Bouldin Creek Café is a vibrant, eco-friendly spot in Austin where hearty vegetarian meals, bold coffees, and a cozy vibe make for an unforgettable dining experience.
"On weekends, the crowds waiting at this vegan/vegetarian destination spill onto the corner of South 1st St. and West Mary St. Bouldin Creek Cafe is its own mini-scene where the ambiance and the food are equally fun. Many of Bouldin's dishes, like the Wanna-BLTA and homemade veggie chorizo breakfast tacos, taste almost as meaty—and just as good—as their original counterparts. It’s a great excuse to sip micheladas or mimosas after a morning at Barton Springs, and seeing the out-of-towners you bring with you praise the restaurant’s funky mosaics, buzzing patio, and multicolored interior might soften your gripes about I-35 traffic." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"The Bouldin Creek restaurant makes breakfast fare vegan-friendly with the option for tofu scramblers instead of eggs. Omnivores can find plenty to love, too. There are omelets, grilled blueberry cornbread, and breakfast tacos. Revel in the old-school Austin vibes inside, on the patio, or get food to-go." - Erin Russell
"On weekends, the crowds waiting at this vegan-vegetarian destination spill onto the corner of South 1st St. and West Mary St. Whether it’s your first time there or your hundredth, Bouldin Creek Cafe is its own mini-scene of people getting lightly sloshed and talking about the weekend they just spent in Fredericksburg. Good moods spread like maple syrup, especially during brunch. And many of Bouldin's dishes, like the Wanna-BLTA and homemade veggie chorizo breakfast tacos, taste almost as meaty—and just as good—as their original counterparts." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Renowned for its vegan and vegetarian dishes, Bouldin Creek Cafe offers a well-balanced vegan BLT called the 'Wanna BLTA.' The sandwich features creamy avocado, basil aioli, toasted sourdough, fresh lettuce, and tomato, complemented by perfectly thin-sliced homemade tofu bacon." - Aaron Boehmer
"Beloved by residents of the 78704 and beyond, this cafe in Bouldin Creek from owner Leslie Martin offers a varied menu of vegetarian fare paired with locally roasted coffee, and a taste of old-school Austin in its design (a diner-y, 1990s vibe) and food (think loaded vegetable taco plates with crispy plantain chips on the side). The vegetable sandwiches are legitimate, as is the tofu scramble. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
