In a city bursting with historic charm, coffee culture is thriving around every corner. Whether you crave an artful latte, a sweet pastry to start your morning, or a cozy spot to work and relax, there’s a local café ready to welcome you.
Let’s get to it.
Waterloo Coffee Company
Tucked off State Hwy 29 in Georgetown, Waterloo Coffee Company brings a vintage coffee trailer to life with local beans and family-run service. The walk-up window is hard to miss thanks to its bright, cheerful design, and once you arrive the team of Mike, Amy, Lacey, Lane and Jase welcomes you. They also offer a loyalty card for frequent visitors.
Beyond classic drip coffee, the menu features rotating specialties like the wildflower latte or Mexican mocha, plus State Fair-inspired drinks such as the cream puff latte. For those who prefer a gentler caffeine fix, there’s Summertime Sunday Tea and fresh fruit smoothies. All beans are Texas-sourced, so each cup reflects local flavor.
Service is simple counter style, with a drive-up window for quick pick-ups. Prices stay modest, making morning visits a budget-friendly habit. The trailer opens early on weekdays, though it remains closed on Sundays so the family can rest.
Mojo Coffee
Mojo Coffee combines quick drive-thru service with family roots from Burnet since 2015. Founded by three cousins, the brand now runs nine Texas locations, including Georgetown. A small indoor counter area exists, but most orders come through the drive-up window.
The menu centers on espresso drinks and blended options. Choose a 24-hour nitro cold brew or the Famous Frappe, where espresso and milk swirl together in a soft-serve ice cream machine. Iced coffees, energy drinks, teas and smoothies round out the selection, while pastries and croissants offer a grab-and-go snack.
Their signature dark roast features toffee and dark chocolate notes. You can also buy branded merchandise like shirts or a travel French press. A loyalty card rewards regulars with free drinks and discounts. Whether you need an early-morning pick-me-up at 5:30 a.m. or a late-evening caffeine boost just before 8 p.m., Mojo Coffee keeps service friendly, fast and focused on genuine hospitality.
