Loved it! It feels like a neighborhood café with regulars who spend hours there working or reading, art work hanging on the wall, and a cozy vibe to make you linger and sip coffee leisurely. Coffee is great with some Vietnamese specialties. Pastries are good.

The coffee is good... but my veggie croissant sandwich was even better! The vibe here is very relaxed. It’s a nice place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. The building is easy to miss from the outside but beautiful on the inside.... Light and airy decor. A book exchange wall. Local art on the walls (including works by Eya Claire who I’m a huge fan of). Check it out!

One of our coworkers got us breakfast tacos and pastries to have for one of our meetings and everything was good!I only got a picture of the spinach mushroom cheese and egg breakfast taco, since everything got taken super fast.The chocolate chip scone was very good and I had not seen one so big! It was nice and chocolately, crumbly and compact as a scone should be and not overly sweet. It sure was tasty and went well with coffee.

I love this little spot! The Tokyo Match Crepe is sincerely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Great coffee options and baked goods/macaroons too. Always very satisfied with my choice of food and drink. Friendly service as well. Would recommend stopping by for brunch or a little treat.

Good place to work. Lots of seating, and music selection is conducive to focus. There are also benefits like a printing service and bookable conference rooms. Theres also a book exchange.I like to get the pastries and sandwiches here. Great to come in the morning, get lunch, then keep reading/working in the afternoon.

We came to visit for the weekend and had to come twice! We only had their coffee and it was so great! It is such a cute place with wonderful art work. Staff was great too.

So I really wanted to like this place...great location, cool set up. We were looking for a local spot for good pastries and coffee. I liked the shop, very fun feel. The breakfast tacos were great! Really enjoyed those. But thats about where it stops for me unfortunately. The staff seemed really engaging with their regulars but barely had time to say anything to us. They forgot to bring my Danish and then told me it was still warming up... it was cold when I got it and tasted like it was a day or two old, the croissant wasnt flaky, but more tough and mushy. Good flavor overall but lackluster. Maybe next time Im out will give it another go because all the other reviews really had me excited.

My favorite place to get an Iced Mocha in town. Very good coffee and great bagel sandwiches. Cleanliness seems to be a minor issue whenever I am in there but very small complaint.

Super cute and comfy Coffee House. They have a few kolaches and pastries available for sale along with a few other items that are on the board.The coffee and hot chocolate we ordered were outstanding! The staff immediately greeted this as soon as we walked in and were great at following up to make sure we were doing okay.The artwork that they had up on the walls was fascinating! Take a moment to check some of it out if you stop in.Located on the south side of Austin, this is a great stop thats off the beaten path.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this café yet! I visit about once a week.The quality is consistent, service is casual and attentive, and my partner and I are convinced they have the best espresso in town. They specialize in crepes, which are delicious, but don’t underestimate breakfast tacos! Or the croissant sandwich. Gosh, at this point I think I’ve eaten everything on the menu... you really can’t go wrong.

Review №29

Didn’t get to try it. I’ve I Had my eye on this place for a couple of days and really wanted to try it. I pass by at 6:45am to go to school later so I waited until seven for it to open and then once it was 7 AM I had to knock on the door and the guy working just looked at me looked away and didn’t acknowledge me. He didn’t open the door or say anything so I just left after a couple minutes because I can already tell that I would have gotten bad service

Very good customer service. I ordered through DoorDash and my order was slightly off which happened to be a DoorDash problem and not there fault and they were kind enough to let me get another sandwich. Very Good Food and Coffee!

Friendly staff. Interior is very relaxing. But I spent $10 on warm coffee. Thermometers are not used here so it will be a hit or miss. Im still in search of a great latte in Austin but not here.

Review №33

We got there at 8:04am. 4 minutes after they opened. The gentleman behind the counter was super nice and wasnt upset that we showed up right when they opened. I ordered a mocha frappe which was delicious and we ordered two crepes. We sat down and the coffee was brought to us promptly.About 40 minutes had passed and no crepe. I went to check on them and the gentleman was surprised that we didnt receive them yet. Turns out the printer got disconnected... Not their fault.The lady from the kitchen came out and apologized to us again and asked if we want anything else.. We asked if we could have a chocolate croissant. They brought us TWO chocolate croissants and fresh squeezed lemonade that we didnt even ask for. So kind of them!Our crepes arrived shortly after that and was delicious.I would recommend this place to everyone and be back. Food was good and the service was very good as well.:)

It is a very welcoming place, where you can spend time admiring the paintings of emerging artists, reading a book or using your laptop.the coffee and milk is delicious and even the dishes I tasted are excellent!the menu has a wide selection of sweet and savory items and there is a showcase with croissants and panini with wurstel (I do not remember the exact name).the prices are equivalent to the quality of the product.a place to go often to!

I had the crepe Versailles and macarons. The crepe was perfectly savory and well balanced of ingredients. I tried the pistachio, raspberry, and lemon macarons. The lemon was my fave. They were softer than macarons I’ve had before but I really liked the texture.I only popped into the restaurant to pick up, but the vibe was cute! I love the little Knick knacks for sale. I’ll definitely have to dine in soon.

This is our local coffee shop and while its pretty good, its a bummer that the staff is never personable and have the attitude that they dont want to be there. Almost always we have to say hi to the staff first.

I cant believe I just now found this place! The selection of coffees are unique and authentic. I didnt get a chance to try the crepes but would love to come back any try. I like my coffee sweet and milky, so I got the cafe creme brûlée and it was delicious! I could taste the buttery sugar glaze in the coffee.The staff is super welcoming and friendly. I love how its a quiet but comfortable indoor atmosphere, even though right now they are offering indoor seating due to covid. I highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

Best latte and crepe Ive had so far. My go to place in Houston is CoCo Crepes, but this place is my new spot... Although Im not from Austin... I will be sure to stop here every visit I can make 💕 I had the Nottingham crepe and a cafe latte with vanilla... I love the bookshelf idea and the music playing was so relaxing. The staff is super nice and friendly. Parking wasnt so bad and the place was clean. Not so upscale but its very comfy.

They have wonderful lox bagels and put an amazing amount of salmon on them. One bagel was enough for a light breakfast for my girlfriend and I. Definitely adding this to a list of my favorites.Also, they were all wearing masks, which is very much appreciated.

Firstly, I love their coffee. Always awesome. Secondly, I got a taco from here this morning (9/11) and it was absolutely fire. I have too much anxiety to call and say that to a real person, but thats what the internet is for. Whoever was cooking today is IT. 10/10

Review №75

I ordered the cubano because a cafe in my town does an amazing cubano breve, and when I asked for this one as a breve I was told it was just a shot pulled with sugar, not a latte. Im not a black coffee/straight espresso person--too bitter--but for whatever reason I decided to try it anyway. It was delicious. Creamy and smooth and fruity, not too dark, with just enough sweetness. Also got a cafe gua nong which was lovely. Really enjoyed this place and looking forward to trying their food on another visit.

Review №87

As a long time patron of cafe creme, I am saddened by the owners lack of commitment to covid guidelines. There is a sign on the door that says mask required yet there are people strewn about the cafe not wearing masks. If you are like me and feel it is necessary for business to lead from the front and actually follow through with safety guidelines then take your business elsewhere.

Ordered a couple of tacos, a latte and a frappe. Order was prepared perfectly and the food was AWESOME. It was well seasoned and the corn tortillas were so fresh. I was kind of sad when the meal was done...Anyhow, Sue, thank you for being awesome and for making sure our Sunday breakfast was great.

Your search is over because you have found the best cafe in town. The food is incredible and the people who run the place are wonderful. Also, try one of the Vietnamese iced coffees for a refreshing start to the day. The crepes are of the highest quality and have a delicious selection- my favorite being the Bordeaux. Thank me later.2021 Update:Pecan Cold Brew is 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I have been here a few years ago and left with a bad taste in the mouth. The review then reflected it. The owner encouraged me to give it one more try and sent me a gift card.It took me 3 years (i think) to be here again and my experience has been nothing but great. Right from the moment i entered both the hosts greeted me promptly. I felt welcome immediately.Andy took my order and helped me with his opinion. He even asked me about the allergies today..apparently it was so obvious on my face.I had Bordeaux crepe and a latte. Loved the crepe because it was good combination of ingredients and sweetness. Dont like very sweet crepes. Latte was good.To the owner: That gift card was a good idea and probably decent investment. Without that i wouldnt have come here again.
