Elizabeth Street Cafe is a cozy gem serving vibrant French and Vietnamese dishes, with friendly vibes and a deliciously diverse menu that keeps everyone happy.
"File Under: Probably the cutest place you’re going to eat this year. Elizabeth Street Cafe is a French Vietnamese restaurant that serves great banh mi and noodle dishes, but also excellent coffee and croissants. One thing worth noting is that while the food at Elizabeth Street Cafe is very good, much like its interior aesthetic, it’s a bit precious. This is not a place you come to roll up your sleeves and get into a huge bowl of pho, unless by “roll up your sleeves” you mean literally roll up the cuffs on your expensive shirt because it’s dry clean only. That said, every experience we’ve had here has been a good one, and we love hitting Elizabeth Street on an easy weekday morning, or for lunch when we’ve got time to sit and enjoy the weather.

Bun Cold vermicelli noodle bowls. On a hot day in Austin, we love these." - Chris Stang
"From day to evening Elizabeth Street transforms. In the morning the vibe is all French bakery: Neighbors drop in on their way to work for the brightly-colored macaron of the day or a croissant to go. But later in the day you'll find that this modern French-Vietnamese café has perfected the bánh mì. The kitchen uses housemade, crunchy baguettes that can stand up to layers of spicy and tangy sauces, marinated pork, local beef, and fresh sliced vegetables. The friendly staff is always down to explain a new ingredient, suggest an all-vegetarian meal, or pair a just-right jasmine tea with a decadent afternoon pastry." - Mandy Ellis
"Elizabeth Street Cafe is a slightly precious, very good-looking French-Vietnamese restaurant and bakery in a bungalow in South Austin. But more importantly, the dining room is sunny, the patio is chill, and you can also load up on vegetables here, like the griddled lemongrass tofu banh mi and vegetarian noodle dishes. The coffee and croissants are excellent, and we often pick up some macarons on the way out." - raphael brion, adele hazan, nicolai mccrary

The menu consists of everything from ho and bun bo hue to sticky rice, banh mi, and chocolate croissant and macaroons. It's most known for its brunch, but they also server dinner."
