If you thought finding vegan food in this Tex-Mex and BBQ-obsessed city would be a challenge, you couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Even iron-willed vegans crave sauce laden, sugar coated, homestyle comfort food.

Bouldin Creek Café, located at the corner of S. First and Mary streets, has a style that blends with the spirit of Austin — a full vegetarian menu in a dog-friendly, laidback environment. I was uneasy about the vegetarian-only options, but this restaurant my taste buds.
