Best South Austin Neighborhood Preservation

Bouldin Creek Cafe

High Time Tea Bar & Brain Gym closed, but the building owner (Leslie Moore of Word of Mouth Catering) cared enough about maintaining the eclectic charm of the neighborhood that she leased to Leslie Martin and Lisa Goodell, two local waitstaff goddesses who caffeinate and cook with aplomb. It is an all-veggie menu with yummies like their Soul Food Plate and Cosmic Sloppy Joes. Hats off for keeping the faith.
