Bennu Coffee Highland

(Old Review) Always open, good spot for late night studying with coffee (New Review below). (New Review - Updated Apr 2024) I had been a frequent visitor (visiting almost twice a week throughout the year) in the past until I moved away from this location. I recently came back to pull some study sessions, and had two terrible experiences in a row, hence editing my initial review. First of all, their espresso now tastes extremely bitter, I asked them about it, and they told me the new manager specifically enforced it that way. Second time, I ordered a Cappuccino and Matcha Latte for my friend. Asked for two WiFi codes and the barista gave me an unpleasant look, like getting two WiFi codes is asking too much. Well, Cappuccino was okay but Matcha Latte tasted like the milk went bad. We asked to remake it but the same barista again gave us that look with an attitude. I don't know what her problem is. Really, is asking to remake the drink because it tastes really, really bad, like undrinkable bad (Matcha Latte should not be sour, at least as far as I know) worth such an attitude? I don't know what happened to this location but I think it's going downhill lately. Someone needs to do something about it.

Just to let yall know, the owners let things get to this point before replacing broken fridges/food display/etc. even when staff tells them far in advance. They also don’t have yearly health inspections done. The last time they had one done was because someone made a complaint due to these conditions. P.S. watch out for the roaches

Great place to work for a few hours or longer. That’s kind of why everyone is there, so the atmosphere is right. You get a wifi password with purchase that lasts I think 3 hours from when you start using it. Staff were super friendly too :)

The coffee is as good as you make at home. Everything else is premade by others. Overpriced and underwhelming.

I placed two orders - the first one was an iced dirty chai and 3 macarons - macarons were good , dirty chai not so much-that’s one of my go to drinks to any coffee shop I visit and this one just tasted off.. which brings me to my second order I ordered an iced caramel macchiato and that was much better! The atmosphere here was nice ! Lots of college students studying hard. The shop plays music at the perfect level to not disturb them . The playlist was a hit. I spent a total of like $27 for both orders.
