Editorial Review for Veggie Heaven – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Located on Guadalupe across from Dobie Mall, this intimate eatery hosts casual patrons in its 15-table dining room decorated with sparse pinewood walls, orange terracotta-tiled floors and a few vibrant paintings. At lunchtime, the space is bustling with local office workers and has a mellow evening crowd of families and students. The stocked menu features the Mount Fuji appetizer--tortilla wraps with avocado, veggies and cream cheese. The vegetable kebabs are marinated in a rich barbecue-flavored vegetarian sauce.

I've tried places in New York and LA (and Houston, like that had much...), and Veggie Heaven is in a class of it's own. I've lived in Austin, off and on, for about 7 years and this place has been THE "go to place" for great veggie meals the whole time. Unbeatable quality AND quantity (i've probably tried about 40 out of their 50+ entree menu, never once was I disappointed). Fast service. Great peaceful staff, that are very quick with service and very helpful if you have questions. To be clear... what THEY SAY is the top 3, IS THE TOP 3!!! So, if you haven't been there before, you MUST get one of these 3 items, b/c they are 90% of what I've ever gotten for a reason. Protein 2000, Tangerine Mushroom, and Lucky Seven (my personal fav) are all 10 out of 10, and to be honest, the rest of the menu's items do vary from 7-9/10 (and the peanut butter noodles I'd give a 5 or 6, as my least fav thing). Also! The steam buns are very tasty appetizer is very tasty, and the vegetarian sushi is top notch as well. Finally, the VEGAN MILK POWDER (yes VEGAN MILK POWDER) version of their bubble tea, is the BEST BUBBLE TEA I've EVER HAD!!!! All the flavors are great (personal fav=Taro), but whether you're a hemp'd out hippie vegan, or a wild eyed Texan STEAK LOVER who just wants to try the best Bubble Tea in town, ask for the VEGAN version of the bubble tea, in the flavor of your choice. Not a fancy location (or terribly romantic for dates), but a clean and pleasant dining space. And last time I checked, T-Shirts were only 5 bucks, and came in every color. Represent!
Pros: Best Veggie Food Around
Cons: Tiny Space
