Had an anniversary here and they wrote a personalized note! Food is amazing and service is also amazing.

Elizabeth Street Café is a charming spot with a great vibe. It's hard to park there though. The dumplings are so good... flavorful, fresh, and always satisfying. Get and share the Chicken Bahn Mi, the steak with fried rice, rice roll and the dumplings.

The food was really lacking for the price. $22 for a bowl of Pho. The pho broth was really bland, and the beef was very scarce. The broth was very hot which was good. But overall it was really lacking. For those who know Pho and appreciate quality Pho, this isn’t for you.
To be honest it’s probably some of the most average pho I’ve had. Saved only by the atmosphere.
Restaurant Atmosphere and service were lovely.

As a regular to-go orderer, I was excited to dine in. My rating has nothing to do with the food but everything to do with the waitress rounding my change back down because she decided herself that I was going to tip anyways. I paid in cash. I'm an extremely generous tipper, but the principal that you would just assume I don't need my change is absolutely appalling to me.

Never knew it was Vietnamese Food. Amazing quality. Hands down the Elizabeth Fried Rice Sirloin Steak was perfect. Before going to Elizabeth I went to see Nomad across the street (1st Street) and the energy there was a little too snobby for me. I always go for the underdog!!

Came from out of town for a bite to eat before a concert and this place did not disappoint. The prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting. The wait time to get seated and for food to reach the table was not long. I will say though be mindful of parking! However, fighting for a spot is worth it.

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. 🌿☕️
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!

Waitress was uninterested and inattentive. Dang noodles were cold and vege Pho was a sad example of a classic dish. Added eye of round in which the portion was laughable. Will not return.
Cold noodles. No taste. Not going back.

I love Elizabeth Street and go there most times my sons are in town. We had Pho, bakery specialties, and I also had Bahn Mi. Every item was delicious! My only issue is trying to park near there. It has caused us to have to go elsewhere at times, but big news. You can now reserve a table in order to avoid the long wait times! Yay and thank you ☺️

I'm Vietnamese and this is my first time trying here. Personally I feel like there are some chinese-cuisine inspired, love the little salty Ginger-chili seasoning (you don't need extra sauce).10/10 Ginger-chili dumplings, fried spring rolls , pork-belly steamed buns, steamed rice rolls. The iced Vietnamese coffee needs somes some more condensed milk, it was watery. Love the settings, got inside booth, regular tables, stool tables, outdoor table and outdoor benches( also pet friendly). Sorry no pics bc they are all in my tummy 😝
