Where To Eat Weekday Breakfast In Waco

1. Harvest on 25th

Harvest on 25th

This is hands down my top pick for weekday breakfast in Waco! Harvest on 25th is a wonderful, locally-owned café that has fresh, local food made to order. 

Try their delicious beef chorizo hash or the zucchini and wild mushroom omelet if you want something savory. Craving sweets? The pancakes are amazing, and I love every pastry I’ve ever tried here. (Get the scone!) 

Days/hours open: every day at 8 am

2. Magnolia Table

Magnolia Table

Chip and Joanna’s farmhouse-style restaurant might be absolutely packed for weekend brunch, but if you swing by on a Tuesday morning, you’ll most likely be seated right away. There’s always a fun, buzzy energy in here!

Joanna Gaines’s biscuits are a must-try on the menu. I think that the Classic Farm Breakfast is the best menu item because you get to try a little bit of everything. 

Days/hours open: Monday-Saturday at 7 am (closed Sundays)

3. Waco Waffle Co

Waco Waffle

Located just a bit north of Waco at Homestead Heritage, Waco Waffle Co is a great place to stop for breakfast before exploring the cheese cave and the rest of Heritage Craft Village. 

They have a lot of waffles on the menu (duh) so you can get anything from savory Jalapeno waffles with fried chicken, bacon, and hollandaise to sweet waffles with sweet cream drizzle, peaches, whipped cream, and caramel. {Photo: Ruth D., Yelp}

Days/hours open: Monday-Saturday at 7:30 am (closed Sundays)

4. George’s Restaurant

George's Restaurant

Oh, George’s…it’s a classic in Waco for a reason! No, you’re not going to be wowed by a modern restaurant or a rotating menu. But you will get some of the most tried-and-true weekday breakfast favorites in Waco. This place has stood the test of time since it opened in 1930. 

Breakfast options include Tex-Mex favorites like migas and burritos, a wide variety of omelets and other egg dishes like stead & eggs and benedicts, breakfast hashes and sandwiches, pancakes and waffles, and avocado toast. They pretty much have it all at George’s! {Photo: George’s Restaurant}

Days/hours open: Monday-Saturday at 6:30 am (closed Sundays)

5. Mamaka Bowls

Mama Bowls

If you’re craving a healthy weekday breakfast in Waco, go to Mamaka Bowls. These delicious acai bowls are seriously SO insanely good! You can top yours with any option of customizable toppings, but I like going with the pre-made choices because they’re always so nicely balanced. I love The Bro because it has peanut butter and protein powder in it. 

Psst: you can get any of their menu items made as a bowl or a smoothie, and they also have a robust coffee menu and breakfast tacos available. {Photo: Bill D., Yelp}

Days/hours open: Monday-Saturday at 8 am (closed Sundays)

WEBSITE | 215 S University Parks Dr, Waco, TX 76701, United States

6. Toasted Yolk Cafe

Toasted Yolk

I used to hate the name (who toasts a yolk??) until I realized that they’re referring to a menu item where they put an egg in the middle of a slice of sourdough bread and toast the whole thing (also called a toad-in-the-hole.) Ah, makes sense! 

The food is actually really good at this weekday breakfast spot in Waco. The Toasted Yolk is your typical 2010s breakfast restaurant in a small town, meaning it’s very cozy and homey, and the menu has pretty much everything you’d hope to see on a breakfast menu: omelets, benedicts, pancakes, hashes, bowls, toasts, and more. They also have a full bar, so you can make it feel like you’re brunch in’ on a Tuesday morning if you want! {Photo: Toasted Yolk Cafe}

Days/hours open: daily at 7 am

7. The Olive Branch

The Olive Branch

The Olive Branch is a popular breakfast and lunch spot in downtown Waco. Despite the Mediterranean-sounding name, the menu is mostly comfort American cuisine. 

They have menu items like a maple bacon breakfast biscuit or a brisket breakfast burrito. There are also healthier options like omelets, breakfast bowls. It’s a robust menu! 

This is a warehouse-style space, so it’s not especially cute or cozy. But it’s very spacious, so if you need a Waco weekday breakfast spot for a group, The Olive Branch is a good option. {Photo: Heath C., Yelp}

Days/hours open: Monday-Saturday at 8 am (closed Tuesday), Sunday at 10 am

WEBSITE | 215 S 2nd St, Waco, TX 76701, United States
