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.
