Delicious Deli for a quick lunch! Lots of vegan options

Had a delicious popcorn tofu poboy for lunch. I also love all the vegan grocery options, including cookie dough and chocolate covered donuts. Will definitely be back.

vegan friendly grocery store!

i was very pleased to see that there are so many vegan options when i first got here. they have vegan donuts, sandwiches, sushi, potstickers, cookies and more. i got the maple glaze donut which was delicious and fluffy. their vegan oatmeal cream pie was a little too sweet for my taste though

Pros: plethora of options, delicious food

Cons: can be a little pricey

Awesome selection

I spent way more time and money here on a treasure hunt for their vegan options. Lots of them in the prepared foods section, refrigerated items, snacks, etc. The only problem was that I couldn't find their famous vegan donuts, and when I finally gave up looking and went to check out, the cashier confirmed that they lost their donut maker. 😞 Hope they can find another person to fill this donut-shaped void!

Sandwiches!!!

I’m sure this is just the beginning of my relationship with Wheatsville! The vegan Rueben is so good. It was a bit messy, but I think the messier the better! Saucy, vinegary, crunch from the sauerkraut ~~ everything you could want in a sandwich.
And it was packaged in paper! Yay!

I want to try allll the vegan sammies

Wheatsville fan

Love this place! I wish we could have one in every city. Tons of vegan pre-made options, donuts, cakes, and pies. Supports local shops. Offers cooking classes. Can't day enough good things about this place!

Support your local co-op!

I don't live in Austin anymore, but I think about Wheatsville all the time. Great selection. It has everything you need or want or don't want. Lost a star because it is rather expensive and Austin doesn't need any extra aid in gentrifying neighborhoods.

Cons: Expensive

Wonderful local store!

Great grocery store, with lots of very great local items! Very fresh food and produce, great in house made food items, friendly staff, and very open and accepting vibe! I personally love shopping here when I can, and it's worth supporting! Vegans, I can definitely recommend checking the stores out!

Pros: A perfect local grocery store for Austin!

Cons: Not as large as whole foods, but better priced!

Support your local co-ops!

Besides being a wonderful co-op grocery store, Wheatsville Food Co-op has extensive vegan choices. Their produce section is marvelous. The hot bar and salad bar are creative and very veg-friendly. I’m not a huge fan of meat replacement products, but this place has them all. This co-op makes me soo happy!

Amazing Local Market!

Vegan donuts were amazing! I got a regular one and a cup of donut holes. I also picked up the buffalo popcorn tofu sandwich, and when I mentioned to them that I’d be taking it on my flight back home... they offered to put the sauce in a separate container so that it wouldn’t get soggy! Didn’t get to eat it until hours later but it was delicious even then. Highly recommend this place!!!

Pros: Wide selection , Nice employees

delicious vegan baked goods!

Try the Austin cream donut and the store baked chocolate vegan cupcakes! On the weekends they have delicious vegan biscuits and gravy in the prepared food section.

OMG popcorn tofu

Such a great coop store. The staff is always friendly. Then have some of the best vegan options around. And they feature some amazing popcorn tofu. I have seen some other similar tofu around, but it really does not compare. Highly recommend the buffalo sandwhich.

Pros: Popcorn Tofu, Great hot bar

Best vegan donuts in town!

Best vegan donuts in town. They usually have lots of vegan options on the buffet and in the refrigerated section too. Don't forget to grab some mini vegan peanut butter chocolate cups by the register!

My Go to Grocery Store

I love Wheatsville so much, I get the majority of my groceries there. Their deli selection is full of vegan options (try the buffalo tofu with their vegan blue cheese, the green goblin smoothie, the vegan donuts formerly made by Red Rabbit and the mongolion tofu salad). Great selection of all things vegan plus they carry sweet ritual ice cream and skull and cakebones cupcakes. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff with a great vibe.

Pros: Great Selection, Wonderful Vegan Friendly Deli, Cute and Cozy

Great Neighborhood Grocer

Lots of variety, this grocery store is a gem with pantry staples, fresh produce and cooked food, too. The beans and rice is simple but cheap and filling. Don't miss the opportunity to try the popcorn tofu.

Wide selection of Vegan foods

This local-economy store carries (almost) all of my favorite prepared vegan foods (including new favorite - "Red Rabbit Co-Op Bakery" donuts) as well as organic, non-gmo, local produce, fresh foods. Wheatsville also supports other local co-ops, producers, businesses.

Pros: Good selection of Vegan prepared foods, Red Rabbit Co-Op (Vegan) Bakery products, Very friendly atmosphere

Cons: Only one, Relatively limited parking spaces

Great store

On one hand, you have Whole Foods' flagship; on the other, you have this neighborhood co-op, which is nothing like Whole Foods in terms of scale but does prove to be a gem in its own right. The interior was bright and clean, atmosphere was great, staff was cheerful and friendly. Local stores like this usually carry more interesting and special items than the general stuff in the big chains, and this one is no exception. The salad bars were also pretty good with many vegan options. Food was tasty enough. The chocolate cake was a bit too dry, but the GF carrot bread was delicious!

Pros: wide selection, great vibe

If you can't find it at Whole Foods...

...you'll probably find it here.

I've only been to Wheatsville a couple of times. There is usually a lot of traffic in its neighborhood and their parking lot is sometimes 100% full. They do, however, carry a wider variety of meat substitutes than any other store I've been to in Austin. They also have many other things in stock that you can't find elsewhere. I haven't had it myself, but I hear their popcorn tofu is amazing (it has its own Facebook page).

Pros: Hard to find items, Variety, Take out

Cons: Traffic, Small parking lot

A lot of people come for the pop corn tofu

We are decidedly healthier and went for a custom sandwich :) They were extremely kind in granting our oil-free requests. Wheatsville is everything Whole Foods can never be, local and feels like your neighborhood grocery store.

Great Deli

Popcorn Tofu. I don't really need to say more. Those who have tried it, know the truth. For anyone who out there who doesn't care for Tofu (myself included) You will love this stuff. And most everything they have is very good. baked goods, frito pie, smoothies, etc... good service. not 100% vegie, and not cheap, but worth going back.

Pros: popcorn tofu, food , service

Amazing

I can not say enough good things about Wheatsville. This is the best place to grocery shop in the Austin area, but it's also one of my favorite places to eat. If you are looking for food to go I highly recommend a Mongolian tofu salad from the "to-go section" with cashew tamari dressing...or if your looking for something a little less healthy order the Popcorn tofu Po-boy. Don't forget to grab a chocolate cookie on the way out! The staff is super helpful and its an awesome environment.

Pros: great food, friendly staff, good variety of healthy options

Very vegan-friendly, local place

Wheatsville is the favorite place for those who want a smaller, less over-the-top version of the downtown Whole Foods. They serve meat, but they have a ton of vegan stuff, and their deli is especially awesome for vegans. Try the Popcorn Tofu if they have it in stock (by the pound or as a sandwich).

Cute co-op

Wheatsville is a nice little co-op with local and health foods with a large bulk foods section- also all the people I have talked to that worked there have seemed very friendly. Very good lunch deli as well!

Pros: easy to find, veg grocery items

Cons: crowded parking
