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!

We decided to get the chocolate almond croissant, kouign Amman, and the apple tart. Everything was delicious, but our fave was the chocolate almond croissant! I love the generous layer of almond frangipane along with the dark French chocolate. The croissant wasn't too buttery or too sweet or even too almond-y. I normally like my pastries warmed up but it was perfect even when it's room temperature. There are a few tables there so you can enjoy your pastries there if you'd like. They also have ice cream if you want that along with your pastries. It's safe to say I love this place and I'd love to go back and try their other pastries, especially the savory ones!

On a hot, sunny day around 2:50pm on Friday I decided to make the drive here after suddenly…read moreremembering one of my foodie friends had this place several times during other weekends. 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!

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.

I had to come back here a few times to get a better feel for the place and to give a better description of the joes they sell. I can honestly now say that after 3 times, their coffee is not that bad. However, the problem is that it's not that good either. The likely reason is that the latte they sell is just not consistently made like the way Starbucks and Tully's does it. Depending on who your barista is, it's basically hit or miss. One day, the coffee may be good. Other days, it may be horrible. read more

First off, the line can look intimidating at times, but they usually move quickly thanks to the team's efficiency and energy. The staff here consistently bring a positive vibe--friendly, upbeat, and genuinely engaging without slowing things down. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. They make you feel like more than just another car in line. And the drinks? Always on point. The Tropical Green Tea is incredibly refreshing, especially when you cut back on the sugar or even go no sugar--it still has great flavor without being overpowering. Same with the Golden Eagle Blended Freeze--it's rich, smooth, and surprisingly enjoyable even at half sweetness. They really do a great job customizing drinks without sacrificing quality. That said, today was a bit frustrating. One car ahead seemed to take an unusually long time--around 15-20 minutes--which caused the entire line to stall. I completely understand and appreciate friendly conversation (it's part of the Dutch Bros charm), but there has to be a balance. When there's a long line of people--many likely on their way to work--waiting that long for a single order just shouldn't happen. After sitting in the drive-thru for a while, I ended up switching it up and ordering ahead instead--and that experience was night and day. Much faster, smoother, and honestly what I'd recommend if you're in a hurry. Overall, this is still one of my go-to spots. The drinks are consistently great, the staff are awesome, and it's a fantastic location to have in Renton. Today felt more like an exception than the rule, but hopefully it's something they tighten up--because when they're on, they're really on.
