Cafe Cappuccino

Been here a few times, it’s one of the better breakfast places in Waco. We waited about about 5-10 minutes using the check in website to check in. Service was quick to get us drinks and take our food order. After we ordered it took a bit for our food to come out. Maybe 25-30 minutes. The music kept fluctuating in volume which was a bit distracting. Also someone was messing with the lights. The lights in the restaurant turned on and off a few times but no big deal. The food was mostly very great. Mexican mash is super flavorful. Everything was cooked really well except the biscuits and gravy was cold. One single egg on the side was charged 4.05 with surprising and a bit of a rip off since a lot of the items were just barely more than that for a larger amount of food. Other than the biscuits and gravy being cold, overcharged for a single egg, and the food taking a bit to come out it was great. We enjoyed it!

The food here was pretty good and I might go again, but the wait times were incredibly long for how busy things were inside. I highly suggest you get-in-line on the website before going over unless you want to stand around a half hour. They had a good selections of tea and the banana nut French toast was interesting. My wife loved her breakfast burrito and it was quite large. It was a good way to start the day. If it were up to me I'd knock out the half walls and add bar-style seating at the counter, then they didn't have to waste big tables on parties of 1. That said, the long wait may be attributable to going on Sunday, it seems a surprising number of restaurants in that area are closed Sundays, leaving few choices to anyone visiting the city. I've no doubt if literally any other restaurant opened for Sunday breakfast they would do well and help alleviate the long wait times everywhere else.

We stopped in last Saturday morning with the whole family. We expected a wait for our party of 12, but were seated immediately. The U shaped table made it easy for everyone in our party to talk to one another. Our server was excellent, she took our orders and our food was delivered in record time. The food was also delicious- none of of us were prepared for the size of the pancakes! Even the gluten free pancake passed the taste test.

Good food, slow service. Front of house seemed disorganized. As a busy breakfast came on at 9 AM, it was evident the restaurant could have carried more business if they had been more efficient seating people and taking orders. The kitchen was not slow, as once we had placed our orders, the food came out within about 10 minutes. The hostess did not know where to seat us without consulting someone else. Then it took 10 minutes for someone to ask for our drink order. The waitress should have realized we were on a time limit when we asked for our drinks in to-go cups (the barista didn't get that info). Then it took 15 more minutes to get a food order. After we were done, it took a special request, 20 minutes, and another request to get our tab and to-go boxes. A meal that usually takes about 35 minutes from start to finish took 1 hour and 10 minutes. And they didn't even seem short-staffed, except for a good FOH manager. Pancakes were good. Hot links were surprisingly good. Bacon was cooked well. My over easy egg was done perfectly. All serving sizes were a good portion. Coffee drinks needed more espresso.
