I love Bennu. As pretentious as many parts of Austin are becoming, Bennu, has remained the same & that's a comfort. They have solid food choices which are mostly from vendors, I believe, so there's variety. Weekly, I crave a jalapeño cheddar bagel & they have with their pecan Larry cold brew. The staff are also great, I always enjoy my interactions with them & there's little turnover. Feels like the opposite of the Siren (iykyk). read more

Love that this coffee shop is open 24/7. They have a few specialty mochas and the service is fast. I also love that they serve food late at night. They have pre-made sandwiches, cold pasta, pastries, vegan cupcakes, and a whole list of Hoboken Pie. I ordered a dirty chai latte with soy milk which was very good and a slice of the vegan pizza. Pretty tasty and it even had vegan cheese on it. This spot is very convenient when you're up all night studying or working. The place gets pretty crowded but slowly dies down after 12am. read more

Alas... this one we just couldn't get into. Maybe it's just us but our cappuccino was so bitter. In like an unredeeming, unforgivable sorta way. Cardinal sin in a serious coffee city. read more

Decent coffee, but 24/7 is a great touch. Seemed to be mostly college students inside. Service was pretty good.

Okay, so I looked up 24/7 coffee shops because I was super behind on some work and found Bennu Coffee as my only option. I saw that it was 4.something stars, so I thought, "Might as well," and headed over. So far, so good! It's been a couple of hours since I got here, and it's a pretty nice atmosphere. Outlets everywhere, plenty of seating, fast service, kind workers, etc. It seems to be pretty busy and has been the entire time I've been here. Now onto the food itself. I love matcha, so obviously my go-to was going to be a matcha latte of some sort. The first drink I got was a lavender matcha, and it was a bit too sweet for me. I didn't really like the aftertaste either. 3.5/5. A couple of hours later, I decided to order something to eat and another drink. This time I got a regular matcha (it was slightly better, 3.8/5) and an "el sol rojo" wrap, and OMG, it was so good. Think of a Chipotle bowl but in a wrap--so yummy. Honestly, it was the wrap and the atmosphere that carried this review---otherwise it would've been a 3. read more

My new favorite coffee place, if I ever visit Austin again. They delivered a PERFECT triple 16oz (hot) latte. I'm trying to train myself to say "hot" before they have to ask (and every place asks since this is Texas and they seem quite incredulous that I want a hot drink, but I'm used to it now.) We didn't get to enjoy the full Bennu experience since it was outdoor ordering due to COVID, but a perfect latte is really all I need and am grateful I got that. We will be back tomorrow on our way out of town and I am counting the hours! read more

Always a favorite. I love the mismatch chairs, but sometimes it takes a few to find a really comfy one. The staff is always nice and willing to customize drinks as needed. Try their peanut butter cups. So good, and so rich. Split it with a buddy for minimum tummy aches. read more

Coffee lovers rejoice! In the midst of the current water-pocalypse in Austin, Bennu is still serving delicious coffee! I came here with a friend to study since a lot of the coffee shops (including starbucks!) were not serving drinks due to the water boil notice. Luckily, upon entering, I was happy to see that they had plenty of water jugs lined up. I ordered the Pride and Prejudice and it was pretty tasty. The whole shop has a really cozy vibe, and they aren't gimmicky like some other coffee places. The noise level here was also decent, making it a good place to study. The only weird thing about this place is their playlist - it was a weird mixture of country and pop read more

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

Kind, friendly and caring staff, which sets the tone for the patrons to follow suit. Bennu has a warm, inviting environment and the drinks and food are consistently good. It is truly a gem in the neighborhood, and it is not just a place, but a community. read more

My friend and I were checking out the "You're my Butter Half" mural and spotted this coffee shop right across the street - we were so delighted to find out that it happened to serve delicious coffee! I ordered the Don Quixote, which was a spiced chocolate mocha with whipped cream and Mexican spice powder. It was creamy and decadent (just the right amount of sweet in my opinion) and I got to order it with oat milk too! They offer soy, almond, coconut, and oat milk as non-dairy alternatives, which is great for any of us lactose sensitive folks. :) My friend got the Great Gatsby and I got to try a bit of it, and it tasted amazing too. It was a mocha drink with white and dark chocolate sauces. Super yummy! They have COVID protocols in place right now and this location happened to have an outdoor patio area to sit too. Very cute spot with string lights overhead! Highly recommend this place for its mocha drinks. If you like sweet and creamy coffee, this is the place to go! It also looks to be open 24/7, which is awesome for those who are looking for coffee at any time of day. read more

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

This Bennu location was the gateway to all 2 month long Bennu streak. This was the first Bennu that I have ever been to and it has just gradually turned into my go-to spot, especially when testing season begins. My go-to drink is the Iced Bennu with less ice and whip cream on top. I typically recommend this to friends that likes drinks more on the sweeter side but still needs a caffeine hit if they need to stay awake. And surprisingly, Bennu's pizza is pretty freaking good too, something that I did not expect from a coffee shop. If you want more of a savory flavor, the Gamboa is sooooo good. If you're looking for more of a sweet flavor, then the Torres is the way to go ***Tip: Don't take the drink to-go because the glass cups are larger! And get less ice if you want more of the drink itself. (Goes for both locations) Pros: - It's 24 hours, with lots of tables. - It doesn't break your bank. Most of the drinks and food are a pretty good size. - Nice coffee shop vibes. A really great place to get some work done or to stay awake at night. - They have a printer! If you need to print last minute. - In comparison to the other location, the music is more cafe-vibes. Cons: - If you come during finals week or any busy times, seating can be really hard to find but people are really nice about sharing! - The wifi can either be really slow or really spotty. So if you really need your laptop to get work done, come with a hotspot as a backup. - This location is a lot dimmer than the other location and parking can fill up really quickly so you may have to park across the street. Overall, a great place to study and hang out with good drinks and food. read more

Bennu Coffee is one of the few coffee shops in north East Austin. It's competitive advantage- it stays open late and serves real food! It's a large cafe with tons of seating, free wifi, and food options. I ordered a latte and two slices of pizza. Both were really good. If you need a chill place to unplug, go here! read more

Bennu on early Sunday morning for coffee. Spiced Chili Mocha. One of the best I have ever tried. They have a full mocha menu to work your way through. Jazz playing from a local Austin group. Nice sound and relaxing. Bennu is an ancient Egyptian deity linked with the Sun, creation, and rebirth. He may have been the original inspiration for the Phoenix legends that developed in Greek mythology. My impromptu folding of an origami Phoenix. read more

The best coffee shop I've found in Austin! Lots of outlets, lots of comfy seating, delicious coffee & food, friendly workers, good music -- it's just perfect. There's even a printer inside you can use. The hours are really convenient too. The crowd fluctuates but it's usually not too crowded. Great place to study! read more

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

It's a decent coffee shop, get your Americano for around $3 or Cappuccino for around $4. Same price you'd expect anywhere in town. The vibe was very gloomy. It reminded me of the coffee shop in the show "Friends." Plenty of early morning crowds getting take out to wake themselves and usually a few of the tables taken up by people trying to get work done. My americano was nothing special, but that's what an americano is. My fiance ordered and iced coffee which she said was fine. Given the convenience and proximity to my house, i'll probably be back, but i'm sure there's better coffee in Austin. read more

If you are looking for a late coffee or hot chocolate this is the place I would recommend. It is a 24hr coffee shop located in the MLK Jr. Blvd in Austin, TX. I stopped by while taking pictures of murals around Austin and was ready to drive back an hour to my hotel. It has a bar area beside the tables. read more

I've been to the south congress location but I definitely prefer this one! Parking is sooo easy much easier than youd expect. It's very quiet and cozy inside so you can definitely get a lot of studying done here. Coffee was delicious!! will be coming back soon this will probably be my new go to studying spot read more

Bennu Coffee - Iced Don Quixote - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came here for believe it or not a slice of pizza. They get the pizza from Hoboken Pie. I had just landed after getting off a late flight and had a craving and didn't want to go downtown. I gave 4 starts for the place, ambience, service...3 stars for the pizza. The pizza was reheated pizza done in a toaster oven. It was good because at 2 am my options were severely limited the taste was decent nothing to come back for. I didn't have any coffee, because it was already late. There's plenty of seating, there's WiFi, there's a printer, this a great spot for meetings. This is great if you're looking for something different than Starbucks with a distinct Austin flare to it. I definitely would come back here to try the coffee offerings. read more

Bennu is one of my favorite places to study off campus! The interior is cozy and the coffee is strong. I love that they have a variety of gourmet mochas named after pieces of literature. My go-to mocha is the Pride and Prejudice, which also happens to be one of my favorite classics- aka why I was drawn to ordering it in the first place. read more

I always tip well. They ask you directly here at transaction "Would you like to tip?" You tell them how much. It's counter service. I said yes. Usually love this place but the dry bagel, took a look at it and threw it out. Sad Danny. Oh guess growing up on NYC bagels and a block of cream cheese ON the bagel has me depressed in this insufferable heat. read more

Womp womp, there's no shortage of better coffee shops that offer to warm a croissant, or remember drink orders. (2 drinks)

Another excellent coffee option in my new neighborhood. Ordered online and wasn't able to add stevia or almond milk, but I arrived and the smart barista had waited to make my coffee to make sure it was piping hot and I was able to customize it how I liked. Friendly staff and excellent coffee at an affordable price. I'll be back once it cools down since it's a bit of a walk from my place. Can't wait. read more

Bennu is an east Austin mainstay for great coffee in an eclectic, relaxed atmosphere. This location is open 24/7, so I spent countless all-nighters here in college in their cozy interior and on their patio studying and hanging out with friends. On a recent trip to Austin, we visited on a Saturday morning mans were pleasantly surprised to see that not much has changed. I ordered an iced americano and she had the classic iced bennu, and we shared a delicious croissant. We enjoyed our breakfast on their nice patio, which is great for people watching. Bennu is a must for morning, or even late night, coffee and a great place to hang-out in the area. read more

Such a fun and quirky little spot that's close enough to downtown without the traffic and woes Austin is known for. There is so much space at this spot that you can definitely find a spot to work out of or study. They have very strong wifi and strong coffee (most importantly). You can even grab a small breakfast bite like tacos and bagels. The seats and chairs are all mismatches so that definitely made it fun and kinda challenged you to find one that speaks to you. Althought I grabbed my coffee in a to-go cup as I could only hang out for like twenty minutes, I'm certain I'll be back when I go up to ATX again. read more

In comparison to the other location this one feels a bit more packed and has dinner lighting, but I still love this place. You can see the myriads if college students working hard (or hardly working) here. They have so much variety of chairs and tables and seating so you can pick what is best for you (I myself am a study-with-my-back-to-the-wall kinda person). This would be a good place to group study or cram as the best part is that it is open 24 hrs!! I tried the hibiscus tea here and it wasn't really my favorite.. but I regret not getting one of their speciality drinks because those sounded delish. You can definitely camp out here for a while and the environment is the ample amount of quietness/loudness for maximum productivity. read more

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

Service was very good! I got the lime and punishment with the blackberry flavor added. It was very tasty and kept me going through my study sesh. You have to buy something to get access to the wifi and there was a lot of people on Sunday so the wifi actually had some problems. The code they give you only works for three hours so if you stay longer you have to buy something else as well. Good music and good seating if you can find a spot when get there. read more

I decided to try this place on a whim. I ordered the Great Gatsby mocha which has dark and white chocolate sauces and drizzled with chocolate shavings. It went down so smooth. It was the perfect pick-me-up for these rainy days. I definitely will be back. read more

Bennu Coffee - two hands holding two cups of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! First of all, they are open 24/7. That's a plus when it comes to finals. Second, they have affordable coffee that taste so good! I love how their mocha drinks are named after popular books. For example, Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick, Scarlet Letter. Even just their regular house brewed coffee taste great! My top two drinks I order is the regular hot latte and regular ice coffee with hazel nut syrup! Third, the interior design and atmosphere is perfect for a chill hangout, casual date or just to go study. There are a bunch of tables and seats. However, every time I got there it's always packed so you kind of have to fight for your seat. If you smoke or just love nature they have outdoor seatings too with cute lights hanging outside. Overall I love this place and definitely recommend! read more

Love my don quixote coffee, it always made fresh and perfectly at any time of the day.

Bennu is like the holy grounds for local college students, but I'm not too impressed. Came here evening time and ordered a hibiscus iced tea and espresso vegan cupcake. Both were tasty, but not out of this world. I do appreciate how Bennu offers plenty of drink and treat options though. For the drink and cupcake, I paid around $6-7. Like always, Bennu was pretty crowded so you definitely have to scout for a seat! The interior is a mish-mash of different tables and chairs, but the lighting is kind of dark. Parking can be a hassle since 1) Bennu is always busy and 2) you're limited to a few parking spots and street parking. Overall, it's an typical coffee shop - nothing stands out to me. read more

Cute coffeeshop that serves good coffee and some food options (including slices of Hoboken Pie - even their vegetarian and vegan pies)! Best thing about Bennu? It's open 24/7. Worst? Soooooo crowded. I went for a cup of coffee at 11pm on a WEDNESDAY. During the summer (so it can't have been students studying for finals)! And yet it was PACKED. No tables, no parking. read more

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

This is a really nice coffee shop near campus. The lighting is quite subtle and the layout is organized. They recently shifted everything around so that there's more tables to fit more people studying or chilling here. The music isn't obnoxious like a lot of places I've been to before, the staff are nice, and it's a good place to study at! Speaking to the refreshments, Bennu iced coffee is a go to! It's affordable at $4 and tastes great, coming in a nice tall glass. Definitely something to try for that long night ahead. Also, the pizza is TASTY MAN. I'm usually skeptical of food served at coffee shops but I gave this a go after a friend's rec and dang does it taste nice. Vegan has quite a lot on it and comes at a price of $3.75 per slice, which is quite reasonable. Definitely also worth a try! read more

Came in because I was in search of a 24/7 coffee haven that would keep me awake prior to my ungodly early flight out of AUS. Bennu was exactly what I was looking for...unpretentious little near eastside coffee nook where the seating was plenty, the espresso was strong, and there were enough computer outlets for everyone and anyone to plug-in and charge to their heart's content! The very friendly barista did a great job of giving me what I needed at 2:30am...without judgement. My teabagged dirty Mate was just what I was needing after downing 3 beers earlier and the orange choc chip took the edge off of pulling a literal "all nighter". I loved that there is an eclectic hodge podge of seating options (from barstools, to an array of office chairs, to hightop tables, to couches that look like engorged beanbags of comfy quicksand) and the people to match. I honestly think this place is the best overall demographic representation of the city of Austin I have ever seen encompassed in a single space! The wifi is free (there is a one purchase minimum, but c'mon, you seriously gonna freeload in a place that has the equivalent of 101 flavored latte options?). Should I ever endeavor on another early morning flight where painstaking awakeness trumps trying to squeeze in a two-hour power nap, this will be my go to! So happy I discovered this lil gem! read more

I've come here a million times to study when I was in school. That's basically what it is, at least the one on MLK, it's a place for students to study. If you're not doing that or at least doing something on a laptop or reading a book, you're gonna feel out of place. You don't come here to chat with someone on a first date or something like that. The food is good. I like the pizza but it's too bad they don't have vegan pizza. However they do have cactus tamales sometimes which is really good. One point I want to make though is that any food you get will be snack size and it will be about $5 and up. So order food if you want a bite. If you want to fill yourself up expect to spend at least $20. However the pastries are like $3 I think and the cookies are pretty big so you can get filled up if you just eat desserts. I also want to comment on the WiFi. Absolutely don't come here if you need a steady connection. The WiFi is god awful. I've been here four years and it's been awful the entire time. Luckily for me I don't really care because I always have my WiFi hotspot so I'd recommend to use that if possible. A really good drink to try here is really anything off the mocha list. Pride and prejudice, they're all good. It's probably the only place in town with so many different styles of mocha. read more

Loved this place! Opens super late so that's a plus. Hot chocolate was the bomb and their mochas as well

It may not be the fanciest coffee shop out there, bit hey, it has great coffee and that's really what I mostly need! The iced tea is also fairly standard and their breakfast tacos are hugee. The breakfast tacos were about 1.5x the size of the ones I've had before. At first, I thought the mismatch of all the chairs was a bit strange but they were cozy, so I'm not going to harp on that. Service was friendly, too. Would come back if I'm in the area. read more

The iced bennu and iced blennu are both incredibly good.
