Cool coffee spot located near downtown that is open 24 hours. When we first walked in we weren't sure what to expect but it was packed! Lots of people were working or doing school work, there's a good amount of tables and seating and almost all spots were filled. They have a wide variety of drinks, snacks, and food to choose from. The cool thing is that they're open 24 hours so if you're ever wanting a late night coffee or snack, you know where to come.

Nice cozy coffee cafe that is open 24 hours! They have a great selection of coffee, desserts, and sandwiches.

I like this place! I've came in off and on for four years, and I really like the location.

Chai

Ordered a chai mid walk around the river and it was a great thirst quencher alongside some water. It is a pretty mellow chai, not super spicy. The ice is cool and "ground". I like the ambiance inside. Not too busy in a Friday morning!

Kicking it at this spot in Austin. It's a cool 24 hour spot but nothing fancy about it on purpose. It has a grunge feel that I dig. Only pause is they gave me warm coffee. I guess that comes with being 24 hours. Great place to grab a book and do some reading. I'll be back when I'm back in town.

Oatmilk iced vanilla latte

Walked here yesterday from the bbq place up the street. Not a lot of people know how to make a good cup of coffee but this place does AND it's open 24/7 which is lovely. I ordered an oatmilk iced vanilla latte. It gave like speakeasy vibes,very 2000's.

The camera really can't capture how unpleasant the lighting is lol

This used to be my go to coffee shop to study at, until I realized it actually sucks for that lol. It's lit horribly at night with very dim overhead ceiling fans that create an unpleasant feel. It's always really muggy, warm, and almost humid inside. It's like it doesn't get enough air circulation. They never have enough outlets and some don't even work. The prices on their menus are outdated and things always cost a dollar or more when you actually get rang up. The baristas play the most horrible music, making it difficult to study even with noise cancelling headphones. The cute long hair blonde guy that plays ambient music is cool though . Most of the baristas are insufferable, complaining all shift (loudly). Their WiFi is also really slow and sometimes it doesn't even work for me at all. All in all, every time I come here to study, I sit down for 10-15 minutes and then realize I'd rather be at home. Lol. Their coffee is pretty good though, straightforward and not too expensive. I'd just order to go and then take it somewhere else. The other Bennu locations are way nicer to actually sit at.

This is as Austin as it gets, a 24/7 coffee shop with mismatched chairs and furnitures, light music and an extensive coffee menu. The wifi is protected and you need to ask for a code when you order. It was pretty quiet and with free spots on a Wednesday at 9:30am so I'm assuming it's still somehow a little bit of a "secret" spot.

It's cold in here!

my favorite place on earth? Quite possibly. I love the vibe here. The cozy seats and places to work. Three hours of Wi-Fi included with any purchase staff here are all amazing and the service is super accommodating if you're unhappy with your drink or order... Or even if somebody else grabs yours by mistake. I'm all about the chai latte when I come here. But I've also tried the Italian cream, sodas and mocha. Also, good parking can be tricky depending on the time of day... And they're open and unbelievable 24/7!

Where else are you going to get espresso at 3am? Seriously, if you want Real Coffee at some crazy hour of the morning, this is pretty much the only game in town... (And yeah, the coffee isn't bad!)

Pride and prejudice

Great customer service! Love the atmosphere. It was packed so that must mean everyone comes here.

First visit to this place- love that it is 24hours. Chill vibe and amazing coffee, what more could you ask for?

Kathleen M.

This is a very convenient location just off of Congress and offers free parking for customers, which is always appreciated in this area of Austin! Based off of how many people were working/studying remotely here, it seems like they have a pretty steady customer base who takes advantage of this location, the parking, WiFi, and coffee/food options. I stopped in for a quick coffee and, after asking about the various specialty drinks, ultimately decided to try the Honey Cloud Latte. While the coffee itself offers two shots of espresso, I found the drink to be incredibly weak and the espresso too watered down. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough flavor as a result and the entire drink was a bit lackluster. While the service was great and the employee was very helpful, I don't think I'll come back for the coffee. They do offer various pastries, sandwiches, macaroons, etc., but there are better coffee shops in Austin as far as the coffee itself is concerned. If you're looking for a great place to work or study remotely, this seems to be a popular location and they (per the signs) just ask that you purchase an item, which is a reasonable request. Prices are also not unreasonable for the location. The seating and chairs were spaciously arranged and it wasn't overwhelming for sound. All in all, this is a casual coffee shop to comfortably come and stay a while, but if you like a bold espresso, keep looking. They do offer other options, so maybe check out one of those!

Unfortunately, the kitchen just wasn't on their game this day. We went for brunch and it is a lovely restaurant with some amazing looking pastries. My ratings of the food we got are below. Overall, everything was just okay and not something I would order again. Our order: Salami and cheese - 1/10, not even edible with how much olive oil they dumped on it. Hard cheese and meat. None of us touched it. Frites - 9/10, hard to go wrong here. Nice and crispy French cruller - 7/10, I think this is just personal presence here I wished it was warmed up. Flavor was good but it was a little dry. Burger - 5/10, the flavor is there and definitely has potential but it was so bloody and rare which is not what we asked for. My friend has a gluten allergy and she asked for the burger lettuce wrapped and it just came on top of a huge chunk of iceberg so wouldn't recommend that if you want it lettuce wrapped. Chicken sandwich - 8/10, this was good with a nice crispy chicken. It could have used something sweet to balance the spice though it was a little one dimensional.

Upon entry was greeted by Melissa and sat in her section. The decor is very diner type with low, cozy booths and few tables and chairs. Not too big of a space and not sure if there is more seating elsewhere. Anyhoo, coffee was good and I got the Royal toast and a single pancake with eggs, and sausage. Ample amount of food and def had take away box. Everything was tasty and the buttermilk pancake was amazing with just syrup. Melissa was kind enough to provide little cups to take syrup home along with the tael away container. They had a daily special and a board above the kitchen with other items. Really wanted to try a slice of pie ( TX Pie Co) but seems a bit outta line with what I already ordered. Maybe next time.

I drove by it for 20 years on the way to Avenue Barber Shop. I wanted shredded beef tacos but couldn't get them without cilantro so I chose shredded beef enchiladas (with an $8!) side of chips and salsa. My wife ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries. She requested soft eggs, as she always does because too many places overcook them. The chips and salsa arrived. I was immediately disappointed. The menu said "we make our own chips." They were thick and yellow and appeared to be run-of-the-mill, out-of-a-bag chips. I prefer the thin white ones. I took one bite of salsa, and that was one bite too many. Cumin. I pushed it all aside. Cumin doesn't belong in salsa. (Sorry. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley.) My enchiladas came with black beans, and there was cumin in them. Cumin is overused and abused in most restaurants. I couldn't eat them. The rice was good but the chipotle sauce on the enchiladas was not. I scraped most of the sauce off and ate one enchilada, mainly because I just needed something in my stomach. We were still 45 miles from home. I pushed my plate away. I also ordered coffee. One sip of that was all I could stand. Too weak for me. It gets worse, much worse. My wife's eggs were barely cooked. She asked the waiter for some cooked eggs. He took her plate and returned about four minutes later. The eggs were still not cooked. She tried another bite but couldn't eat them. Her bacon was tough as a boot and not chewable. The home fries were average, but by the time her plate arrived at our table for the second time, they were cold. I pulled my card out waiting for our excellent server to return. He asked how everything was (he had to notice two plates still covered with food) and we politely told him. I ate one enchilada and some rice. My wife had two bites of egg and two bites of potato. He apologized and handed me the check. $65. Nothing comped and nothing adjusted. A manager should've been summoned. How does a place like this have any customers? It was our first and last visit.

Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good?

It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.
