This coffee shop is too cool! Whether you're meeting a friend, or just need a place to get some time to yourself, the atmosphere is perfect. Tucked away in a cute little area near the old Highland Mall (currently ACC area), there's plenty y of parking and lots of room to spread out once you get inside. I love the innovative drinks and the food won't disappoint. read more

Bennu Coffee - My favorite corner at Bennu. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

This coffee shop is one of my favorites in the "mid-town"/North Central area. It's perfect for business meetings and study groups. There is plenty of tables and chairs, and the music isn't super loud like other coffee shops. Not to mention Bennu is open 24hrs. Their special drinks make a non-coffee drinker want to start drinking coffee. All of the drink are themed. Ask for new drink creations. Last week I had a Vampire Barbie spritz drink and it was fantastic! read more

Ordered the The Raven. A big fan of dark chocolate, so this mocha was very refreshing. Very cute how all of the drinks are named after books / series'. The ambiance is great as well -- they have classic 80s music playing 24/7. In addition, this cafe is open all hours which allows for late night or even all-nighters. ** Important to note that the wifi here is limited to a 3 hour window and you need to ask the cashier for the unique code once you purchase your drink. read more

Very busy coffee shop! The place is huge but due to popularity a little hard to find seats at first! I had a lavender iced latte and the hubby had a regular iced latte. Both our drinks were ok. read more

I went in, asked for a simple drink and the male taking my order was rude and unprofessional. He told me "This isn't Starbucks so tell me what you want"... All I asked for was a caramel macchiato. I then proceeded to describe the drink to him, and he told me he did not know how to make it, so I switched up my order to a latte, which was horrible. Disappointed would be an understatement, I will not be back at this location. read more

The quintessential ATX coffee shop - and we have many! Bennu knows how it's done and is THE standout 24-hr hang in the ATX! Incredible coffee, chill atmosphere, wonderful baristas & the wifis. Perfect place to get work done or have a catchup with a friend. Always stop by, even just to say hi! read more

This is a cool area by the Highland ACC campus that i didn't know existed. Came here specifically to get a Mexican hot chocolate which wasn't great but I've had Bennu coffee before which has always been good. The coffee shop is open 24 hours which is a plus. It is very spacious with plenty of seating. There are areas to study and also areas to lounge. Looks like they also had a food menu if you plan to stay awhile and get hungry. read more

This is my go to study spot these weeeks as finals approaches as it's the only place I've found here open 24/7! That alone makes this place need to be protected because they're so rare and SUCH a necessity when you can't get work done at home and need to get out and get some work done. The ambience is perfect because everyone inside really seems to be focused on getting work done and there is seating outside for people wanting to chat. There is plenty of seating inside though it can get quite full even at 11am, you just gotta wait 5 min and something will open up though. Coffee selection is decent, and the baristas are super kind. The three hour WiFi rule is worth it, definitely should support local business especially rare ones that stay open so late! You've got to street park which is the only downside. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the aesthetics and seating of this cafe! The coffee is pretty good, affordable, and customizable. The Pecan Larry cold brew was not bad, as it's just an unsweetened version of the Iced Bennu. I appreciate that they keep their lattes sub $4 and that the drinks are made very promptly. I saw some food/snack options too. The cafe itself is a great place to work/study. It has a couple of tables for a group of max 4, and plenty of spots for 2. It has good cafe music, plenty of outlets, a comfortable temperature, water on tap, wifi (for 3 hrs), and clean bathrooms. Parking is free. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is Bennu's newer, larger location right next to the revamped ACC campus. Open 24 hours and filled with lots of tables and seating, it's an ideal spot to work, study or for a late night coffee if you're in the area and need a pick me up. Coffee is well prepared at Bennu. Their syrups are a little bit sweeter than what I've come to prefer, but overall they're pretty good. Staff on one occasion was as friendly as a rock. On another occasion, very warm and welcoming. I suppose the experience you get depends on who's working and how tired / energized they are. Because I have to wake up early for work I can't say I'll be able to enjoy the night owl experience, but I always appreciate a place that tries to be available during extended hours. Thanks for existing Bennu! read more

Reasonable and friendly staff at all hours. The drink drinks are not bad but the greatest amenity is that it's 24 hours. The tables and chairs kind of suck and not every seat has an outlet. read more

WOW! THIS PLACE IS SO NICE !! The chairs are quite comfy, the coffee is very tasty, the atmosphere is very conducive to working. Whoever interior decorated this place is a genius, every angle is beautiful to look at. It feels like you are in a modern, more hip study that every mansion has, which (at least for me) drives my productivity. As for the coffee, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, I got the Iced Bennu - tasted great, a bit sweet for my liking but kept me awake :). My only complaint is that the wifi only lasts for 3 hours, unless you buy another drink. read more

I've loved going to Bennu coffee downtown to study so I'm thrilled to have a location a lot closer to me. It's a similar vibe, but definitely a lot more spaced out. They have dividers for the communal tables and have ample space between the smaller tables. The people seemed friendly and the coffee is alright! Tip: parking is easy with a parking garage around the corner read more

This place is such a vibe -- great coffee, quiet productive space and it's open 24*7 -- what else do you need from a coffee shop? They also have all-gender washrooms and a cute fortune jar where patrons leave a fortune and take a fortune written by someone else -- if that isn't the Austin Vibe idk what is! read more

This is by far one of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. It checks off all the boxes of good coffee, aesthetic interior, kind service, and am unbeatable operating hours of 24 hours. I've always loved the Bennu Coffee franchise and have been hopping between their 2 older locations in Downtown Austin. But this Highland one really outdid itself. I love the library aesthetic with the plants, bookshelf, and the couches. It really gives this place such a cozy ambiance that makes it great place to study. The lighting here is great during the daytime and just right even in the butt crack of night at 3/4am in the morning. My go to order here is always the Iced Bennu with Whip Cream. This is always my recommendation for first timers because it is one of their signature drinks that has just the right balance of espresso and cream. It's neither too sweet or too bitter and it will most definitely keep you going for a good while. The staff here is also extremely sweet. They work around the clock to keep this place running and whether you are here at 3pm or 3am, the quality of the service does not change. I came here today and I just asked about a Matcha lemonade which is not on the menu and the staff was so sweet and experimented with some recipe and the drink was delicious. Some tips if you do plan on studying here, bring headphones!! The music does tend to be on the louder side and there tends to be a lot of people so the noise level is a bit high if you need to focus, come prepared to block out some noise. They did recently start to implement a wifi-code system where you can connect up to 3 devices per code for around 3 hours. I would recommend having all your friends connect to one code and cycle through each of them as you stay. read more

Bennu Coffee - the interior of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great spot to study and get work done! The baristas are nice and the ambiance is very calm. The earl gray and English breakfast teas were tasty and freshly brewed. One of my favorite coffee shops due to the 24 hour access. read more

I hate to give this place a one star because I love their seating options and the fact that it is open 24/7 ... but WHAT A SCAM !! You only get 3 hours of Wi-Fi per purchase. You only get a code when you purchase something but then it kicks you off after 3 hours and you have to purchase something else to get a new code. HOW DISAPPOINTING for someone who has a lot of work to do and not a lot of money :((( read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! Where do I even begin? First of all A++ on the ambiance and plethora of seating. Wifi is available with a purchase and runs out after a few hours so you will need to purchase something every few hours which is great because their menu is amazing! From teas and seasonal coffee favorites to kombuchas and matcha lattes, you will not be lacking in drink choices for every season. The food options are delicious and creative! This was my first time trying a bagel dog that comes with cream cheese or mustard. The lighting and decor inside are warm and give an old library feel. I will definitely be back here and am Bringing friends next time! read more

A popular work or study space! It can be packed. I came here on a weekday afternoon and the parking garage was pretty full. Luckily this coffee house is huge with tons of seating areas. Many with outlets and lighting. As expected, you need to make a purchase to get a wifi code. I think it last 3 hours and it makes sense since it's right next to ACC's mega campus. I've had their mochas which is kind of their thing since they have an entire menu of mocha drinks. The Don Quixote was alright but like boba you have to mix it throughly to get the intended taste. Another time I had a chai but couldn't really taste the spice at all so a pass on that. Service is friendly. They have pastries as well and even macaroons. It's open 24/7 and they have AC so you can't beat that! read more

Bennu Coffee - Pick up area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really want to give them a five star because I love the ambiance there. It's big, open space, each person has a lot of table room to work with. And it's open 24/7! But two things I didn't like: 1) all of their beverages are in to-go cups, even if you sit in the cafe. For me, those cute coffee mugs are an important part of the coffee shop experience. 2) the wifi cuts off after 3 hrs like other reviews said. My phone had really bad signal there so I decided to leave quickly after that. Also there aren't much food to choose from. The cashier rushes you to place an order. read more

Love the ambiance of this place, so beautiful in my opinion. Has a home feel to it. The service is great and the coffee is good! It is right next to acc so it is usually packed every time I go. You do have to buy something for a 3 hour Wi-Fi pass and if you want more time you buy something else. It is typically packed but not loud- perfect amount of noise for studying for me. I love to study late and this is a great place to do so- there are many people that stay after 12 so it feels safe as well. You do have a parking garage to park in. I've had no problems leaving late and walking in garage. read more

Hands down, this is the best coffee shop in Austin when you really need to get some studying or work done. Ample outlets, lots of space to spread out, however, the drinks and pastries here are not the best. Each order you place gets you a Wifi code that is good for three hours. The items on the menu are all pretty reasonably priced and the staff are friendly! My one gripe about this place is that some of the chairs are pretty uncomfortable, and if you come on a weeknight the place is packed with students and it can be hard to find a table. read more

Great Room. My chair had a collapsed seat and the arm was coming out of the back. Other chairs made a huge screech every time I got up or sat down. * * * Great Bagel Dog. Cloying unpleasant white mocha. Mocha is the house specialty here. Stellar Coffee in the Food Trailer Court at South First and Dittmar is the Queen of Mocha in Austin. Bennu's mocha was not even nice to drink. * * * Great sockets. The room feels nice. Bennu's beats the nearest competing coffee shop Which is the problematic Kick Butt Coffee. (Kick Butt was a good place once upon a time ....) * * * So if you are near ACC, Bennu's is the place to go. If you have some mobility, go down Airport to Sa-Ten Go West to Monkey's Nest or Or just go on to the East Side for a long list of fine coffee places. If you are at Bennu's anyway, Stick to straight espresso. read more

The coffee and drinks are decent, nothing extraordinary but the atmosphere makes up for it! This is the best place if you're trying to do school or work and don't mind a little noise in the background. This is my go-to coffee shop to get assignments done especially since its 24/7! There are so many seats and its comfortable compared to other coffee shops. Drinks and food are also priced decently. You get 3 hours of wifi per purchase. 4/5 Drinks 4/5 Price 4.5/5 Ample Seating 4/5 Noise Level 5/5 Parking 5/5 Atmosphere read more

Great venue and vibe for studying, reading, doing quiet and independent activities. The interior design makes you feel a bit stoic. There is a lot of space to sit alone, not as many if you are with a group of people. I don't recommend this location for a social gathering, moreso for independent working. The biggest concern for this location is that you must purchase an item to get an individual code to use the wifi that only lasts 3 hours. I understand it is a business and needs inflow of money, but if you are on a budget and need to study for several hours, I would recommend elsewhere. I have gone here several times to read for the vibe as it is quiet. read more

Found this place to be one of the best cafes to work and study at in ATX! 1. There's tons of space to sit and work at. 2. They have a lot of coffee drink options and their own specialties. 3. Parking is pretty easy to find on the street. 4. Love the layout and the turquoise & details of the cafe! read more

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

Bennu Coffee is a small clean coffee shop strategically located across the street from the Austin Community College (ACC) in Highland (North Austin). It sits on the first floor on Five-two Apartments. Bennu Coffee offers several different coffee option to include hot and iced drinks. Additionally, it has some food items to take care of your hunger cravings during the breakfast, lunch and early dinner hours. Items on the menu include sandwiches and breakfast burritos. There is ample free parking to park your car and many chairs to sit to include inside or outside seating. Bennu Coffee is pet friendly so you can have your best friend with you as you relax in the outside seating area. You can take your pet inside when you order. I am not sure about other type of pets coming from the reptile side of this planet, but dogs are good to go. Many people stop, buy some coffee, grab a chair and log onto their personal laptops using the free Wi-Fi provided by Bennu. The bathrooms are gender neutral and very clean. The barista's are friendly, quick, and efficient. They can have your order in just a couple of minutes faster than some drive thru restaurants. The only thing I can think that is a negative are the hours. Currently they are only open 7 AM to 5 PM. The coffee is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. The next time you are looking for a place to relax in a nice and clean atmosphere, stop by Bennu Coffee for a while and enjoy your day. Thank-you Bennu for calling Austin home and for being a good neighbor in Highland across from the ACC. read more

This was such a lovely place! A friend recommended that we meet here. The aesthetic was on point (huge space, tons of seating, a book wall, Lorde playing on the speakers). I didn't try any of their homemade beverages but instead got a kombucha, so I can't speak to the tastiness of their wares, but I was very pleased with the whole situation, from parking (easy! in a garage) to the ambiance. read more

Probably one of the most creative coffee places I've visited! Every one of their drinks is named after famous booked. Loved the creativity & ambiance. There were bookshelves and areas for students to study. Open 24/7, I wish there was one of these by my area when I was a student. I would return to try new flavors! I appreciated their combos. read more

As David Rose of Schitt's Creek would say, "I'm OBSESSED." It's my favorite coffee shop in Austin after my first visit today. Best (and cheapest) matcha I've ever had. Normally when you get to the end of the drink, the matcha is chunky and needs to be re-mixed but it wasn't the case with theirs. They also had the greatest environment inside and the staff was so upbeat and kind. Check out the photos to see the space. I love the 15-20 ft ceilings and huge windows so you can see the sky and live oaks outside. The area is also really safe and I felt totally comfortable walking around outside. read more

Best news of 2020!! Newest location of the local coffee joint Bennu's, is off Airport in the Highland ACC mixed-use residential area! OF COURSE, Excellent espresso and coffee products, yummy food & sweets from local bakeries & friendly (experienced) baristas. I stepped inside and forgot some of the bustle of life, with the modern-industrial vibe, music, relaxing blue/green & wood color palette, colorful oil paintings from local artists, and SO MUCH SPACE!!! HUGE indoor area with multiple seating "zones" - so plenty of space for social distancing. Furnished like a turn-of-the-century Library or English Study, with brass table lamps on wooden desktops (seperated by unobtrusive plexiglass,) vintage books, potted plants & built-in bookcases, stocked with games & reading materials. Social-distancing floor stickers have a QR code with the menu on it! Inside: Couch / Loveseats & Comphy chairs by bookshelves in a Living Room type arrangement. Long bartop w/ lamps facing the outside, Desktops with power & USB plugs, round dining room tables, brass café tables, & bench seating along the back walls. Outside: Covered Patio with bistro tables, another section with lawn furniture. It's located directly across from ACC greenspace with individual outdoor chairs, picnic tables, shaded decks under large Oak Trees, & a grassy area for pets & people. It's a tiny new street on the corner of Highland Campus Blvd, so look for the Violet pipe-art thing, across from Brewtorium, just east of Airport... or venture into the commercial area until you see the grove of trees on Jacob Fontaine. Hats off to opening a new location in the middle of a pandemic, and creating a safe environment for us to start venturing back into the world. read more

Located in a super college friendly area, this is the place to go if you need to get work done. The entire space is designed for good work flow and it's large and airy like a library. The coffee is just average. Their Mochas list is actually quite good, though I think the heavy flavorings do a lot as it tasted like I was just drinking chocolate milk as opposed to coffee that has some chocolate flavoring. Their pastries are really good though. Hands down some of the best college town cafe croissants I've ever had. The counter staff are also nice and super patient. I really appreciated them not being (or at least not showing) any annoyance with me since I was unintentionally being kind of complicated and wishy washy with my order. TLDR: it's a great place if you're trying to get work down with the added benefit of nice people to chat with and coffee/good pastries. If your just here for the coffee, know that the blend itself is average and anything flavored may erase the taste of coffee. read more
