Nice place - Edit
It's unfortunate to see that this place has closed. We just ate there on our trip to Austin, must've been one of their last nights. It was packed so it seems like it was an Austin favorite. To be honest, the food was not the best, but the desserts were pretty good especially for being sweetened with dates. I hope they get a chance to open another place

Mediocre - Edit
Service was not that great. Food tasted a little bland but overall it wasn’t a totally wasted trip. Went with my mother in law and she was excited to have vegan food in the city. I wish the southern plate had a little more soul (seasoning 😅)

Cheesecake saved the meal - Edit
I had the asian BBQ skewers, mac and cheese balls, and the philly cheesesteak and all were pretty bland, especially the mac and cheese balls. However, the tiramisu cheesecake was delicious! I really liked how it wasn’t overly sweet.

Still worth visiting - Edit
I first came here as a new vegan and wasn't impressed; however, I returned months later and thought it was pretty good.
Read moreIt's one of the older vegan places here and while there are others I'd visit first (e.g. Citizen Eatery), Counter Culture is still worth a trip.
Pros: An established vegan spot, An actual sit-down restaurant in east Austin

Cute place - Edit
We ordered the BLTA salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked Mac and cheeze, peanut butter banana bar with ice cream and turtle cashew cheezecake. Salad was tasty and a nicely sized portion. The pieces of tempeh bacun in it were smoky and delicious. Mac and cheeze was a little dry and bland but after adding some salt it was actually really yummy. Mashed potatoes and gravy were smooth and like home cookin. Good comfort food. The peanut butter banana bar with ice cream was a big hit with the husband! Butterscotch sauce added on top. The turtle cashew cheezecake had great texture but wasn’t sweet. Added some butterscotch sauce to that as well but even that wasn’t very sweet. I like my desserts a little sweeter. Mint ice cream was great. Lavender lemonade didn’t taste like lavender at all and was super sour. Same with the hibiscus tea and lemonade Arnold Palmer. Way too sour. Even adding 7 packets of raw sugar didn’t help it. Pucker up! Service was a tad slow but Callie our server was attentive and gracious. Cute turquoise interior.
Read morePros: 💯 vegan, Decent portions , Reasonable prices
Cons: Super sour lemonade, Sketchy area

Cute and cozy - Edit
Friendly staff, extensive menu, indoor and outdoor seating. Food was good, and I would definitely go back again. This is my first meal in Austin, so hard to say how it compares. It was extremely warm inside, so that was unexpected. They had fans running, so that may be 100% normal😄

Really yummy - Edit
Really good. Had a wide variety of foods. From fresh to fried. Even a raw vegan would have multiple options. Ordered the BLTA salad which was delicious and very well seasoned. Along with the artichoke dip and chips. The two drinks we had were an oat milk iced coffee (very rich), and an Arnold Palmer that was spectacular, it was hibiscus tea with some lavender lemonade. It gets pretty hot in summer though. But overall great for all kinds of veggie eaters. Not as expensive as other vegan restaurants.

Pretty hippie - Edit
This place was a little too hippie for me, our waitress was so sweet but was not into deodorant. The best item we ordered was the sweet potato queso which I thought was outstanding. I did not like my pastrami sandwich the seitan was a really strange flavor. I took it home and replaced it with my own Tempeh and then it was a good sandwich.
Read morePros: Cute cat art, Sweet potato queso, Great seevice
Cons: Run down vibe, Seitan seasoning was strange

Pleasant surprise in TX - Edit
I was so happy to stop at Counter Culture on my way to downtown Austin from the airport. It's right on the way. The food is great and diverse. The staff is friendly and the setting is out of the 70s, but I like that vibe. Make sure to give it a try when you're in Austin!

Get the nachos - Edit
Went here for our last night in Austin and it was fantastic. The Eastside Nachos are maybe the best nachos I have had in my life (get them with the jackfruit & beans). Cool atmosphere, great staff, amazing food.

A cool homey and community setting with a excellent Vegan menu selection.
Read moreVery flavorful and creatively prepared.
Excellent service overall.
Riley was friendly and so helpful (informed !) describing the ingredients and preparation of
the various meal options- especially for my 2 non-vegan close friends.
Fantastic, wish I have a restaurant like this in my neighborhood.
