About Common Grounds Waco

Common Grounds Waco is a coffee shop in Waco, Texas. It is listed at 1123 S 8th St, Waco, TX 76706, which places it among the local businesses of Waco that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as live music venue, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–11 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (254) 757-2957. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is commongroundstx.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 1,720 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded coffee shops in Waco.

Waco is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. Getting around Waco is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Texas's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

I had a very disappointing experience at this coffee shop. My boyfriend and I visited around 6:00 PM, ordered our coffee, and had been sitting quietly in the corner for about 10 minutes when a male staff member came over and told us they would be closing in 15 minutes. This made no sense because the shop’s normal closing time is 11:00 PM, and there was no public holiday or special event that would explain an early closure. What made the situation even more upsetting was that we seemed to be the only customers who were approached. Other customers were left alone. We were polite, respectful, didn’t make any noise, and simply wanted to enjoy our coffee. As visitors from another country, it honestly felt like we were singled out because of who we are, and that experience came across as discriminatory and deeply unwelcoming. I can’t say for certain what the staff member’s intentions were, but the way we were treated was unfair and disrespectful. No customer should leave feeling unwelcome after doing nothing wrong. This café came highly recommended, which is why we chose to visit, but based on our experience, I cannot recommend it to others. Customer service is just as important as t

First time in Waco! Good place to stop for a drink. Free visitor parking on the Baylor Campus on weekends and a short walk to Common Grounds. Cute campus kitty hanging out around the corner from the coffee shop!

Most adorable coffee shop I've ever been to! Lots of seating and hangout spots. Students studying. Adorned with antique furniture. Loved the vibe. Great menu and wonderful experience! Will go back every time we're in Waco!

I decided, as a former BU alumni, to stop by and try out the old coffee shop. There was not a single parking spot so I was forced to park in one of many mangers spots for maybe 5mins to use the restroom and order a cappuccino. I get back to my car and there’s a huge green tow warning sticker on my vehicle. I’ll never stop here again! Plus the restroom was filthy. I’d recommend some to-go spots for customers to use. Magnolia Press will continue to be my go to on my way through town.

The interior is super elegant and cute, it’s a blessing to just sit in any of the sitting area inside/outside. Their amazing seasonal drink (Gold rush) is very rich-tasting and has a nice savory flavor! Will definitely visit back again!
