Great food and even better vibes - Edit
I was a little skeptical of this place but WOW was I impressed by the food! Everything was fresh and flavorful and the dining hall had such a cool vibe. The whole area was cool with little shops and seating areas. I also paid an extra $3 for a cookie which was totally worth it.

THIS PLACE IS SO COOL - Edit
You need to go check this place out. Once you enter the "village," it feels like you've been transported to another country or something. It's It's peaceful and everyone was very friendly. The food was great. You pay $16 (lunch) and get whatever is on the menu that day (see pictures). Some of the sauces used on the vegetables were insanely good. My wife got one of the cookies afterwards as well and said it was delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're into the healthy/holistic lifestyle.

A Nourishing Family Favorite with Treats for Everyone! - Edit
Casa de Luz is such a special place for our family! We host our vegan family meetups here because the food is not only incredibly nourishing but also absolutely delicious. It’s one of the few places where we all leave feeling satisfied and energized.
Read moreThe added bonus? A playground right on site, which makes it perfect for families! My son even requested to celebrate his birthday here—though I think he might have been just as excited about the dessert case as the playground!
Pros: Wholesome, flavorful plant-based meals, eals – Family-friendly with a playground, Amazing dessert selection that kids (and adults!)

A must - Edit
This place is one of my favourite places found in HappyCow. The meal is budget friendly and the staff and atmosphere is really friendly and calm.
Read moreI cannot express how much i liked this place, you should truly go and visit, the dish was incredibly tasty and the amount of desserts its mind blowing.
The place emanates strong community and "this is how we are supposed to live" vibes.
I went two days in a row. The first day the menú was soup with veggies and the next one tacos, both amazing. Then the desserts i tried were chia pudding and another pudding that i cannot remember.
All in all YOU SHOULD VISIT THIS PLACE.
THANKS!!!!

Good value healthy meals - Edit
Great outdoor playground for kids. Of note, only one option on the menu daily—usually a combination of soup, salad, dressing, and beans. Dessert is extra.

This place deserves infinite stars! - Edit
If I could easily get to Casa De Luz, I would probably be there at least 1x a week. Every time I am there, my eyes deceive me and make me think I'm going to be starving afterwards but I'm always completely sated and just ever-so-slightly past comfortably full! The sauces and dressings are so good. You are eating so clean but it's still delicious.
Read moreI look forward to checking out the second location on the east side.
Pros: the ambience, the food, not having to think of what to order

Relaxed and delicious - Edit
This is an Austin classic place you can go and eat your vegetarian food on your own or with your entire gang. Super relaxed, comfortable and homey… with a post yoga kind of vibe (don’t picture a power yogi, but more a heavily meditated elder yogi vibe).

Healthful oasis - Edit
I had lunch here while visiting from out of state as part of a yoga retreat -- a perfect fit! The restaurant is just one area of a tree-filled center designed to promote physical and spiritual health. A fixed menu is prepared each day with soup, salad, and multi-course main plate of all vegan, organic and gluten-free ingredients. The day I was there, the menu consisted of miso soup with mixed veggies; garden greens tossed in pumpkin seed, pecan and basil dressing; basmati with mixed veggies; pinto beans; mixed veggies with almond/walnut/pecan sauce; kale with sunflower seed dill sauce; and pickled beets with red cabbage. They offered multiple beverage options, and I chose hibiscus tea. There were also multiple dessert options for additional charge, and I chose pecan pie. Everything was delicious, and left me feeling very good after my meal.
