World Cup Cafe and Fair Trade Market

The food is good, and the service is attentive. However, this place is about more than just a meal. World Cup Cafe is part of a ministry that helps an underserved community by providing jobs and a sense of community. Having a good meal and making a positive impact is a win in my book.

Cute breakfast place with really good food. You will not walk away hungry. Boutique shop that is attached is also fun. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place, go enjoy and help out people who need it.

Very friendly with a very welcoming atmosphere! We are out of town but it was very nice. ☆ My mom and I ate breakfast here; my omelet was great, and the biscuits and gravy were fantastic. We each got a pair of cute earrings from the fair trade market. Overall a great experience.

Worst experience ever! Was there on Monday. Walked in, never greeted. She came to our table 5 minutes later, still no friendly greeting. We never got refills, I never saw her the whole hour we waited for our food. My husbands food sat in the window ten minutes prior to the rest of our food being finished. As she was standing at the window waiting for the rest of our food to be done, she was touching her hair then playing on her phone. After we received our food which was not the greatest, we never saw her again. I had to go to the register to receive and review my bill. As a breakfast server myself I was totally appalled. Nobody wants to be waited on by someone who clearly doesn’t want to be there. I think she should start looking for a new job that she’s good at cause this isn’t it

Great, friendly service. Caramel Latte was great.

I've been to the restaurant 10+ times. After talking to my wife, we decided to leave a review. The food is very tasty. But the service is very variable, most of the time somewhat poor. We have had two experiences that left us not really wanting to visit the restaurant anymore, except for maybe take out. The first one, we waited 45 minutes for my food with my wife and my one year-old during my 1-hour lunch break. The second one, it was just poor service, we waited 7-10 minutes to actually try to place an order, so I went to the counter to place it (which the waiter did not seem to like). We did not get a chair for our baby offered so we had to ask for one. Also we waited on the food for about 15 minutes. When it was time to leave, I waited in the front counter to pay for several minutes while two waitresses were not busy. They were not short-handed nor busy, the front staff and kitchen staff were sharing videos/pictures on their cell phones and one of them was having a drink behind the counter. One person from the kitchen came to the front several times. I actually watched my food sit on the counter for about 10 minutes before it was served.

My wife and I like to support small business, and we'll continue to do that. For this restaurant, we probably will order food 15 minutes ahead of time and pick it up to go, and if not ready we will just not take it. That is if we come back. On a side note, if you have plenty of time to spare, do not have children, and want a relaxed environment, you may not notice or care about the service problems. As a paying customer with a family and not enough time to spend, you may not have a good experience.

I hope the restaurant owners read this review and pay more attention to the skills the employees are using while running the restaurant.

what a lovely concept and vibe! & outstanding work in the kitchen. service was super efficient and would highly recommend sitting at the bar. so cute, i'll be back! take your kids, take your grandparents, take your solo self, take your date. great place to visit in waco :)

Food and chai lattes were amazing!!! Eggs were cooked perfectly and pancakes were huge and delicious. I didn't get her name but the young lady working the front this morning was attentive and terrific!! Will definitely come back.

World Cup Cafe is AMAZING! Had breakfast and it was fantastic! Super crisp hash browns, crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes and great coffee (not too weak!). Also the Fair Trade Market has a wide variety of products that you really feel good about buying knowing that the artisans are getting paid what they deserve and not being cheated or taken advantage of. This is a great place with great food and service!
