8 New Food Spots In Waco, TX You Need To Try
Bridget Sjoberg

It may sound odd, but one of my favorite parts about Baylor University is the school’s location in Waco, Texas. Waco definitely has its quirks and run-down areas, but it also has a definite charm and is slowly becoming a trendy tourist destination. Part of this rising popularity is due to the Waco food scene (although with being the home of Magnolia Market doesn’t hurt either). Here are seven of the best new food and drink spots to try in Waco-town!

1. Stone Hearth Indian Cafe

Stone Hearth opened in just spring of 2017, but it has already become a local favorite. Tikka masala curry with chicken and rice is to die for!

2. Tesla’s Cafe and Coffee Pub

Tesla’s is one of Waco’s newest additions, opening just a few weeks ago! It’s located in a renovated Victorian style house, it and has incredible waffles and breakfast burritos!

3. 1102 Bubble Tea and Bites

This trendy spot also opened within the past couple of weeks, but is already always packed with Baylor students and locals! They serve a variety of teas with boba and other fun drinks like Italian sodas and smoothies.

4. Pinewood Coffee Bar

Pinewood once shared a location with a local Mediterranean cafe, but it has since opened up its own shop on Austin Avenue. The spot has high-quality coffee and a friendly staff!

5. Hecho En Waco

Opening just this past September, Hecho En Waco has already grown to be a Waco favorite. They offer upscale Mexican cuisine and incredible fish tacos!

6. Oh My Juice

Oh My Juice has grown tremendously from their 2015 opening, and serve healthy options like açai bowls, smoothies, and salads to the Waco community.

7. Heritage Creamery

I often forget that Heritage has only been around since 2016! This ice cream shop offers unique flavors (Ethiopian Coffee is the best!) and is a favorite for Baylor students.

8. New Spots!

There are several new food spots coming soon to Waco! The owners of Common Grounds are planning to open Fabled Bookshop and Cafe soon in downtown Waco, and Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Table comes this spring!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
