I live in the building where this place is located. It's nice inside, even though frequently very packed, but sadly their employees possess the stereotypical Gen Z attitude, giving minimal effort, if any, in customer service and in making the drinks. As a result, a lot of drinks aren't good and service and friendliness is severely lacking. I'm not a student and I don't need a place to study or work, but it is convenient to get coffee or tea and a pastry or other food, since I live right by it. I used to frequent the east location when I was a student, and the quality of the drinks and food was much better then. I see other reviews mention similar problems, so maybe they do not care about providing good service and making quality coffee, and instead focus on providing internet and a place to work or study for people, since a lot of people will go despite the shitty service just because they need a spot like this. Unfortunately, because of the lack of service, quality, and care for the items prepared I find myself going to the other coffee places nearby, such as Paris Baguette. I would definitely find myself supporting this local establishment if things changed, but for now, I cannot fully recommend. I gave it 3 stars, however I would actually give it 2.5. read more

This is a great place to hang out. The cashier was very friendly and helpful and she spoke German and English. I loved the macarons they were delicious with several flavors to choose from. WiFi is available. There is comfortable seating reminding on a living room setting. I loved the book nook section with all the book shelves. It was very busy with a diverse age range. A lot of seating available and on Saturday afternoon were about 50 people present but with the spacious setting it did not feel crowded Definitely a place to return. read more

New key system of restrooms feels a bit inconvenient. There's a line of people waiting. Coffee is good, yet to try the pastries Environment friendliness - has marked trash and recycle bins - doesn't have BYO / Personal cup discount though Pros - has tall bars with nice tall seats - plenty of outlets - Plenty of seating inside and outside - has $2.5 coffee refills - wifi and restroom (requires purchase): 3 restrooms on the back Cons - Retail parking in the building, can get packed read more

Any coffee shop that is open for 24 hours has my heart. I think that's an underrated perk, especially in a big city. Night owls deserve a coffee shop too. So many coffee shops like to close at 3 or 4, so a shop that closes never is pretty big time. Located right off the ACC campus, Bennu Coffee was busy on the Sunday I went, with most tables being taken by people locked in on studying. Their menu was pretty expansive, but I got a vanilla latte while my girlfriend ordered one of their many mochas, which people told us they were known for. The drinks came out pretty quickly, and I thought my drink was good! It wasn't anything special, but it was good. RIYL: coffee at 4 am read more

1/4/2026 My wife and I were looking for a place to work around the area and Bennu was one of the few coffee spots open past 6 PM on a Sunday (24 hours!). We've been to the MLK location so we weren't sure what to expect on this one. We were lucky enough to find parking along the street when we arrived. When we entered the shop is pretty spacious with a variety of seating--big tables and smaller ones--nicely spread out. They do have some outdoor seating as well and there are a couple couches for anyone looking for something more comfortable. I ordered an iced latte and a blueberry muffin, basic but good! Definitely on a list of work spaces for the future!! read more

Bennu Coffee - Blueberry muffin and iced latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

The surface is OK they don't have enough options for different types of water. They have tables and chairs and it was pretty busy today. The lighting is OK. Music is OK. It looks like a inside warehouse and lots of people are just sitting minding their own beeswax on their computer and cell phone so it's not very uppity and upbeat. A few tables that need to be cleaned patio outside have metal chairs and metal tables somewhat needs to be cleaned up. The paint job needs to be fixed. He needs a facelift windows needs cleaning. Their menu option is OK. It's not a wild factor for me so far. read more

I have been here many times to meet up with friends, and I joined a book club that meets here every other Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. It has always been easy for me to find parking in the parking garage, but there is also street parking available. Since it is open 24/7, it is the perfect place to do some reading or studying. There are a lot of people here at night, but I have always been able to find a seat. They have a variety of seating here, including tables, couches, high-tops, and lounge chairs. They have a ton of outlets, including at the tables, so you can plug in your electronics. The noise volume is quiet, perfect for concentrating on whatever you need to get done. They do not allow outside food or drinks. They offer wifi if you make a purchase, and they have a free water station. There is a printer near the front door with instructions on how to pay and use it. The is a bookcase near the ordering counter with board games you can borrow as well as Bennu T-Shirt merchandise available for purchase. Overall, this is a great coffee shop if you want a place to go to concentrate on a project where you will be surrounded by focused people. read more

This place is amazing. Bennu is a 24/7 cafe located right next to highland acc. there is free wifi availible contingent on you buying a food/beverage and the wifi code comes with your food. the wifi will reset every 3 hours, then you must go buy another item for a new wifi code. the food and coffee is really good, and moderately priced, so i am okay with this system personally. the bennu aesthetic is very cozy and quiet, and theres lots of outlets availible to plug in devices. overall, this is a great place for studying and i highly recommend bennu! read more

Bennu Coffee isn't my favorite when it comes to the actual coffee--it's just okay to me--but I still find myself coming here because the space is great. There's tons of seating, plenty of outlets, and it's a solid spot to get work done or study without feeling rushed. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which definitely makes a difference. If you're looking for a laid-back environment to be productive, Bennu totally delivers. Just don't come expecting the best latte of your life. read more

I had a business meeting with a colleague and met at Bennu. Ordered a bagel to be a fair customer. I only ate half because I was focused on other matters. Then, I asked for it to be wrapped and the barista handed me a paper bag she said "are you serious". Put bagel in bag without the CC or napkins next to it. She proceeded to turn next to her colleague and mouth clearly "what an a**hole" Also, a slice of banana bread was $6.75. C'mon man, these are college kids. Cool vibe in the shop, that's it. read more

This review is based solely off of my attempts to even TRY to come here. I have tried to come on two separate occasions for a coffee and research session. And every single time, the place is so incredibly packed, that there isn't even ONE seat open inside or outside. The ambience looks nice, but so far in each of my attempts, it's been impossible to find anywhere to sit. And now I'm learning that they put time limits on your Wi-Fi usage? Ehhhh..... you're better off going to epoch coffee on NW Loop blvd which is literally an 8 min drive from ACC highland... That place is also a popular spot, and open 24/7, but I've never had any issues so far finding seating (even on weekends), and they don't limit your WiFi useage. read more

Came here at 2 am after the bar because we didn't want to go home but still wanted to chill and drink something. Service was great, I had an amazing Italian soda. Bathrooms clean, it was quiet inside where everyone was dutifully studying or working. So my friends and I hung outside as to maintain the quiet atmosphere inside. I felt very safe, everything looked clean, fresh and organized. I used to be a regular at the Bennu in downtown which is much smaller. Can't wait to come here again! read more

The two employees who are on shift 12pm on the 11th of April...get it together! The worst customer experience ever. The blonde was the worst representation of a Gen Z...dead pan face, didn't ask what I wanted to order just stared at me, below minimum effort. On top of that, she wouldn't even confirm she got my order, just a dead stare. After making our drinks, no effort to make an announcement, we had to go ask if those were our drinks. What happened to basic customer service. The bare mini would have been appreciated read more

Overall, a good cup of coffee in a very cute area! My only reason for not selecting five stars is the barista wasn't very friendly. Besides the customer service, this really is a good spot to get a strong coffee and work away. Plenty of seating options, lots of natural light, and they have a lot of snack options! read more

I've been here twice. First time was okay. 8/10. Went here again yesterday around 5am, homeless people were throughout the establishment. One's digging in trash outside, one's sleeping on couches. 5 different ones. Spread throughout the shop. Then, I get my coffee and it's barely lukewarm. Completely different from my first experience a year ago, but it's a huge stain for me. read more

Neatest coffee shop! Plenty of room, comfy seating and a ton of natural light!! Great service!!!

I really liked this shop. The space is open and welcoming, and the staff is very friendly. The vegan peanut butter cup was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The hibiscus mint tea was well brewed and delicious as well. Lots of seating options depending on your group size. The pastries looked amazing too. read more

I was so grateful that this coffee shop is open 24/7. I needed to get work done after the storm a few weeks ago - my apartment complex lost electricity. I was thrilled that I was able to plug in my computer, enjoy a tasty latte and work for a bit. read more

Love Bennu usually and come once a week. But their decaf options have been out of commission for weeks now! Hope those are back up and running soon. read more

Cool coffee shop to sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or even get some work/ studying done, they don't share their WiFi password unless you order something and even then is apparently only active for 3 hrs so be aware. Ordered the honey cream with oat and it was great! Definitely will be back. read more

Loved this cozy coffee shop! It's a perfect place to work from with ample tables and comfortable seating. They only provide wifi if you order something and it is capped at 3 hours. I thought that was fair. My friend and I ordered rose and lavender lattes which were delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

Cozy, clean, and PACKED, I stopped in here on a Tuesday to give myself a change of scenery while I worked on a little crochet project I needed to get done. It was almost impossible to find a seat. To be fair this location is right next to ACC so I should have guessed it would have been full. Thankfully it's spacious with plenty of options, think bar tops, chairs, sofas, and cushioned seating. There were lots of folks reading and researching on their laptops and such. The interior is bright and has the standard quirky café vibes. I saw a staff member go through a moveable bookshelf which was pretty neat. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and it was so yummy! I'll be back for a pastry and a blended drink in a unique flavor. They are fantastic in this Texas summertime heat. read more

I love that they have Rockstar Bagels! Literally right at my office and this is a great place to grab a bagel and an iced coffee to fuel my day. read more

Just when I thought I couldn't love coffee any harder, I stopped in for a double espresso with a dollop of steamed oat milk and omg yeah, I was immediately compelled to ask where they get their beans! Texas Coffee Traders dark roast, chef's kiss, perfection....and I really really enjoy that they have a decent vegan breakfast taco of refried beans, cactus (nopales) yummm perfect kick of flavor, and potato, the red sauce was literal fire, not for the faint of heart. Lovely staff that is knowledgeable, quick, and knows the drill. read more

Drinks sucks, if you're coming in here you're definitely doing it for the cozy ambiance or to study not the drinks or pastries.

Get the matcha with lavender sweetener. The decor inside is on point as well. Plenty of space to study and talk. read more

When on adventures, most mornings start with a coffee. In keeping with the grand tradition, I find myself perched on a couch in Bennu writing this up. First off, while are looks brand new. Facility included. There's kids riding bikes, people walking dogs, there's a yoga joint next door. People are on the patio and in the spacious lounge. Great spot to study, read, learn, or catch up. The staff are nice to chat with, they put up with my questions and even offered a sample during my beverage deliberations. I was gonna do the iced Bennu, the sample was great. A little too sweet for me. But then the barista told me to go for pumpkin. With that kind of affirmation for my love of pumpkin in the fall, how could I not? No regurts [sic]. Can't go wrong with good beans, and a chill environment for whatever you're trying to get into. read more

Bennu is a great local coffee shop in Austin offering several locations around the Austin area. I really loved the vibe of this coffee shop. Offering several different seating options including a couch, a giant desk, or a small table. So a great option for people who want to kick back and relax, go on a date, or work remotely for the day. Coffee and food were both great but I did have to wait for my breakfast burrito. They initially forgot about it and had to remind them about it. Overall I still enjoyed my experience and plan on going back many times. read more

I really enjoyed the ambiance of this Bennu Coffee location compared to the one at Martin Luther. The coffeehouse is much bigger with more seating and parking options. There are two parking garages so even if you're unable to grab a parking spot at the garage right next to the coffeehouse there is one not too far from it. Instead of a disposable cup, my Pride and Prejudice mocha was in a big glass mug. Since I went to the coffeehouse on Saturday finding a seat was a bit more difficult since there were a lot of people there working with assignments. This location didn't have loud music so it was super easy to focus in on my own work with no distractions. The restroom area had 3 gender inclusive stalls and were clean as well. Love the vibe here-- also the fact that it is located by ACC meant that the scenery in the location was top notch! read more

Service is quick, lots of seating options available and great place to study, read, or just meet up with friends. I liked the iced Blennu but still think it's a bit sweet for my preference. I've ordered their mochas hot and iced and it's a favorite among my co workers. read more

Pros: Good for working, lots of table and seating, free wifi for 3 hours. People are working so you are motivated to work too - this system works great for me lol Cons: Drinks are mediocre, I got a peach ginger tea which is not bad but forgettable. The service was lackluster, the people werent that enthusiastic about serving it feels like a big chain experience. The place is really crowded with students from Austin Community College as Bennu is on the school's campus. I saw that they have some vegan pastries but I'm not too tempted since Paris Baguette is just walking distance from Bennu and they make wonderful sweet treats :) I miss that dearly after moving to the US from Asia. Would I come back? may be if I need to focus to work, not really if I want good drinks and pleasant coffee shop experience. read more

Bennu Coffee - Interesting mocha selection - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went in, asked for a simple drink and the male taking my order was rude and unprofessional. He told me "This isn't Starbucks so tell me what you want"... All I asked for was a caramel macchiato. I then proceeded to describe the drink to him, and he told me he did not know how to make it, so I switched up my order to a latte, which was horrible. Disappointed would be an understatement, I will not be back at this location. read more

Located by ACC! Free retail parking and lots of seating. WiFi for 3 hours with purchase, dog friendly. Hard to find seats despite so many because a lot of students study here. Overall good vibes but the drinks really aren't that great. Ordered the matcha oat latte but it's nothing to write home about. If you come in not expecting much it's not bad! 3.5/5 if I could read more
