The Olive Branch
215 S 2nd St, Waco, TX
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Waco, The Olive Branch is a beloved independent spot that seamlessly transitions from breakfast through dinner, earning devoted regulars who swear by its consistently strong comfort food like brisket skillets and shrimp and grits. The warm, welcoming staff and happy hour specials (half-price starters and $5 wines) make it worth the occasional wait, especially if you're craving house-made biscuits with an impressive array of fruit spreads or those legendary Brussels sprouts.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
