking pastries! I wasn't sure what to order and the owner, Andreas, took the time to describe some of their signature drinks to me. I decided to get a medium Hot Café De Olla Latte, which is described as the perfect blend of espresso, piloncillo, cinnamon and oat milk. It was smooth, creamy and divine! I also ordered a cinnamon twist, and it was absolutely delicious! The interior is rather large, with a coffee bar and tables throughout. Seems like a great place to study or hang out with friends. Another great thing about this place is that they open early, like 6:30am on weekdays. Many of the other local coffee shops open later. The only drawback is the parking sitch. It seemed that many of the spots nearby were reserved for specific businesses. I didn't find any specifically for Thrst, so I had to park down the street and walk a little ways. Overall, this is a solid coffee shop and I highly recommend supporting this small business!
