The Blue Cat Cafe, Austin

The Blue Cat Café takes the feline part of its name seriously. In addition to gourmet vegan hot dogs and Tex-Mex favorites, the cafe serves up bundles of cuteness in the form of adoptable cats. Here, cat lovers play with adorable kittens between bites of vegan sausages made with eggplant, fennel, red wine, and garlic, or sips of Gato Negro House Coffee. The animal-friendly diner's Tex-Mex options include Alley Cat Tacos stuffed with vegan chorizo and topped with vegan crema and cilantro.
