Café Crème - Downtown
710 W Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Tucked right next to Austin's downtown library, this sprawling café draws everyone from serious students to casual explorers with its vibrant, art-filled space and generous seating that invites you to linger for hours. Their Vietnamese coffee is a standout, though they take equal care with traditional espresso drinks, and the lush greenery throughout paired with excellent natural light makes it feel less like a coffee shop and more like a creative refuge. The welcoming staff and thoughtful touches like board games transform what could be a simple caffeine stop into the kind of place where you genuinely want to spend your afternoon.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Wifi.

Delicious and nice coffee shop. We stopped by to grab coffee and enjoy our evening. This place did not disappoint! From the decor from the fact that they also have board games. The staff was amazing and kind, I hope to come back when visiting Austin.

I ordered Earl a great tea. They served it not lukewarm, but definitely not boiled. Then they tell me no we don’t boil water. If you’re a tea drinker, you know you have to drink tea at 212° which is boiling so I left it at the counter disgruntled and ordered a latte to take a…
We stopped by Cafe Crème’s new location attached to the Downtown Main Public Library after a walk around Town Lake on a cool Sunday morning. It was the perfect follow-up. We ordered a cappuccino, a matcha tea, a Nutella strawberry crepe, and a crepe madame. Everything tasted…
