They auto grat everyone that’s why the staff only interacts with each other, just the bare minimum with customers… they call the auto grat fare wage..it’s fair to everyone but the customer… basically they pay the staff less and add 20 percent to your bill… when they bring the check and tell you, you will understand why the service is mediocre.. certainly I’m old fashion and expect service where people engage with each other… that’s hard to find in Austin these days… the place stays busy so people must like it … but not me… expect mediocre service cause they already have their 20 percent… food was good

They have an extensive vegetarian/vegan menu with a ton of variety--breakfast food, mexican food, comfort food, desserts, drinks, and most of it is delicious. My only complaints were that the desserts were often too sweet and a little one note, and the surcharge they add makes it pretty expensive depending on what you get. Still worth it though.

It Was my first time here.nice atmosphere . Taste of jackfruit Massman curry was good but jackfruit was missing the scene. It was more like potato curry with garnish slivered jackfruit … name it - potato curry with Jack fruit garnish.

Good experience overall, pretty long wait for a weekday but we ended up grabbing seats at the bar. The scrammich on sourdough was great, simple and to the point. Wasn’t a big fan of the migas breakfast plate though. Drinks had too much ice so tasted watered down, we got the mocha latte and the purple cloud… don’t recommend iced at least.

Every part of my experience here was spectacular. Our server Lorenzo was lovely and personable even with how busy it was. They also gave me great dish recommendation (Migas) that I ended up adoring and completely devouring.The coffee was delicious, and there was no up charge for dairy free milk, which I appreciate. All the food was so well seasoned that I took turns eating each individual item and then had fun mixing and matching the items on my plate. The grilled blueberry cornbread ? just wow. Game changer and perfect end to the meal.The art they had up and their chalkboard bathroom stall walls made the whole experience all the better.100% would tell everyone to go here.Dietary restrictions: They don't upcharge for dairy free milk, which is an appreciated rarity.

been coming here FOREVER, and definitely will continue. food is excellent for vegetarian/vegan. always a big hit. service is VERY mixed. some servers are absolutely excellent. however, more and more recently, some servers are very standoffish and almost forget you’re there. i do wish the servers would be held to a slightly higher standard, considering the fair wage surcharge.also, something that has gotten more common recently is servers doing everything but asking for a tip. BC is known for their fair wage surcharge (20% added to bill)… but newer servers make it very clear that this is NOT a tip, and hint at adding extra. the problem is furthered by the fact that the machines you tip on offer percentages of 20-30%, and because the surcharge is part of the bill, servers are asking for a tip ON TOP OF the surcharge….if you read their website about the surcharge, it discusses how tipping is oppressive, creates inequalities, etc… so it’s ironic that they even offer tipping as an option. oh well!

The food was amazing, will be coming back!One nitpick: I can’t help but roll my eyes at this “fair wage surcharge”. In short, they charge you a 20% fee (they’re pretty transparent about it) and then still give you the option to tip on top. The menu and website then give lengthy explanations about why this system is so amazing for society. I hate tipping culture (for all the reasons they mentioned on their site), so I appreciate any attempt to disrupt it. But for them to then a) use a surcharge instead of a price increase (no, actually, this does not increase “transparency” to the guest) and b) have an additional tipping option at checkout (making for an even more awkward interaction with the waiter), completely undercuts their claimed motivations, and is not really fixing anything.

I had a great experience at Boulding Creek Cafe.All dishes can be made vegan by request. The garden breakfast plater was delicious. Our waitress was awesome.Parking lot is small so expect it to be full. Also expect waiting time to be seated since it is a busy location.

Delicious meal. The chickpea tortillas soup was really good.Vegetarian options: Many opportunities to choose vegan/vegetarian options versus traditional dairy products.
