Review: I didn't think anyone used more nutritional yeast in their cooking until I ate at this place. The Tofu Scram is literally caked in it! It is an interesting take on the dish, a little dry, but good.
This is a pretty good veg diner. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful to vegans. The food is good, the coffee is good and they have lots of vegan pastries, cookies and such. I will definitely revisit this place when I am in Austin again.
Pros: friendly staff * relaxing ambience * good coffee/food
Cons: * * |

Review: Pros: Good Food and ambiance (it's a funky place that is super comfortable - like hanging out at home) : )
Cons: Service is slow and whenever I have been - they are not very friendly : (
*Note - the cons bum me out because grouchy vegetarians give the rest of us a bad name - causing non-vegetarians/vegans to say things like "Gee someone forgot to take their B-Vitamins etc.
Pros: Good Food * Ambiance *
Cons: Slow, lackluster service * * |

Review: I typically am not a huge fan of breakfast, but not at Bouldin Creek Coffee House and Café. I took the advice of some of the reviews below and opted for the "El Tipico" and my friend got the "Blueberry Cornbread". We shared each meal and we both were pleasantly surprised, as the food was quite good. Their tofu scramble is made with nutritional yeast, but it appears as if they dip it in the nutritional yeast after cooking the tofu – good idea, it was really good! The décor was neat; I liked the bent up forks attached to the overhead lights. The employees were also very nice!
Pros: * *
Cons: * * |

Review: Their tofu is amazing. My boyfriend and I came back the next day. El Tipico with a side of veggie chorizo is quite frankly the best way to start any day. Their blueberry-corn oven cakes are amazing, as well. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Perfect for dining alone with a book or laptop or with friends.
Pros: Amazing Food * Great Atmosphere *
Cons: * * |

Review: I love the Predictable with tofu. The Bouldin folks led by the aswesome Leslie make a mean scrambled tofu, one of the best anywhere! It's full of Nutritional yeasty goodness! Plus, they have yummy potato hash brown patties and collard greens! Try the Fire for some added delicious heat.
It's a hippy/ punk rock sort of joint, so the service can be uneven and it's not the cleanest joint in town, but the patio is a great place to eat breakfast any time of the day!
Pros: Delicious vegan food! * COmfortable patio seating! * AN owne3r that cares about veg issues!
Cons: uneven service * can be slow-ish * |

Review: Great veggie and vegan food and coffee. Big menu with lots of variety.
Small counter where you order when you first walk in. Indoor seating area to the right. Small covered outdoor seating area right in front. Beautiful tree-shaded outdoor seating area to the side BUT for some reason it is garbage-smelling stinky there but I could not figure out where the odor was coming from. Great atmosphere, pooch-friendly with dog water bowl and treat station. Small parking lot right in front. If this were my place I would nix the parking spaces (there is street parking you can use) and expand the nice outdoor area in front (where it was NOT stinky). I would have given this 5 cows if not for the smell outside.
Highly recommended but sit inside or outside in front.
Pros: great food & drinks * *
Cons: smelly by the oak tree * * |

Review: Some of the best vegan coffee in Austin. Try the Soy Benny, a mix of chai, soy milk, and expresso. This restaurant is wonderful if you are looking for some vegetarian comfort food, healthy breakfast, or a small snack. All the egg dishes can be substituted for tofu, and Bouldin´s vegan tofu recipe never ceases to amaze me. The blueberry cornbread is the best thing on the menu to me. They have sandwiches, soul food,TACOS!, hearty salads, and more. Don´t miss this if you are traveling through Austin!
Try the Neal Taco veganized...
Pros: Open til Midnight * Amazing Food * Friendly Atmosphere
Cons: .........? * * |

Review: For those who take comfort in retro hippiness and trailer park fantasy, go for it. I, however, prefer my veggie food in a stink-free environment: there are way too many smokers and cig stubs around Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse... and the vegan desserts can be quite dicey. God bless the old oak tree though.
Pros: easy parking * friendly staff * cool interior paint
Cons: smokers galore * unpredictable cuisine * retro decay |
