The Brasserie
701 Washington Ave, Waco, TX
Crema's Take
“This spacious, beautifully appointed Waco spot channels French brasserie charm with a distinctly Texan twist, offering a sophisticated setting for lingering conversations over traditional drinks and light fare. While service can be inconsistent, the atmospheric outdoor seating and noteworthy dishes like their acclaimed Smashburger keep visitors returning, making it an ideal destination for unhurried meetups and special occasions when everything clicks.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
