Rock-About’s skilled instructors really know the ropes (pun intended), and the unique, team-based setup promote teamwork and self-confidence just as much as rock climbing skills.

Vegetarians and vegans in the Austin area have more restaurant options than those in some other cities, and Bouldin Creek Café is just one of these favorite veggie eateries. The casual restaurant is dedicated to providing wholesome, meat-free dishes at affordable prices, as well as organic wines and fair-trade coffees to go with them.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day at Bouldin Creek Café, and the menu includes meat-free omelets, tofu scrambles, and vegan pancakes that are just as good as the originals versions. Tacos and sandwiches are some of the most popular items for lunch and dinner, and there are also more elaborate entrees for larger appetites.

Bouldin Creek Café has an industrial loft feel on the inside, with mismatched tables offering ample seating and local art hanging from the walls. Outside, there are a few patio tables where guests can enjoy their meals al fresco.
