Restaurant Review: Café Largesse
Cafe Largesse states on it’s website, “Neighborhood Cafe and Wine Bar”…and I could not think of a better way to explain this Barton Creek spot. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile, and the owners are working hard as part of the team to bring you an amazing experience. It’s like walking into someone’s home! The menu is comfort foods such as Avocado Toast for brunch to Spanish Style Pizza at night, with bright and fresh ingredients, and they specialize in coffee drinks and cocktails. Enjoy!
Café Largesse Restaurant Review
After opening its doors just a few months ago, Cafe Largesse has been serving up the most amazing dishes and handcrafted cocktails to the Austin community. Located in the Barton Creek area, the café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and features stunning décor and china that invite guests to immerse themselves in a beautifully lit and cozy dining experience. This summer, Cafe Largesse introduced a new Spritz menu featuring high-quality cocktails like the Strawberry, Hugo, Peach and Basil, and the most refreshing cocktail we had on our visit—the Matcha Spritz. Alongside this new summer menu, the café offers a variety of filling entrées, appetizers, sides, and desserts that will leave you craving more once they’re gone. We had the opportunity to try some of these featured items and dishes and had the most spectacular time, so let’s dive in and talk about our favorite parts of the experience.
