About us

Hi there, I’m Tram - founder owner of Mama Mai Cafe LLC. 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.

Soon, words spread. We took Mama Mai to pop-up events around Las Vegas—from Lunar New Year festivals to local markets—and the response was immensely positive. People weren’t just buying coffee and buns; 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 cuisines.

Our mission

We want to bring to the growing Asian community in Southwest Las Vegas the convenient, authentic taste of home—without the long drive to Chinatown—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
