Chao Cafe
10901 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“This vibrant Austin spot has mastered Vietnamese coffee culture, pulling rich, intensely flavored brews that customers rave about—especially their famous egg coffee and Vietnamese iced coffee that hits just right. Beyond the coffee itself, Chao Cafe feels like a welcoming third space with plenty of room to spread out, games to play, and a considerate staff that makes you want to linger whether you're studying, meeting friends, or exploring their impressive selection of Vietnamese pastries and desserts. It's the kind of place where strong coffee, thoughtful service, and genuine hospitality combine to create somewhere you'll find yourself choosing again and again.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
