About Little Elm Cafe and Bar

Ormeau locals head to Little Elm Cafe and Bar for a rare combo—pairing cafe brunch standards with honest, comforting Vietnamese cooking.

Come Friday and Saturday evenings, the room transitions into dinner service, turning out lemongrass chicken, sizzling beef, and cold cocktails like the Candy Piña Colada.

  • Vietnamese cafe hybrid: Banh mi packed with crispy pork, bowls of beef brisket pho, and Vietnamese iced coffee stand alongside classic brekkie toasties and burgers.
  • Weekend dinner & drinks: Friday and Saturday nights feature evening dining with stir-fried lemongrass chicken, pork spring rolls, and mixed cocktails.
  • Specialty brunch bagels: Freshly made options range from salmon and cream cheese to chilli cheese chicken and morning bite bagels.
