Hey girl, hey! I’m excited to talk about one of my favorite things (right after coffee)… FOOD! This one is for the plant-based enthusiasts. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but my kiddo is, and I’m always up for a healthy meal. I’ll be honest; sometimes, preparing meals can be challenging, and I just want to get someone else to do it. While I can find a good meal almost anywhere, I know my girl wants more than just French fries and a side of broccoli. If you can relate, here are some great vegan dining options in Austin for you!
The Beer Plant | 78703
This is one of my personal favorites. It’s a charming spot located on Windsor Road in Austin. Their menu offers a fun variety of creative dishes that are full of flavor. The atmosphere is perfect for date nights, dinner with friends, or a weekend family meal. It’s a small space, and you do need to reserve your table!
The Well | 78701
They have three locations: 2nd Street, Westlake, and Studio 3. Check their website for operating hours, as each location has different times. The Well focuses on health-conscious meals and is known for its delicious dishes and beautiful presentation. The meals are prepared using clean ingredients and locally sourced, sustainable produce. This place is definitely on my list!
Arlo’s Jr. | 78702

Community Vegan | 78702
This is a fun one! It features all our favorite “chill meals” like wings, sliders, nuggets, and, of course, fries. Located in East Austin, your taste buds will definitely thank you for this! The Community Vegan is on a mission to introduce healthy foods to communities of color, encouraging everyone to be more health-conscious and take better care of their bodies.
Bouldin Creek Cafe| 78704
You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to love this place. It’s perfect for anyone looking to try something new or start a health journey. The menu features a variety of delicious and flavorful options. Get over to South Austin and give this place a try, y’all!
Zucchini Kill | 78751
Ready for something sweet? Go ahead and pick up the dessert of the day from Zucchini Kill. Their cupcakes win over all the gluten + dairy lovers in my life. They also do custom orders!
Luv Fats Ice Cream | 78752
Luv Fats is a small-batch ice cream company founded by Chi Ndika in Austin, Texas. We celebrate healthy fats by using avocados and coconut milk as a base and create yummy flavors made with fresh produce, nuts, and herbs found at local farmer’s markets. Chi’s flavors are inspired by her Kenyan and Nigerian roots, and she got the idea to experiment with dairy-free flavors for her mother’s birthday since she has an allergy.
The vegetarian and vegan lifestyle doesn’t have to be dull! Whether you’re thinking about making the switch or already embracing it and seeking new meal ideas, I hope these suggestions help. Let’s be honest: we don’t always want to cook dinner, but we still want to enjoy delicious food!
