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 great and was just as good as their Oltorf location. The crepes were fresh and satisfying, and both drinks were really well made. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the location makes it such an easy, relaxing stop downtown. It’s a great place to refuel after a walk or to settle in for a bit. Really happy to have Cafe Crème in this spot when working from the library or simply chilling out on a weekend morning.
We were looking for a new coffee place as we were visiting Austin for the week and like to try different restaurants. The clean, comfy look of Cafe Crème drew us in. Unfortunately the lack of staff, lukewarm coffee and seriously stale almond croissant will keep us from going back. I ordered my usual, drip coffee with oat milk. I also ordered an almond croissant because it looked great. We were handed a number flag for a to go order and told someone would bring the croissant out to us. 5 mins later we get a call and my BF grabs the two coffees, still no croissant. We wait another 5 mins then I go to the front where the counter clerk, who is working solo apologies and asks the young kid who is just wandering around if there is an order for a croissant. He nonchalantly says yes. Bags it up without and hurry or apology and hands it to me. While the place is lovely, except for the young lady working alone trying to cover the entire front, I would say the lax attitude gives question to managements lack of concern for staff and QM. Not on my list of places to revisit which is unfortunate as the location is great with it being downtown amongst the art and beautiful buildings.
It was my first time having a savory crepe and it was good. I also enjoyed their crème iced coffee. The cafe has plants and comfortable lighting which makes it feel lively and aesthetically pleasing. The music they played was soft and didn't disturb my work, granted that I wore a headphone. The outside sits are comfortable and it's right next to the Austin Library. overall, I had a wonderful experience. Thank you! ✨
Visiting Austin, this place puts my home city to shame! Cosy vibes, great WiFi for working and good coffee. Crepes were tasty but I was sad the crepe wasn’t fresh given the price - it’s just reheated with toppings. Coffee was great though. Comfortable seating, child friendly and quiet enough to get work done too.
Super sweet owners and kind staff. Lovely interior and huge gathering space outside on the patio! The crepes were so YUMMY and my iced latte was delicious served in a cute mason jar. I loved all the options they had to offer and will definitely be back!! Perfect location to step right onto the trail to run or walk and parking was easy you can even get an hour free in the garage.
