"Oh my god! Delicious and good for you! ever had Easily the best vegan queso I've ever had, the best chickpea salad sandwich I've ever had (on big ol' Texas toast), and the tastiest warm alcoholic drinks (something we have trouble finding in Wisconsin where they should be more common) Also, very friendly and patient staff. They were always attentive and kind. I definitely got the impression that whoever was available would help out, whether or not they were 'your server'. Take a bow Bouldin Creek Cafe; you've touched this vegan's heart (and stomach)"

"As a vegan in Austin, I have tried quite a few spots, but always look to try out more places. Especially with all of the TikTok hype, this was on my radar and I finally had the chance to experience it for myself. Side note: If you are an entrepreneur or creative looking to collaborate, be intentional about where you choose to have a meeting. This is one of those places where, even if the other person does not show up, you will still have an incredible experience on your own. From the moment I came to the moment I left, my experience was everything I needed and more. I had already looked over the menu beforehand, so I knew exactly what I wanted which was the Tostada lunch plate and the Lady Bird salad. If I’m not mistaken, Gwyneviere was my server, and she was wonderful. She initially offered me a vegan cinnamon roll, which I declined while placing my order. I also noticed they had a mocktail list so I tried their Free N Easy IPA with ZERO alcohol, which I loved and ended up ordering two. The Tostada plate was very filling, so much that I had to box the salad to go. Before leaving, I did take Gwyneviere up on her original offer of the cinnamon roll and I am so glad I did. Everything I ordered was vegan and absolutely delicious. I ended up eating the salad the next day, and when I tell you it tasted like it came straight out of the kitchen, the ingredients were still fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. It is absolutely deserving of all the hype it has received, and I will definitely be returning as I continue exploring more vegan options in Austin."

"Lovely place! A bit of a wait but wasn’t too bad. The server was suuuuper nice. I love that they have fair wages for employees and the server explained when it came time for the check. Huge option list and it’s all vegetarian and vegan friendly. Was genuinely blown away. Had the corn muffin cake thing with lavender coffee and loved it. Bf had pasta which was amazing too. When ordering too the server made sure to ask about vegan or dairy butter or milk options. Very happy to have visited and will definitely go super regularly! Oh also there’s parking in the back"

"Bouldin Creek Cafe is a great Austin spot for a comforting, flavorful meal with a laid-back vibe. I ordered the cornbread and it came out hot, tasted excellent with butter, and felt like the perfect start while everything else was coming together. The jackfruit curry was the highlight—rich, well-seasoned, and genuinely satisfying, with a portion size that was just enough to leave you full without feeling weighed down."

"Warm and inviting atmosphere with local artists’ work up for sale. Coming in at 10am on a Sunday, there was a slight wait for a table for 2, but we were seated soon after checking in. Food was nice and fresh, with great service. Parking is a bit difficult, but definitely worth it!"
