"This completely vegan burger joint has partnered with coffee shop Barley Bean Cafe to open an all-day destination, no matter the diet, in South Austin. The standalone restaurant, which quietly opened in early March, features more than 40 vegan options that span breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, all of which can be ordered for pickup or delivery, or enjoyed in its indoor seating or outdoors on the patio. Menu highlights include its classic Mission Burger, which comes with a special sauce, its steak sandwich, and its potent garlic fries. The burger joint also specializes in barbecue brisket plates made with an assortment of dehydrated mushrooms that are smoked for five hours out back. Diners can also grab a coffee, matcha drink, or cocktail from Barley Bean’s kiosk inside, which features a full bar and a variety of alternative milks. Best of all: Modifications don’t cost extra. Pro tip: Order for pickup to score a free cookie." - Darcie Duttweiler

The standalone restaurant, which quietly opened in early March, features more than 40 vegan options that span breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, all of which can be enjoyed inside in its different seating styles or outdoors on the patio. Menu highlights include a Reuben sandwich on marbled rye, a New York-style chopped cheese, and barbecue brisket plates made with dehydrated mushrooms smoked for five hours out back.

Pro-tip: If the burgers look too big, junior sizes are available — and those are also great for kids." - Courtney E. Smith

"If we had to nominate one vegan burger to send to meat eaters as proof that the impossible can be done, we would send a double Mission burger with cheese, special sauce, and grilled onions. It somehow defies the fundamental laws of burger physics—there’s a thick crust on a couple of thin, smashed patties topped with incredibly melty cheese, and it does it all without using any animal products. photo credit: Holly Dirks photo credit: Holly Dirks photo credit: Holly Dirks" - Nicolai McCrary
