    Spicy chai
    Tiffany S.

    I'm not from this area, but i've popped in the last 2 days for a spicy chai and toasted asiago bagel. The Benson Espresso is a fantastic coffee stand with a great owner who cares about her staff. I love to see it! Hope to be back soon! Thank you for bringing a great start to my day.

    My delightful fun.  Latte Latte

    My breakfast burritos were cold and the Barista was rude, maybe she was having a bad day or maybe she was just hungry?

    I can never make time to visit their newer location at the downtown Waterfront, so I instead took…read moresome time after work on a Tuesday around 3:30pm to drive down to Renton instead to get coffee here. My first thought getting in here was: how do they have so much real estate in here yet still make it relaxing to stay and do your WFH stuff in? It's wide, there's tons of tables and seating, and the menu - though a little hard to read since it's behind the counter. Music isn't too loud either so even more relaxing! Staff were quick in making drinks, or just long enough so you can enjoy the calming effects of the overall surroundings. I got their purple rain, which has ube hints, juniper, espresso and whole milk. This is one of their summer drinks but they still use their own brand of coffee for this one. Strong and crisp coffee here while the ube is brought out just enough to not be covered completely by the coffee. It's a sweet, soothing layer with whole milk added to make the drink a little thicker and uniform with the coffee. I felt like I was getting a sip and smell of the outside leaves with the juniper as well, so a ton of feelings in one cup that I downed in less than 3 minutes! I will come back to try their straight-up coffee drinks!

    The coffee is part of the experience. Fix your WiFi access point near the mini bar. WiFi coverage…read moresucks in that area. Connection is spotty and intermittent. UPDATE: WiFi still jacked up. Don't let this be the loss of a customer. I'd HATE to go to the SBUX!!! Reset the access point or find something more stable.

    On a hot, sunny day around 2:50pm on Friday I decided to make the drive here after suddenly…read moreremembering one of my foodie friends had this place several times during other weekends. I actually had to park behind the building then look at other Yelp reviews to find out that there is parking on gravel near their dumpsters closest to LaShaun Daye Hair. Though I don't know if the parking lot where this building and E Marginal Way meet can also be used...street parking in this area was scarce, contrary to most Yelp reviews I've read. Anyway, I came to an empty but very chill interior with several tables and window seating, along with some semi-quiet VPop playing near the front counter to the right-hand side of the entrance. There's a small flower display along with the cafe logo a little to the back which is perfect to take photo ops with your drink and food like I did. The menu is above the front counter and - as their logo says - they specialize in banh mi and coffee, though they have some matcha and soup options among others. Staff at the front were very quick at making my coffee as I was the only one inside. I got their 16oz egg coffee, which is one of their best sellers according to the asterisk on their menu next to the name of the drink. Very strong phin-dripped Vietnamese coffee along with condensed milk and an egg foam that gave a sweet, creamy taste to the already bitter coffee at the bottom. Drinking the egg foam first, it's a nice, thick custard-like format that the coffee does not overtake, which is good since other places I've had don't have that kind of balance. My next trip back here will have to be for another one of their coffee drinks and their banh mi sandwiches as well. I can already hear my friend telling me to get one right now as I'm writing this up!

I went with the Dac Biet version, which contains cold cuts of pork ham and sausage, along with pate and mayo. The bread was super good. It was really fluffy and crackly on the outside. Some of the best bahn mi bread I've had. Also, I found the meats to be excellent as well - particularly the sausage. The portions of pate and mayo were just enough to add moisture to each bite. For around $10, it's a little expensive for bahn mi, but still reasonably priced. 8/10
