Bru Artisan Coffee Works

Wonderful place! Very small, yet cozy. They are dog-friendly. You go in to order, and you may sit outside. ♥️ An expresso bar that also roasts their own beans, and has great tea choices including traditional & seasonal choices (summer peach is amazing). They also have hot & iced options for tea and coffee. Live music from time to time.

A unique espresso machine in a welcoming and friendly shop. The espresso counter is setup in the lobby and sitting area is in the store across. While googling for an espresso shop during a short trip to Waco, the local aspect stood out. Thankfully i was rewarded with a great espresso from a one of a kind custom made machine. I was also tempted to try the “Hot” chocolate truffles and after being in Texas for too long I thought they were “spicy hot” chocolate truffles but they actually were named for “hot chocolate” drink LOL. Still they were good after I got over my disappointment. Now I need to rush and get some Lammes Habanero Pecan Pralines to make up for the miss:-)

I’m always a fan of supporting excellent people who create world class products. That’s Brû. The ownership and staff are top tier and constantly working to improve the atmosphere and product. The atmosphere is cozy and diverse. Whether you’re working or grabbing coffee with a friend, I highly recommend this shop.

Usually not too busy (but is sometimes), but just an overall chill vibe to work or hang out. The menu is definitely not your typical Starbucks over-sweetened everything, but a more authentic, sophisticated menu with lots of tea options. They also have some scones and cookies and other small food items for sale. They share a space with Paper Crown, a super cute craft store that is great to go walk around in when you need a break or to shop in. Overall, I love this coffee shop for studying and its overall vibe!

My mom and I stop through Waco when driving across the country and we try a new coffee place every time. Bru didn’t disappoint!! Sarah (not sure if I spelled correctly) was so kind and knowledgeable, and made one of the best dirty chais I’ve had in a long time. I have an insane list of allergies and she helped me find 2 great drinks. I also got a honey latte with oat milk. My mom got the earl grey crème tea and loved that as well. Will definitely be back!!
