    Chipotle Turkey & Cheddar Panini and Summer Flowers Latte
    Serena W.

    Always enjoy the food and drinks here. Great place to come and get some work or studying done. I love lavender so the summer flowers latte was perfect. The chipotle turkey and cheddar panini were also tasty.

    Very busy inside. Cozy and lively today! Service was very polite and the barista explained that my drink takes longer to make. She was brewing fresh coffee for my pour over. I don't mind waiting as they were super nice. Glad I came in. This was my first visit!

    Black sesame latte
    Wennie H.

    I've tried a few things here and nothing has impressed me as much as the cubano! It's smooth, sweet, super delicious and the cinnamon really shines. I added unsweetened almond milk and it was delicious.

    Avocado toast

    Food was good Customer Service friendly and courtesy Atmosphere was pleasant Great place for Food And Coffee

    Just an ok breakfast burrito
    Izzy G.

    I feel like there were two different reviews here. I would give my mocha a 4, it was flavorful and a great way to start the day. I would give my breakfast burrito a 3. Coming from arizona, where breakfast burritos are everywhere and competitive, I have to say the burrito here fell short of my expectations. I gave the place of 4 because of the friendly service and comfortable environment.

    Good place to grab a bite and coffee around Renton. Good service and I enjoyed their drinks more than their food. I'd come back.

    One of their matcha latte offering
    Maiko H.

    Very cute and cozy cafe. We went when it was a bit busy on a Sunday morning - more seats started clearing up after about 10 am. Had one of their matcha latte's and the avocado toast. Both were tasty - the avocado toast was a bit on the salty side for my taste but paired nicely with the sweetness of the matcha latte. A solid place to visit if you're in the area.

    Ube coconut latte
    Semra Q.

    Wanted to try a new coffee spot post gym and this didn't disappoint! Ordered the ube coconut latte with almond milk. Definitely recommend getting it with sweetened almond milk if wanting it on the sweeter side. Personally it was a little too sweet for me so I'd probably order it again with unsweetened almond milk next time. The coconut taste was a bit overpowering but nothing too strong. Quick and friendly service!

    Perfect

    It's perfect every time! Friendly staff. Great original, menu selection - no pre packaged stuff.. My favorites are the croissant breakfast sandwich; and avacado toast is a close second when I am feeling healthy. Really comfortable environment - warm, inviting and relaxing. Great job to the staff.

The vibe of this place and the people that make it happen every morning are world class. Life situations kept me from making my way to the shop for a year or so, but when I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a "it's been a while!" The coffee is reasonably priced and imo - best in the area. It's consistent and while I'm a sucker for the 12oz cold brew - I've gone off script a few times and have always been pleased. I've got family that comes into town fairly often, and almost every morning they ask to go because they think about it when they're at home in Chicago. There's plenty of seating, tho it's sometimes so bumping (because it's a great spot!) it can be hit or miss if you can stick around and enjoy the vibe. But generally I've had good luck over the years setting up at a table and chatting with friends & fam before a hike, enjoying the morning with my pup doing some socialization training or throwing a few emails around to my corporate overlords. I've seen ads for their evening events and have been wanting to make it to one, but I always seem to see the poster days or weeks after the event! Poetry nights in a space like boon boona seem like an unbeatable vibe, hope to notice & get to one soon. *Parking is also not hard to find at all. There's a free garage down the street at the transit center that is never full, and tons of street parking*

    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.
