ℳ𝒶𝓎♍October 28, 2015This is a quirky, funky little cafe. All the food is made from scratch and most items are vegan, delicious and hearty too! Service was quick and friendly. You can't make a wrong choice here!Upvoted Dec 29, 2024

Gurj BassiMarch 19, 2012Pick something at random because you won't be disappointed. Everything is that good. I love the Lavender Mate Sour lemonade, Veggie Royale, V-Lux Salad & Tofu Chorizo taco. YUM!
Cool hummus sandwich is my absolute favorite! Don’t forget to add the feta and facon to it! Pro tip- use the app No Wait to reserve your spot in line before you leave the house!
Tara PaulsonJanuary 29, 2018As a vegan, finding a place for breakfast can be tricky. Bouldin Creek Cafe has SO many delicious, fresh options. 10/10 for food and environment.
Sheetal BongaleJune 16, 2016Our go-to vegetarian place! Veggie Royale and Cool summer sammich are amazing! Their chitpotle pesto sauce is the best sauce to have with any sandwich.
Kat W.November 18, 2014This place is very healthy & has an extensive gluten free menu. Our food took a while, but you could tell it was freshly made. There's a long list of drinks, as well as gluten free beer and cider.
Austin ChronicleJune 5, 2013The chill vegan/vegetarian/cyclist-proud vibe isn't the only drawing card here. From a tofu scramble to the Renedict, a reimagined eggs Benedict, the breakfast menu is outstanding. Read more
The potato hash is well seasoned. The tofu scramble is really heavy on the nutritional yeast, which is pretty tasty. My omni boyfriend loves the veggie Royal with basil aioli.
Their Kool Hummus Sandwich has become one of my favorites. Secret ingredient: Chipotle Pesto!! Their Russian House Dressing is also pretty good! Actually, everything is also pretty good!!!- EaterApril 18, 2013Beloved by denizens of the 78704 and beyond, Bouldin Creek offers a diverse menu of vegetarian fare, locally roasted coffee and a taste of old-school Austin.
Jessica JonesJuly 6, 2018I added EXTRA FETA to my veggie sandwich and it was utterly amazing! I also had the lavender champagne which was amazing 💜
Morgan LittleJanuary 27, 2018Wanna BLTA is super yummy and flavorful! The curry bowl is also super good
Jenn 🌺 SOctober 20, 2021I had the potato leek omelet with the fresh greens and it was amazing. Boyfriend had the smokin joe with refried beans and it was all soooo good!
Lani LoveAugust 10, 2013Tarzen Salad is the best! Didn't expect it to be my fav dish, but whatever they put on the portobello mushrooms & broccoli was crazy good! And the miso ginger dressing was perfect.- Mazanin FJuly 24, 2015A perfect place for brunch. Everything is vegetarian in here. You will start having more vegetarian meals in your diet after visiting Bouldin Creek Cafe
- Newest favorite vegan dish is the tofu zucchini migas, light on chips and with fruit on the side. Don't forget the dirty chai (Benny).
Andres ElizondoJanuary 11, 2017Delicious coffee options, some of the best vegetarian I've ever had, and an overall indie atmosphere makes this place amazing.
Colette QOctober 26, 2014Blueberry corncake is #1 in my book. Try with Benny (espresso) almond milk iced chai 😛😇mmm
A great place to have coffee and brunch. Vegerian menu and every bite is delicious. Good and cute staff. Free internet and great atmosphere to get work done on your computer.
DailyCandyDecember 31, 2013"Situated in the center of Austin’s South Congress, Bouldin Creek Cafe is a hippie hangout with breakfast tacos aplenty. The patio is strewn with water bowls — perfect for poochie."
MattersOfGrey.comApril 13, 2013FLT w/ Avocado: the savory tofu with fresh tomatoes and lettuce complimented with the smooth avocado. Awesome sandwich
Spe YogaMatt SpewakMarch 28, 2014The tofu scramble is insanely good. Try it with the pecan tamales and hot sauce. It is one of the best #vegan dishes I've had in Austin.- Angela BarnesMarch 13, 2018Vegan migas with spicy refried black beans and chorizo and cheese breakfast taco! Amazing!
- Their tofu scramble is top notch. Always forever a fan of the chipotle pecan pesto on everything
Order the zucchini migas with an side of potato hash cake. Thank me later.
Daniel CavazosOctober 14, 2016Awesome restaurant, great food, very enjoyable place to eat healthy meals. It's a "must go" in Austin.
Aztec Pasta on the seasonal dinner menu is to die for, ask for it with more chipotle pesto than marinara for a spicy kick.
JenniferApril 17, 2017Amazing electric ambiance! Looks like an old garage, updates with tons of signs and local art. Sit on the patio.
Serious EatsMarch 6, 2013Try the intriguing Tamale Breakfast: two sweet potato and pecan tamales are served alongside two eggs and warm tortillas.
Dick PowellAugust 14, 2019Outstanding food, friendly but slow service. Reasonably priced. Veggie Royal is the best veggie burger I’ve ever had.- Dick PowellAugust 14, 2019Outstanding food, friendly but slow service. Reasonably priced. Veggie Royal is the best veggie burger I’ve ever had
Eggs renedict rock my world. Just be sure to bust out your patchouli before entering -- this is a haven for the "Keep Austin Weird" types.
Ana LoyaMarch 17, 2015The Coolio does its best to refresh you and I want several of these at one sitting- u should get it!! But don't drink it too fast like me.
B WNovember 26, 2014Healthy vegetation options. Local flavor. Gets super crowded on weekends. I like the breakfast plate with the blueberry cornbread.
I YJanuary 5, 2015Best veggie burger I've ever had. The chipotle pecan pesto gave a little more panache - although the burger was already yummy!
Shannon BowyerOctober 25, 2020I used to go quite often before covid. Always love their Tarzen salad!- MattersOfGrey.comJuly 13, 2013Try a coconut lime Italian soda. On a hot day, this tasty beverage quenches thirst like nobody's business
- The veggie royal is amazing, but if you make a pulp fiction reference while ordering then you're an asshole.
I don't personally suffer the curse of going through life as a vegetarian, but I am told by those who do have that affliction that this is a particularly good option for the sans meat set.
The Rose Lemonade is to die for! But the food is healthy so you're not killing yourself. The Granola Sunrise with Ambrosia sauce is excellent too.
Carlos VillaviejaAugust 16, 2013Awesome veggie place. Veggie burger is very tasty with any sauce, the only bad thing is service is quite slow. Plates are quite big.
- Christian BadilloMarch 14, 2022The El Maximo and Tarzen salad are delicious thick vegan options, and almost everything can be made vegan
Ben LoSassoMarch 27, 2013Tofu migas are my jam. Also the veggie royal is incredible. One of my top restaurants in austin for sure.
