    Food Get the blueberry corn bread. It was so good and we had to get two. Hopefully your dining companions do not drown in butter like mine did. They have plenty of vegan options and the menu is fully vegetarian. The pasta was so good and the burger was great. Cornbread was the highlight of the menu. Service Fast and friendly service. Our server managed a few tables on top of what we think was a large bachelorette party. It is Austin after Ambiance [[HIGHLIGHT]]Got seated on their outdoor covered patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like that they have a buzzer when your table is ready. There will likely be a line, but there are places to sit down and WiFi while you wait

    So I ordered Southwest stirfry and Sriracha on the side and peanuts on the side and they mix it up and they put peanuts and Sriracha so now I have to wait and make it them redo it and then I got a live-in salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very busy and loud in here inside and outside the patio[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] so I just think that they need to read the tickets a little bigger and pay attention because of Allergies I told them.

    As always - this place hits. The service alone is really nice and I find myself debating on what to get for way too long. The selection of food and drinks is fair. The taste of the sandwich was divine and the appetizers are good too! Will be coming back.

    One of the best vegan/vegetarian restaurants I've been to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the vibe, the customer service and food, everything was amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely busy and there was a wait time. They do have seating outside and inside to wait. The server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. They were able to answer questions we had and offer suggestions. Also pretty quick service for as busy as they were. The lattes and coffee were just right and not overly sweet. The flavors in the sandwiches and salad were absolutely delicious and so fresh. Loved the cinnamon roll which apparently were the go to as we were able to snag the last 2 for the day. We can pass on the mini donuts, they weren't our favorite. Great spot for a nice meal!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is very much Austin- it's quirky, eclectic and very fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Expect to wait, we had to for about 40 minutes on a Saturday but you can roam local shops. Our server was so sweet and attentive throughout our entire meal and food comes out fast. Favorites were their chipotle pecan pesto- a must try! I enjoyed my fajitas as well, they were grilled and seasoned to perfection. Good spot for some vegan brunch!

    If you want highly flavorful vegan/vegetarian dishes, Bouldin Creek is the place to go. They also make a great drink, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The portions are large and reasonably priced. The servers are well informed and can guide you with ease. They add a 20% surcharge, but are transparent about it from the start. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the old school Austin funky vibe of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking could be better, but that's to be expected for the location.

    This chaotically busy little cafe served up some really good flavors on a Friday evening! There is some open seating at long tables and at the bar along with tables throughout the restaurant. I ordered a bulgogi bowl and a chagaccino. Both were surprisingly full of flavor and very fun to eat/drink. The chagaccino (no caffeine) was not too far off of a latte in flavor. The bulgogi bowl was spicier than I expected but very delicious. If you're in the area an want something fresh, I would highly recommend this place.

    This was our only must-stop place to eat during a brief trip through Austin, and it did not disappoint. I had a hard time deciding what to get off the menu since everything looked so good, and everything on the menu can be made vegan. We both loved our food and maybe even more so the ethos and the incredible service. Make it a point when you go to spend sometime walking around the neighborhood and checking out some of the local businesses and architecture.

    We had a nice time gathering with family friends at Bouldin Creek for dinner this past weekend. They don't take reservations so you have to hope you'll get seated in time. We had a large group of 10 people and one of the people put our name on the list when they arrived and were told it would be about 30 min...and hour or so later we were finally seated. The large group before us took extra time to finish and leave the table even after a few gentle nudges from the wait staff. The food was great and our waiter offered us a free guacamole for the long wait time hassle which was nice as we were pretty hungry by the time we sat down! They also offered to take our drink orders while we were waiting so they would be ready when we got seated, which was thoughtful. Overall a good experience and would love it if one day they took reservations as I know every time I've been there for brunch in the past, there has been a long wait.

    Bouldin Creek Cafe has an extensive menu filled with creative, freshly made, and tasty items. You can choose between vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. We tried the grilled blueberry cornbread, it was hearty and delicious. The potato leek omelet was very good with refried black beans and potato hash. The breakfast scramwich was very good. Also, the massaman jackfruit curry was quite good - it would definitely get it again. The great yumpkin late (it was October) and matcha late was very good. Also try the spicy pesto, made with chipolte and pecans and served with ciabatta wedges, just delicious and not a dish you find in many spots. The Bouldin Creek Cafe is Austin ground central - the look and feel of the cafe, the servers, the food, it's all a great, homey, local vibe. All our servers were super nice and attentive.

    Walking away from Boudin Creek Cafe, we were super surprised at how delicious the food was!! We ordered the Egg Potato Leek Omelet, Tofu Neal Taco, and Blueberry Cornbread. Starting off with the coconut water, it was so refreshing, just what we needed on a hot summer day. The main star of the show was the Egg Potato Leek Omelet!! It was cooked to perfection and the salad that came along side with it was dressed perfectly. The orangey vinaigrette paired so well with the salad. We also tried their famous Blueberry Cornbread, but that was less impressive. Note: There is a 20% Fair Wage Surcharge to every bill.

    OVERVIEW: Pretty rad vegetarian/vegan breakfast spot - I understand all the hype! A true Austin vibe spot located off of S 1st street, this place is pretty busy on the weekends and offers up great breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates. We arrived just around 11:30am on a Sunday and fortunately had checked in on Yelp, so we were seated almost immediately. We took first available which was outside, but it wasn't terrible. The drinks are not that great, but the breakfast items hit! I will definitely revisit! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Small, tight lot in the back but plenty of street parking. - Reservations? No, but you can join the waitlist ahead of time when you're on the way. FOOD/DRINK RATINGS: - Drinks (2/5): Not what they're known for and that's okay. The matcha was not good quality, the fog latte was okay, and the mocha was meh. I would probably stick to drip coffee or juice here. - Potato and leek omelette (5/5): This was the BEST thing we ordered! So good. And the black beans as a side are so tasty!!! Really enjoyed this and will definitely order again. - Zucchini migas (3/5): Not bad but not the best. Needed more salt and seasoning (spice or flavor). Just a basic scramble. - Golden oats (4/5): Pretty tasty! I enjoyed the thickness almost being like an oat bread. Good flavor and good for you! - Blueberry cornbread (3/5): A little drier than I'd like, but not bad. It's the sweetest thing on the menu (like, in lieu of pancakes or something). Comes with butter and syrup.

    It's a chalupa!

    Whether I'm trying vegan, vegetarian, or just having breakfast all day, I love me some Bouldin Creek Cafe. They have my favorite hummus, new found CHALUPA (bet - it's cheap, healthy, AND delicious), and oatmeal cream pie. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Three things to keep me coming back, aside from their local-loving vibes, equitable payment practices, and easy parking for indoor/outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's home-base for the SoFi souls.

    The food was delicious. The scrambled eggs were melt in your mouth. The blueberry corn cake was sinfully delicious. Must try in Austin.

    How are they re: gluten free options?

    yes their are. it is a small kitchen so there is some risk but as someone who works there I know there has never been an issue that I know of. lots of gluten fee folks dine there.

    Dogs allowed on patio?

    They are allowed :)

    Is the live wait time active? And is seating on a first come first seated basis?

    Yes, the live wait time is accurate. I always get on the waitlist with Yelp and check in when I get there.

    Do you generally need reservations (if they take them)/what's a normal weekend wait for lunch?

    No reservations, just a waitlist you can check into online

    Are there Vegan pancakes?

    Yes they have vegan pancakes...EDIT!!! Terry is right there is NO vegan pancakes here. I confused this place with another breakfast place I went to. Try there vegan cornbread. It was excellent.

    Does anyone know if they are open for Easter?

    Yes

    Do they offer breakfast all day?

    Yes they do and it's delicious!!

The team members…read more(staff) are understanding and helpful, much like the feeling of a hotel where effortless hospitality is the only focus. The patrons are a mixed bag. Some leave their dogs on the overly nice furniture, leaving fur behind. It doesn't bother me, but I can understand how it would bother others looking at this as a restaurant, instead of what it is, a daytime coffee lounge and an evening cocktail bar. If it were just a coffee shop, there wouldn't be enough outlets, and there should be more pastries. If it were just a bar, it'd be a little too bright in the daytime, and the laptop workers (me included) would hurt the cool cocktail vibe...BUT it's not just those two things. It's both, and they do a remarkable job of accommodating everyone while maintaining a chill vibe. Seriously, everyone has surprised me with how nice they are here, and we're lucky to have something so architecturally significant with high-end indoor/outdoor furniture. This could just be another $$$ restaurant that detracts from the city's culture rather than adding to it.

    Mañana Coffee is a great spot if you're looking for something beyond the typical coffee shop menu…read more Orders are crafted by skilled baristas who customize each drink to your preferences. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, and the menu offers a variety of unique beverage options that make it worth a visit. I ordered the Sticky Rice Mango Matcha with iced matcha with house-made mango puree and vegan sweetened condensed milk. The drink had a smooth, earthy matcha flavor balanced by the sweetness of ripe mango, with subtle notes inspired by the classic mango sticky rice dessert. It was refreshing, creamy, and a unique combination that really worked. The café has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a nice place to relax, catch up with friends, or grab a specialty drink.

I ordered a plain iced latte and wanted a potato egg and cheese taco but all that was left was a bean an cheese. Fine...but $6?? I made the mistake of accepting this ridiculous price.
