Thrst Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Waco

Usually have a good experience here and always have great drinks but this morning had an awkward rude experience with the girl employee. We were told the manzanita cafe never existed even when we explained we had ordered it last week and saw it in the store’s Instagram but she claimed you guys have never had it. We were also trying to ask if the store’s number had changed because every time we call we never get an answer so we curious if we maybe call during the store’s busy hours or if the store has a new number and we were told “well the phone’s right there” by the same employee. I’ll probably only go when the other girl is there, I’m not sure what her name is but she’s always nice when I go compared to this girl 😅 Every employee has been nice so far so I don’t know if this was her first day or if she was just having a bad morning lol I understand if you guys are too busy to answer the phone just wanted to ask which hours were best to call if we have any questions because I know some store’s have certain hours were they get a big rush like lunch time. We were trying to ask if doing call in orders were acceptable because some menu items aren’t on...

Lovely place. Nice employee. Beautiful space.

Buuuuuut.... NOT covid safe, and honestly disappointing on the thoughtfulness of personal safety in regards to food handling.

Pastries are self serve, baskets are reusable with no liners available. Gloves were set out, but the only thing we were offered to place our food in to go was a shopping bag that the employee put his hand into to open it up. We ended up having to toss them due to safety concerns. (They did also look like they had been picked over and had been sitting out for awhile).

The coffee was good, but had texture. It took some getting used to, but the flavor was really nice!

I feel like normal people would really enjoy this place. Our experience was just ours, and we have a lot going on. Hopefully when the pandemic is a little more under control, we can visit again, and earlier in the day for fresher items, more variety, and come prepared with our own container to take...

Walking into Thrst Coffee is like stepping into a smooth saxophone solo—warm, inviting, and brimming with character. Their crafted drinks hit all the right notes, but the Café de Olla (a soulful Mexican latte) and the Hinamom Latte (honey, cinnamon, cardamom perfection) are the true stars of the setlist. You won’t find anything like that elsewhere in town.

With smooth jazz in the background, a cozy setup for group hangs or intimate one-on-one chats, Thrst is like the perfect bridge in a melody where everything just clicks. Whether you’re curious about drink features or just chatting, conversing with the owner adds a personal harmony to the experience.

Bonus: They’re available for private events after hours, complete with an optional barista to keep the coffee flowing. So if you need a jazzy backdrop for your soirée, this is the spot.

Thrst Coffee isn’t just a café; it’s a vibe, a groove, a place you’ll want to...
