Visited Elizabeth Street Café with a friend and had a really nice experience. The place itself is beautiful and cozy, and the staff was polite and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
We ordered the Ginger-Chili Oil Dumplings, Spicy Chicken Crunch Spring Rolls, Mushroom & Tofu Bun, and Chicken Banh Mi. The Chicken Banh Mi and the Dumplings were absolutely amazing and full of flavor — easily the highlights of the meal. The Spring Rolls and Mushroom & Tofu Bun were decent but felt more on the average side compared to the standout dishes.
We also tried their French Toast, and it was excellent — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and definitely something I’d recommend trying.
Overall, Elizabeth Street Café offers a great combination of good food, pleasant ambience, and friendly service. I’d happily come back again, especially for the Banh Mi, Dumplings, and French Toast.

Elizabeth Street Cafe on South Lamar in Austin is a culinary delight, masterfully blending the sophistication of French cuisine with the bold flavors of Vietnamese heritage. The ambiance echoes this fusion, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere.
The Vietnamese wonton soup, a creative reinterpretation of the classic French onion soup, was a highlight of our visit. Rich, comforting, and perfectly suited to a chilly evening, it showcased the cafe’s ability to reimagine familiar dishes with unexpected flair.
The Bahn Coun was a testament to the kitchen’s skill, with tender, expertly cooked meat and a harmonious balance of textures and flavors. Each component was carefully crafted to elevate the dish as a whole.
Dessert was a symphony of refined indulgence: the macarons were delicate, nuanced confections, while the chocolate sesame puff was a sublime marriage of crispy, nutty, and rich elements, a true tour de force of textural contrast and flavor pairing.
Overall, Elizabeth Street Cafe delivers a distinctive and captivating dining experience, one that will appeal to adventurous palaters and those seeking a sophisticated take on traditional flavors.

The spring rolls, pork belly buns, Saints and Sunsets mocktails, and Opera cake were delicious. My friend really liked her fried rice. I ordered the banh cuon, and although it was tasty with very authentic flavors, the steamed rice batter itself was quite thick. Pro: You get full really fast on just the dough. Con: You miss out on the tasty pork fillings, and like me, if you’re visiting from out of town and staying at a hotel, you have to leave behind half the dish because you can’t take back leftovers.

Elizabeth Café is an absolute gem!
I stopped in recently and was blown away by how warm, charming, and perfectly “Austin” this spot feels. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the service is quick, and everything on the menu tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. The vibes are cozy, bright, and just make you want to stay awhile.
My food and coffee were both perfect — full of flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell they really care about quality here. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast, meeting a friend, or just want a relaxing café to unwind, Elizabeth Café hits every mark.
Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back. ☕️

Beautiful place, full of tasteless food claiming to be Vietnamese
Vietnam is known for its rich, yet light, aromatic umami food that brings complexity and depth while maintaining simple, light and refreshing. The food here really didn’t bring the flavors I know and love, being Vietnamese.
I’ve had Bánh mì far better out of trucks,
If you want to try Banh mi that is really Vietnamese, please got to Baguette House on North Lamar. Or Cơm Tấm Pa Phi.
Pho from Pho Dan is also a great pick.
The chicken Pho was underwhelming 🙁 and very bland.
There was no Vietnamese pickled vegetables in my sandwhich. And if there was Pa Te I didn’t taste it.
It just makes me sad because to me Vietnamese food is so special, and they are boasting of having authentic Vietnamese food with Vietnamese names but just aren’t executing it and slandering what Vietnamese food really is. I’m assuming the good reviews are from people who don’t eat Vietnamese Food.
Despite appetizing visuals; the flavor didn’t suffice or measure up

We’ve been wanting to try this place for some time and yesterday we finally had the chance. We came in for Happy Hour on Thursday and ordered the Rice Paper Rolls (Crispy Chicken), Chili Oil Dumplings, Steamed Rice Rolls, and Drunken Noodles. All dishes were great!
Kai our server provided amazing service and made some great recommendations for us first timers..we’d come back for the service alone!

My husband and I visited Elisabeth Street Café on a Sunday for a late lunch, and street parking nearby was easy to find. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and, since we had a reservation, promptly shown to our table.
The tables are set quite close together – so, at times when the noise level is not deafening, it kind of feels like a large banquet table as one can overhear conversations from nearby guests. Overall, I had two main concerns during our visit:
Noise level: the restaurant was extremely loud. Voices from a large table carried throughout the room, making it difficult to hear my husband even when sitting directly across from him. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, and I would recommend that management consider adding sound-absorbing panels to help balance the acoustics.
Food spiciness: while the flavors were bold, the redfish dish was overwhelmingly spicy. I usually tolerate heat quite well, but this level of spice left me with severe reflux, which is very uncommon for me. It would be helpful if the staff asked guests about their spice tolerance before serving dishes prepared with such intensity.
Elisabeth Street Café has great potential, with a lovely ambiance and attentive service, but addressing the noise and spice-level concerns would make the dining experience much more enjoyable.

The food was outstanding, a solid 50/10. The presentation, dish choices, flavors, and temperature were all amazing. However, the service left much to be desired. I initially thought I could give them the benefit of the doubt, considering they were transitioning into dinner service, but I was never offered anything to drink beyond the water that their attentive busser provided. Even though I was dining alone, I had to encourage a family of three to seek out their server. The inattentiveness of the staff was frustrating, and I can’t honestly recommend this place for a dining experience but I would for take out.

Charming place with delicious food and decent service. The staff’s outfits are the same dress in various colors which is so cute. The spring rolls were very fresh and tasty as was the pho. Many different seating options including inside, outside and at the cafe bar. Outside seating requires a bit more of a wait. Will definitely return!

Solid meal, really great service and an amazing vibe! All the dishes are solid, but the French toast is REALLY good. So good in fact, that I ate it before I thought to take a photo.
Highly recommend getting everything as family style and splitting it up!
