For Keeps Coffee & Bakery

Amazing! I was passing through town and decided to try out this place. I have high standards when it comes to coffee, and they did not disappoint. They use Black & White Roasters, which is arguably one of the best roasters in the country. I got a drip and a pour over, both of which slapped. They have a huge seating area that I imagine is usually packed with studying college kids (I came during the summer), including some outdoor seating. Also, I'm a sucker for a thoughtfully designed bathroom. Way to go, For Keeps. Yall did good.

For Keeps is a keeper! This cozy and comforting coffee shop is the sweetest thing. It's nestled in the Waco residential area off Bosque Rd. It offers a variety of coffee, teas and baked goods that are mildly sweet to taste and packed with a lot of flavor. I met a lovely young lady named Lexi and she was so kind to offer suggestions since this was my first time visiting. I ordered the Honduras Pacas washed coffee with notes of brown sugar, Cranberry and citrus and a Cranberry scone drizzled in a orange icing. Mmmm, so delicious. The inside is largely accommodating with plenty of seating, a small shopping wall laced with rings, necklaces and bracelets to purchase. This place is warm and welcoming and I definitely will be returning, and bring friends to share in the experience of such a lovely place.

There is only a handful of places that I've left a 5 start review with, but this place definitely deserves it! Plenty of seating during the busy Sunday brunch crowd when I went in. This place is definitely a coffee connoisseurs dream. I ordered the Flight to drink my wife ordered the London Fog, and my cousin ordered the Caramel Macchiato. He was expecting an iced caramel latte (as most people would) but was served a traditional Macchiato! I loved every beverage on my "Flight" my wife's London Fog was the perfect balance when you think of what that should taste like. THEY ROAST THEIR OWN BEANS! Staff was super friendly, forgiving, and helpful. You can tell that the team starting from the top really care and take pride in what they do here at For Keeps.

The quality of coffee (fresh roasted in their own roaster next door) and the variety of delicious baked goods (including Gluten Free items) make this a for-sure stop in Waco. Austin, behind the counter, was super helpful and very patient with the 3 kids in our party. While this was our first time here, it will not be our last. Thank you, For Keeps.

This is probably the best shop in Waco for speciality coffee. I could be wrong but there are probably not many speciality coffee shops in Waco. Several pour over options. Enjoyed 2 pour overs with a breakfast sandwich that was pretty good. Didn’t seem like the barista were the most passionate about speciality coffee as some shops I’ve been too as they didn’t seem to want to explain the pour over menu. But it’s still pretty good. I would come back. Very busy place with students.
