Really excited to come back here! The staff are so sweet and the vibe is great. Quiet and relaxing environment. Had the mango matcha which was delicious, but I'm excited to try other drinks. I was also surprised by how yummy the pastries were. I'm glad I got one and can't wait to try more!
Needed a caffeine boost on the drive back to San Antonio and this was nearby. I’m a huge fan of Vietnamese coffee and really intrigued by their menu. The cafe itself is really nice and in a really convenient spot. I ended up getting a classic Vietnamese coffee and egg coffee. Both were really good. Their Vietnamese coffee was really good and had a really unique flavor from the beans the use. Never had an egg coffee but really liked it. The egg foam was tasty and really complimented the coffee well.
The best matcha drink I’ve had in Austin, and if you’re wanting some extra flare with it, ask for the matchanana iced latte! It’s delicious and tastes amazing. I also got one of their breakfast pastries, which they heat up for you. Definitely see myself coming back to try the whole menu over time and bonus points for this place being across the street from ACC!
One of the few places I decided to visit for my Austin cafe hopping expedition! I loved the free parking garage, I think so far the easiest to find parking for (granted that I did go on a weekday) Loved the viet coffee so much, so strong! Their Matchanana was sooo good, I wish the banana taste was also with the matcha latte and not just the cream but understandable that the drink is better with the cream! Baristas were nice and helped me with my questions! I saw that they had pastries too, cute place to sit and study or catch up with friends :-)
Rating: 4/5 Dam is a spacious coffee shop with plenty of seating and a calm atmosphere. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet inside. The drink cup sizes do run a bit small though. Matchanana ($7) + Oat Milk ($0.75): There was a lot of banana cream, which ended up overpowering the matcha, making it hard to taste. I also don't think they topped my drink with banana chips like in some of the photos. However, if you love banana, this drink is definitely for you. Strawberry Matcha Latte ($7) + Oat Milk ($0.75): Better than the Matchanana. The matcha flavor was stronger, and their strawberry syrup is one of the best I've tried. My husband asked for his drink to be sweeter, and the extra jam they added made it even better. Overall, the matchas didn't stand out, but I would come back to try their Vietnamese coffee.
