	Review: I like it well enough. It offers a cute environment for kids with toys and ice cream, and even little ones designated areas (which is pretty rare).The food is not for the strict vegetarian, containing eggs in some dishes.But the prices are fair and the staff is quite helpful.   Pros: tasty food * nice staff * kid friendly Cons: pricey * *

"Here or There"   My Rating
2 essau_yeso d	Posted on: Sunday, July 12, 2009
	Review: My wife does not like it, but I like it because the atmosphere is quirky and the people are very friendly. The only problems are that we don't eat eggs or garlic & onion and the menu has mostly these. They are willing to accommodate, but it is nice to have choices right there. Once, I asked whether the gelato had eggs in it, and some did. Next time I went, they had all egg-less gelato. That was very groovy of them to do.   Pros: friendly * good food * nice atmosphere Cons: limited selection * *

"Good and Vegan Friendly"   My Rating

	Review: Cool little neighborhood place - eclectic atmosphere, some great food. Not all items on the menu are vegan, but most can be made so, and this place is very accommodating to vegans. You will be hard-pressed to find a shepherd's pie as delicious as the one served frequently at Cricket's as a daily special - and it's entirely vegan - mashed potatoes on top are made with soymilk. It takes a while to be prepared, but it's worth the wait. Good sandwiches, good salads, but even better soups. The black bean soup with rice is amazing and also vegan - same with the tomato, mushroom, barley soup. Try the home made vegan sorbetto for dessert, offered in several different flavors each day. Vegan cookies are also available at the counter, and the staff tells me that on some days, vegan cake is also, though I have yet to see it. The coffee here is great, too. On good weather days, the outdoor patio is a nice place eat lunch, and they have dog bowls for canine companions, too!   Pros: great food * fun atmosphere * friendly staff Cons: not entirely vegan * *

I've only been here once - and it was when it first opened - I really wasn't able to eat there. It sounds like they have a lot of vegan friendly items now. I will visit it soon! P.S. There are lots of vegan desserts at Mango's cafe.. response by Delve - report abuse -

"Great brunch for a lazy Sunday"   My Rating
4 aledogma	Posted on: Tuesday, June 03, 2008
	Review: Consistantly good - I only end up there on the weekends but they have never disappointed. I wouldn't call it health food, but compared to Texas' usual food fare, it is not the worst thing you could put in your body. I am partial to the vegetarian breakfast croissant-wich. They cater more towards vegetarians but they do vegan options on request. They serve breakfast/lunch, gelato & a full coffee/tea/hot beverage bar. The atmosphere is laid back; very funky & ecclectic - not unlike the neighbourhood. Want some quiet? Go to the "adults" room in the back - no kids allowed so it keeps the volume down.   Pros: great food * atmosphere * Cons: can get busy * parking *

"Good for Vegetarians"   My Rating
19 rvasquez	Posted on: Wednesday, January 09, 2008
	Review: Not a lot of options for Vegans but you can make substitutions on the sandwiches and what not to suit your needs. The owner is very nice and helpful; the staff is hit or miss on their knowledge of what is and isn't vegan though. Probably better for vegetarians as opposed to vegans.   Pros: good location * good prices * Cons: not very vegan friendly * *

"Outstanding!"   My Rating
7 happycowgi rl	Posted on: Sunday, September 30, 2007
	Review: Crickets is a great place to get some fantastic veggie food and hang out a while then walk around and check out some of the antique, clothing and gift shops on the block. Breakfast available all day! They have a to-die-for veggie sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. I got mine with tomato on a croissant. Waffles (with banana or strawberries) are also amazing. Their iced soy lattes are wonderful. Also a full lunch menu, ice cream, pastries and small gift shop section in the store. The owner and staff are really friendly. There are a variety of seating options here so you can really get cozy and hang out at this place. There is shaded outdoor seating in front. They keep a dog water dish full so you can bring your pooch. There is a small children's area inside with a kid's table, kid's chairs, some toys and children's books in the main eating area. There's also a cool hang-out area with about 5 tables of seating in the back that is for grown-ups only. The tables by the front windows are also for grown-ups only b/c the window glass there is antique (read: fragile). Easy street parking.   Pros: breakfast any time * children's area * outside seating Cons: * *

"I like this place"   My Rating
13 TexasVegan	Posted on: Saturday, April 07, 2007
	Review: I want to start off with the atmosphere - Crickets Creamery and Caffe is a really charming little joint in a great area. It's a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee and if you're not vegan they have ice cream, breakfast foods and some sandwiches and salads that sound pretty great. However, despite the fact they're listed here as being vegan friendly it doesn't seem all that vegan friendly to me. They have three soups a day and today one of them was vegan (the vegetarian chili - which was pretty good). All of the sandwiches had pesto, cheese, eggs or mayo as an ingredients and the menu doesn't contain a single specifically vegan item. So in short - if you're vegetarian you may well love this place, but If you're vegan, it's not good for much more than coffee and soup. It's great for coffee though. I want to specify that my rating is solely due to the fact that it isn't vegan friendly enough for me. It might well deserve 5 cows for non-vegans.   Pros: charming environment * great neighborhood * great coffee! Cons: limited vegan options * *
