Good news for readers and coffee drinkers — Café Crème is now in its soft opening phase at the Central Library.
The Vietnamese and French coffee shop will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. during its soft launch. Owners plan to expand the menu and hours in the coming weeks.
City Editor Figi here. I used to live right near Café Crème’s East Oltorf Street location, so I visited a lot. The menu is really impressive, but don’t leave without trying the Cafe Sua Da (aka Vietnamese iced coffee), London Fog tea latte, and one of the sweet or savory crepes.
Happy caffeinating.
