Nothing screams “autumn” quite like sipping a deliciously pumpkin-spiced latte from your favorite coffee shop. But with so many options available in Waco, which one offers the best PSL?

The coffee in Waco just got a little bit better.

Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits, which ran out of Croft Art Gallery for the past year, finally opened its doors last week at its own official storefront on Austin Avenue in downtown Waco.

The specialty coffee shop, which also serves food and alcoholic beverages, was founded with the mindset of bringing a high-grade product to its customers while giving them a comfortable, unique environment in which to enjoy it.

Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits is kicking it up a notch, as preparations are being made to move the shop to a newly renovated location just down the street on Austin Avenue.

Dichotomy is currently located at 712 Austin Ave. inside the Croft Art Gallery. In October it will move to 508 Austin Ave., where it will expand its services to being both a coffee bar and a bar that serves adult beverages.

Many people will pull up to a drive-through window at McDonald’s and order a McCafe Frappe Mocha in order to treat themselves or a get a caffeine boost. Coffee shops in Waco, however, believe that they’re offering something more than a quick fix –they say that with their coffee and service they’re offering an experience.

Jessie Harris, store manager of Trailhead Coffee Shop on the corner of University Parks Drive and Franklin Avenue, said there is a difference between the “coffee culture” and the coffee industry. Coffee culture, he said, is more about the attitude behind making coffee, whereas the industry of coffee is more about making profits.
