Bao buns $2.50!
About us
Hi there, I’m Tram - founder owner of Mama Mai Cafe. We are a mom & daughter & mother in law immigrant trio with a dream.
What started as weekend cooking sessions between me and my mom, Mai, quickly blossomed into a passion project. Armed with a family recipe bao buns and bold, authentic Vietnamese coffee, we began selling from a small rented kitchen. Eventually, we added banh mi to the mix, then history began.
Soon, words spread. We took Mama Mai to pop-up events around Las Vegas—from Lunar New Year festivals, Moon Festival to local markets—and the response was immensely positive. People weren’t just buying the food and coffee, they were coming for the warmth, the nostalgia, and the story behind every bite.
Now, we’re working hard to reach our goal of building our very first brick-and-mortar cafe in Las Vegas—a place that we could get the community together and share our love for Vietnamese coffee & cuisines.

Our mission
We want to bring to the growing Asian community in Las Vegas the convenient, authentic taste of home through premium Vietnamese coffee, fresh matcha, and quick, comforting bites.
Our vision
We envision Mama Mai Cafe as a beloved cozy haven - where the aroma of Vietnamese coffee and the comfort of Vietnamese quick bites bring people together. It's a space that honors our Vietnamese roots as well as embodies hard work and resilience to achieve our dreams.
Our team
We are a family business through and through, and each of us brings our own strength into the business that makes it not only unique but also efficient
