For Keeps Coffee & Bakery

UPDATE: Unfortunately this place struggles with consistency. I went in and asked for a dirty chai---which I do pretty much every time. I got back the right drink, but at a stunningly poor quality. I didn't get a picture, but the milk texture was totally flat and not at all what's to be expected from a latte. So I was asked if they'd do a remake since the drink was in excess of $7 (!). The attached pic of the drink is the *remake*; not the original screw up. That isn't cool. Is it really too much to ask that a latte is competently steamed at what's supposed to be a high-end coffee shop? Did they even attempt to poor it or did the milk just get dumped into the cup? My *remade* drink is somehow worse than the original one that I got. And this isn't to mention the fact that whoever was behind the bar was clearly disinterested when I originally asked about the remake.

OLD REVIEW: Interior-wise, this is the best coffee shop in Waco and it isn't particularly close. Seriously, its spacious and has tons of seating; its bright and open, making it suitable for working or chatting with friends. The espresso drinks are great and are perhaps just better than their competitors in town. And (if you care) the internet speed is better than all of their competitors as well. Will definitely be back!

Only two very small complaints: they close a little earlier than some of the other coffee joints around (though this may change), and the music. The latter is a bit too loud and rumbly and to be frank just wasn't to my taste. They'd do well to have someone curate a playlist that wasn't so full of zoomer-centric pop music. The place would be a bit more chic if they stuck with music that fit the interior design better (this is what Pinewood Coffee *excels* at as the music is a perfect match with their aesthetic). Right now you'd hear some of the same tracks at a Target and I am not exaggerating. Something more avant-garde would just make the interiors that much better, imo.

Best shop I've seen in Waco. Space is beautiful, people are friendly, and the coffee is great.

Really really lovely place! Great space, lots of seating, chill music that’s good to study to, AMAZING matcha and coffee.
