BRÛ Artisan Coffee Works is one of the coffee shops listed in Waco, Texas. The business is registered at North 8th Street &, 800 Austin Ave, Waco, TX 76701; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

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.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 8 am–5 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach BRÛ Artisan Coffee Works at (254) 495-1640; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

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.

None of Your Business (Marvel Geek) 6 months ago

This place is amazing! I tried it out on a lark and was pleasantly impressed. I had a flavored latte and a matcha latte. The flavoring of the latte was not so overbearing to drown out the flavor of the coffee and tasted perfect! The matcha had a very beautiful nutty flavor and reminded me of eating pecans fresh from the yard! The atmosphere is very delightful with mellow music, chill vibe, and a large, open space that is inviting.

The food was so dang 🔥🔥. My wife and I both enjoyed it. I liked having healthy options for breakfast, and the vegetarian omelet with a side salad and potatoes was a great way to start the day. My wife reallly enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. The coffee is very good and it’s my new go to spot. Awesome atmosphere too!

This unique little brunch spot was the best find! Don’t let the historic/ multi-use space fool you from the outside. This place is a must visit. I got the STORIES Sunrise Sandwich with a side of potatoes. Great buttered sourdough, house made pickles, and super cool purple potatoes. The iced Honey Vanilla Latte was delicious and well crafted. The service was excellent for even our group of 10.

Took us a minute to figure out the barista was in the hallway but it was worth it! She did a wonderful job meeting our requests for our orders and was so kind! The space is a great, quiet spot to grab a seat and chill for a bit.

Here we go… clean, sharp, and aligned with everything you experienced—no fluff, just truth with control. ⸻ Updated Review – New Location New space, new identity. BRÛ has officially stepped into something bigger—and that shift is immediately felt the moment you walk in. The new location inside Stories isn’t a tucked-away, hidden café anymore. It’s wide open, expansive, and built more like an event venue than a traditional coffee shop. And that’s where things get interesting. The space is beautiful—high ceilings, polished wood floors, plenty of room—but it also creates a different kind of experience. There’s a long walk to the counter, and for a first-time visitor, it’s not immediately clear: is this a place to grab coffee, sit and stay, or attend something? That lack of direction can make the experience feel a bit uncertain at first. On the coffee side, I ordered a cortado. Solid. No complaints there. The craft is still present, and that part of BRÛ remains consistent. Where things start to lose focus is everything around it. The menu outside is packed—coffee, tea, syrups, pastries, brunch, catering—it’s a lot to take in, especially for someone just walking by. Most people
