Specify TextAlignment.CENTER for the Text and use a layout like StackPane that "defaults to Pos.CENTER."

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.scene.text.TextAlignment;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/**
 * @see http://stackoverflow.com/a/37541777/230513
 */
public class Test extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Text waitingForKey = new Text("Level 2 \n\n" + "Press ENTER to start a new game");
        waitingForKey.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
        waitingForKey.setFont(new Font(18));
        waitingForKey.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(waitingForKey);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 320, 240, Color.BLACK);
        primaryStage.setTitle("Test");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
