Pinewood Coffee Bar
2223 Austin Ave, Waco, TX
Crema's Take
“Pinewood Coffee Bar is where Waco goes to slow down, with vinyl spinning softly in the background and baristas who genuinely care about both your drink and your day. Their seasonal lattes and signature creative drinks showcase real skill with espresso, but what keeps people coming back is the whole vibe—a comfortable gathering spot with attentive service and enough space to settle in whether you're studying, meeting a friend, or just savoring a perfectly pulled shot.”

Favorite coffee spot in Waco. Great vibes, great coffee, great service, and awesome music played from vinyl.
Solid coffee shop with great music and atmosphere. I come here for their seasonal lattes periodically and to study/work occasionally. I also stop by after the gym at times for their chocolate milk (you HAVE to give it a try post workout, it’s amazing). The only constructive criticism I have is that the latte’s are not always consistent in taste, which is why I stopped going as often. But I’m also a very particular person with taste so I’m sure for most it wouldn’t bother them. Overall great cafe and there are a couple of baristas there that are very down to earth and nice to talk to!
Stopped in for some coffee on a Saturday afternoon. Had a good crowd there, but definitely not too packed and was very comfortable. The staff was attentive and friendly. The oat milk latte was delicious. Impulse bought the Huey Lewis cold brew on tap and was pleasantly surprised by that as well! Definitely recommend Pinewood if you’re looking for a nice place to hang out while enjoying a great cup of coffee.
Pinewood is a whole vibe ☕🌿 If you’re in Waco and love a good coffee spot, Pinewood Coffee Bar is the place. The drinks are legit—smooth, rich, and never too sweet. You can tell they take pride in their beans and brews. The space has this cozy, low-key charm with wood accents, comfy seating, and a super chill crowd. I saw folks studying, catching up, and just soaking in the good vibes. The outdoor courtyard? 10/10—peaceful, shaded, and perfect for slow mornings or afternoon breaks. Service was friendly, everything felt easy and intentional. It’s one of those places you wanna linger a bit longer. Definitely worth a stop if you’re rollin’ through Waco.
Beautiful location with lots of seating. Very popular especially on rainy days. The staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is excellent! In the morning before noon there’s extra seating in the building next-door before the bar opens. In the afternoon you can enjoy a brew over in the second building if you prefer.
