This is a very hot local Austin spot tailored to Vegetarians and vegans. My favorite by far is the "Renidict" with tofu instead of eggs... It's seriously awesome, but sells out well before dinner, so go for lunch or brunch.

A spring turned into a giant pool. The water is VERY cold, so it's great on a hot day. Note that on holidays and weekends there can be a huge line. Also it's closed on Thursdays for cleaning.
