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 come here pretty often when I'm craving a quick bánh mì and Vietnamese coffee, and they never…read moremiss. 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. When they first opened the coffee was kinda lackin but recently I tried it again and the Vietnamese coffee hits every time strong, smooth, and exactly what I need. 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.

Had my eye on this place for awhile and I was delightfully pleased. My best friend, who was…read morevisiting from out of state, and I grew up in the same town. 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.

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 usually have nothing but great things to say about Dutch Bros Coffee, which is why today's…read moreexperience stood out so much. 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.

It was quick to order and get our drinks. I tried two different drinks, Banana Bread Mocha with Soft Top and a Golden Eagle.

I have commonly purchased Macadons, both macarons and their ice cream macarons, during street fairs…read moreand at Bobae. I was pleasantly surprised (and amused) to find their macarons with custom printing at the "REVIVE I-5" booth at the University Street Fair. I was amused enough to write a separate review for them. The quality of the artwork and print colors are fantastic and vibrant with the rainbow colors. Please see photo. If I was interested in custom macarons, I would most definitely order some from Macadons. The flavor in this case is a simple vanilla, which has its charms, though I typically buy other flavors. The shell doesn't have the characteristic slight crispy, which is understandable since these are not fresh from the store. The inside is a very creamy filling that squished out on the sides as I bite down. Everyone has their own texture preferences. I personally like it less creamy. I normally buy their ice cream macarons, but these are still very good. The individual boxes make them great for small gifts.

The barista was so kind and happily handed over 3 waters for my kids (who were very happy for hydration lol) and I ordered myself an energy drink for the drive home. I ordered one off of their menu and it was delicious! 10/10 we had a great experience and I'm thankful for the super nice barista who solved my mom fail!

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.
