Glory Bell Coffee Shop Review


This week I visited Glory Bell Coffee Shop located at 600 Columbus Ave. Before visiting, I made sure to do some prior research on the coffee and what to expect. An article titled "The Largest Coffee Shop in Waco" was able to give me a good background as to what Glory Bell was all about. This article emphasizes the size of the shop, how family-friendly it is, as well as the layout. The word that came to mind after reading this article was "community." It was obvious that this coffee shop was placed here to appeal to the local community and provide a fun space for all individuals.

Right when I entered the coffee shop I noticed how open and welcoming the space was. The main area was massive, with tall ceilings and lots of floor space that included a play area for kids. Worship music was playing as well, which brought about a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. It is connected to the Glory Bell Church who also does events in the coffee shop such as Bible study or live music. The openness was great, but doesn't allow for much privacy if that is what you are looking for. As much as I love the space, I find that studying and doing homework here could be distracting for those who really want to focus. 

Glory Bell has various seating options scattered throughout the large space, consisting of many different couches and chairs to choose from. It is a very modern-rustic interior design which gives the shop a very appealing look. I ordered my coffee drink, which is the Iced Americano with Oat Milk and Honey. The baristas were extremely kind and efficient when making my drink, which is an important detail when reviewing coffee shops. The coffee was high quality and had a very sweet and strong coffee bean taste. I will most definitely be visiting this coffee shop in the future and recommend it to almost anyone.

Common Grounds Coffee Review

Image
This week I visited Common Grounds located on 1123 S. 8th Street. This coffee shop's location is very special to Baylor, as it is located in a very convenient spot for students. A short walk is all it takes for Baylor students. They also have a location in the Baylor SUB, which is located on school campus. Because their locations are extremely Baylor-centric, they are a favorite amongst students. It has been roughly a year or two since I last went to a Common Grounds for coffee or studying purposes, so I was excited to see what the environment was like and how the coffee tasted. I ordered an Iced American with Oat Milk and Honey. The service was excellent, and my drink was made quickly. The taste of the drink was not on par with the service. The coffee was bitter and lacked the flavor I look for in this drink. It was also very water down, which was disappointing to say the least. As an avid coffee enjoyer, I more then likely would not order my coffee from here until a significant c...

Starbuck's Coffee Review

Image
This week I visited Starbuck's Coffee shop located at 1703 S 18th St. Starbucks has many locations throughout Waco, TX, and is extremely well-known. As an avid coffee enthusiast, I couldn't not review Starbucks. Starbucks is the world's largest chain of coffeehouses. With 30,000 locations across 80 countries, it is one the most recognized and valued brands worldwide. The location I visited is extremely close to Baylor campus and easily accessible from the interstate. This shop is also within just a couple blocks of where I currently live, which made it an easy choice for my next coffee shop visit. I ordered an Iced Americano with Oat Milk and Honey. The service was slow, which was a little unusual as I have never really had an issue with service at a Starbucks before. It took nearly five minutes for them to finally come to the register and take my order, even though there wasn't a line. After waiting longer than normal, I got my drink. It was overly sweet and watered do...

For Keeps Coffee Shop Review

Image
This week I visited For Keeps Coffee Shop located at 3619 Bosque Blvd. This coffee shop was founded by Cameron and Danielle Philgreen, real estate investors who are passionate about making the ideal drinks. Although further than most coffee shops from schools campus, it is still located in the heart of Waco and is fairly new to the area. As an avid coffee enthusiast, I was surprised I hadn't visited this shop. With lots of positive reviews and highly recommended online, it was great to finally get to visit For Keeps Coffee. Like every other coffee shop I have visited the last couple weeks, I ordered an Iced Americano with Oat Milk and Honey. A large bar where they serve drinks in located against the side of the building, and provides customers with a less crowded space. The service was exceptional, and I received my drink shortly after ordering. The coffee was delicious, and it was obvious that they used high quality coffee beans and paid great attention to detail when making your ...
