I travel for work. Whenever I'm in Austin, Rebel Cheese is my go to! The food is fabulous and the cheese. Can we talk about the cheese?!? There is EVERYTHING you want. It's as close to the real thing as you can get. If you're wanting to try different cheeses, the cheese board is a great way to do so. But I'd suggest trying even more. The roasted red pepper and fennel sweet toscana salami will satisfy any salami cravings. Omni hubs who doesn't do well with substitutes says they nailed it with taste and texture! Sandwiches. The bacon, brie and me is a must! The special was the monte cristo. The flavors were reallllly good, but I wouldn't get it again. Something about the sweet and savory didn't work for me. That's simply a personal thing because the flavor was great! I got the cheesecake and the texture was spot on. Now. Let's talk about the service. The reason I'll always go back. I messaged them to see if I could come in and shop with my eyes. Unfortunately because of Covid, that wasn't an option but that didn't stop them from helping as much as possible via messenger! While waiting on the food delivery company to deliver my order, I received a phone call from Rebel Cheese. The driver picked up the wrong order. Bummer. They easily could have cancelled my order and reimbursed me but they didn't. They sent someone from the store to deliver my order. While there's something to be said about local shops and only being able to get something specifically in a certain city or state- I would LOVE for Rebel to go nationwide. I'd love to have one closer to home. read more

So great! First of all they are only doing takeout etc. - no in person dining. Which makes perfect sense because if you were doing in person dining right now in COVID you are 100% part of the problem. So I really commend them for doing only take out and keeping things very safe. Their online ordering is very easy to use which I really really appreciate. I hate it when an online ordering system is clunky. I wanted to try everything because this is my only time in Austin and I knew that I just needed to try as many cheeses as possible. I am vegan but I'm also a very good cook myself so I also appreciate things that go above and beyond my skill level - which are most things here! I ordered a ton of cheeses one to 2 ounces each. I also ordered a delicious Frenchy sandwich. Everything was so delightful and amazing I was so full from the sandwich. I get to try so many cool cheeses that are really special and absolutely unique. If you are vegan curious then definitely try out some of the cheeses that are your favorites to see what a substitute might be like. If you're vegan then you know the drill just get everything get what your heart desires and enjoy yourself. They also had a great selection of wine and beer and I was happy to support them to get a few items to go so I didn't have to go into any other stores. read more

I would not recommend the truffle flavored cheese. Expensive cheese and we expected a tasty flavor. It was not good.

So fun to try and buy a variety of vegan cheeses - theirs are truly some of the best.

Everything tastes great. Make no mistake, this is not health food. For vegans or plant based foodie, its a cheat meal. I'm not really a fan of Mueller and the seemingly confused habitants in the area but I'll take a willing client or my wife there once or twice a year. Delicious and worth a try. read more

Loved this place! They've done a great job replicating real cheese with texture and flavors. The staff was so helpful and allowed me to sample some cheeses before making a decision. We tried the "chicken" sandwich and the "meat" grinder. Both were delicious, I can't believe they were vegan! The meat grinder had a nice fennel taste and the chicken sandwich was overall *chef's kiss. I would definitely return here in the future! read more

We flew to Austin from SoCal just to go here. We always order cheese to be shipped and it comes in perfectly fine. We had 3 items from this location. The Reuben was unreal, best vegan Reuben I have ever tried. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Place was very clean and tidy and in a great location. I highly recommend for anyone to get the cheese board. The best cheeses are: - Everything Fromage - Homey Pistachio Chevre - Brie You will not be disappointed with this place. I was a cheese addict before turning vegan, this place is the FIX!!! read more

This place is awesome. Place your order online and pick up outside establishment (thanks covid!) I love cheese but dairy does NOT love me. Rebel Cheese is amazing! They got the taste and texture down with the cheeses. The meat-less salami & pepperoni are fantastic! I ordered the charcuterie and was not disappointed. The accouterments were delicious as well. Very impressed!!! I will be frequenting this place!! read more

I've pondered how to review this place for about 2 weeks. I really, really wanted to love it and had it at the top of my list for my next trip to Austin. Two family members went with me and we showed up just after opening to avoid any rush. After learning that their 3-cheese boards were cheese they selected unless I wanted to pay an additional $4 per cheese of my selection, I asked if I would get 6 different cheeses if I bought 2 boards. That was a no unless I wanted to pay the surcharge. I requested a manager because the clerk seemed very new and was just trying to follow a rule; perhaps there was more leeway with someone more experienced. The manager agreed to my request but seemed a little surly about it, which my niece and nephew later noted. After paying, I forgot to take the tablet number thing to our table. A few minutes later, it was kind of dropped on our table, loudly. As we were the only people in the small café it definitely felt a little aggressive. Again, my niece and nephew were confused. But the real bummer was the cheese. We liked the brie, the honey pistachio was ok, two of the hard cheeses had no flavor, and the last two we actively disliked. The jam, and dried cherries were great. After grazing and trying a bunch of combinations we went for a to go box, which again seemed like the request was intrusive. From a polite 9 year old boy. I've tried to decide whether this is really a 2- star establishment or if my unmet and elevated expectations are part of the problem. Nope. I value what they are trying to do but I guess I'll get my non- dairy cheese from my regular places. *I did use their mushroom pate with someone else's non- dairy white cheddar and watercress for an AMAZING pasta salad. Extra star for that. read more

purchased a 6 cheese Sampler that March Cuban recommended, tried 3 cheeses and all werer horrible!. Bad after taste, chalky and tasted artifical, would not recommend this cheese at all!. Tried calling the company to get a refund/return and can't get anyone one to answer the phone, are you kidding me? Now I have to open a dispute on my CC to get any resolution. read more

I got the cheese board at happy hour. They gave me the Brie and Cheddar cheeses with the red pepper jelly. This was the kind of meal you have to all but physically restrain yourself from inhaling because it's that good. Slow down and savor those flavors! Staff was super lovely, so many snacks and wines to choose from. Dining area is really pretty! And the staff is so sweet and accommodating and we're happy to recommend different menu items. Can't begin to praise this place enough. read more

The first time I went here, I was put off because I did not like the way I was treated by the staff... It was nothing overt, just suddle dismissiveness. I am a minority, and I felt like the gentleman behind the counter was giving me a "you don't belong" here vive. But I was in the area recently (maybe a year after that first incident), and decided to give them another shot, everyone has an off day, and saff at a business sometimes changes. I was very glad I gave it another shot. The lady behind the counter, was polite and helpful. They have a vast selection of vegan cheese and will let you try before you buy. They have cheeses made by many different vegan cheese makers, but honestly the one they make in house is the best. I bought some wedges to take home, and I also decided to have lunch there. I had the Gentle Reuben, and it was so delicious! The side salad was okay, but that sandwich was amazing. Just writing about thos sandwich, makes me want to go back. read more

You can also purchase their products online. read more

They are not responsible for me liking or not liking their cheese. But the mold on the brie (I don't care that they said it was okay if I just re-wrapped it) I had wrapped it the way they recommended. Mold is mold. No refund for the brie, and I bought a lot of their cheese. Not good. read more

Nestled in what looks like a larger, new apartment building on the bottom floor.. the space emulates what you would expect a funky, cool Italian cheese shop/ market to be, but the best part.. it's vegan!! I found this place on IG, and my husband ordered me a shipped monthly cheese box as a valentines gift since I wanted to try it sooo bad. Well to no surprise, I was totally hooked, and HAD to visit shop for myself when I was in town visiting from San Diego. We ordered a few glasses of wine and an array of vegan cheeses with gf crackers.. and holy COW were all the cheeses GOOD. Most cheeses they carry are house made, but they also carry an array of other cheeses from other popular cheese shops from around the country. They have a really fabulous selection. The prices seemed reasonable, they also had a great selection of sandwiches and items for purchase if you wanted to build your own charcuterie boards at home. All the cheeses.. both savory and sweet.. were fantastic and I wish we had such an amazing vegan cheese shop like this in SoCal! read more

So, so good. Visited their NYC location previously which was great. Stopped by here for lunch, their charcuterie board was delicious and gave us the opportunity to try several items before purchasing more to take home. Can't wait to return! read more

Waited on an order for 2+ weeks and was never updated till I reached out. Only then to find out there had been an outage that affected shipping? Poor communication on part of the company, I lost interest. Was really looking forward to try a product backed by Mark Cuban, but not if a company can't deliver on its promise. read more

Incredibly good vegan cheese! And love this little corner spot in town. Enjoy coming here for good eats and a quiet place to sit if it's not a busy Sunday read more

Love this place. Good food. Good service. And VEGAN cheese that tastes AMAZING!!! Parking can sometimes be a pain with the construction. read more

I ordered smoked cheddar $18.50 and tomato herb fromage $21.00 online. The cheese is very expensive and shipping is $20.00. My order was $59.50. I am a vegan and was really excited to try these, but disappointed. The shipment arrived and is OK, not great for how expensive it is. read more

Beautiful day out in Austin Texas. Rebel cheese is a treat for plant based enthusiast who desire meals with flavor, quality and variety. we ordered a BLT that was juicy and flavorful. Their cheese is phenomenal. Offering fresh hard and soft cheeses in sweet or savory flavors you can try a sample before you purchase. ensuring finding something for everyone. Seating in doors and patio. Service was friendly and cordial. read more

Update: cannot speak more highly of their croissants, especially the apricot and almond Came back to Rebel for takeout with all the COVID craziness. Great set-up where you order online and pick up outside with no person to person contact. Breakfast sandwiches were delicious- I got the meatless miracle and my husband got the pigless in Paris. Highly recommend both! Be safe and support this local business! read more

Rebel Cheese - Sir Loxalot - Vegan Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been to Rebel Cheese a few times and bring pretty much everyone I know here, especially if they're looking for something non-dairy, and they all love this place! Service can be quite slow sometimes, but the quality of the food absolutely makes up for it. Their cheeses are amazing, though they can get weirdly liquidy if you order a melt or grilled cheese (as you should). The sides could be a bit better, but I've never been disappointed with any of the entrees. The interior is a bit small, but cute! And I love all the picnic offerings and the cheese display case. Makes you want to sit out by Mueller's lake and buy a super huge charcuterie board. One of my go-to places in Austin, and I recommend for anyone reading this review! read more

Okay, so, I was SO excited to visit Rebel when I was in Austin last week from the Bay Area and it did NOT disappoint!!! First of all, the staff was kind, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. Marvin took his time giving menu suggestions and providing samples of some of his favorite cheeses. Everything that my daughter and I tried was so delicious! We were only in town for three days but we took the trek from downtown twice to enjoy lunch at Rebel. I brought some cheese home to enjoy and will need to re-up with an online order pronto! Highly recommend!! read more

Vegans unite! One of the few ALL VEGAN places in the northern area. This vegan "cheese" place offers a wide selection (about 20) vegan cheeses, vegan sandwiches, salads, wine and beer. Happy hour between 3-6 everyday ($5 wine and $10 cheese board). Brunch menu on weekends 9-2. The staff is always friendly. The wait can get pretty long for food, but they're upfront with times and it's worth it. The Vegan desserts are to die for. Gentle Whisk bakery (woman owned local business) bakes the BEST vegan treats. You can't go wrong. Street parking is through ParkATX and fairly inexpensive. Can get packed on weekends especially Sunday with the farmers market. Favorite Sammich: The Gentle Rueben Favorite Cheese: Sun Dried Tomato Boursin *** follow their Instagram @rebel.cheese for events and rotating specials. read more

Almost 5 years ago after having open heart surgery I changed my lifestyle and have been on a plant based diet ever since. I even gave up cheese due to the cholesterol and salt. Boy have I missed it! But I just got my first order of Rebel Cheese and I was blown away. A void has been filled. Truly a terrific product. Much love - JGD. read more

Seriously cannot recommend this place enough! Incredible, delicious vegan food like you never thought was possible! I HIGHLY recommend the bacon, brie and me and the frenchie. For cheese, I very much recommend the dill havarti. They have great drinks in shop and tons of cute accessories and great accoutrement to create your own cheese and "meat" board too. Their catering staff is amazing too! We just got a few of their trays and salads for a recent event, and our friends and family, none of whom are vegan, absolutely loved the food! A lot of our guests took leftovers home they loved it so much. Don't hesitate to check out Rebel Cheese TODAY! read more

Upon entry, it's super cute! Keep in mind, this review is coming from someone that's not vegan. The pesto pasta was really good. The workers were super friendly! The indoor seating was a bit sparse, but outside is available. The grilled cheese I had genuinely was not bad. The "bacon" is the only thing I was iffy about. Truly, a fun experience for someone wanting to try out vegan options. read more

Fantastic cheese deli place that offers so many great things - soooo many variety of cheeses that you can taste and buy by the ounce (a lot made in house, and some brought in from other places making it a great one-stop shop for all your vegan cheese needs), deli sandwiches, brunch offerings over the weekend, and random vegan goods to buy including dessert (vegan pop tart and cakes!) and chocolate, yum! My partner eats mostly vegan and honestly, this place is great for both vegans and non-vegans alike. They also have a monthly cheese club subscription if you can't get enough! PS, my favorite cheese is the Sun-dried Tomato Herb Boursin - if they have it, you should definitely sample it! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Rebel Cheese! Their vegan cheeses are exquisite, their food is delicious and their staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Their location is also really cool.

Can I give this place 6 stars? Definite 6/5!! This place was amazing!!! Food SPOT ON! The cheese is so good and the deli meat phenomenal! The food is also very filling. I seriously enjoyed my visit here. It's such a cute location with food that tastes better than most. We also had their desert. (Can't remember what it's called) it was this delicious chocolate cake in a cup that was to die for. We also sampled their cheese and both of our picks were delicious. Such good food that will leave your tastebuds happy. Austin is just filled with amazing vegan eats. P.S. They can validate your parking ticket if you park in the garage. And seating is only available outside. read more

Rebel Cheese - The Gentle Reuben The Frenchie - Vegan Near Me - Austin, Texas

The Vegan Cheese - bland and uninteresting. The Vegan Bacon and Alt Meats - heartier and more interesting. The Cheese Soup - I'll pass. The Sandwiches - Hit or miss. Better if they have some sort of jam on them because the other ingredients aren't so great. * * * Their own home-made alt-strawberry pop tart? WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. And add to that WOW WOW WOW. Don't try to put the pop tart into your toaster. It is too big and too delicate. Just eat it out of hand. It will remind you how good a rectangular jelly filled pastry can be. It will also remind you of how many years Kellogg's kept us in artificial misery. Their pop tarts weren't nearly as good as a real deal pop tart really could be. Kellogg's was your bad first husband. Divorce and remarry Rebel Cheese's Pop Tarts. Enjoy Pop Tart happiness for the rest of your life. * * * The bakery here does look like it is first rate. They have have tons and tons of options. I would just blow off the main course and go for dessert here. Austin actually does not have that many good bakeries. Rebel Cheese is a fine addition to Austin's sadly short list of high quality bakeries. Admittedly, the list of Austin fake cheese restaurants is even shorter than the list of Austin high quality bakeries. I vote for keeping the fake cheese list as short as possible. read more

What a gem!! I meant to try this place when they opened but I waited too long then the pandemic happened. They finally reopened to customers dining in so we decided to get dinner. The area is similar to the Domain on the northwest side. They have street and garage parking with dog friendly outdoor seating and indoor seating. They are conveniently located across the dog park. It's just a great location in a revitalized area in east Austin. They have non-alcoholic drinks, wine, beer, cider along with food. I didn't tell my husband that it was a vegan cafe. He ordered the great Grinder sandwich, pasta salad and beer. I got the bacon, Brie and me sandwich with potato salad, rose wine and cheesecake. We got the cinnamon cognac gjetost, Spanish paprika chevre, garlic herb bourzin, Brie, dill havarti, and gruyere to go. In the middle of dinner, I told my husband that the cheese tasted like cheese. He looked at me like I was stupid. I informed him that he was eating plant based meat and cheese. It was non-dairy cheese. He looked at me puzzled. Everything tasted like regular meat and cheese. We both enjoyed everything we tried. Just pleasantly surprised with how great everything tasted. Exceeded our expectations. read more

What an awesome experience at Rebel Cheese! The charcuterie boards were amazing, definitely enough to feed 2-3 people (there were seven of us). The bagel was just okay; I didn't love the cream cheese. I love this area; when we were done we walked around the farmers market and then stopped in for some drinks at BD Reilly's. We'll definitely be back! read more

Best sandwiches (vegan or not) that I've had. We stopped by on a Sunday during a farmers market so street parking was busy so we just parked in the garage for $1 a hour. It was super busy so the wait could be a little but it's worth it. We tried the Bacon, Brie & Me and the Gentle Reuben. Both were uniquely different and taste like their description. Next time we'll need to try more of their cheeses and I really want to try the French Dip the next time. read more
