BRÛ Artisan Coffee Works
800 Austin Ave, Waco, TX
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a historic Waco space with an unconventional layout that's part of its charm, BRÛ Artisan Coffee Works excels at crafting thoughtfully executed espresso drinks while serving genuinely impressive brunch fare—think vegetarian omelets and standout sandwiches that elevate a coffee run into a full meal. The atmosphere strikes that rare balance of being both a serious coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming spot to linger, with a talented barista team that takes real care with custom orders and makes you feel at home even when navigating the quirky hallway-located counter.”

I actually don’t know how this place has so many good reviews. For as busy as this place was NOT it took so long to get our drinks, and watched multiple other patrons waiting, getting a wrong order, or forgotten about completely. They simply are not staffed for the menu they put out. Nothing against the employees, they were clearly stressed and understaffed, more so a negative for the owners for not setting up their employees for success. I’m sure the food is good but a 30 minute wait for tea is crazy
Bru Artisan Coffee Works has a wonderful atmosphere and truly outstanding service. The staff were phenomenal, and we loved the openness and feel of the new location — it’s a welcoming, thoughtfully designed space. The coffee wasn’t quite to my personal taste this visit, but that’s likely just preference and not a reflection of quality. I really appreciate that they roast their own coffee, and I’d absolutely recommend trying them out. I would definitely give them another visit.
The food was so dang 🔥🔥. My wife and I both enjoyed it. I liked having healthy options for breakfast, and the vegetarian omelet with a side salad and potatoes was a great way to start the day. My wife reallly enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. The coffee is very good and it’s my new go to spot. Awesome atmosphere too!
This unique little brunch spot was the best find! Don’t let the historic/ multi-use space fool you from the outside. This place is a must visit. I got the STORIES Sunrise Sandwich with a side of potatoes. Great buttered sourdough, house made pickles, and super cool purple potatoes. The iced Honey Vanilla Latte was delicious and well crafted. The service was excellent for even our group of 10.
Took us a minute to figure out the barista was in the hallway but it was worth it! She did a wonderful job meeting our requests for our orders and was so kind! The space is a great, quiet spot to grab a seat and chill for a bit.
