The service is always friendly and efficient. Though the footprint of the shop is small, they offer plenty of indoor seating and a charming patio area. Great for a quick caffeine fix or a relaxed morning bite. One small downside: if you're eyeing a seasonal drink with decorative toppings, skip the 'to-go' order. They don't include the garnishes on takeout drinks, so you'll miss out on the full presentation.

I really wanted to like this place because of the great reviews, but it was just okay. The seating…read morearea is a little awkward. I ordered the almond brown sugar latte, and it tasted watered down, overly sweet, and the almond syrup was overpowering. After seeing photos online, I asked if they served food. The staff initially said no, then pointed me toward the pastry case. I ended up getting a kolache, which could have been toasted longer because it was still doughy and slightly undercooked. The staff was friendly, but overall they weren't very helpful. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype.

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.

I've become one of those people. The ones who quietly drift…read moreaway from coffee and discover matcha... only to become completely obsessed. No regrets. And if my bank account would cooperate, I'd happily be drinking a matcha from Cafe du Bliss every single day of the week. This little family-owned café has completely stolen my heart. First things first--it's tiny. Like, blink-and-you've-missed-all-the-seats tiny. If your goal is to settle in with your drink, get there when they open at 9:00 because those seats disappear faster than free samples at Costco. (I've also noticed people walking in and immediately grabbing drinks that are already waiting for them, so apparently online ordering is a thing. My next personal mission is figuring that out because I clearly need this knowledge in my life.) Now... the drinks. Every single one we've tried has been exceptional. My personal happy place is their matcha lineup. The Strawberry Matcha? Outstanding. The Strawberry Cloud Matcha? Equally fantastic. The matcha is beautifully vibrant without that bitter, overly grassy punch that turns so many people away. The strawberry complements it instead of overpowering it, creating a drink that's balanced, refreshing, and somehow disappears far too quickly. I keep telling myself I'm going to branch out and order something different... but then I see that beautiful green matcha again and all my self-control leaves the building. The Banana Matcha Latte is officially next on my list. I also "borrowed" a few sips from my twins' drinks (that's what moms do). The Mascarpone Tiramisu Latte? Dangerously delicious. The Dalgona Brown Sugar Latte? Equally impressive. Honestly, at this point I'm starting to believe they simply don't know how to make a bad drink. The only menu item that didn't completely win me over was the Strawberry Banana Croffle. The croffle itself was lovely, but for my taste, the chocolate pushed it over the sweetness line. Without it, I think it would have been just about perfect. (For those wondering: A croffle is a Korean croissant + waffle dessert.) And here's the thing... One menu item that wasn't my favorite doesn't even come close to changing my opinion of this place. Not even a little. The drinks are consistently outstanding. The service has been warm every single visit. The fact that it's a family-owned business makes me want to support them even more. Finding a café that gets me genuinely excited to try my way through the menu is rare. Cafe du Bliss has done exactly that. Now if you'll excuse me, I suddenly have an overwhelming craving for a Strawberry Matcha...

My friends put me on to this place, and it did not disappoint!…read more This cute café is tucked away in the Arboretum shopping center in Austin. It's kind of hidden in a corner, so if you're having trouble finding it, I recommend using one of the large maps on-site to make it easier. I ordered the Banana Matcha Cloud and a Blueberry Croffle. After my first bite, I immediately regretted not ordering a few extra croffles for the road--but I guess that just gives me an excuse to come back and try the rest of the menu. If you're unfamiliar with croffles, they're croissants pressed into crispy, buttery perfection in a waffle maker. They're topped with an assortment of mouthwatering ingredients before being served, making for an incredibly aesthetic (and delicious) treat. They also serve warm, freshly made taiyaki with a variety of fillings that are just as tempting. This place stays busy, and for good reason. Even if there's a line, it's absolutely worth the wait. They move through orders quickly, the service is efficient, and the quality never seems to suffer. I left completely satisfied, and this spot has definitely earned a place on my list of cafés I'll happily keep coming back to.

The Chickpea "Chick'n" Salad Sandwich was really good and packed with flavor. The portion was so generous that I ended up taking half home for dinner! My friends enjoyed both the Fajitas Ricas and the House Special Omelet. For dessert, the Blueberry Cornbread was delicious--not overly sweet, which I really liked. The Cinnamon Roll was just okay; it was a little doughy for my taste. Overall, the portions are generous, there are plenty of creative vegetarian and vegan options, and it's definitely a place I'd come back to try more of the menu.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

UPDATE: many reviews mentioned 4 hour parking, but this is no longer true - it is 2 HOUR parking the with a fee of $10 afterword. Not ideal for a remote working location for more than a short break. Matcha was one of the more expensive in Austin but solid. Food was great (got the birria tacos which were SO tender, although I did have a slight stomach ache right after - maybe just the grease). Went on a Tues during the day and there were many people working upstairs (quietly), but available seats for 2 or 3 ppl downstairs.
