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.

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*

TRÀ Viet Coffee & Tea - Renton

Family-owned & operated

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!

From that point on, the service from one particular staff member felt off and unsettling. There was an overall energy that made us feel unwelcome, which really affected the experience. The way our food was handled--almost tossed onto the table--came across as careless and disrespectful. I understand everyone has off days, but customer service should never make guests feel uncomfortable or unwanted. I hope this is addressed, because it has the potential to turn people away.

I ordered the corned beef and hash, but pointed at the menu while ordering and ended up receiving chicken fried steak. I debated sending it back, but didn't have time. The steak itself was a bit tough still, but the breading and sausage gravy were excellent. Eggs were really good, and hashbrowns were okay. I'll try the home style potatoes next time. Even with my order getting mixed up, I still enjoyed my meal and plan to return and actually try the corned beef and hash. Update- Stopped in for the corned beef. First time having it served like this. Lots of flavor.

I get it, late diners are drag and you all want to go home, but I've never come across this type of behavior in a restaurant before. The posted hours should be your hours - end of story. Couple this with my first extremely poor experience at this establishment, where our server was entirely focused on the owners family, (I know because pictures were up during the grand opening) and I am never bringing my family back. In fact I should have left a review for that travesty of an experience and I don't know why I was willing to give a second chance to begin with. These Fairwood locals will now spend 30 minutes to get to a cafe in Kent with better hours and service.

The staff are super friendly, and I love how easy it is to swing in - there's a big parking lot, plus both drive-thru and dine-in options.

The sandwich came loaded with fresh and pickled veggies, and since they make everything to order, I could customize it just how I like.

It's always nice to find a spot that's consistently great, with quick service, solid food, and good vibes every time. Definitely a local gem worth checking out.
