From-scratch comfort food with a Texas twist. Fresh, natural and authentic. While visiting the Cafe, tour the farm and gardens and the working craft shops.

Cafe Homestead serves fresh, natural food true to its setting at Homestead Heritage, a traditional farming community. Pasture-raised beef, fresh breads, award-winning local cheese, and house-made sauces and condiments; these are a few of the things that help make Cafe Homestead one of Waco’s most-loved restaurants since 1994. Enjoy a hayride to a scenic vista overlooking the Brazos River.
