a sandwich with lettuce and tomato
Alyssa S.

I ordered them using uber eats because they had good reviews and I had never ordered with them before. I ordered the TAB (turkey bacon avocado) sandwich, a Cesar salad and a pastrami(which also had avocado). The salad was good, however upon opening my sandwich up to remove the tomatoes, I noticed my avocado was black. After my discovery, we opened up the Ruben and low and behold, the avocado was also black. Long story short, we will not be ordering here again.

Was actually in the building trying to take care of some court business then I was lured into this nice eatery by the delicious fragrances of lunch foods. Although he space is relatively small, there was no sense of that. Everything was clean and welcoming. The food was great. For their Wednesday special it was teriyaki. I enjoyed a stress free meal surrounded by soft music. If you find yourself in Renton City Hall up on the third floor, I strongly recommend stopping by the City Scene Cafe and grabbing a bite to eat.

Was looking for a quick cafe style spot and this was the winner. Had trouble finding it - located inside the Renton City Hall building on the 3rd floor. Got the Thai wrap and was given he option of having it spicy and had to say yes. The spice cane from fresh Thai chili peppers chopped up! Was delicious! All the vegetables tastes fresh and the food was prepared fast! Also great price! Large menu and wide variety of options. Great spot!

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!

Did an airport run and my guests were hungry and we stopped here…read more This is a hidden Jim and so worth seeking it out. There is interior and a small outside eating area. we debated whether to eat outside or inside decided to eat inside. I found the interior to be clean and welcoming. The tables were quite comfortable. I appreciated that they were both savory and sweet crepes along with baguette sandwiches and salads. Fabulous choice. There was a nice variety of drink choices also. We opted for a couple of savory crêpes and one sweet one along with a couple of lattes and then a coffee Everything was absolutely delicious and the presentation was so wonderful. The coffee was served with a couple of biscuits. I was actually kind of envious of that. I love those biscuits. Next time, right?! I love supporting independent businesses, and I would definitely come here again.

Redondo Coffee and Crepes! It's what you order on a cold,…read morerainy Sunday morning (or ANY morning, LOL). Locally owned and located in a very off the main highway of Sunset Boulevard in the Renton Highlands, it is the last store in this very small strip mall. It's one of those 'secret spots' that IFKYK. Here for more than 3 years now, Redondo is Renton's place for the sweet AND savory crepe. Coffee drinks are made to order, and don't forget the option of horchata for your latte, or small smattering of Nutella for your dining selection. Be advised, there will be a small wait as they create your dish to order. You can also watch the magic happen live as the staff diligently and caringly make your plate. It's a delicious anticipation to view. For me, I got the berry crepes and a nice foamy decaf latter (presented with a side of Maria's Gamesa biscuits!!!l). Be advised, they are open until 5pm and it can get a little crowded. But thay is a small price for a little bit of warmth, artistry, and a peaceful environment. Come on over for crepes! #redondocoffeeandcrepes

Not often that you see bahn mi served for breakfast, but the one from here was actually pretty…read moregood. 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

I've been wanting to try this place since I first heard of it…read more GETTING THERE: It seems tucked away in Tukwila, but it's actually extremely easy to get to and not to far off the exit from Hwy 599 coming from South Center. It's maybe about 2-3 min off the Interurban Ave exit. After a couple left turns, it's right on the corner of a 4-way stop. You can't miss it. PARKING: The place isn't very big but there is plenty of street parking available. There's also a small lot by the convenience store nearby. AMBIANCE: It's a very small place with Vietnamese decor and an aquarium. It was giving vibes of the sunroom at my aunt's house Vietnamese music playing in the background haha. There are limited seats if you choose to sit and enjoy your coffee. They have a couple tables on the side, or you can sit on the stools along the window. I think the place felt a little empty. It could use a couple more tables and chairs along the window instead of the stools. This layout kind of felt like a Baskin Robbins or a small local ice cream shop. SERVICE: I didn't see anyone at first when I walked in, but there was someone to ready to take my order by the time I got to the counter. She took my order then I took a seat at the table until she called me to grab me from my order. Not much else for service. FOOD: I mainly went here for the coffee, but I figured I should try the sandwich while I was there. I ordered the bánh mì đặc biệt (house special sandwich) and the cà phê trứng (egg coffee). The sandwich to me was alright at best. The flavors were unbalanced. I mostly tasted the chả over the other cuts and the meat was pretty cold. I get that it's called a "cold cut" for a reason, but it was really cold and kind of threw off the sandwich. The bread would've been better toasted, or at least have the option to toast it. The one thing I enjoyed was the amount of pate used. The coffee on the other hand was decent. I've been in search of more places that serve egg coffee and I usually get it every chance I get. I found it a bit weird that it comes iced. I usually get an option to choose if I want it hot or cold. It didn't specify on the menu and I was never asked. So I just assumed it was not iced because the only thing that was iced was the cà phê sữa đá. Well I was wrong... The egg part was super thick, fluffy, and creamy. It was the right amount of sweetness and saltiness too. Honestly it might be the best egg cream I've had on a coffee, but it would have been much better if the coffee was warm. I just think egg coffee should be served hot. It's a personal preference. The ice keeps the egg cream on top and I can't really mix the whole thing evenly. I would've enjoyed it more if every sip was a even mixture of egg cream and coffee. OVERALL: At the end of the day, I enjoyed this place. There are a couple small improvements that would've changed my experience. I did enjoy the coffee and that's what I originally came for. The sandwich honestly wasn't bad, but I think I would try the thịt nướng next time. Some places just do one or the other better. I think it's harder the get the cold cut sandwich right vs the grilled pork. Overall it's a nice little meet up spot and I would come back again just for the egg coffee.
