We all have a story.  Ours began 

in 2006...

Located at 1321 N. 15th–the corner of 15th & Colcord Avenue in Waco Phone: 254-757-1748 WORLD CUP CAFE VOTED “BEST NEW RESTAURANT” IN 2006 WACO TRIBUNE HERALD READERS’ POLL and Best Restaurant of 2015! THANKS TO OUR GREAT STAFF AND GREAT CUSTOMERS!

The corner restaurant at Jubilee Center (1321 N. 15th at Colcord) opened on January 9th, 2006 with specialty coffees and pastries. On January 31st, breakfast and lunch became the norm. On February 14th, the Cafe held its official Grand Opening. The World Cup Café not only offers coffees from around the world, but also is training men and women in the food service industry. The Fair Trade Market features unique gift items from around the world — jewelry, handbags, picture frames, home decorations, and much more — and all help provide livable wages for people around the world!Mission Waco has long sought a way to bring residents from North Waco together with middle-income folks in this revitalizing community. Economic development is a key factor in the growing changes. Across the street from successful “D’s Mediterranean Grill,” the area has signs of new growth and excitement. Grassroots Community Development (formerly Waco CDC) has built lots of new homes in the neighborhood. A multi- housing property for seniors is on the former Providence Hospital site. Family Health Center (Waco’s largest provider of low-income health care) expanded. Jubilee Food Market and Urban R.E.A.P. provide fresh produce and groceries.  And the World Cup Café is right in the middle of the development. So come by and have a meal!
