Café Crème is located inside the Austin Central Library. Please note they have two separate areas to order. You can order directly inside the cafe at their main cashier, or they have a window accessing the library's main lobby where you can place an order through one of their self-order kiosks. I decided to go with the latter since I just wanted to grab something quick and explore the library. Placing an order through their self-order kiosks was very easy and my order was ready in probably five minutes. Please note I visited on a Saturday morning and they were crazy busy, but the staff was working hard to ensure they got everything out as quickly as possible. My coffee was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend coming to Cafe Creme and taking your drink to-go so you can explore the Austin Central Library. read more

The coffee here was wonderful! I really enjoyed the easy walk from the Proper hotel. I'm not from Austin. I'm from Houston, but this was a nice little café to enjoy coffee and a nice read from the library. The people are very kind and generous! I especially love the kitty cat design on my mocha! read more

Café Crème - Hot Mocha - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

Cafe is located inside the Austin Central Library and its adorbs and good. Ample counter and table seating as well as living area style with sofas (no food or drink zone). They've games you can play and books, a small gift shop area, etc. Serving brekkie, lunch, snacks, tea, soda, coffee. This would have been a five star review but... Boyfriend ordered a crème brûlée frappe and I ordered a vanilla bean frappe. The labels on our drinks were accurate. However, we both received crème brûlée. It's fine because it was delicious and not worth wasting. I just really wanted vanilla lol. read more

Our first encounter with a coffee shop entitled Café Crème was in Cannes, France. Not sure if these coffee shops are related or separate and distinct. The coffee shop is connected to the Austin Central Library through a shared entrance. Café Crème is a medium-sized coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating with floor to ceiling windows. The view from the coffee shop is aesthetically pleasing. You walk-in, grab a menu and place your order. You pick up your drink from the counter and they deliver food to your table based on your table number stand. Service was quick and efficient. With our first time dining at Café Crème, we had no idea what to expect. The hubs and I were on brunch date in which I selected the restaurant. I ordered the croissant sandwich with turkey, brie and chutney, which came with kettle chips. The hubs opted for bacon, egg and cheese tacos. The food was ok. I also had a Creme Brule latte (rather fitting for a cafe called Café Crème), which was quite tasty. read more

Wow, I LOVED eating here. I had originally just come to check out the architecture of the library, but I thought I'd stop for a quick bite. I didn't expect to be one of the best dishes I've had in my week here. I got the savory crepe madame, and it was incredible. I also got the frozen crème brûlée coffee, and I like that it felt like a refined caramel beverage. All in all, I would certainly return. The service is largely self-serve, though the staff is nice. Great location with tons of space, mix of "living room" style and coffee shop style seating. read more

Pretty cool local cafe attached to the Austin Public Library @ Downtown. They make a good matcha, and their coffee is great too! Love their crepes, but a little on the pricey side. Pastries are serviceable - not bad, but nothing to write home about either. Be prepared for a long wait when you come here during lunch time, though! read more

What a great ambiance for a brunch spot. The interior was very trendy and aesthetic. They even had board game people could play. The service was fast. I got the turkey and cheddar sandwiches with a side salad. It was savory and delicious with the pesto. The salmon salad was also refreshing. A great place! read more

The place is super cute! They have an outdoor patio and also indoor seating which is super charming. I got their spring seasonal iced honeycomb latte.

What a beautiful cafe! Thank you to all the lovely reviews that helped us decide to visit this cafe. This cafe is right next to the library and there is parking available with an hour free and later charged. We ordered drip coffee, espresso, everything seed bagel with light cream cheese and egg bacon cheddar sandwich. We also tried the short bread cookies and they were delicious! Everything was made to perfection. The ambience was amazing! Well lit, airy, the staff is very friendly. A must visit if you're a local or visiting Austin. read more

Overall: 3.9/5 [dine in] Cafe Creme is conveniently located right next to the library, so it attracts a lot of people who come to study. The space is huge and unique, with art on display that you can buy. Menus are left at the front for you to review, and when you are ready to order you can go up to the cashier. They give you a table number so they know who to bring the food out to but drinks are picked up at the counter by the cashier. They have self serve water and to go box stations which are convenient, and the restroom code is printed on the receipt. Nova Scotia Crepe ($16) + Fried Egg ($2): Smoked salmon, honey mustard, spinach, tomato, onion, capers. It was good with the fried egg on top but tasted a bit plain without it. I prefer smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese rather than in a crepe. Saigon Crepe ($16) + Fried Egg ($2): Skirt steak, potato, cheddar, onion, spinach, soy sauce. This crepe is not available after 8 PM. My husband got his without cheddar, so I thought it was lacking flavor. However, my husband liked his crepe and thought it was better than he expected. Collagen Protein Latte With Oat Milk: Tastes like it sounds, a collagen iced milk coffee. read more

I love the new Cafe Crème location at the central library! I've been their other location many times to work at and grab a coffee but this location has an amazing happy hour with $5 cocktails. You can't beat that and the cocktails we had were very spirit forward and delicious! They make delicious crepes as well, both savory and sweet. This place is a great day and night time spot, is beautifully decorated and I will be back. read more

This is a cute, casual place for coffee and sandwiches. They have a decent amount of indoor seating, as well as some nice covered outdoor tables. The location itself though is surrounded by homeless folks since it's right next to the library, and while we were there they had to get the police involved to help remove a gentleman who wouldn't get out of the way of the ordering line. read more

Absolutely delicious spot! From our coffees to the food to the service, had such a great experience. It is a walk up and order place. They give you the drink at the counter and bring the food to you. We asked questions and the server was great at providing details and recommendations. The food got delivered, some a little slower than others. But all tasted wonderful whether it was the almond croissant or the smoked salmon sandwich or the crepes. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Inside was a little cozier but it was really busy so we sat outside. The place stayed consistent with the crowd as well. You do have to pay for parking in the garage or on the street. read more

Café Crème - Collagen Crush Latte - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

I saw this place last time I was at the Austin Public Library. I luckily had an opportunity to grab breakfast here while on my way to an event hosted by a clothing brand across the river at Butler Pitch & Putt. I originally wanted Desnudo but the line was too long when I walked by, and this was an easy route change from where I first started walking from. There was no line and I ordered very soon after arriving. They have plenty signage and enough menus to go around for everyone! I got an oatmilk PSL and lox sandwich on bagel (you can get it on croissant too since this is a French inspired cafe). The PSL was lovely, and the lox sandwich lasted for my whole walk from Cesar Chavez across the Pflugerville pedestrian bridge with limited cream cheese melt. The lox bagel sandwich has beat the other bagel shops I've tried here, although I technically haven't ordered the exact same thing at the others. But I can tell that it's on a different, more "NY" level. Kudos to the owners & what a great location by the library! read more

Absolutely fell in love with this cafe. I was meeting some colleagues for a library visit when I noticed the library didn't open until 9am. Then I noticed the attached cafe was open! I walked in from the street and was transported to the cutest, cozy, chill cafe. The menu was extensive with delicious breakfast and lunch items! The drink menu had everything! And the ambiance was so inviting! There is plenty of seating and the staff was very nice and accommodating. I ended up ordering the Mexican latte and it did not disappoint! I don't have a picture because my colleagues showed up. Highly recommend! read more

Cute coffee shop located near the Austin public library in downtown. It is very spacious with lots of tables and fun board games you can borrow to play. I ordered the salmon crepe and it was a good portion but a little on the pricey side at being over $15. I enjoyed the side salad which had a lot of fresh ingredients and a tasty dressing. Would be a nice place to get work done or study, though they do have a sign posted to limit your time at the cafe for an hour or two. read more

Environment friendliness - doesn't have recycle bins * - doesn't have BYO / Personal cup discount Coffee and tea are good. Their espresso martini on the rocks is my new gem! Pros - Great view of the Colorado revir and the bridge. Feels very scenic outside as you step outside of cafe creme. - has a tall bar with few tall seats - happy hour: 4-6pm (everyday) - Plenty of seating inside and outside - wifi and restroom - $1 charge for alt milks options: 2%, skim, coconut, oat, almond Cons - despite being an extra-ordinary location: view from the outdoor patio is unbeatable! However, for some reason, lot of sketchy people seem to be around businesses in this Area especially the library. So, be careful and be aware of safety situations which occasionally arises out of nowhere. Some bad incidents seem to be always happening around. It feels like as if bad people and crimes are ruining the beautiful parts of Austin City. - 1 hour validation parking in library garage, can rarely come by here due to parking restrictions other than Monday and Tuesdays. read more

this is a beautiful cafe conveniently located inside the library. it has everything you need for a cozy hang or study session: comfy armchairs and couches, plus plenty of card and board games to choose from. the matcha latte was good, and i loved that the cups are nice and big. the service was very friendly as well! that said, i wasn't super fond of the layout near the entrance. the order counter is really tight and right next to the door, which makes the area feel pretty cramped. they also mentioned they could do latte art for my drink but didn't end up doing it, which was a little disappointing :'( read more

This place is awesome, and I don't know why that surprised me, but I did not expect a café next to a library to be awesome. The environment is beautiful, it was packed with people who just wanted to share the space, and the service was quick and efficient. Plus the drinks were good. I must've passed this café a million times on my way to the library and I don't know what took me so long to finally stop in, but I'm glad I did. read more

Coffee is good, food is good. Love that it's connected to the library and there is a window inside for to-go orders.

The cafe has a nice, aesthetic atmosphere. I liked the silverware, it was weighted right and it has nice grip on it, it has little grooves that feel nice on my fingers. However the food was ok. The Saigon crepe had too much soy sauce. And the weird thing was the soy sauce had a weird sweet taste to it. Coffee was good but it was a little too sugary for my taste. The Vietnamese coffee was high-key on point My brother says that his Nova Scotia crepe was yummy! Complimentary salad was super yummy! Overall would recommend! :) Some could be improved, but the silverware was wonderful. My fingers had fun. read more

Cute new spot at the library in downtown. The prices are on par with what other crepe and coffee shops around Austin are offering. The space is welcoming and well lit with plenty of seating. It's not the best coffee, but not the worst. Their lattes definitely have an artificial taste to it and their crepes are fine, nothing noteworthy. read more

MUST GO! Had a premade breakfast taco not expecting much, it was amazing! The homemade salsa is on point, green is . Had the Tuscany (savory) crepe w/ grilled chicken, tomato, spinach, onion, pesto and mozzarella- Amazing! The side salad is so yummy! Could eat just that! Hubby had the Nottingham (sweet) crepe with was strawberry, sweet cream w/ slivered almonds. It was great - not too sweet which I liked.

I'd post pics (because presentation was beautiful) but we ate it too fast! read more

I just wanted a hot chocolate in this 43 deg weather, but they were out of it. They had Mexican Hot chocolate, which the associate. explained as "spicier, like cinnamon".

Very limited, underground parking sucks, though. read more

Trying to find my favorite cafes to study or work at in Austin. Overall this place has great seating, although limited outlet spaces! Coffee is good I like their espresso blend, but they only have one option on drip. I ordered a crepe and there was a hair in it, but as someone who has worked in food service I know that accidents happen, and they remade it-- just something to consider. Overall good place and will come back for the ambience and vibes read more
