A new café and wine bar in the Barton Creek neighborhood is all about the vibes — that, and a trendy lack of seed oils. Café Largesse (meaning "generosity" in French) is now open at 2800 Barton Creek Blvd., Unit 104.

The café will serve seasonal dishes, craft coffee, and wine. The idea is to go from day to night and offer a place for guests to hang out unrushed.

An opening event welcomes visitors for complimentary food, drinks, latte art, and beverage tastings Sunday, May 4, from noon to 3 pm. There will also be a raffle and a chance to win a one-night staycation at Hotel Viata, the Italian-inspired hotel in West Lake Hills.

Hospitality veteran Olga Estrella is behind the new venture, which a press release poises as a hospitality destination above all. Estrella has a history working at hotels including the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and W Miami, which have inspired a desire to create a welcoming experience. The release also notes that she was born in the Dominican Republic, further factoring into her interest in hospitality.

"We've created a space where every detail feels intentional but never pretentious – where guests can slow down, connect and feel genuinely valued throughout their experience," said Estrella in the release.

The menu at Café Largesse combines Spanish, French, and Latin American flavors. Guests can expect mini tacos, toasts, croissants, and vegan coffee cake at breakfast; salads, chia pudding parfaits, and more toasts for lunch; and Spanish-style flatbread pizza, called coca, for dinner, plus other sharable plates. Some regular offerings come from other local businesses, such as coffee from Wild Gift and pastries from Sour Duck.

At the wine bar, guests can peruse a selection curated in partnership with Serendipity Wines, a distributor for restaurants in Texas and California. Wines highlighted in the press release were the Santome Prosecco Extra Dry from the Veneto region in Italy, the Dom Jean Marie Reverdy Sancerre Silex Blanc from Loire Valley in France, and the BenMarco Malbec from Uco Valley in Argentina. Wines will be available by the glass or bottle.

Guests can also order both food and wine to go via an in-house delivery service that cuts down on third-party fees.

As expected at a hospitality-obsessed restaurant, there will be regular events including live music by local artists on Friday and Saturday evenings, wine tastings, and a Sunday tea service. Guests can also book the space for their own events.

"Creating Café Largesse has been a deeply personal journey," said Estrella. "As an immigrant who moved to the States as a child, I've always understood that hospitality is a universal language. It's about creating moments where people feel truly seen and valued. Since moving to Austin, I've dreamed of a space that feels both intimate and vibrant – a neighborhood gathering spot where the coffee is exceptional, the food is thoughtful and the wine inspires conversation. We want to be that 'third place' where people feel at home any time of day."

Café Largesse is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 7 am to 5 pm, and Wednesdays through Sundays from 7 am to 9 pm. The day is divided into three services: 7-11 am for counter service and coffee bar, table service from 11 am to 5 pm, and tapas and full bar service from 5 pm to close. The coffee bar closes at 5 pm.
