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 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.

The flavors and presentation were exceptional and there was extra effort made to ensure we were enjoying everything. The cost of our meals were totally reasonable. The traditional coffee costs a bit but it's fun and the flavor and experience make it worth trying at least once. Lots of other delicious looking items that will add to our interest in coming back again.

The signs out front say "Tina's" but it used to be Winnie's. It was empty when we walked in but…read moresomeone came out from the back. Wasn't friendly but wasn't... mean. Just seemed annoyed to be there or annoyed we interrupted her. We had every intention of ordering breakfast and coffee but as we looked at the menu and spoke amongst ourselves, we would get interrupted with "no turkey today" since my friend wanted the egg sandwich but also likes to add more protein to it. So when asked what all comes with the egg sandwich, she seemed annoyed and responded with "egg. Cheese." So we just ordered a latte and a salted caramel latte. My latte an Americano with an oatmilk topper, not a latte. My friend did not complain about his salted caramel latte, which he ordered with three extra espresso shots and she only charged him once extra fee. I will say she became much more friendly and amenable once he tipped her 30% on the order but I can't say I would come again.

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*

The setup is…read moresuper casual and easy -- it's self-service and you just seat yourself, which I actually loved because it made everything feel relaxed and unhurried. We chose to sit out on the patio, which had a really great view and a nice open feel. Even though it was a little chilly outside, they had heaters going so it stayed really comfortable, which made it easy to sit back, enjoy the scenery, and take your time. I ordered an omelet and it was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The coffee was great too, which for me is always a big part of a good breakfast place. The whole place has a really nice neighborhood vibe. Nothing overly fancy, just good food, good coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere. Sitting on the patio with the view, warm heaters, and a good cup of coffee made it a really enjoyable experience. If you're in the area and looking for a laid-back breakfast or brunch spot, this place is definitely worth checking out.

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!
