Looks like a neat, quiet spot to study. I ordered a large hot coffee to-go, but the paper cup quality was atrocious. The coffee was decent, but this is the first time I've ever been to a cafe and had a problem with the quality of the cups... I was walking with the paper cup in my hand, and since the paper was very thin, it was very hot to hold (even with a sleeve) and didn't hold structure. Then within 30 minutes, the paper was so thin that the cup had deformed and started to get soggy and squishy. Pics attached.
I'll emphasize that the coffee was actually quite good, decent prices, and the service was great, but I think I would've had a better time dining in or just with nicer paper cups.

Good space for coffee and study/work/chill. Nice staff and the coffee/drinks are above average. The breakfast options are above average too. Location is a major plus!

As someone who works in a coffee shop I'll say the atmosphere was cool. The house brew is actually pretty good. However I was quite disappointed for my brother who ordered the Iced Bennu, which was like 1 part drink, 3 parts ice. (Should be the other way around) As well staffed as y'all are, I would revisit drink ratios Bennu Coffee; because you're kiiiiinda ripping off your customers.

I visited Bennu this morning wearing enemy gear (ATM), and the baristo was kind anyway.
I asked for a mocha recommendation and one suggestion he gave was the Raven as being a less sweet option. I’m so glad I took his suggestion. Unlike most coffee house mochas, the Raven lets the coffee take center stage rather than cloying sweetness.
Highly recommend.

A great coffee shop here in downtown Austin. The prices and internet is great and the coffee is good to boot. I tried their pizza and one of their handmade peanut butter cups and both are delicious. I'll definitely miss coming here.

Got two matcha green teas while waiting for an event to start downtown. The drink itself wasn’t bad, but also not the best green tea I’ve had in Austin. It’s a bit expensive (6+) compared to a Starbucks (5+) drink.

Great coffee and a convenient place to hang out late at night while I created music, prose, or what have you. I love the pizza selections and the staff was always friendly. I moved to Berlin recently but I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for this place.

great vibes and great service. the baristas made me feel like they knew me for years and it was my first time there. amazing coffee too and the presentation is beautiful. only critique for me is that there weren’t many outlets so i couldn’t plug my laptop in, since it was busy when i arrived

The stars are for the coffee. The coffee, the actual coffee, was the best I had while visiting Austin. It’s smooth and reasonably priced.
They offer breakfast tacos that are OK.
The staff were nice and they appeared to be dog friendly.

One of the few places that's open all the time. They've got coffee, tea, and vegan-friendly food as well as a printer!!
Perfect spot for night owls to get work done, stop at after a graveyard shift, sunrise dates, etc.
