    Eggnog Latte
    Athene D.

    Candor Coffee is such a charming little spot. I originally chose it because it was close to our nail salon, but even when my friend couldn't make it I was happy I stayed. The space has a calm, productive energy with lots of people quietly working on laptops. I ended up getting some work done from my phone and it was surprisingly relaxing. The chairs are comfortable, the volume stays low, and it has that peaceful vibe that makes you want to linger. I ordered the Caprese Crepe for lunch and it was delicious. Very filling, generous in size, and seasoned really well. My total for the latte and crepe came to about $22 before tip which is a little on the higher side, but the flavor made it worth it. I usually treat myself to something sweet after a meal and I was simply too full which says a lot. Definitely a shareable dish if you want something light with your coffee. The eggnog latte was such a standout. Not sugary at all, gently spiced, and incredibly easy to sip. It tasted festive without being overpowering which I really appreciated. They were also sampling a new soup and offered small cups with crackers and little spoons (so cute). I still do not know exactly what kind of soup it was, but it was packed with flavor and honestly even better than the crepe. That tiny bite alone made me want to come back to try more of their soups. Service was lovely the entire time. Friendly, thoughtful, and very welcoming. I appreciated the soft demure mannerisms and smiles from the welcoming staff. Overall, Candor Coffee is a great choice for a cozy lunch, a quiet work session, or a good cup of coffee in a calm setting. I would definitely return.

    Matcha latte with oatmilk and honey

    This is such a cute place. Plenty of parking, it was busy inside but there seats available. I ordered an oatmilk matcha latte with honey and the salmon toast. I love the decor and live plants inside. They call your drink order and they give you a numbered sign to bring your food out. I know my name is a little challenging to say, but I would like people to at least attempt to pronounce it, even if it was wrong at least they would have tried. I didn't hear my name being called , just my drink order. While I went up to get my drink, a server took my numbered sign so when the next server brought out my salmon toast , I was missed. Unfortunate. But no big deal, I got up and went to pick up my food. The matcha was the perfect drinkable temperature, and there was just enough honey that it wasn't overly sweet. The salmon toast was good, it was kinda plain though, it could have used just a little bit of salt on the cucumbers, or even a flavored cream cheese. The salmon was tender and delicious, and I enjoyed the capers on top. Very good salmon toast over all.

    Cappuccino

    Stopped in for coffee and breakfast. Really cute cafe in Renton near IKEA. Counter service, plenty of seating. Ordered a cappuccino and breakfast bagel. I was not a fan of the coffee, very acidic and floral- I know some people like this type of coffee, I prefer smooth and bold. Breakfast bagel was pretty bad. Bagel seemed stale, not toasted at all, pretty sure the whole thing was microwaved. Not a huge fan.

    Okay! Who in the world would guess this cute little coffee shop in the middle of Renton would actually make some of the best coffee I've ever had! I tried an iced lavender latte. It was yummy but honestly I didn't feel it was anything to write home about. Nice strong espresso and light hint of lavender. Was good but didn't blow me away. After ordering that I glanced back up at the menu and realized I totally missed looking at the seasonal drinks!! And wow are they what makes this place special! I really wish I had ordered the honey pistachio latte that was one there! It looked so yummy! Thankfully I got to try some other things since I came with a few other people. I tried a sip of my friend's hot mocha and oh my goodness! One of the best coffees I've tried! The foam was think and pillowy. You know it's good when the coffee art doesn't move when you take a sip. I also tried their avocado toast. For being your typical avo toast it was yummy. Nice distribution of tomato's and it was perfectly salted. The inside was also very cute and tasteful. Definitely a good place to come for a meeting or some schoolwork. With all that being said I will definitely be back to try that matcha!

    I hadn't been in for a while, they have made several changes to the cafe! They redecorated, added more food options and I think more pastries as well! It's still a great spot to meet with friends to catch up or a lot of people go there to work, it's a nice comfortable spot. The young ladies at the register are always sweet.

    Honey pistachio matcha latte

    Extremely cute cafe in Renton with delicious drinks! They have a house made pistachio flavor which was incredible in both a latte and matcha. They also offer some gluten free bakery items which were quite good. I went several times when I was in town and can't wait to return whenever I am back!

    I visited candor coffee on a sunday around noon and it was constantly filled with a steady stream of people!! I came with friends to study and we probably wouldn't have been able to if we didn't bring noise canceling headphones. With that said, I loved the vibe of the cafe, it's pretty spacious and is filled with natural light. I saw a dubai matcha on their valentines menu and thankfully it was still available for purchase!! It was quite pricey at almost $9 but it was for a 16oz and I also LOVED it. It had a yummy matcha flavor and there was crushed nuts for some texture. I would definitely get this again! I'm looking forward to coming back if ever in the area. They had pastries and food that looked really good too!

    This is a cute little coffee shop where people hang out to enjoy their coffees with some screen time. We came around 9:30 am on a Monday and there were only a couple of people in front of us, but the service was kinda slow. However their coffee and teas were worth waiting for. I had the chai Marsala latte, and it had a nice gingery taste and not very sweet.

    I've been coming here for years. Nice place w/ good tasting coffee. The staff is very nice, and easy to talk to. They've recently expanded their food menu as well. The cafe has nice furniture, and is cool place to: meetup with friends, study, eat, or work. The decor is modern if you just want to be somewhere that's aesthetically pleasing, or get some work done. There are plugs for charging along the perimeter of the store. Bathrooms behind the bar (M&W). Seating is arranged for both group and solo visits. The music is good, and makes for relaxing background ambiance. Oh, there's also outdoor seating w/ covered tables. -Free parking & WiFi -Located just off 167 by IKEA and Valley Medical Center.

    16oz iced matcha lattes
    Kayla P.

    I've came to Candor Coffee before so I knew what to expect. The cafe was beautiful with plenty of seating and the baristas were so nice. I noticed they got new iced cups so I wanted to try an iced matcha latte. I saw the barista use a chawan and whisk so I had high hopes. I ordered a 16oz iced matcha latte ($7.06) and it was not good. I got it sweetened with their simple syrup and it just tasted like sweet milk. It definitely needed more matcha but I did like their ice.

    My go to, a classic Americano!

    Loved this coffee shop! Candor offers a spacious and artsy environment to get some work done while enjoying your caffeine fix. Originally from Renton back in the day, I never would've thought there would be cool coffee shops such as Candor which would pop up. The coffee was excellent and rich in flavor and the baristas were super friendly and the service was prompt. Another great business located in the City of Renton, WA.

    Stopped in for a second time today. Purchased some of the coffee they had on sale from Olympia, and then some food items. Everything looks and tastes great. There were some signals crossed at the counter and I didn't quite get what I ordered - asked for the turkey and avocado panini and got the avocado toast with turkey slice on top. It was tasty, just not my order. And I'd rather not have the sourdough bread due to the very hard outer crust which made the toast a bit difficult to eat - also, pricey - a little less than 20 dollars for the toast - including five dollars extra to add the turkey -- that said, my total bill was not unreasonable for the number of items (although I had two tickets as my coffee was not added the first time around). If it's on your path, it's a pleasant venue. They have a varied selection of offerings to suit your cravings.

    I had a nice time! This was our second time here and I could go again. I don't think it would be my regular place but I could go once a year. I love coffee and theirs wasn't anything special. We had a nice breakfast consisting of a mango chia seed pudding, cinnamon roll, chicken crepe, and a turkey pesto sandwich. The quality of food was worth it. The ambience is my favorite part but if you look too close you notice the baristas standing around talking when the floors and tables were actually kind of gross. They also don't have high chairs but they did have different types of regular seats to accommodate us.

They offer a few Vietnamese coffee drinks if you're looking for that extra buzz. Three of us visited for an afternoon pick-me-up around 2:00P on a Saturday. The cafe has a minimalist aesthetic and large mirrors along one wall helped open up the space. It was nice and clean, plus plenty of seating makes it a great spot for working or just hanging out. The employee at the front was so kind and graciously helped us with some questions we had about the drinks regarding sweetness and flavor profiles. Honestly, the entire matcha selection looked good to me... I'm sure I would have been happy with any drink even if I picked one randomly! All matcha drinks are crafted with oat milk by default but you can substitute for almond or whole milk at no extra cost. Additionally, any drink can be made hot. While we ordered, it seemed like the barista was already getting a start on our drinks, so our three matchas were all whisked and poured within less than five minutes of paying. Super quick! + MATCHA EINSPANNER ($9): This was my first time trying Einspanner... finally! The creamy top was rich, milky and had just the right amount of sweetness, complementing the matcha latte as I took each sip. The matcha itself was very smooth and mild which was not surprising as they use Uji ceremonial grade. It was a lovely deep green color and I actually felt the hit of caffeine after drinking it, so they must have been generous with their scoops! The drink contained more ice than I would have liked, but I decided not to mess with the proportions, besides opting for 50% sweet, which was perfect. My companions enjoyed the MATCHA MATCHA (matcha latte + matcha cream) and the PANDAN MATCHA (matcha latte + pandan cream). Pandan gave it a wonderful coconut and vanilla essence, balancing out well with the matcha. At $9 each, the drinks felt a bit steep, but the quality truly justified the price. Since I'm rarely in Tukwila, the small splurge was well worth it... especially since I finally crossed 'Einspanner' off my culinary bucket list after years of waiting!
