I got invited to attend Sesanood’s launch the other week and y’all they were SO good! First of all they are vegan friendly, you can order online, they are a female owned company, AND they have a mouthwatering flavor only found in authentic traditional recipes from Taiwan, (inspired by their Grandma).
And P.S. It is Taiwanese husband approved! My husband had some for dinner from my swag bag and he absolutely loved them! #bestwifeaward
Sesanood is the higher quality instant noodles mixed with premium sesame for a nutritious blast of positive energy and essential vitamins. Enjoy thick, tender, sun dried noodles with a rich taste that never disappoints.

🤠This ain’t my first rodeo! 👵🏼The ear 🤠This ain’t my first rodeo! 
👵🏼The earliest memory I have of the rodeo is watching Selena in concert! So trust me when I say I’ve been going for years or should I say only a couple....
🗣Here are a couple of tips for surviving your FIRST rodeo! 
⏰GO EARLY! Doors open at 8am! Carnival opens at 4 but most of the food vendors were open throughout the day.
🚊PARKING I’ve been parking in the Yellow lot for $20 & there’s a tram that will drop you off at the entrance or it’s just a short walk away. You can also take the metro or rideshare.
🎟CONCERT TICKETS get you into the rodeo. If you're just visiting the carnival/fairgrounds you will need NRG Park Admission!
🐎ARRIVE AT THE CONCERT EARLY (6:45pm on the weekdays and 3:45pm on weekends) to watch the rodeo! You can't miss the Calf Scramble & Mutton Bustin'!
🍷BUY A BOTTLE OF WINE at the Champion Wine Garden (opens at 4)! It’s so much cheaper than buying individual drinks. 
🍕THE PIZZA AT THE WINE GARDEN is freaking amazing! The stall is called TCG Food Service and they are to the left of the entrance to the wine garden. It's something about the bread that’s just so good & after that bottle of wine, it’s 👌🏼
👢BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES. No matter how you get here, you will definitely be doing a lot of walking! 
👇🏼Comment below any tips you have!

🏙When working from home means working from coff 🏙When working from home means working from coffee shops with skyline views. #ad 
I don’t think I will ever go back to corporate as I love being able to work from anywhere as long as I have wifi or signal. Working in Social Media, a lot of my work can be done straight from my phone. I know I can trust @metrobytmobile to keep me connected wherever I choose to work from home. 
With the power of T-Mobile’s 5G network, you’ll have more 5G coverage. 
How do you #ruleyourday? Do you also work from home or do you have to go into the office?

Texas + Beyond

7 Coffee Shops in Waco

August 21, 2021      Leave a Comment

Finding local coffee shops is one of my favorite things to do when I travel. If you want me to wake up early on vacation I will need a huge cup of coffee!

If you love coffee, I found over 7 coffee shops in Waco to add to your itinerary. Mainly because of course you will need some coffee to start your full day of exploring! 

1) Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits

Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits Waco, Texas

Dichotomy Coffee and Spirits not only sells coffee but also cocktails and specialty spirits. They have tons of indoor seating and also a rooftop patio with a hidden mural. Click here to see the mural. 

Stop by for coffee and maybe if you stay long enough they will be open for cocktails! And make sure you go up the stairs and take a peek at the amazing view from the rooftop.

2) Common Grounds Waco

Common Grounds Coffee Waco, Texas

Common Grounds was opened by two native Wacoans and has been around for over 20 years. They have tons of outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. It’s definitely a place you want to sit and hang out for a couple of hours.

If you know someone who went to Baylor, you know they rave about Common Grounds. Well, I experienced it for myself and I have to say they make some darn good coffee! We actually stopped by twice, as one day we needed a pick me up and their coffee is definitely strong and does the trick!

3) Pinewood Coffee Bar

Pinewood Coffee Beer Waco, Texas

Pinewood Coffee Bar is also similar to Dichotomy in that they sell both coffee and right across in a separate building they sell beer!

You are able to sit in either one throughout the day and there is a food truck parked in their lot in case you get hungry. Pinewood Coffee has this whole hipster vibe, if you’re into that!

4) Magnolia Table Takeaway + Market

Magnolia Table Takeaway + Market Coffee Waco, Texas

We stopped by Magnolia Table for Brunch and had to wait for our table to be ready. In the meantime, we decided to head to their Takeaway + Market area. We ordered some coffee and pastries and it was exactly the same coffee and pastries you would order inside at Magnolia Table. 

The Takeway + Market area is perfect if you don’t want to wait for a table at Magnolia Table. For more tips on visiting Magnolia click here.

5) Magnolia Press

Magnolia Press Waco Texas

So I knew the coffee was going to be good at Magnolia Press but I didn’t know it would be THAT good. It was definitely my favorite cup of coffee from the whole trip! Not to mention the Bacon Cheddar Bake Trio was DELICIOUS. It’s basically egg bites but definitely the best ones I’ve ever had.

Magnolia Press is located at Magnolia Market and has some seating inside but plenty of seating outdoors.

6) Waco Cha

Waco Cha coffee Waco, Texas

At Waco Cha, all the beverages are handcrafted and made to order with your preference of sweetness! What I loved the most was that they had so many of options for those that are lactose intolerant. Some of their items on the menu already come with oat milk!

We ordered the small sizes, which I believe are the kid’s sizes, so we could try several of the drinks. I recommend trying as many as possible and doing 25% sweetness. It was the perfect amount of sweetness.

In addition, Waco Cha also owns Waco Bao which sells Chinese and Taiwanese food. You can find them at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings.

7) Lalo's Coffee

Lalo's Coffee Waco, Texas

Lalo’s coffee opened in 2020 and brings authentic Hispanic cultured drinks to Waco. They also have fresh pastries at the entrance and this beautiful colorful mural. 

In Conclusion

Who knew Waco had so many coffee shops? I hope you found a new coffee shop to explore. After you get your coffee fix, click here for more things to do.
