We Love: Cute Date Spots in Waco

Sadly, the days of perforated tear-apart valentines and collage art shoe boxes are long gone. We’ve stepped up our game, and these Waco hotspots are offering more than a sticky starburst for V-Day. Here are some cute date spots to keep in mind while you try to decide where to go with your significant other!

Visit Fabled Bookshop and Co. to peruse the bookshelves for a love story of your own, or let our friends at Fabled set you up this Valentine’s. The bookshop is offering a “blind date with a book” at 7 p.m. on Feb. 15. Click here for more information and ticket prices!

215 S 4th St, Waco, TX 76701 

Klassy Glass Wine Bar is the place to get your charcuterie board fix. Yes, you heard me right-- charcuterie. If your stomach needs a little more love, however, Klassy Glass is also offering a dinner special and live music from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Valentine’s Day. Click here for the menu!

Are chocolate covered strawberries your love language? Look no further than Hey Sugar Candy Store! They are taking pre-orders on chocolate dipped strawberries, dipped oreos, chocolate boxes, and Valentine’s Day soda baskets. Or maybe pull the oldest trick in the book and share one milkshake with two straws ;)

Dichotomy is known as a good place to study, have a drink, or get together with friends, and the mellow vibe of the coffeeshop will definitely clear those Valentine’s butterflies. 

Clay Pot is the go-to place for some good Vietnamese food, but they’re also offering a dinner special with special vegan entrée options on V-Day! Click here, or you’re fortune cookie prophecy won’t come true!!

416 Franklin Ave, Waco, Texas 76701

Now, after eating your weight in spring rolls, walk next door to TrueLove Bar. With all the karaoke, foosball, and billiards for your heart's desire.

Maybe it’s time to take this relationship to the next level at the Critters Exotic Pets. Adopt a monkey together!  

Just kidding. Although, a trip to the exotic pet store might make up for that giant teddy bear you’ve always wanted for Valentine’s Day. (But really, where would you put that?)

600 S Valley Mills Dr, Waco, TX 76711

Full-heartedly let your inner child back out at Build-A-Bear Workshop. Grab your silliest friends, raid the Valentine’s Day section at Target, and pull an all-nighter; it might be the only time you won’t dedicate it to studying.

Now, send this article to your Valentine because who is really wearing the pants in the relationship?
