I've been going to Boon Boona on & off for years at this point and have happily seen them try new…read morelayouts, new breakfast sandwich options, new faces come and go but one thing stays the same - the vibe. 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*

I got the strawberry whipped cream croissant, fruit twist, cream cheese danish (pictured below), Mediterranean focaccia, and mini pumpkin loaf (not pictured). The twist had an excellent chewy and more dense texture than the croissant, which was very light and airy. Both were simple, not too sweet, and delicious.

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!

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

I came on a Saturday afternoon with my son for a lil coffee date. The interiors drew me, and they were just as aesthetic in person. There were quite a few people with laptops considering it was a Saturday afternoon, but plenty of seating regardless. We ordered a golden latte, which had ginger turmeric and oat milk among other things. My son had a steamed milk. And we ordered a smoked salmon croissant. The croissant was fine, but little one wasn't in the mood to eat. Or sit, for that matter. Anyway, great working spot or just to meet with friends! They also offer free tea with food purchase for those working. Would be glad to come back for some remote working.

Even though it was pretty full when we went, there was still plenty of seating available and it didn't feel cramped. The desserts all looked amazing, and I ordered an Italian soda which was really refreshing. The pancakes were great and definitely a highlight. Service was friendly and the wait wasn't too long, which I appreciated given how busy it was. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the Turkish eggs. I didn't realize the dish would be colder than I expected. I understand that yogurt is part of it, but the eggs themselves seemed like they might have been sitting a bit too long even though I picked it up right away. Next time I'd probably try something different. Overall though, it's a beautiful spot with good food and kind staff, and I'd definitely come back.

One thing I really appreciate is the consistency every visit is just as good as the last, which makes it such a reliable go to when I don't want to think too hard about where to eat. The bánh mì is always fresh with a good balance of flavors.

It's also a really cute spot with a welcoming vibe, and the staff are always friendly and efficient, which makes the whole experience even better. Simple, dependable, and always satisfying definitely one of my regular stops.

The way we both looked at each other as we took our first bite of the char siu banh mi. It reminded us of the hole in the wall place we grew up on. Bread so soft and toasty, with the sweet pork, generous amount of mayo and pickled veggies (the only way to go lol). When I came back to try it again on a different day, it tasted more dry and less veggies. Maybe it's just on the staff who are making it. But still yummy! We also tried the small size of the beef stew with bread and my boyfriend liked it. Said he'd wanna try the noodles next time. I tried the flan coffee and salted coffee, i recommend both. My bff and her husband love the original viet coffee. My boyfriend loved the iced peach tea. Had volume, not too sweet and lovely peach flavor.
