In Short
Whether you're a vegetarian or not, Mother's Cafe is a destination. The large booths and sounds of clinking flatware give the ambience of a well-established diner with the fresh fare of a cafe. Regulars enjoy the… Read Full Editorial
Jerks in Charge by Melissa C via Insider Pages on 4/17/2012
I want to say that I love the food in this restaurant, but I am very disappointed with their management staff. I called the restaurant to inquire about catering services. I was told by the man in charge of large take-out orders that I…
Our favorite place! by LAB in Austin via Citysearch on 6/19/2010
Upon moving to Austin 2 years ago, we decided to try out the closest vegetarian restaurant to our house, Mother's Cafe. It was AMAZING. Since then, we have gone back at least 2 times every month. My husband loves the BBQ tofu plate, and I…
Not a vegitarian, NO PROBLEM U WOULD NEVER NO THE DIFFERENCE by cocoapuff882004 via Citysearch on 2/13/2010
I love meat, but one of my friends is taking me to different vegitarian and vegan resteraunts so that I can learn to be open minded... I loved Mothers the food was so GOOD!!! You would never know the difference. I didn't feel bad about…
This is my favorite! by LaraP07 via Citysearch on 12/28/2009
I have loved the artichoke heart enchiladas ever since I can remember! I was so sad when this place burned, but I'm thrilled to see that it is back and running. I was in Europe for a few years and when I came back, the first place I wanted…
Mother's Cafe & Garden is Delightful by Brady B via Insider Pages on 9/6/2009
I adore the Veggie Medley, and the Vegan Spinach Lasagna. Cashew Tamari dressing on salad or with veggies is delightful. The wait staff can be iffy. Meagan used to be my fav but she's moved on to greater things. Christopher has waited on…
Decent healthy food, bad experiences by jonbolden via Citysearch on 7/24/2009
I live in Hype Park and used to frequent Mother's cafe. I was usually by myself. The last seven times I've been there, I'm almost always treated with contempt. I assume it's because i'm alone and their tip is going to be less than a big…
If you like veggie food this is pretty good by universeman via Citysearch on 12/4/2008
Dive-like atmosphere but pretty good food. I'm really writing this primarily to test out Facebook Connect...
Nice food, really lousy service by WhatWouldKeithRichardsDo via Citysearch on 11/28/2008
I've gone to Mother's twice now, and each time I have seriously considered not going there again. My first visit was for brunch with a friend. Our waitress was such a snot - typical Austin tattooed girl, hair in a bandanna, who disappeared…
Best Lasagna EVER! by heatherinaustin via Citysearch on 9/22/2008
I have been going to Mother's Cafe & Garden for almost 10 years. The atmosphere is really relaxed, the patio garden is peaceful to eat in. The prices are totally reasonable and you leave STUFFED. \r

The veggie lasagna has nuts and…
flavorless and overrated by thewiz via Citysearch on 7/22/2008
horrible. thats it... one word. HORRIBLE. over priced and bland. i ordered a tempeh sandwich and i dont even think it was cooked. anyone who knows anything about tempeh knows that its got to be steamed or boiled for at least 20 min or your…
Yummy Healthy Vegetarian Food by Kimberly H via Insider Pages on 6/9/2008
This place has the whole package. It is clean, comfy and yummy. All their meals are made with fresh local ingredients that leave you feeling good after eating them. I really enjoyed their meatless lasagna and hibiscus tea. You have to try…
A lovely breakfast by conjunction3 via Citysearch on 6/1/2008
Upon entering the restaurant, i smelled the amazing aroma of pancakes and waffles. I saw many an eggs benedict and plates full of delicious migas on the way to our table. The layout of the house is so quaint and aesthetically pleasing,…
Disappointing Service by squiddygoodness via Citysearch on 4/15/2008
This was my first bad experience at Mother's...but it was bad enough to think twice about not going there again. The service was simply atrocious. The waitress took forever to take our order and then she seemed to disappear for a really,…
The food is average but the service is HORRIBLE by austinlover22 via Citysearch on 3/31/2008
I keep trying to give Mother's a chance to change my perception, but the waitstaff continues to disappoint. As far as the food goes, it's pretty average. I haven't found anything phenomenal and nothing has been horrible. The menu items…
One of the best Vegetarian restaurants: Gotta try it! by chemgirlle via Citysearch on 3/29/2008
Mother's is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Austin. It has been around a long time, and for a very good reason.\r
\r
You cannot argue with the quality of food they serve. I'm a meat-eater myself, but when I eat here, there is…
Great vegetarian food! by e893 via Citysearch on 3/17/2008
My roommate and two guys friends went here Sunday night and loved it! Not only was our server nice and dealt with the two guys we were with(we hadn't told them beforehand that it was vegetarian only) but she was very understanding of our…
Veggie-heaven by austiniteX2 via Citysearch on 2/29/2008
I've gone to Mother's before and after the fire, and though the last time I went were still working on the garden-area, it's the same (or on the road to being the same) ol' Mother's. Occasionally a bad server can be had, but we've always…
food great, help terrible by llamag via Citysearch on 2/6/2008
My first visit to mother's tonight was a letdown! After reading such good things about it, waiting for it to open after the fire, and finally getting there, my party of three experienced hell on earth at the hands of a very ill-tempered…
decent food but overpriced by vrh07 via Citysearch on 9/18/2007
The food is pretty good, but it is a overpriced and it is always a guess as to how stoned your server is. Only sometimes is this entertaining. I do like that my roommate and I can walk to it.
Don't vegetarians use salt? by dawoozhie via Citysearch on 4/22/2007
I wish I liked Mother's. It's walkable for me, has that cool garden area, friendly staff, but every time I give it a try I have the *blandest* food imaginable! Mostly, the food needs salt and spice! Vegetarian food can be so tasty, but…
