Pretty neat hangout spot. The food and beverages for order are surprisingly cheap. They provide board games to pass the time. Will definitely come back when it’s dark and rainy all day and I want to do something outside the house
First off let me say this place is adorable and I will stop by again cos it's close to my house and they have Famous Amos cookies.
That being said I need the corn chowder to actually be a chowder and not whatever I got. It was a cup of sugar with croutons on top. Everything else was great tho.
Love this place. Went here during the grand opening and was spellblinded by the amazing service offered, the cashier up front was very attentive and I apperciate her service and energy.
The coffee was great and they have a very large extensive menu that no other Renton store has. We are talking about authentic Indian chai, falooda, and different types of cultural beverages with comparable prices to fast food places yet amazing quality.
I really apperciate the authenticity in the ingredients and I enjoy the cultural diffusion going on. Renton seriously needed an Indian beverage place and this place serves just that.
I got the rose latte, it was lovely and not too sweet. It’s hard to get rose flavoring right, but this place knows how to do it perfectly. I definitely would get this again, but I really do want to get the milkshakes next time though!
All the items are insanely cheap, I did not spot hardly anything above $3.
Food was standard, however I will be coming again to try their samosas. I had the chicken nuggets with the house special sauce and it was fine as well. They shine more in their Asian dishes so no surprise there.
They are also the only boba place in downtown Renton that I know of as well now that Ding Tea is relocating.
But overall, this place gets a five out of five for me. The location was great and clean, food was fine, drinks were good, cheap as heck, free wifi, what more could you want? I can totally see this place as one that celebrates community, diversity, and provides a very home-y vibe reminiscent of the chill corner shop vibes.
My recommendations:
Drinks: Rosa Latte, falooda milkshake, rose milk tea, and their chai (which is authentic!!!)
Food: Apple blossom pie, onion pakode, potato samosas, and spicy chicken sandwich.
Stopped in on this rainy Sunday afternoon and was uplifted and nourished by the friendly cashier, flowers and unique art, and a bowl of delicious tomato soup with coffee for just a few dollars. This truly feels like a safe and clean community market.
This is a really nice new addition to the neighborhood. It's only been "soft open" for a few weeks so not everything is ready yet. So far, there is an amazing selection of snacks and good prices on basic necessities like soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, etc. I didn't see many items over $3 other than cigarettes. The owner let me have a free sample of some coffee that he will serve in the cafe later and it definitely had a unique flavor. Looking forward to trying more when the cafe officially opens.
