    Got so happy seeing they offer decaf coffee. This is my lane. I will be back for some lattes.

    My new favorite coffee shop. Great, friendly service. Easy checkout. Nice quaint layout with a nice patio. Love the artwork on the walls. Especially the banjos. Really nice touch. I'm currently hooked on the vegetable sausage egg & cheese biscuit. This was my 2nd time this week enjoying this sandwich. Then discovered they offer decaf coffee. Looking forward to trying some of their lattes.

    Very cool inside and delicious coffee that I've never seen on a menu before. Avondale heights always surprises me and Banjo was no different. Went on A Friday morning and I haven't been in a coffee shop line that long in a minute. They were crowded, not slow to be clear. Muffin was tasty and the pastries looked good overall.

    I've been here twice and ordered an iced coffee with vanilla each time. And each time it had a bitter taste. The service is good and fast. But I don't recommend their iced coffee. Parking is tight. The inside is clean and quiet.

    Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a free private parking lot in front of the business; however, parking is very limited. If you cannot find a space out front, try parking on the street (Locust St), left of the building. II. SERVICE Timely III. QUALITY The coffee was perfect. I had an Americano and it was pleasantly acidic and dense. Their cappuccino was also ratioed well. Atmosphere-wise? The interior is great. Except.. Everywhere I go I have to inevitably use the bathroom.. I wish I didn't have to use theirs. The floor was wet. The only accessible toilet paper was thrown on the back of the toilet seat and not in the holder bin. It looked as if they were in the process of renovating it but it was still incomplete with blue tape everywhere. It just didn't feel clean. Hope it improves. IV. CAPACITY The place was filled on a weekday morning up until noon, then the crowd started dying down.

    Nice location at Avondale, the place is a real coffee bar, it has interior and exterior ambience, great for family and friends, fast and friendly service, the coffee was roasted

    I love their iced lavender honey latte and breakfast burrito ;with bacon). The burrito comes within an amazing salsa verde on the side the customer service is wonderful.

    Nitro cold brew dirty chai
    Jared W.

    I was really impressed with my visit to Banjo Coffee. I tried three different drinks. Their espresso was strong with hints of chocolate notes, and I really enjoyed it. Their nitro cold brew is one of the best I've ever had, and was so good that I tried their nitro cold brew dirty chai, which is a typical dirty chai made with cold brew instead of espresso. It wasn't as good as the plain cold brew to me, but I still really enjoyed it. The baristas were pleasant, and the outdoor space is nice. My only negative would be that they have minimal space inside if weather is uncooperative.

    Butterfly Latte w/ bacon egg and cheese biscuit
    Tiffani C.

    3.8/5 Food: Found this place on Yelp and just had to try! I had the chicken chorizo burrito and the cinnamon roll w/ the vanilla bourbon latte w/ oat milk. My partner had the breakfast biscuit with bacon and the butterfly lavender latte. The vanilla bourbon latte was pretty good, I would definitely get it again and add a lil more flavoring. The burrito was just okay, very oily (ruined my top and pants) and I wasn't a fan of how minced the meat was. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his biscuit but wished they gave jam with it, but he did not like his drink. I had to go in and ask for some simple syrup on the side to go into it. So heads up, order sweetener or flavoring for the latte. Service: Since it was busy, all the workers were working hard but did pay attention to requests when asked. The cashier was very helpful when ordering, and even sold me the last cinnamon roll in the display case when I asked for one (which was really good warmed). Ambiance/Parking: It's a really cute, small cafe with minimal sitting inside and out. The parking lot has limited spaces but there is street parking on the side of the building. Overall: I would come back and try the breakfast biscuit and the lavender honey latte next.

    Cute little coffee shop right across from the farmers market. Prices were a little high but my salted caramel was coffee was really good and not too sweet. They have a really good espresso machine in there and they have some seating but it's a bit of a tight fit.

    Lavender butterfly latte
    Tanisha Y.

    This quaint and cute coffee shop makes big flavor and luxurious drinks. When you enter the space, it is small and warm. You're likely going to find people enjoying their sips and sitting around talking. It's that kind of coffee shop. I ordered the butterfly lavender latte with oatmilk and it was so pretty I actually had to take a pic. It was nice and warm and the right amount of frothy. Next time I order it, I'm going to make sure I get it extra hot (for my personal palette). I also ordered a biscuit sandwich with bacon. It was soft and yummy and tasty. Make sure you visit. You won't regret it at all.

    Vanilla coffee

    Great place when walking the beltline. Service is great and the coffee was yummy. They had a water bowl for pet on the side as well for your pups / fur buddies. There is not any seating but the truck is right beside the park so if you're already headed there it's a great snack/drink stop. There is an area you can sit, there's an landscape area with a brick wall at a hight most adults can reach.

    Ok, first off this is the cutest little set-up. Tons of parking, some in front and lots in the…read moreback. I suggest parking in the back. It's a walk up window spot with the menu and a bell, when you're ready to order, ring the bell. The service is friendly and succinct. Non invasive and just helpful without asking when needed. The seating area is a mix between covered and uncovered, with a small speaker playing contemporary tunes at a respectable level. There are string lights above, and I can only imagine how beautiful this all looks at night. I'd read a LOT about their fish sandwich. That it is a good size helping. That it has a great light fresh vinegar sauce with thinly sliced carrots and other crunchy veg. The fish tasted fresh fried. And I have to say, this is the Best fish sandwich I have ever tasted. I only am upset I hadn't come much sooner. I will have to return, probably on a monthly basis for that fish sandwich. There are enough pictures out there of the sandwich. But I also had the Thai basil lemonade and it was a nice pairing. Not a waste of time, effort or dough. Just go.

We bring friends here, and one friend in particular is so obsessed that he was dreaming of their food when he was on a film shoot out of state, and could not wait to get back. You order at the window, and can take it away or eat outside. The place feels like a party when the weather is good. I don't think it is possible to order badly: the owners keep the menu tight, and everything is SO FRESH. When they run out, that's it. (The curried carrot soup will go fast, I've found.) My husband usually gets the vietnamese fried fish sandwich which is delectable with lots of flavor and texture. We rarely eat meat, but I have made an exception to try the Moroccan lamb burger which was worth it. I usually spring for the upgrade to get crispy smashed potatoes instead of chips. And it's worth noting that the drinks are also well above average: I've enjoyed the indulgence of a Bravassi hard Italian soda with my meal on a lazy afternoon, after shopping at the Second Life thrift store. Their drinks are very good, and they serve them up straightaway to savor while you wait for your order to come up. I have not yet ordered a salad but they have an array of excellent / choices, and I know they will not disappoint. I also want to note that although there is not waiter service (which makes it an ideal spot to meet friends) the staff is friendly, and well above average. It's such a great vibe, and a real bonus of living in the area. They also serve breakfast, and I feel confident in their level of quality in recommending them as a stop for anyone.

Smooth on the spoon with that soft creamy finish that makes soup feel a little luxurious instead of just warm. The feta on top cut through it nicely. Salty. Tangy. A little flash of brightness in every bite. It gave comfort with some polish. Like rainy day food that still has good posture. The almond croissant was the one. Golden edges. A soft shatter on the outside. Then that dense almond center that lands sweet, nutty, and almost plush. The powdered sugar on top made it feel a little extra in the best way. Not too precious. Not too sugary. Just enough to make it feel bakery serious. The kind of pastry that makes you pause after the first bite because now everybody else at the table wants some. The tea was better than good. Clean. Smooth. Calming in a way that made everything else settle into place. It felt intentional. Not an afterthought. Definitely the standout and the easiest thing to come back for. Forgot her name, but the woman helping me order was a lifesaver. Honest. Adorable. Knew how to guide without hovering. Gave the kind of recommendation you trust immediately. The room had that easy café buzz. Warm lighting. People lingering.
