For a Saturday afternoon, they get very busy! The cafe is located in a great area with plenty of parking, and there is tons of natural lighting, which really enhances the atmosphere. They also have plenty of seats with access to outlets, making it a perfect spot if you are looking for a place to work or study. As it has become such a popular spot, you should expect slightly longer wait times, especially if you order food during peak hours. I ordered the Cloud Matcha, which was very good; I have actually already been back to get it again along with some other items! I also tried the croissant, which was delicious. This has definitely become my new favorite cafe in the area! read more

I want to share my experience at Café Condor. 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. read more

Amazing location and hours. Their bagels were so good, I love what they did with the Salmon Pesto bagel where they use raw salmon, the texture compliments the bagel so well. It's also not so pricey so I definitely recommend. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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!

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! read more

Unfortunately, the service at Condor can easily ruin your mood. The place itself may be okay, but some staff members behave in a very provocative and disrespectful way toward customers.

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. read more

Two barista's working at the counter and one stops taking my order to talk to her friend. That's unprofessional and inconsiderate. Then she makes my order incorrectly and gives me attitude! On top of that, the food and drinks were 2/10 at best. $30 for a sandwich and a watered down drink. The sandwich was the size of my palm. read more

Possibly my favorite coffee spot in Renton!! The ambiance is so refreshing. Light inside and perfect for working or enjoying a little brekkie.

There is nothing else like it read more

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. read more

Ordered an espresso tonic and salmon bagel here not too long ago! Pretty good, however the wait was pretty long. I would try again though!

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. read more

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. read more

Candor Coffee - My go to, a classic Americano! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Renton, Washington

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. read more

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. read more

This place is always busy. I ordered a chai which was a little too sweet for my liking even though I asked for it to be spicy. The customer service is just not there especially with Starbucks right around the corner. I hate to do this but I'm rating this one on the lower end. Good place if you can find a seat or table to get some work done. read more

Pleasant enough Café with very good food, but the ambience is filled with business people and their computer so it's not a good chill café experience in the morning. Annoying all the tables are full of people getting their one coffee and probably sitting there for hours. Is this an office space? Sad because this place has nice food and drink offerings and ambiance otherwise... read more

I have been meaning to check out this place and heard several good things about it! I happened to be in the area and was in major need for caffeine! It was on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. It was a lively vibe yet I think it would be nice to hang out or work from one of these days; maybe on a slower day during the week :) Lots of seating options as well as outside too even though it was busy. For my first visit, I ordered from their daily specials menu and chose the Walnut de leche Matcha latte to go as I had some errands to run. The space near the front counter is a bit hectic as people are either in line or waiting for their items to be ready & the staff seem friendly enough yet there was a lot for them to be preparing and taking care of their customers. My drink was a little cold due to trying to figure out if it was mine or someone else's in the rush & not hearing a name go with it when it was ready...yet the latte not disappoint. If you are looking for a place to spend time or get something on the go, try checking them out! Id be interested to try out one of their pastries and grab some more coffee ! read more

Candor Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Renton, Washington

This place went 0 for 2 during my Seattle trip. With such raving reviews, I thought maybe my first visit was a one-off, so I tried again on my last day of my trip. This establishment feels like just a bunch of unknowing, confused employees who provide lots of problems with no solutions. Minimal/no issues with the quality of the coffee/food itself - which is to be noted. Let's recap: First time I went - I asked for a Sakura cherry blossom latte. She said they were out and would have more by the weekend. Cool. Went for a red velvet latte instead. Ordered a sausage sandwich and pesto (no chicken) sandwich as well. Sausage sandwich came out as bacon - pesto sandwich came out with chicken. We didn't want to complain twice - so we just asked for the chicken to be removed from the sandwich. A new sandwich came out, seeeeeeping with pesto. The entire bread was soaked in pesto and oil and inedible. In the nicest way I knew how to, I asked if this was normal? It's pretty inedible and incredibly difficult to eat when oil and pesto are just dripping everywhere. They said "yes" it was normal.... Interesting. They did not offer to make a new sandwich, I had to ask. Even then, it came back out called as "no cheese!" (no context as to what sandwich she was even calling out). It couldn't have possibly been mine since I didn't order no cheese... go figure. It was. She handed me the sandwich like I was a complete nuisance. I was confused and baffled at this experience. The red velvet latte had no red velvet taste, but it was decent espresso/oat milk so 2 stars. The second time - She said the cherry blossom would be back so I ordered online to avoid the wait inside. $9.75 for a coffee - wowzer. Upon getting there, no cherry blossom. BRO. Make it unable to order if it's out, my dude!!! I wasn't going to go through a whole new ordeal with them so I just opted for a refund. She continued to seem confused and I have yet to receive a refund. Like I said - nothing to do with the food/coffee. I actually enjoyed it and would pay for it again. It is what it is - maybe I got 2 one-off days but it's bizarre to me how this place has good reviews due to their extremely confused and disoriented staff, seemingly all at sea or in lala land. read more

Visited candor coffee for the first time, and I will definitely be back! I ordered a seasonal latte, which I think was a spiced fog latte. It was so yummy! They had a variety of coffees, tea, other cold drinks and pastries. Service was really good, the store seems very clean, and they have restrooms. A lot of people seem to be there to get some work done, meet up with friends, or just grab something to go. They also have free parking in their shared lot. read more

I've already written a review for this place last year but this particular review is for their pumpkin latte! I've tried a bunch of pumpkin lattes recently and Candor's version is the best! I get mine with oat latte, hot, and in a 12oz cup. For me, it has the perfect ratio of coffee, milk, and pumpkin flavor! As always, the service here is amazing and they have such a cool and relaxing vibe if you just wanna chill or even study or work! read more
