If your definition of “perfect” is “exploring Waco and supporting local businesses,” you’re in luck – we’ve mapped out a day full of munching + milling around the town.

Start your day with something sweet or savory from Baked Bliss Bakery. Their mouth-watering menu includes treats like made-from-scratch cinnies, buttery biscuits, and seasonal specials. They even have a gluten-free selection of tasties, so EVERYONE can find something to love!

Next stop: Chatter Box! This boutique is full of bright colors and unique personality pieces. The quirky gifts and decorations here are sure to liven any table, room, or wall. You may not yet know how badly you need a hand-painted garden tool holder, but you will soon…

If a warm bowl of soup or a toasty sandwich is calling your name, look both ways and then head right across the street to the cozy cafe at Sironia. And if you’ve still got a little shopping left in you, you can browse their rooms full of clothes, jewelry, and trinkets galore!

Shopped so hard you’ve dropped? No better way to wind down after a day of local exploration than with your feet up. Waco’s Ultimate Escape Spa & Wellness Center is a full service day spa – a therapeutic escape offering facials + massages, manis + pedis, and a variety of permanent makeup procedures. In other words, leave here looking AND feeling like a million bucks.
