I really enjoyed stopping here for a smoothie before my workout. They have such an extensive…read morevariety of smoothies that it was actually hard to decide what I wanted! I also loved that I could customize my smoothie with almond milk since I'm lactose intolerant. The prices were reasonable, the customer service was phenomenal, and the entire location was super clean. I also appreciated the variety of fresh juice options available. There was something for pretty much every mood, whether I wanted a smoothie or something lighter and juice-based. Overall, this was a great pre-workout stop, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

I got a small rehydrator (watermelon base) and it's soooo refreshing without the added sugar! They also have grab and go smoothies and acai bowls.

The Austin heat was breathing down my neck like a dragon as I walked a place recommended by a…read morecoworker. I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez

OMG where do I start? My plans started horribly today, and I didn't even plan on eating here today,…read morebut the food here at Veracruz All Natural completely turned my day around. I had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

My favorite acai bowl spot!…read more Acai bowls are one of my favorite treats, and my favorite acai bowl place happens to be in Texas. Every time I'm in town, I make it a point to stop by because they never disappoint. The bowls are always consistent, the service is kind, and the energy is exactly what you want when you walk in. Great vibes, friendly people, and delicious bowls every single time. It's always worth the visit! Thinking about you, SunLife Organics See you soon!

The shake was great, and I feel confident in the quality of the ingredients. As someone who avoids dairy, it's pretty hard to find a high quality indulgence, and it's definitely appreciated. It's a good spot if you're already walking SoCo, but not an extremely practical location if you're craving a quick sweet fix and a bit too pricey to get often.

I was looking for something light for breakfast and thought oatmeal would hit the spot--and this…read moreoatmeal definitely did! I ordered the banana oats topped with honey and cocoa chips. It was simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best, and this was one of them. To drink, I had the cold brew with lavender syrup, which was also really good and paired perfectly with breakfast. The workers were incredibly friendly and engaged in conversation while I sat at the bar, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming. I totally recommend this spot if you're looking for a quick, delicious breakfast or a cozy place to start your day!

My girlfriends and I were on a girls trip in Austin and we decided to stop here for brunch. It was…read moresuch a hit, this restaurant is our vibe and I wish we had it back home. The restaurant itself is decorated so nice, it's picture perfect. I also really appreciate a restaurant committed to having options that are seed oil free, from local farms and also having options without refined sugar. Miranda was our server and she was so kind and attentive. She made sure we had a great experience and was a pleasure to talk to. To eat I ordered the classic breakfast and to drink I had the vanilla maca. I didn't love the vanilla maca, and I only blame myself for that. I have never had maca so I didn't know what to expect but the drink basically tasted like a chocolate protein shake. Which isn't bad but I wanted like more of a latte so that was on me. My meal however? Loved it. Everything was so flavorful and hit the spot exactly with what I wanted. I also really appreciate a salad with breakfast since this helps lower your glucose spike and so when a restaurant offers this I know they know true wellness!!! My girlfriends both ordered the avocado toast and loved it. One ordered the cherry vanilla limeade and enjoyed it as well, but as an avid cherry hater I didn't try it...but if you like cherry she recommends it! I would come back to Austin just to eat here again. So good. So jealous this isn't back home... did I mention that already??!!

I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole…read more The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else.

We also got the afternoon delight and my favorite, the iced golden mylk (yes, with a "y"). Oat milk based with a variety of spices of which the tumeric gives it the yellowy-golden hue. We loved the Soup Peddler and would go back again to try their other menu items (it's a large menu and you are sure to find more than a few things to your liking)!

They were giving out free smoothie samples with three options: mango OJ, strawberry & banana, and banana PB. Their smoothies aren't very sweet and overall pretty basic. The mango & orange one was too icy, so it was hard to sip. The banana & peanut butter mostly tasted like peanut butter, but it wasn't too thick, which I liked. They also let you spin a wheel for a prize which was fun. Parking can be difficult during rush hour so I recommend ordering for take out. My parents bought an 8 oz cup of the chicken soup with rice. It was actually really good and packed with ingredients. It's something I would gladly eat on a cold winter day. I definitely liked their soups a lot more than their smoothies.

Here are some of my thoughts: -It is located in / near casa de luz, which is a hub of wellness / yoga / spirituality shops. -The cafe itself is tiny, just enough room inside for two or three people to order, but there is plenty of seating outside if you like. -The service was good. She talked us through some recommendations, and we both landed on "sweet greens," which is most similar to the juice my wife makes daily. -Besides not having beet juice, it was a very pleasant flavor. The most distinct taste to me was the celery. It added a little spice to the sweet apple. -The drinks were refrigerated, which I love, and served in a glass bottle. They also provided a recycling bin for the empty bottles. Overall, recommended.
