I am so happy they honored my Yelp check in discount. It was clear that the manager on site had no idea the discount exsisted. lol However, they honored it and served up delicious coffee. Right in the heart of downtown Renton Boon Boona is a great coffee house to stop and refuel. read more

I got the banana mocha and it was just a little watery. My friend got a latte without cinnamon that they put cinnamon in. It was in a cute walking area, perfect for a date. Very cute inside with a lot of seating and a great place to work read more

Another average Joe in Seattle area. I was sad that this place also did not hit on my last visit to Seattle. I had to add sweetener and more milk to fix my coffee. The space at this location is beautiful, as there were many seating options, a public bathroom and large tables for large parties. read more

Hello Boon Boona, this is my favorite coffee place! I've only been here once but I absolutely loved everything about Boon Boona Coffee. From the calm atmosphere, the beautiful decor, generous and super kind staff, and most importantly, the coffee which I've better had made better walking into Boon Boona Coffee on an early morning. I got an latte with almond anise syrup and I haven't been able to stop dreaming about it since. I have never been to a better Coffee shop since that day. The latte made my day a whole lot brighter as well. I saw that you guys do poetry at night so I may stop by sometime if you guys still do that. I hope to come back soon. Until then, I'll keep dreaming about that latte. :,) read more

Surprisingly busy on a weekday morning. Where do these customers come from? Across the auction house and pho joint is this coffee place. Decorated with ethnic designs and items, you'll find a counter waiting for your order as you enter. The noise level is moderate - semi high, industrial ceiling reminds me of a coffee making factory. The space is open and there's plenty of chairs and tables. The veggie sandwich ($8) came piping hot. Super expensive IMO. Nothing too extraordinary. If I was a coffee drinker, I guess this place would be good. I see lots of customers with drinks in hand. They must be doing something right. They were friendly and relatively fast. Not sure if I'd be back. read more

This is the other BBC (ha) that you want in your life, especially if it's in your community and even more-so if it's just down the block worth a walk. Birthed in a prominent big corner space that's full of natural light & a spacious ceiling in downtown Renton, a wonderful energy & vibe was created. It has a really neat & cool 'brown hue' to the whole thing which is rather quite fitting to the coffee bean or perhaps part homage to it. Mostly clean, spacious & simple, the main prominent features are the delightful artwork mural behind the coffee bar and the coffee equipment/racket adjacent to it. The mural is particularly cool because I think it has a lot of inspiration/roots from African coffee lands/landscapes with a unique artistic style. Seating variety is nice while the bathroom is a stark contrast of its cafe. My go-to coffee beverage is a short decaf oat milk chicory latte. Their decaf is a naturally wonderful & smooth/deep roasted flavor and the current brand of oat, Minor Figures, is a nice touch. Chicory is one of their house [vegan] syrups that I like the best; it has this super subtle sweetness that eludes this near-perfect balance, IMO. Often I bring my personal mug which puts a smile on their faces; sometimes adding my own spices to mix in does the same (ginger, cinnamon, etc; they do have cinnamon on their own which I think is mostly a good industry standard). On lesser occasions, I'd get a regular decaf or seasonal fling if I fancy it. Most of the couple of yummy vegan treats are standard Macrina bakery and newcomer Simply Amazing Treats LLC which are pretty yummy. I've been going here at least weekly since I moved in last Spring. Staff is overall chill & friendly. They're usually complimenting my personal mug which is a great habit people should try to help their small change for the climate and less business waste. Just a wonderful neighborhood go-to spot with just as wonderful background story & origin. read more

I had a breakfast sandwich there once and at the time it was the best vegetarian breakfast sandwich I had ever had and was really looking forward to frequent this place for said breakfast sandwich. Unfortunately, now they have switched to some sort of fake meat breakfast sandwich and not all vegetarians want that. Very, very disappointed that they took away that choice. read more

Great coffee and service, but if you come in any time after 10 AM on a weekend, you will just be hearing screaming children.

I used to like this place, but I think definitely the quality of the coffee has gone down and the price has gone drastically up. 9$+ for a cup of coffee and I personally feel like the quality of foam could be better. Sounds stuck up but the standard was definitely higher when this location first opened, now it just feels lazy. read more

Located in the heart of Renton, it's spacious, with a rustic (lovely) styled interior. If you're meeting a friend up for conversation or need to get some work done, this is the place to be! Staff are incredibly friendly. Drinks are decent, but nothing special. The expresso definitely works though-- I ordered it once and did not sleep for 2 days straight. I get their Matcha drinks now. I like it here, it's almost like a safe space away from home. I recommend you trying it out if you haven't already done so! I can easily spend an afternoon here, as many others do. read more

Nice staff - helpful in selecting a coffee! Got a banana cream latte and a strawberry latte just to try both. Both were too sweet - felt like there was absolutely no espresso in them! Pretty disappointed based on how well this place was raved about. Wouldn't pay the nearly $10 for a coffee again :/ read more

Great stop for coffee and pastries or breakfast sandwiches on the main drag in Renton as we drove north from the airport on the east side. I like the berbere mocha, a slightly spicy but deliciously flavorful hot beverage. Each of the pastries I've had from a nearby local bakery have been delicious and different from other places. Plenty of room to enjoy your coffee inside and free WiFi. read more

Boon Boona Coffee - London fog and berbere mocha - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Renton, Washington

I have always been jealous of Seattle residents coz they have a lot of cool coffee shops. Until we found this place in the middle of downtown Renton. I used to get their rose cardamom latte all the time before they started introducing seasonal drinks. Lately, I've been getting their toasted coconut white chocolate mocha and it's my go to now every time I go to BB. Their syrups are house made and are so good but they don't make the latte too sweet, which is perfect. Their owner is super nice and friendly. All of their servers are friendly too! Note: they sell Sweet Alchemy ice cream at the Renton location so try on e of their flavors! If they have the sweet cream or banana Nutella crunch, do yourself a favor and get it! read more

Decided to go to check out downtown Renton there's lots of side street parking with two hour parking limit. Came on a Sunday morning and while there is ample amount of seats it was 80% full when we arrived! We were going to sit inside to read but the music was a little too loud and we could hear people's conversations on top of that. There are at least four tables for seating outside which we opted for. Service 3/5 The first girl that looked at us when we came in didn't acknowledge us or said hi, but the cashier that took our order was nicer. Coffee 4.5/5 Cardamom latte with oat milk (hot) was really good! I love the cardamom flavoring and it was a good call on a rainy day in Washington. 3/5 Lavender latte (iced) the boyfriend thought the lavender was way too subtle. Flavor didn't come out until later on but it wasn't a wow factor. Overall I appreciate what they stand for as their coffee comes from Africa and they're sustainable! Service could be better. They also have whole beans of coffee they sell and a huge area on the left side of the cafe where they bag their coffee which ranged from $17-$23 would come here again to buy some beans when I'm in the area. read more

I love that their coffee is so unique and strong flavored. They had a great café to hang out and relax in, especially if you are meeting up with friends. Because of their Ethiopian coffee, they make even your most basic drinks taste different. Even though they were super busy on the Sunday morning we came in, the employees were so kind and speedy. read more

Incredible spot! The coffee was fantastic--smooth, rich, and clearly crafted with care. What made the experience even more special was getting to speak with the owner. He shared the journey of how Boon Boona came to be, from humble beginnings to building such a vibrant, community-focused space. You can feel the passion behind every detail here. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to--not just for the coffee, but for the story and heart behind it. read more

Enjoyed a matcha with oat milk before hitting the farmers market, such a treat! This is definitely craft coffee, so it takes a few minutes, but the quality makes it totally worth the wait. Great spot to start the day and walk around Renton with! read more

I stopped in here to have coffee and catch up on the book that I'm reading. I ended up ordering the rose cardamom latte (because cardamom is amazing) and the raspberry oat scone. The latte was delightful, though the cardamom flavor was a little more subtle than I would've preferred. The scone was moist and it crumbled like a scone, but something about the taste and texture seemed off. I think it was the oats. They had some tables inside, but I opted for one outside because it was sunny out. Solid people watching! But if you're inside, you can watch them roasting beans in-house. read more

Mediocre coffee at best. In an area that has many options for great coffee this coffee shop is not somewhere worth visiting twice.

*Take-out only October 2021. Traffic in downtown Renton is chaotic due to the raod construction* Unfortunately, I had a diappointmenting first experience the coffee at Boon Boona. I was excited to try the latte with housemade rose cardamom syrup. But the drink tasted nothing like rose, and the cardamom flavor made the latte taste savory, like an Indian dish. My friend tried the seasonal Roasted Matcha (Hojicha) latte, and wasn't too impressed either. read more

Enjoyed it. I drink my coffee black without anything and this place has excellent drip. The taste is rich, bitter, and full of flavor. I haven't had any other drinks. But if you go on the weekends this place has a line out the door. Probably the same thing during weekday mornings. I usually like to treat myself to their coffee when I'm in the area.

The first time I was here, I was disappointed but I thought maybe it was just a bar day. I decided to give it another try 1st time: service was horrible, the girl was rushing me and giving me attitude. Coffee was standard, tea was bad. I threw most of the tea away. Plain croissant was ok. This place is expensive! The croissant was $5! That's more than downtown pricing for subpar croissant! 2nd time: I noticed they had lowrider cookies so I wanted to give them a try. Unfortunately,they was sold out along with most other pastries. This was Wednesday. I finally decided to get a breakfast sandwich instead but the one I chose was sold out as well. I wish they would put a sign or something...I finally got the sandwich that was available. It has egg, spinach and cheese and it was $6. Again, pricey in my opinion. This place is definitely not my cup of tea read more

Such a cute spot in downtown Renton with an amazing mission behind their business! Boon Boona is an East African coffee roastery that focuses on sustainability, supporting women-growers, and providing a space for BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and more. The space is a lot bigger than most spaces in DT Renton and it makes it the perfect building for their roasters, merchandise, and seating (round tables, bar stool tables, bar stools along the window and outdoor seating) without it feeling too crowded. There are also flyers about resources and things happening in the community which I really love and appreciate to see. Today I came in with my dog (woohoo for being pup-friendly!) I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk and their house-made cinnamon brown sugar syrup paired with their vegan raspberry oat scone. I will be honest and say that their matcha was not my favorite. I am not knocking a star down because this depends on preference but it is on the milky and subtle side. I could barely taste the syrup or matcha but this makes it good for beginner-matcha-drinkers. Every other time I have gone here, prior to me Yelping, I have always gotten coffee and I think that is the way to go here-- especially with their story and purpose of being an African Roastery. And it's so delicious! Even though my matcha wasn't the best in my opinion, their service and just the ambiance is the best! All the baristas were so friendly and welcoming and I enjoyed seeing a full crowd in their seating area. It wasn't too quiet or too loud either. It was just right-- I saw people meeting up for coffee dates, elders reading the newspaper, people doing remote work, and people in zoom meetings. This spot is definitely a feel-good place and it was such a great start to our day! Thank you Boon Boona Coffee! read more
