Amazing coffee, food and ambience! Parking wasn't too bad and I loved how huge the place was, good charging options and comfy seating. I tried the tamales here which were great as well as their iced coffee. Definitely recommend coming here to study! read more

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

I was walking as a visitor for the first time to Austin and happen to see this coffee shop. Upon walking in, the two baristas just looked at me as if I didn't belong. Didn't greet me or ask me what I wanted. Sorry, but none of the pastries looked appealing they actually looked stale. I'm glad I didn't purchase anything. I went down the street to a better restaurant. Maybe others are used to subpar service, but I wouldn't let that slide. A big thumbs down I am also confused by the good reviews. Don't waste your money or time here. I hope there are better coffee shops near by but it may not be that is why they get away with stuff but maybe go down the street to sour duck ‍ read more

I was driving through town looking for a coffee shop. Stumbled across this one. They have a lot of mochas. Maybe that's their speciality? Maybe that's where I went wrong. I ordered the iced Bennu. Said it was similar to a iced Vietnamese coffee? With evaporated milk and sugar. I was pretty bummed it tasted like fake sugar. Had that weird after taste in your mouth after each sip. They are open 24/7 which is cool. Maybe I'd just get a mocha or chai next time if I do come back read more

I was all ready to come on here and give Bennu Coffee a 4* review after stopping in on a Friday night to have an espresso. It was pretty good! But tonight, Saturday, I went back and decided to try their regular coffee. It wasn't hot enough. I didn't realize until after I left, so nothing the staff could have done. Staff seems super friendly so I'm sure they would have figured something out to help me, but it's pretty disappointing to get a coffee and have it not be the proper temperature. I know it was 8pm and there's not a lot of black coffee being sold, so they probably hadn't brewed it in awhile. But a 24 hour coffee shop should be constantly brewing new coffee or using properly insulated containers, which I felt like it wasn't. I hope it's just an isolated incident, but I have a feeling if it's nighttime their coffee just won't be hot unless I happen to come in right after it's brewed. Hopefully the owner can address this oversight. read more

Had amazing iced coffee with light ice, heavy cream, and hazelnut flavor :) It was of excellent quality. I was very pleased and satisfied. Support the local businesses!! I love the environment. It was packed of people on their laptops- probably studying or working. Very casual and comfortable environment. Great place to catch up with friends too. And hey, it's 24/7!! Wow. read more

Some of my best and most thoughtful work started here before launching my business. On a 'study date' with a girlfriend, We hunkered down- laptop to laptop - focusing on our goals and how to achieve them. This was the nice sort of hipster environment with slightly rundown furniture, that I like to be in when getting real work accomplished. Yes!! As for "the eats," I had a beefy hot dog wrapped in a pretzel and a tamale. I let staff choose the flavor of tamale as I had enough decisions to make already and was "in the zone" typing like wild fire by the time I was hungry. Would recommend everything here! read more

Ample parking and fairly fast service. I wasn't very impressed with the cheese danish, green tea or breakfast taco I got. But it has ample space inside to grab a bit or meet someone to chat. read more

24 hours is so sick. coffee is good. it's a very quiet studying vibe. excellent for grinding out some work. not so much for a hang w friends. but that's what a 24 hour coffee shop should be. i like this place. read more

Great coffee - open for to go and the baristas are really nice. There is cool, thought provoking artwork inside to look at while you wait. They had someone outside making sure we were registered to vote and I really appreciated that. We all loved our coffees and enjoyed them over by the bridge nearby while looking at the view of Lady Bird and the city. read more

Went to Bennu's on Saturday around 5ish, only pickup is available, no dine in yet, ample parking, you have go inside, it would have been nice if they had a drive thru/pickup window. No one was there other than a lady behind the counter, we ordered cappuccino, coffee and frappe. I wanted a frappe without any coffee/caffeine, when asked, got to know they add cold brew coffee to all oF there frappe, but lady at the barista made it without it for my kid. My husband liked his coffee, my kid frappe but cappuccino was a disaster, it had a weird after taste, way too bitter, dunno it was there beans, roasting or overly extracted espresso but couldn't drink more than 2sips. Service was good! read more

Let me preface this review by saying, I'm NOT a coffee person. Coffee all tastes the same to me, no matter the additives. But I came here with my spouse last year as a spur of the moment, after dinner treat. Yknow, the cup of coffee we as Hispanics drink after dinner. But anyways, we took some friends there and since it was in the middle of winter, a hot cup of coffee was exactly what we wanted. But ever since, we continue to come back. And everytime we come back, we buy a bag of coffee beans to take back home. I really really really wanted to rate this place 5 stars but sadly my "all coffee tastes the same" bias gets in the way of that. It all just... tastes the same. So I can't in good heart, rate it 5 stars. The baristas are nice, the place is quiet, and the prices are well priced. It's clean and has wonderful local art for sale. The coffee is served quickly and they are generous with the whipped cream. read more

Really cute coffee shop with awesome and kind staff!! 24 hours and large seating area make it great for studying.

I came to Bennu three to four times a week during my first month in Austin. The coffee'spassable but the environment was conducive for work. I don't mind that you have to make a purchase to get wifi card (there's a sign on the door that tells you one purchase minimum) as I would often stay for hours, working away. Today, however, after I had worked for three hours the wifi expired and they refused to refresh my wifi without purchasing another item. Their sign on the door says a one purchase minimum, which I had made, but in addition to that they want you to buy something every 3 hours you stay in the store to use wifi. I get that as a customer you should pay to use their space, but limiting the time that you can use a fixed cost resource when the capacity isn't even close to full? That really rubbed me the wrong way. I spent generally around $10-18 per visit just to be denied wifi access after 3 hours? For context, that's $240/mo. at 3 times per week. This is $70 more per month than a wework membership which allows you access to high-end coworking locations across the country, with wifi, printing, unlimited coffee and many other benefits included. Even if I were to just look at the coffee prices, they aren't cheaper than other shops in Austin - all of which I've visited, provide free wifi (without mandating a purchase). read more

This place makes a great dirty chai (aka a chai tea with a shot of espresso)! If you're looking for a place to read and study, I think this may be your place. I stopped in after a walking down south Congress and was blown away with the number of people quietly working away. There's lots of tables and chairs inside and even some space outside to sit and relax. The man at the counter was very friendly as was the person making my drink. Bottom line: Would a return for the chill vibes and delicious chai! read more

A great little find in Austin! Locally owned and operated 24/7 Coffee Shop. They advertise breakfast but think pastries and packaged sandwiches vs. bacon and eggs. I had two tamales which were really delicious. They steamed them to heat them rather than using a microwave​ so the texture was very good. I got a Mexican Mocha. I'm not a big fan of Mocha's but this was really off the hook! Delicious, complex flavor and a far cry from a regular mocha that tastes like chocolate syrup​ dumped in coffee​. I got a bagel dog to go for lunch which was really tasty too. You can't really see Benu from the street once you pass the intersection. It's in a really small corner mall. There is a traffic light at the corner, so start looking for it when you're at the light. Definitely someplace I'd like to go again when I have some time to hang out for a while. I liked the laid-back, friendly employees. read more

Love the late night study aspect of this coffee shop super grateful for that, but sometimes I come here and the music is so off putting and loud that I can hear it through my noise cancelling headphones & hear my lectures. I think a simple chill lofi or coffee shop playlist would suffice instead of weird booming trippy club music for studying or other times loud pop read more

I've been coming here for years. Overall they have great coffee and I like the ambience. I specifically like this place because it's not too loud but it's not too quiet. You can have a meeting but also you can do work. read more

In most respects, I like Bennu. The coffee is great, there's always seating, and it's not super loud. HOWEVER. One of the employees is just lazy, slow, and rude. A few days ago, there was nobody at the counter, so I stepped over to look into the office. He saw me, and actually rolled his eyes. When he put my order on the counter, I asked if I could get a to-go bag instead, and again, he rolled his eyes, and haphazardly dropped the items into the bag. This is not the first time I've had an interaction like this with him. That was enough to make me decide that I'm not purchasing from here anymore. read more

This place is so fkn delicious! Me and my girl rolled in here around 3am and had a great conversation with Stefan(: Not only was he one of the sweetest souls I've ever come across at this late hour he was so helpful and gave us some samples to make sure we would like what we ordered. I ended up getting the recommended Bennu iced coffee and it did not disappoint. The reality is I don't really care for coffee but this iced coffee had me changing my mind in the best way. And Stefan's customer service and delicious drinks has made this a hit for us read more

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

Went to meet up with a friend I haven't seen in years to catch up. The atmosphere, at 11am was more quiet and conducive to having a beautiful coffee and working on a laptop alone, but it may be louder earlier in tthe morning during the coffee rush.... Check out the Mocha Menu! It reads like a wine list of sweet desserty deliciousness. Sometimes you can go into these cool downtown adjacent coffee shops and feel intimidated, but the woman at the counter, as well as the barista, couldn't have been more pleasing, helpful and patient. I asked for a cinnamon latte and although they didn't have cinnamon syrup, they had suggestions galore! I ended up doing a toffee nut syrup and they put cinnamon on top. It was WONDERFUL!!! My friend enjoyed her Raven mocha so much, too! The furniture is a little hodgepodge but the place was charming and had a cute snapchat worthy walll behind the counter. (Pictured) Finally, I must say, I was shocked that this close to downtown there was an ACTUAL PARKING LOT! I drove in from the burbs, so not having to deal with the whole meter sitch in the 42 degree weather was so nice! read more

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

Love Bennu! Staff is awesome! Had the chance to meet the owners as well! Good people, good coffee, cool place to hang out.

Bennu is right next to my work so I have a lot of meetings here and when I need a caffeine fix is the easiest place to grab a cup of coffee. But I really am just not much of a fan of some of their drinks. I think their specialty drinks are good if you're on the younger side and can tolerate the extra sugar (the raven is pretty good or the great gatsby). But if you're like me and outgrown the sugary coffee, the iced bennu is not something I can recommend, even if they cut it in half with just plain iced coffee. It's still sweet but for some reason, half the times I get it here, it tastes like plastic - not a pleasant coffee tasting note. Otherwise, its the type of shop where I can see why people want to work here as there's a lot of tables, spacious, even outdoor area and ok parking. But its also very crowded most days, so be warned... read more

I love this place. the vibes are perfect. Quiet, non distracting jazz and lowlight. Outlets work.

Bennu has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots in Austin! The perfect spot to bring your laptop and get work done while also sipping on an iced coffee. I recommend the Iced Bennu - it's perfectly sweet and smooth, just how I like my iced coffee. They also have a printer on site which is super helpful when in a pinch. There are so many coffee spots to try out in Austin, but I keep ending up back here. read more

Ordered a cappuccino from a barista with ear buds in who, believe it or not, had trouble hearing my order, and I had to repeat myself constantly. Cappuccino was bitter with scalded milk. When I got to the bottom of the cup, I was unpleasantly surprised with a mouthful of espresso grounds. The interior had good energy, and the only reason it gets two stars versus one is because my next stop after my coffee break was a print shop. This location conveniently has a printer for customers to use (for a price). read more

Upon my friends hyping up this place, had to give it a shot. My first experience of Bennu was probably 4 stars when I went in August prior to college starting up again. Reminds me a lot of Epoch Coffee up in the Hyde Park/North Loop area. Nothing super fancy from a decor perspective inside, good place to get some work done or to study for students. Second time: Beginning of September too full no where to sit around 8 pm on a weekday. All the kids are back to school. No fault to Bennu. Can't rate. 3rd time: This is probably a 2 STAR review. Came back a bit later in the night more like 9-10pm ish and was able to share a table with some strangers since it was packed. Service was good as usually. WIFI awfully slow/doesn't even connect since this place was packed like a can of sardines. If you're going to be a 24/7 coffee shop and you know your bound to have a full house during school, gotta make sure your WIFI is able to even handle all of the people. I had to hot spot to even do work on my laptop...ugh I will avoid coming here to do work during peak hours. Pros: quite a bit of seating, not overly priced for their coffee, quick service, open 24/7 Cons: WIFI IS SLOW/DOESNT WORK when it is very crowded; nothing fancy about this place (if you're a coffee snob and enjoy going to coffee shops for a certain ambiance). read more

TLDR: This was the go-to place to charge our phones and also recharge in general during our trip to Austin. Apparently this is the go-to place for students who were studying for exams. It's a 24 hour coffee shop, so that's like the perfect spot. We didn't get to try any of the food or drinks here. We were however extremely drawn to the vibe of this shop, so we stopped by often just to catch our breath before we went back out to explore Austin. It gets high ratings for the vibes! Check it out if you're in Austin. read more

Consistently good coffee with a great selection of mochas. It used to always be fully packed inside but due to covid there's some limitations on indoor seating, however they do have a great patio as well. I love that this is one of the few 24 hour coffee places in town. Great study/work vibe. read more

I like their small business, friendly, and down to earth experience. Coffee is great and being 24 hours is even better! Prices are affordable too, my usual of a vanilla latte is around $4 which can be more expensive at Starbucks. I like that they even do a pretty latte art for to-go orders too. Overall, convenient, quick, great coffee, and affordable, I would definitely frequent this location. read more

Wish they'd go back to 24/7. Business hours notwithstanding, definitely the best work / study friendly option in the area. read more

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

I come here all the time even though every time i am like hm that was very just ok. I think the architecture of the building is just so odd so theres no light in the coffee shop. But everything that they could do with it they did and i do fw the patio. I will not take off a star for building architecture that seems harsh read more

Love, love, love this place. It's a perfect mix of productive, get things done and cozy/chill. Their coffee is DELICIOUS. I typically get one of their specialty mochas (Don Quixote) but their house brews are always tasty too. All the baristas are super nice and helpful. They have a pretty decent amount of food as well. Pizza, sandwiches, tacos and tamales, salad and of course all the baked goods. Even gluten free and vegan options! I absolutely love the gluten free, dairy free lemon poppy seed bread (goes great with the mocha). It's a great place to work as it's typically quiet and relaxed, so I am always super productive and rarely distracted. Lots of outlets too, and substantial seating. I will warn that it's usually packed (parking too) but I always find a seat. People share tables and things open up, so not to fret. And there is also a cute outdoor area, so bring your pups! read more

From the pictures it seems like the quality of coffee you get depends on who is working. I've worked at a coffee bar that roasted and ground our own espresso, hand pressed the drinks, etc. so I like good coffee and I'm not ashamed to be picky about it. The espresso was bitter, ok at best. The foam on my cappuccino was a large amount dumped on top to fill the paper cup. Very frothy, not smooth at all. Possibly (hopefully) someone inexperienced working. Not worth $5 IMO. The decor seemed kind of random. Not sure what vibe they were going for. That said all the staff was friendly and the patio is lovely on nice weather days. read more
