    I was thoroughly surprised about how good the Matcha taste here! The Matcha had a good flavor, strawberry was great and not too sweet, definitely complemented the milk. Overall, I would come back.

    Attended a meeting at Renton Chamber of Commerce, walked the few blocks from there to this coffee shop. There isn't any exterior seating but plenty of interior (bar and table) seating. They had two options for pour over and some interesting syrup options. There wasn't any gluten free or vegan options for food when I arrived. Ordered a pour over, fenugreek latte (order it, it's amazing) with oat milk, blueberry muffin and beef curry pastry. I have been to several Boon Boona Coffee locations and they are consistently memorable from their knowledgeable and kind staff to tasty and flavorful food and drinks. Always recommend supporting this business.

    I finally got to go to Boon Boona! I read much about in online and kept telling myself to take a road trip up from Oregon. After years, I finally took the drive up to Rento for the weekend. I ordered the berber mocha and I am glad I did. It was delicious, no overly strong taste. Expensive for cup but it was well worth it, in my opinion, it is a spacious place with plenty of seats. I purchased a Boon Boona Coffee hoodie too! Its a mid weight quality hoodie - perfect for a cool morning coffee run,

    Great local coffee spot. The place has lots of seating and is a great place to visit and catch up with friends and enjoy some great coffee. The baristas are friendly. And have a great knowledge of their menu and offerings. The beans are all from Africa and not only is Boon Boona cultivating community within the Seattle area, they are doing the same with African coffee growers. On my most recent visit, I went with the Berbere latte and was worried if the spice would overpower the coffee but it was smooth with a hint of spice. It was warm and delicious and I cannot wait to drink again.

    I thought this place was decent overall. It felt a bit messy, and the coffee was just okay. I didn't get a chance to try any of the pastries during my visit. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I'm nearby and need a quick coffee, I'd consider stopping in.

    Impressed!

    I met a friend at Boon Boona Coffee the other afternoon, and what was supposed to be a quick catch up turned into a two hour business session because the space just invites you to linger. The ambience has this effortless blend of modern café energy and warm community vibes. You don't feel rushed, you feel welcomed, like you're meant to stay awhile. What stood out immediately wasn't just the drinks, but the way the staff carried the entire experience. I ordered an iced herbal tea to start, which was crisp and refreshing, brewed in a way that let every note come through cleanly. My friend went straight for americano; she said it wasn't bad! I had grabbed a bag of espresso beans, the Breke blend, per the baristas recommendation since I'm a newer home "barista". She walked me through all the beans they had and they all were roasted relatively recently. The barista took the time to talk through the beans, the roast, even told me how it was a flip flop (sour/bitter extraction) and then, as we were sitting there, even brought me a sample of what an under extracted shot tastes like. Who does that? It was this little masterclass tucked into a casual coffee stop, and I left not only caffeinated but a bit wiser. The espresso itself was everything you want in a specialty shop: bold, fragrant, and complex. The beans were clearly treated with respect, roasted and served at their peak. When I played around with timing at home later, I noticed how they held their character across that tricky balance point between the flip flop sour and bitter extraction. It's rare to find beans that can withstand that kind of flip flop without completely losing their integrity, but these did great. It made me feel like I wasn't just buying coffee, I was bringing home a little piece of craftsmanship. And that's really the heart of Boon Boona. The coffee is excellent, yes, but it's the way they connect you to it that makes the place memorable. You're not just served, you're educated, welcomed, and encouraged to experience coffee in a deeper way. That service alone set the bar far higher than I expected, and combined with the comfortable space and well chosen beans, it made for one of the best café visits I've had in a long time. If you're looking for a spot to work, talk, or just savor a great cup, Boon Boona is the kind of place where two hours slip by without you realizing it, and you leave not only satisfied, but already planning your return.

    Breakfast sandwich and latte
    Cheol K.

    Great location in downtown Renton. Ended up meeting a co worker here before work to enjoy some coffee. The staff are super friendly and there was ample seating for me. The latte was very delicious. And the breakfast sandwich didn't last long as I wolfed it down so quick! Will definitely be back for future morning stops before work.

    So, I've been daydreaming about visiting Boona Boona for a while now. Sure, I've had their coffee beans at home, but there's something about drinking coffee where it's brewed that just hits different. The vibe? Imagine if a coffee shop and an interior design magazine had a love child -- sleek, earthy tones, and a whole lot of "I could totally work here on a Monday." It was packed, but somehow still gave off a chill, "I'm here for the coffee, but also to soak in the decor" vibe. Bonus: There are a couple of curbside tables for when you want to sip and scroll with your dog (we all know that's a thing). Now, the menu... Oh boy. *This* is where it gets fun. I walked up to the counter and had the *brilliant* idea of trying to figure out what to order without a menu. (Spoiler alert: I'm an introvert who stares at the menu for way too long like it's a life-or-death decision.) There were no menus lying around, no signs hanging -- just the specials scribbled on the counter like it's some secret society you can't be part of unless you've been to Boona Boona before. I even tried to check their website... and guess what? Digital menu? Ghosted. I half-expected a treasure map to pop up instead. Despite the menu mystery, the staff were absolute gems. They weren't *just* patient, they were like coffee sages guiding me to my iced banana mocha latte -- and trust me, it was worth it. My friends loved their hot chocolate and strawberry matcha lattes, too. Everything was delicious. Honestly, I'll be back just to see what *other* caffeinated concoctions they come up with. But Boona Boona, for the love of caffeine, please, a sign. Or a website menu. Or maybe a coffee fortune teller in the corner. Just help a fellow introvert out.

    Iced oatmilk Latte
    Monica P.

    I went to the counter and asked the barista if they make 12 ounce iced drinks. He assured me that they did and even showed me a 12 ounce cup. I ordered an iced 12 ounce latte and when they made the drink, it came out in a 16 ounce cup. I prefer the 12 ounce cup because if they use the 16 ounce cup it tastes too milky and not enough coffee taste. I asked the guy who handed me the coffee if this was a 12 ounce cup. He said yes it is. I said this looks like the 16 ounce cup. He said "well it's 12 ounces of milk and we just leave room for the ice and don't charge you for the ice." Wow, thanks for not charging me for ice after I already paid $10 for the drink. And, you're missing the point. I want a 12 ounce cup with milk and ice in it because that is a better ratio than a 16 ounce cup. If I'm paying $10 for a drink, I'd like to actually get what I like. Since I can't really taste the coffee I don't know if it's any good. And the barista made sure to know they were doing me a favor for giving me free ice. Not interested in that kind of customer service... won't be back.

    My friend and I visited this charming spot on a Sunday afternoon. There was a bit of a line, but it moved fairly quickly. They have a great drink menu with some fun specials, like a banana matcha beverage. They also offer a selection of pastries and sandwiches, which are clearly popular, as the options were very limited by the time we got there. I tried the strawberry matcha, and I was pleasantly surprised--I really enjoyed it! My friend ordered the rose cardamom latte, but unfortunately, it wasn't quite to our taste. It had a slightly bitter note that didn't sit well with us. One of the highlights of our visit was getting to see their coffee ceremony. They even offered us a free sample of the featured coffee, which was a nice touch. Finding parking was a bit of a challenge since the area was packed, so be prepared to walk a few blocks if you aren't lucky with finding a spot nearby. Once inside, the service was great, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I managed to grab the last seat near an outlet, which was a bonus, but we didn't stay too long since the Wi-Fi was a bit slow. Overall, it was a lovely experience with lots of space! Hoping to be back to try some of their other beverages.

    What a great spot! We went on a Friday late morning making our way out to Portland. There was a little of a line to get to the counter for service. The strawberry matcha was delightful and we ordered the breakfast sandwiches on ciabatta bread! They were amazing and oh so hot and gooey with the chipotle sauce. I like how they offered a beyond meat version which I really appreciate. The matcha green tea with strawberry was very refreshing and tasty. I can't wait to go back.

    Ask the Community - Boon Boona Coffee

    Are you able to grind coffee for customers?

    Yes we are happy to grind and coffee purchased at our cafes, we look forward to hanging you in!

    The Yelp hours say open until 4pm on Sunday, but their website says 2pm. I called but the phone number doesn't work. What time do they close on Sunday?

    Thank you for catching that! We will update to reflect the correct hours 8am - 4pm / 7 days a week

    Are you allowing dine in?

    UPDATE - As of Dec 15, 2021 we offer limited seating!

    Do you serve any food or pastry items?

    Hi Nancy! Thank you for reaching out! Yes we do. We offer - paninis, breakfast sandwiches, vegetarian and vegan wraps, small salads, and several assortment of pastries. Look forward to having you in!

    If street parking was the only type available, how long can you park at a time (given that this is downtown Renton) & is parking free? If not, is there a free parking area nearby for longer than 2 hours? Looking for a place I can work remotely?

    Hi Tracy! Parking around downtown Renton is 2 hours in most parts and it’s free :). Hope to see you soon!

    Do they really allow dogs?

    We went one of the first weekends they were open. We checked Yelp to make sure dogs allowed was listed and took our two leashed dogs in with us. The owner waited on us and even made a foam portrait of one of our pups on my latte.

    Ah, 2021 was such a year when I first went here. Everyone was looking for an excuse to go outside…read morebecause of the quarantines but it was hot and sunny back then, and this place filled up my friends' IG stories back when we wanted to walk around Gene Coulon Park where this place is located not too far from. Parking around the streets touching here and the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle's Southport is not advisable since it's very limited. There is a paid parking garage near the Hyatt you can use, or you can use the nearby Coulon Park parking lot and walk over here like I did. There's no seating inside here; instead there's tons of treats, merch, tea bags, gummies and other products on tables and shelves filling up the right-hand side of the interior. There's also a grassy background where you can take photo ops of yourself and/or your drinks. Up at the front counter to the left-hand side of the entrance are two kiosks you can use to punch in the drinks you want. The menu is also up behind the counter as well. For this visit, I got their tiramisu milk tea with boba. The tiramisu foam ayer was large enough that when I stirred the whole drink in, I could taste the tiramisu's slight coffee-like, earthy hints throughout. The milk tea itself is very strong as I could taste the bitter undertones of the tea easily after just one sip. Also love how they put their drinks in a plastic container shaped like a can! As for their boba, I actually don't mind them being much smaller than many other boba places. They're both small and very chewable, and still look very good sinking to the bottom of the drink in case a photo op is needed. Regular size boba would take up too much space inside the can anyway. Overall drink was a tad too sweet though. This is one of the few places that come to mind for me when someone asks me what boba places there are around the Renton area, as I've gotten great drinks here for every visit since 2021. I'd love to come back again and try their other drinks when I'm around the area!

    I want to share my experience at Café Condor…read more Overall, the café itself is fine. The place, food, and drinks are not the issue. The problem is the service behind the counter. From what I saw, most of the counter staff behave in a rude, arrogant, and disrespectful way toward customers, although there may be exceptions. Some employees may not get involved, but the overall atmosphere behind the counter feels very unpleasant. There was a situation where a person was waiting in line, just standing a little to the side, and some employees started acting like he was trying to skip the line and began confronting him for no reason. Instead of normal customer service, there was attitude, accusations, and disrespectful behavior. Another uncomfortable situation was with the language. When someone clearly understands Russian or Ukrainian but deliberately responds in English and acts like they don't understand the customer, it looks disrespectful and unprofessional. Especially when it is obvious that the person understands what is being said. Again, the café itself may be okay, but the main group working behind the counter really ruins the experience. Customers should be treated with respect, regardless of what language they speak or where exactly they are standing while waiting in line. Very unpleasant experience. I hope the owners pay attention to how their employees treat customers.

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!

Simple, dependable, and always satisfying definitely one of my regular stops.
