usually go to the South Congress location, but this spot seriously impressed me too. It somehow feels both more spacious and more cozy at the same time, which is kind of the perfect combo if you're settling in to work or hang out for a while. There are way better outlet options here, which makes it super laptop-friendly, and they even have a printer available. it's about a dollar per page. I'm a big fan of their mochas, and the snack situation is solid too. They've got good bagel options and other grab-and-go bites that actually pair well with coffee. If you like a little heat in your drink, definitely try the Scarlet Letter. It's a spicy mocha and it's so good. Overall, great vibes, great coffee, and an easy place to post up for a few hours. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by on my break today since it's close to the hospital. When I got to the counter, both baristas were chatting and didn't acknowledge me. I had to say hello first and still got no response. The man in the black and neon green shirt seemed annoyed when I asked questions about the "Bennu" drink, giving short answers and little help. When my drink was ready, he just mumbled something, and there were several coffees sitting there with no names called out, so I had to guess which one was mine. I sat at the first seat I saw and didn't really take in the ambiance because I just felt uncomfortable. I'm not expecting over-the-top friendliness, but a little basic customer service would go a long way. The coffee itself was good and exactly what I wanted. But the overall experience left me not wanting to return. read more

I saw an article a while back discussing Bennu as one of the few 24hr coffee shops still around in Austin. After living by Bennu for a couple of years and seeing the parking lot filled to the brim (literally every time I drive by), I got lucky one day and saw a parking spot. I had fresh grocery and my laptop was at home but I stopped in anyway. I loved how this coffee shop made me feel like I was back in college and writing my most expansive papers. The barista was new but very kind and helpful (this place is not your standard layout!). Yes, you have to buy something for WiFi. I felt bad watching a guy begrudgingly buy a sparkling water to get 3 more hours of internet. I totally understand the concept as they would have even more people hanging out. My coffee was good and the barista was super nice and adjusted my milk to coffee to sweetener ratio until it was perfect! read more

Came Sunday around noon, and there was no parking available. This is a 24 hour coffee shop that has a welcoming "come and chill" environment. There's plenty of indoor seating, printer, and chargers so it's understandable that their parking is taken. Inside was air conditioned and opened area. It was full of people when I came. The cashier was friendly towards me. She did have an attitude toward my friend who ordered afterwards. I ordered the iced Blennu. I give it a 6 out of 10. I do wish it was creamier. The coffee was watery. Overall the place is rate a 7.5 out of 10. I will come back. I want to read here. :) read more

Bennu Coffee - Menu (September 2024) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Oh, how I wish there were more places like Bennu Coffee in the world! One of its biggest highlights is that it's open 24/7, making it a perfect spot for people to get work or schoolwork done at all hours of the day. They also have plenty of seating and outlets, which is a huge plus for anyone looking for a productive environment. I've tried the Iced Bennu and the Don Quixote. The Don Quixote was a little too sweet for my taste, but the Iced Bennu was great. It reminded me of the Iced Turbo from Jo's Coffee, but with a bit more of a maple syrup flavor for the sweet side. While it's amazing that they're open 24/7, I did find their parking lot to be a bit small and disproportionate to the amount of seating inside, so finding a spot could be tricky during busy times. Overall, Bennu Coffee is a fantastic place to work, hang out, or grab a good coffee, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in Austin! read more

Loved the ambiance of the place! They are open 24 hours and we will definitely visit here again. We got two white chocolate mochas to go that were smooth and yummy. Perfect for driving down I-35! read more

I stopped in at 6am on Labor Day after dropping someone off at the airport and got an excellent cortado and cold brew. Quick service and great coffee. read more

I've stopped in a handful of times bc it's on my way to work. First vist, I had one of the house mocha specials (can't remember the name). Pretty strong on the mocha flavor but I couldn't really taste the others flavors. I also got their bacon & egg breakfast sandwich, which was DELICIOUS. I've also tried their hot & iced Chai & found the hot version to be extremely lacking in flavor. Their hot chocolate is pretty good but a bit on the bitter side. I've only tried their lemon poppyseed loaf as far as baked goods go & it was ok. I wouldn't risk an opium drug test over it. Sorry, Seinfeld reference...had to. This morning I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on flour taco bc their sandwiches were out, got to work and wondered why it tasted weird. It was a cactus, bean and potato on corn. It actually tasted pretty good but definitely not what I was expecting. I never would have ordered that normally, so I guess it was a happy accident. Staff is generally very friendly and it's a nice space. Parking lot is a bit frustrating when they're busy. If I go back, I'll probably start sticking to hot tea only. read more

This is a solid coffee shop. I only get tea but they have a lot of food options including a lot of vegan options. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a little dark and sometimes loud. Otherwise it's totally cool. I go here a lot to meet up with people and so far it's been fine. One time a car did get hit in the lot and the employees were helping figure out the logistics of that. So they are definitely going above and beyond! read more

I've been coming here for years SOLELY for the fact that it is a 24 hour shop and I have work to do at all hours. But I have had it! The coffee is one of the worst I have ever tasted. Literally tastes like water mixed with coffee bean for 6 dollars. No matter what you get! They also make the coffee different every single time. Oh and don't bother asking the workers to fix your drink. They will act like you are incompetent. I have never asked a barista to remake my drink and they take it back add more whipped cream and give it back. Horrible service. The place is dirty but I guess relaxing lighting for work. Bathrooms you have to close your eyes in, very dirty. Yes, i've tried many things on the menu. What do I recommend? Absolutely nothing. Too bad they make you buy something for wifi codes because they know no one would buy their horrid coffee otherwise. read more

sure its a nice spot to work at because its 24/7, however we ordered a matcha (my mistake) and a pb&j, and the matcha genuinely tastes like powder... and the pb&j is extremely stale! all for $14 btw! sooooo definitely would not be somewhere i come to for the drinks to say the least. read more

24 hour coffee spot. Great atmosphere with big chairs and plenty of workspace for students. Plugs at every table so perfect if you need a charge. Nice calming music and friendly staff. Just had coffee and pull apart cinnamon roll. Make sure to get it heated! Both were wonderful. read more

Back again to pick up my ATX Coffee Crawl Passport (check out @theatxcoffeecrawl on instagram for more info!) and get a little work done today! Tried something new this time and got the Don Quixote (iced, no whip) - $5.95+$1 tip. This is another one of their signature mochas made with Azteca D'Oro spiced chocolate and Mexican spiced powder, available hot or iced. Despite being a mocha, this drink is not overwhelmingly sweet (nor bitter) and the chocolate is really nicely balanced notes of vanilla, almond and cinnamon. As a side note, it is really nice to see the place pretty full this visit and seemingly getting back in the groove of pre-covid operations! Well done Bennu read more

I've heard a lot about Bennu coffee from other students and thought it was about time to check it out with finals seasons going on. The ambiance of the place is so cozy and welcoming! Definitely has a lot of dim lighting but I went there during the day so it didn't bother me. Ordered the honey cream latte on recommendation from the barista. It was rich, decadent and had a coffee kick without being overly sweet. Definitely does have a fair share of cinnamon which could be overwhelming at times. My friend got the iced bennu which I also loved and was definitely a lot stronger with hints of pecan. The Wi-Fi code didn't work for me but the work I had didn't really require it for me so I enjoyed the place and will definitely be visiting again! read more

Bennu Coffee - Honey Cream Latte Iced Bennu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Delicious coffee in Austin, TX! This is a great place to go if you're looking for a new study spot or just passing through town. If you like sweet drinks I would try one of the gourmet mochas. My usual order is the Great Gatsby, which is "a lavish twist of white and dark chocolate sauces topped with home-made whipped cream and chocolate shavings." It is rich, chocolatey, and so tasty. In my opinion, it definitely sweet but still holds onto that underlying coffee flavor. I also really like the Pride and Prejudice. Another plus is that Bennu is open 24 hours, so it's ready any time you are. read more

The coffee is great and that's why I come back but the baristas here are never friendly except maybe one guy and even then he's cordial and that's it. No matter if I come in the morning or afternoon the lack of customer service is the same. A lot of these comments say the same things so I feel this would be ideal to address. Pretty disappointing when I look forward to grabbing my coffee and leave feeling like it was a bad experience. read more

Just wanna give thanks to the hardworking staff that keep this place running. Place needs to be shut down for a day and deep cleaned though lol read more

Staff was friendly and their chai tea is awesome. The lights are dim but it's enough light to study.

Let me just start by saying, Bennu has been a place where I have spent COUNTLESS of hours since I was a freshman at UT to now a Senior. I want to showcase my appreciation for their hard work of being one of the only late-night // 24 hours coffee shops in Austin. Sometimes I don't want to study at home or at the university and Bennu has been there for me through it all. I have visited all of their locations but my favorite has to be their East Austin location! The parking isn't the best and the curve on the entrance almost fucked my jeep (but that might be on me cause hitting curves was a hereditary trait from my mom) but the vibes inside are perfect for getting work done. I love LOVE L O V E the dim lighting! This might be an unpopular opinion but I do NOT like bright lights when I study especially when i'm working on my computer. This Bennu in particular has the best ambiance for late night studying. I also love how comfy their couch chairs are. Perfect for my back after rotting my brain on the computer for hours. But I wish i could give them 100 stars for how many ports they have. They are basically coming out of the roof (literally). You can charge your laptop ANYWHERE! It's perfect. I like the concept of having to get something every three hours to get the internet password because that gives me an excuse to feed my caffeine addiction. Plus i don't mind having to support a coffee shop that is open so late. I have tried everything from their chai lattes, italian sodas, cold brews, etc., but my favorite things has got to be their lattes. Their mocha latte in particular is very good. Velvety creamy and delicious! Defiantly one of my favorite spots to study/get work done. 10000/10!!!! read more

Bennu Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Honestly it's super busy and crowded seemingly at all times. I get the feeling that if they know you as a regular, it might be better. As it is most baristas are overworked and underpaid so it's kind of understandable but the coffee could be better for the vibes imo. Vegan chocolate muffin slapped tho read more

Like a coffee shop inside a fancy home library/study. Lots of high backed winged chairs, round wooden tables and low lamp lighting. Power strips galore! Clearly a great place to study and work. The Scarlet Letter (Mexican mocha) is delightful. Sounded like I would be overwhelmingly sweet, but it was not. Well made and well balanced flavors. Real whipped cream, also not overly sweet. The Honey Latte is also not very sweet at all, but a very clear honey flavor. Would definitely order both of these again. read more

Stopped by hear while walking around the area for the Austin studio tour (definitely look into that!). It was a chilly day so stopping in for a coffee sounded like a great idea, and it was! They have a lot of fairly unique options, especially for their mochas. I was tempted, but felt autumnal so got a pumpkin spice latte. This, however, tasted pretty differently from other PSLs, in a good way. It tasted much more like a pumpkin pie. I just wish they were closer so I could go back and try more of their coffees! The cafe itself is also a great place to work/study, with ample seating and outlet access (and not too loud, even though it was pretty full). read more

The best little neighborhood spot -- open 24/7 and has delicious coffee of all kinds as well as a variety of food. The pizza they source is very mediocre but everything else, especially the dark chocolate peanut butter cup, is excellent. The service is wonderful and your pup is sure to be treated as royalty.

Looking to study somewhere with dark academia vibes? This location of Bennu is your place! They are open 24-7 which is perfect if you have a lot of work to get done. Even better, they have plenty of charging cables (coming down from the ceiling no less). Their mochas are my go to and so so so delicious. Their parking lot can get full but there is street parking available. They also get pretty busy during midterm season so it might be hard to find an empty table but there are usually seats open if you don't mind joining some strangers. read more

I love Bennu! It is open 24 hours a day and makes for a great study spot. There's plenty of seating and outlets everywhere. The coffee is great too! I have gotten the Ice Bennu if I want something cold and their mochas are delicious hot - the Pride and Prejudice is my favorite with some oat milk. One note though is the wifi is done by a code and is good for 3 hours at a time with a purchase. read more

If you're looking for a cafe to do work, this is a great one. There's dim lighting, outlet cords hanging from the ceiling, plenty of seating, and the coffee is great! I also loved the large servings. The only thing that really bothered my was the music from the speakers. I hated it actually. It can be quite annoying, so I recommend taking noise cancelling headphones. The music is techy and loud. The cafe also serves sandwiches, pizzas, tamales, and pastries! read more

very yummy coffee but finding a table to study and do work here can be challenging at times. also the wifi password only lasts for 3 hours, so if your planning on extending that amount of time you might need to get another code or use a hotspot. but other than that the employees are very kind and helpful :) read more

The iced matcha latte with almond milk was decent but not the best I've had. They only offered it in 16 oz size. The service was friendly and nice. However, the cashier did ask very loudly if I wanted to tip which gave me a lot of pressure. I was not the biggest fan of the interior design. It was dark and gloomy. They did have an outdoor seating, but their staff members did frequently take cigarettes smoke breaks outside. They offered free wifi, but they gave me a code for it that would only last 3 hours for 1 device only. The code was different for each person. read more
