đậm coffee bar

The best matcha drink I’ve had in Austin, and if you’re wanting some extra flare with it, ask for the matchanana iced latte! It’s delicious and tastes amazing. I also got one of their breakfast pastries, which they heat up for you. Definitely see myself coming back to try the whole menu over time and bonus points for this place being across the street from ACC!

One of the few places I decided to visit for my Austin cafe hopping expedition! I loved the free parking garage, I think so far the easiest to find parking for (granted that I did go on a weekday) Loved the viet coffee so much, so strong! Their Matchanana was sooo good, I wish the banana taste was also with the matcha latte and not just the cream but understandable that the drink is better with the cream! Baristas were nice and helped me with my questions! I saw that they had pastries too, cute place to sit and study or catch up with friends :-)

Rating: 4/5 Dam is a spacious coffee shop with plenty of seating and a calm atmosphere. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet inside. The drink cup sizes do run a bit small though. Matchanana ($7) + Oat Milk ($0.75): There was a lot of banana cream, which ended up overpowering the matcha, making it hard to taste. I also don't think they topped my drink with banana chips like in some of the photos. However, if you love banana, this drink is definitely for you. Strawberry Matcha Latte ($7) + Oat Milk ($0.75): Better than the Matchanana. The matcha flavor was stronger, and their strawberry syrup is one of the best I've tried. My husband asked for his drink to be sweeter, and the extra jam they added made it even better. Overall, the matchas didn't stand out, but I would come back to try their Vietnamese coffee.

I stopped by recently and tried their Hanoi Egg Coffee and a matcha drink, and both were absolutely delightful. The Hanoi Egg Coffee was rich, creamy, and smooth — the perfect balance of strong espresso and velvety sweetness. The matcha drink was equally impressive. The shop itself has such a warm and inviting atmosphere — minimalist yet stylish decor, soft lighting, and plenty of comfortable seating. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, study, or catch up with friends for hours.

Needed a caffeine boost on the drive back to San Antonio and this was nearby. I’m a huge fan of Vietnamese coffee and really intrigued by their menu. The cafe itself is really nice and in a really convenient spot. I ended up getting a classic Vietnamese coffee and egg coffee. Both were really good. Their Vietnamese coffee was really good and had a really unique flavor from the beans the use. Never had an egg coffee but really liked it. The egg foam was tasty and really complimented the coffee well.

Really excited to come back here! The staff are so sweet and the vibe is great. Quiet and relaxing environment. Had the mango matcha which was delicious, but I'm excited to try other drinks. I was also surprised by how yummy the pastries were. I'm glad I got one and can't wait to try more!

This is just a review of dâm’s Vietnamese iced coffee (may come back and try the others), so sorry if you’re looking for anything else: If you want that authentic, bitter but sweet, deliciousness that is Vietnamese iced coffee for a decent price… might want to skip this place. Maybe today was just a bad day for that drink. Regardless, it’s about $8 for a drink that generally you might want to allow to fully steep / cool, before pouring into a cup of ice that will make it a watery mess. Also, after the massive head dissipated, you’re left with more like only 4oz of watery “coffee”. Tasted like the powdered kind you’d buy at the store vs brewed. Maybe next time will be better, but you could also just go to your local Vietnamese restaurant, or Cháo cafe off of Lamar for more volume, better taste, and a cheaper price. Photos are of the coffee with head, after the head sank (10mins), and the Vietnamese iced coffee I got from Cháo after taking a sip of dâm’s version.

Love how warm and welcoming the atmosphere of this new business is. Very cozy place to come in and study, though noise levels can get a bit high during peak service times. The coffee is a lot stronger than I’m used to, which was a surprise, but once I knew what to expect I thought it tasted great! The owners and people behind the counter have all been extremely friendly as well, and I’ve consistently felt very welcomed in the space. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer here! :)

This place is so nice!! It used to be Feng Cha but Dam coffee took over and remodeled it and it looks amazing. The owner was really nice and attentive. The space is so spacious and there are lots of outlets for you to study/work. It's on ACC campus and there is a parking garage right behind the store with lots of parking spaces. I got their Matchanana, which is a matcha latte with banana cold foam and whole milk, and the drink was perfectly sweet! The matcha taste comes through and the banana foam does not overpower the matcha at all. They hand-whisk their matcha per order so it can take a bit but the quality is top tier. There are about 3-4 Asian coffee shops in the area but in my opinion, this place makes the best matcha drinks! I will definitely come back to try other drinks and also the coffee. Highly recommend :)

Solid coffeeshop with warm, cozy ambiance! This newly opened Vietnamese coffee shop offers lots of different Vietnamese items - from black, basic ca phe sua da to more complex one like Egg coffee and coffee with salted cold foam. They also have a variety of matcha drinks with flavorings too. we just tried the egg coffee - egg cream was very smooth, not eggy at all. Coffee underneath was nice and strong. I wish the coffee underneath was less sweet because the egg cream was already sweetened. Staffs are very nice and gave our pup a whipped cream cup. He loves it so much!!

Loved the mango matcha! Good amount of sweetness, the matcha flavor was strong which I prefer. The space has a lot of open areas and tables. Can wait to try other drinks!

Honestly I want to try every single item on their menu, but for my first time, I went with the matchanana. The matcha and banana flavors both come through really well, but I feel like it's not as creamy as other matchas I've had.

I came for the egg coffee and stayed for the ambiance. I enjoyed the drink and ended up working at the cafe for a couple hours. The music wasn't too loud to work with. In terms of space, it's a decent size and it was very open where I didn't feel too close to others. Parking is convenient with the garage nearby and some street parking.

Was craving a strawberry matcha latte and Dam delivered!!! There still in soft opening, so be patient Drinks are great, vibes are great. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

Went to their grand opening today and, while the matcha hype is very very real and there was quite the crowd, the drink that I got didn't live up to what I was hoping for. Now let me say, the inside is very cute and spacious, so it does have a good vibe. Didn't get the pw for the WiFi so can't speak to if it'd be a good place to work remotely, but the seating & decor was nice and calming. I got a standard matcha latte with oat milk. They sweeten it (unless you ask them not to), and make it upon order. However, due to it being the grand opening, it took about 20 min to order and then another 10 min to get my drink. The matcha was very earthy and less umami that I was hoping. Not very creamy, so maybe the other types (like the banana matcha) would even it out, but just for a simple matcha, this is not my fav place in town.

Overall, good vibes. I liked the interior decorations. I felt like the banana matcha latte was a little too bland and I would have liked it if there was a little more banana flavor to the profile. I felt like it was more a matcha with whipped cream with a slight hint of banana. The banana chips at the top were a great addition, but felt like that was the only part that indicated it was banana flavored. I asked the owner for the best matcha and this was her recommendation. Maybe I was too hyped up and had too much of a high expectation. The saigon latte coffee was very strong and would be a great option for coffee lovers.

I went twice during their soft opening in the morning. I honestly didn't have to wait very long but both times I went at around 10:30 on a Sunday and brought work to do. The people here are very nice, it's genuinely a Vietnamese family owned business. I tried the saigon latte, coco mocha, matcha latte and the strawberry matcha. Saigon latte: 4/5, the flavors were solid but this thing is SOOO caffeinated in my opinion which isn't a bad thing but just a fair warning to everyone. I was wired wired from this drink Coco mocha: 1/5 would not recommend. It's just not my cup of tea.... I felt like the only flavor was coconut but that mixed with the coffee gave it a very bitter taste. Matcha latte: 3.5/5 not bad matcha but nothing crazy. Very basic Strawberry matcha: 4/5, need a straw for this because the strawberry purée is all at the bottom. The puree is actually really nice and fresh tasting!! Overall not a bad place to get some drinks and get some work done. It does get a bit loud so bring some headphones and the bathrooms are a little wonky (doors don't close properly and huge gaps but whatever).

Modern and cute space with friendly service, however not quick. One latte took ~17 mins while the 4-5 orders behind me came out quick/before me. Might have just been an off day. When I did get my latte it came about half full of coffee and half filled with the flavored cold foam. For the price ($8) not worth it. While the salted Carmel cold foam WAS good wanted more coffee...also very strong coffee flavor. Parking was easy. Would pass on this one.

How your eye? DAMNNNN! I love a chance to drop a Friday reference. And I'm not even sure if this place is pronounced Dam, but their drinks have me screaming that. I came for their soft opening while I was in Austin recently and their posts were flooding my socials. I came for the hype and stayed for the drinks. My favorite was the Matchanana. They were still in their soft opening phase so I gave their staff a pass. They are super nice and attentive. I can't wait to stop by again the next time I'm in Austin to try their other drinks

I love love love this banana matcha latte. I don't even like banana but this banana foam was perfect, I do wish they could make it without whole milk but I took a chance on my tummy and had it anyway. It was so worth it! The ambiance is nice inside and super spacious. I can't wait to go back and try their coffees.

I haven't tried the coffee here so cannot speak about that. However, I am a big fan of their strawberry matcha latte. It is so creamy, milky, and decadent. I have also tried their pistachio foam/topping and it was absolutely delightful, rich in pistachio flavor. The atmosphere is also welcoming here, perfect place to do work. Very friendly staff and quick service. Convenient parking garage nearby. Definitely give them a try!

I think this replaced a popular boba chain, and I'll start off with the positives. The interior is gorgeous, and I love what they did with the space. It gives the feel of a LA coffee or boba shop. The menu is really good, and I had a hard time deciding whether or not I wanted matcha or coffee. They also make the matcha drinks by hand (I saw them hand mixing in matcha bowls), so you can trust that you're not getting a premade matcha drink. The negatives. It took forever for them to make my drink... and they didn't even make my second drink before I left. The service was awful and like someone else said, they really need to work on their timing. When I ordered my two drinks, there were nearly 6 other parties waiting for their drinks and I could tell they'd made themselves comfortable and had been waiting for quite a while. Because I was in a rush, I asked where my drinks were and they skipped the line to make ONE of my two drinks before they returned back to making other drinks. Another reviewer said it perfectly - "they don't have an order of how to make the drinks; they skip people over due to the pressure of people asking where their drinks are, and it just confuses the drink order process". I totally get that they're in their soft opening era, but the drinks themselves aren't worth the long wait either. I only got one of the drinks I ordered before I had to leave, and it was the Vietnamese latte. There was barely any flavor, and the condensed milk didn't make the drink any sweeter.

It is an open coffee shop near ACC. I got the Saigon latte and it has no taste of coffee; it is a very watered-down espresso shot. Service needs to be better. From the time I got my receipt to getting my drink was about 30 minutes. While I waited, there were one or two people who just gave up and left. They don't have an order of how to make the drinks; they skip people over due to the pressure of people asking where their drinks are, and it just confuses the drink order process. They also should move to a number system to speed things up instead of manually writing down people's names, as I can see they were having issues saying certain names or even spelling them, and now they have extra drinks waiting for people. They offered to give me someone else's drink because it was taking a while, but I said that wasn't my name (they did this twice). The inside is spacious, but your voice will carry here and there, and there is no sound damping here. Another reason to move to a number system since no one is going to hear their name. Hopefully, they learn during their month-long soft opening soon, as they are right next to ACC, and school is starting soon. There will be a bigger rush.

One of my favorite spots I visited in Austin! It's the perfect work from home. The drinks were amazing - I'm a matcha girly and it's by far one of the best that I've had. The staff were friendly and I loved their playlist! Also loved the many different mirrors they had in the shop, perfect for selfies hehe. Will definitely visit again when I am back in town!

Matcha was pretty good, the banana was a nice touch! The service was really quick and welcoming! This is a nice study spot but it was a bit busy and all the seats were filled!

Cute little spot to study and do work. Wish the coffee size was a bit bigger for the price, but overall not bad.

2nd visit this month, I tried their seasonal pumpkin foam matcha latte and ordered the tried-and-true strawberry matcha latte for my hubby. Pumpkin foam is cozy, balanced spice, sweet cream that complement matcha so well. Service is friendly and fast. This is my go-to for matcha now.

I will dream about this matcha!!! I'm not sure how I'm going to live without it. Tried the machanana which was matcha with banana cream and omg! Mind blown. It was rich and creamy only issue was it wasn't enough! I could drink this everyday. Very cute establishment, simple menu, great staff with sense of humor. Will be back ASAP.

I loved this space! Quiet enough to do work, but inviting enough to sit and chat. The location is very accessible and grabbing a coffee here and walking around the area is a perfect day. The coffee itself was very coffee-flavored. It has coffee jellies in it! I do usually prefer my drinks on the sweeter side, but my sister likes it strong and this is her cup of joe! She got the matcha which I tried, it was very fresh. I want to try the matcha with fruit as it looked delicious and like a good balance. Service was also pretty quick even with a line!

Tried the pumpkin matcha this time around and it was amazing! Highly recommend trying while it is in season :)

The iced banana matcha latte was one of the best matcha drinks I have had, and definitely the best I have tried in Austin! The banana flavor is not that strong in my opinion, but it was good regardless. The drink was super creamy and adequately sweet. The place was super busy, but I got the drink at a reasonable time and the staff were friendly. There are tables inside to hang out or study. Overall 11/10 drink!

I was so excited to visit Đậm Coffee Bar after seeing news of their soft opening. Their menu appears simple yet curated and offers many drinks not typically found in other coffee shops. The interior is super cute and there's plenty of seating for studying or hanging out. Unfortunately, I visited in the afternoon on a really busy day during their soft opening promotions, and they were out of most of their drinks/ingredients. I was able to order a Classic Iced Viet Coffee and a Pistachio Latte. I thoroughly enjoyed both of the drinks. I love that their drinks are not too sweet which really brings out the taste of the coffee. Sometimes I get put off by Vietnamese coffees that have too much condensed milk, but this one was perfect! The Pistachio Latte was also really good with a well balanced pistachio flavor. Even with the large crowd, the staff were still very nice and attentive. They tried their best to accommodate the large crowd and make sure everyone was aware of the missing items on their menu while waiting in line. I would love to come back now that they are officially open and try different coffee items and their matchas as well!

I was craving matcha, and I found this place. I decided to get a strawberry matcha latte, and I'm so glad I did! It was delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh. I enjoyed it so much, I wish I got a second order. I think they just have one size and not a large size (?). The service was super friendly and hospitable. I felt at home here. There was plenty of seating inside. I think the location is perfect for students at ACC. The street parking is not so great, but there's a parking structure right next door. It's free! I'll definitely come back and maybe get two orders of the strawberry matcha latte. ;)

Came here for matcha but they'd run out. I got one of their Vietnamese coffees instead and it was pretty good!! Very strong so I was pretty jittery. I wish they had a larger stock of matcha so I could've tried it though!!

I heard a lot about this place and there was a lot of hype about it so I had to check it out. Initially I wanted to come a few weeks ago but they had run out of matcha at the time so I made an attempt a few weeks later. When I came there was not wait and my drink came out very quick. I got a strawberry matcha and it tasted alright. Though I will say I've had better strawberry matchas before. The size of the drink was also kind of smaller than I thought. I do also wish there were more drink options.

Came here for their soft opening and was really excited to try their matcha. Unfortunately they had run out the day before which was a bummer. However they had plenty of other really interesting drink options. Our group got the pistachio latte, Vietnamese coffee, and fresh tango. All the drinks were really good and my favorite was the pistachio latte. The Vietnamese coffee was too strong for the people in our group and we went to ask for more milk and they upgraded our cups which was super nice of them! I wish they had more seating but will definitely be back to try other drinks.

Stopped by for an iced matcha latte with oat milk one afternoon. It was tasty and I thought the matcha was pretty good. It was fairly busy but service was quick. There's a fair amount of indoor seating if you're looking for a place to work or study, though it's all one big open room. Overall I'd recommend it if you're in the area!

New-ish coffee spot off off Airport Blvd! Austin desperately needed places like Dam to open, so I'm happy they are doing well. Met up with a group of friends and it was consistently busy the whole time we were there - students studying, group hangouts, a lot of foot traffic. Seating is ample enough but not the most comfortable. Drinks are $$$ it's $9 after tip for any one drink.

I've wanted to try Dām ever since I drove past it, it looks so unique and minimalist from the outside. Inside, it's actually very cozy on a cold day, and welcoming and cute and clean. The coffee I tried , the Ha Noi, is a Vietnamese egg coffee, basically Vietnamese coffee with an egg sweet foam on top and an adorable light wafer cookie on top, so incredibly perfectly prepared, and so cute, a must try for sweet lovers, coffee explorers, and anyone that loves cute things. I loved how high ceilinged yet cozy Dam, this place is making me want to travel to Rotterdam and explore!!

Finally found a legit matcha latte in Austin! I used to have a banana matcha in Houston and totally loved it--been craving it since then, and guess what, I found it here! The matcha flavor is actually strong (super important!! In the U.S., most matcha lattes are so weak... basically no matcha taste at all). The banana adds a creamy sweetness that goes perfectly with the matcha. And the crunchy matcha chips on top? Such a nice touch--delicious till the very last sip. The café itself is spacious with a relaxing vibes, with a covered parking lot right next to it, and the service was really friendly. Definitely coming back for this drink again!

Space is spacious with a fair amount of seating, and the decorations were cute! The baristas were kind, and the drinks came out quick despite hand-whisking each order. - Matchana - I was really happy that the matcha flavor came through even with the banana cream top. There were also banana chips that were fun to snack! - Strawberry Matcha - Not my favorite strawberry matcha, but it was pretty good! The matcha shines through really well - Kolache- It was actually really good and blew my expectations but I think in the moment I was just really really hungry Nothing blew my mind with this place, but if you're looking for good matcha, I do recommend going here ! Drinks averaged around ~$7

I have had a lot of matcha around Austin and this is hands down the best matcha in the city. The matcha lattes are perfectly balanced, just the right sweetness, and incredibly creamy. The matchanana is my favorite! I do wish it had a stronger banana flavor because it leans more toward classic yellow vanilla ice cream than true banana, but I crave it all the time. The service is wonderful, the staff is always so friendly, and the space is spotless. Highly recommend!

Tucked into an apartment building off Airport Boulevard is a fun Viet cafe serving up good coffee and cozy vibes. We ended up here looking for a nice place to do a bit of remote work and Dam definitely excels at this. Between the cozy vibes and friendly atmosphere, it's easy to lock in and get some work done (or not, let's be honest about remote work). The place is clean and has a nice aesthetic to it too if you're someone who looks for a certain feel to places you want to do work at. The wifi is fast here making it easy to do things like Zoom calls or stream something during a study break. Seating is also pretty comfortable, especially for prolonged seating that you'll end up doing if you stay for a bit. Since Austin Community College is right next door there's some spots to park but we're not sure if they're permit only so beware of that. A lot of people come in and out but not in a noisy way, just in a way that makes the place feel like it has a lot of life. Armed with a delicious Viet iced coffee and a safe clean environment, you can absolutely lose the hours here. The Viet iced coffee was bold and sweet, the perfect mix of flavors, although the size/portion of it could be a bit larger, but oh well. There's not much more to say so if you're an ACC student or live in the area and want a boost for your day definitely stop by.

true vietnamese coffee isn't hard to find in austin, but i'm glad a new viet cafe has opened!! their egg coffee tastes like a dessert, sweet, creamy, and decadent. the sea salt coffee is a bit too salty for me, but the coffee itself was good

I got the hue salted coffee and it was so good! the cream is a little salty which brings out the coffee flavor so well. highly recommend if you like a little salty and sweet combo. Respect to the single staff working there when i went on a friday afternoon! great service!

I came for their soft opening as the 20% off promo was enticing enough to reel me in for an hour wait on the weekend. The con: they ran out of matcha two hours into opening. I did get to try two of their drinks so this review will be based on that, however I will be back to try more. I'm eyeing you, Vietnamese coffee. The coco mocha is made with their house mocha sauce, but was completely underwhelming. There was so sweetness to it and it tasted very chalky/gritty. The brown sugar latte was nothing too memorable either. Having the herbal jelly in there was interesting; I thought it would more flavor, but it didn't do much for the drink. There also wasn't a bigger straw to slurp up the jelly so it becomes more of an end treat. The space is large and welcoming with warm tones and a good amount of seating.

Đậm Coffee is excellent! I tried this Huế Salted Coffee and it was lovely, surprising, unique, and delicious! The baristsas were speedy, professional and kind. I ran into the owners Anh and Kay, and they gifted me a sticker! The vibes of the shop are chill and cozy, perfect spot to cowork/study or chat with buds. I will tell all my friends sto come to Đậm Coffee!

Seems like this is a new favorite spot! Easy to find with plenty of parking and lots of fun menu options! It wasn't busy when I went - mind you it was mid morning on a Wednesday - and the latte was the perfect amount of sweetness and coffee flavor! Well done

I tried this place for the first time today and ordered the iced matchanana and the pistachio latte. The matchanana was outstanding! Some of the best matcha I've tasted in Austin. The pistachio latte was a little too bitter for me so I wouldn't order that again. The place is easily accessible with a large parking lot just down the street and the staff were so friendly. I will definitely return to order their matcha again!

Walked in to friendly staff and a good, relaxed vibe. I tried the Matchanana and the hype is worth it. It was SO GOOD, texture and taste 10/10. And if you're like me and love a salted coffee try the Huế salted coffee!! I can't wait to come back and try more menu options.

This opened right next door to my apartment and let me just say this is DANGEROUS FOR MY WALLET. I've found it hard to find a good coffee shop but this one is soooooo good I don't know how I'm not gonna come every day. The coffee is so delicious and super strong and everything is not super sweet. I'm prediabetic so I was worried I wouldn't have any options but just their coffee with the salted foam is soooo good and sooo worth it and doesn't raise my blood sugar at all! It's a really good work spot too for when I don't wanna work from home (sorry staff is probably gonna see me here everyday). But the workers are so nice and accommodating I love this place!! It's super cute inside as well :)

Sizes are smaller than you'd expect but the drink are delicious! Tried their Vietnamese coffee options and it's become one of my go-to places now.

This place is always busy, but worth the wait! Their banana matcha is well balanced- not too sweet!

when i went, service was a little slow but i assume it's because they were restocking matcha (came in, there was a sign that said no matcha but when i left the sign was gone). coffee is legit amazing! i got the saigon latte, totally recommend it. coffee is strong but the condensed milk makes it so creamy and sweet.
