Great spot with some healthy food options. It was my first time in Austin on a work trip, and I am glad to have found this place. I got the their chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. Generous servings and some good healthy side options. Also, some good craft beer options as well.

Local Foods 2nd Street Austin was delicious!! Fresh, local ingredients. So good!! It is a little pricey but you know you’re getting high quality. Got the white fish ceviche, Bahn Mi with homemade chips and potato salad, spicy-eggy-bacon-yummy noodle bowl, summer Thai green curry, truffled egg salad sandwich with posole. All good choices with the ceviche being our favorite. Highly recommend!

It’s such a bright and vibrant place serving healthy food. You order at the counter, seat yourself, and they bust the tables. I ordered the tempeh and beet burger as I love a good veggie burger that’s not mock meat. It was DE-LI-CIOUS and huge!!! The burger was super flavorful and was topped with fresh veggies and sauce. The fresh made kettle chips were warm and coated in Old Bay. The escabeche offered a fresh, spicy crunch on the side. I’d def recommend.

Great healthy breakfast in a bright, cheery space. I enjoyed the scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, and gluten free bread. The staff is friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs.

On the corner of 2nd & Willie Nelson Blvd, it’s an adorable salad, samich & soup shop with a coffee bar. Local produce (of course) and dog friendly. It’s also interestingly high tech too. Just step into the restroom and check out the mirrors ! The food portions are definitely generous.

Was in Austin for the weekend for an event, and stopped here for Brunch on Sunday morning. The food was absolutely amazing, everyone is so nice, and the vibes are through the roof incredible. Wish they had one in fort worth! I will be back next time I am in Austin.

Great menu- but your staff is the literal opposite of detail oriented. I pick up food here 1x a week average (bc the food is good!) but 9/10 times my To-go order is WRONG. Today, part of my order was a kids grilled cheese add tomato add avocado – WHY is there also chicken and cucumbers?! (See mangled sandwich photo for reference). Unfortunately, this is not their first offense. Typically I get the chicken sandwich with SOS, no cucumbers . Yet, I have never received my sauce on the side. Ever. EVER. (Cucumbers are 50/50). Maybe don’t allow modifications if ya don’t want to modify the food?!!!??? And look, every now and then ppl mess up- I fully get it, but this is a consistent pattern and whenever I have said Something I am met with sass or thanks for letting us know! Same result. This food isn’t cheap either- get it together please!!

I loved the Rice village Local in Houston and was a regular for years. This new location is great as well! The BLT was one of the best BLT’s I’ve ever had. It’s a must have for sure. I would also recommend the Bahn Mi.

Staff are very friendly. Nice environment, indoor and outdoor seating. I feel like I ate a healthy sandwich. If you like Jalapeños you’ll be happy. The potato salad was so delicious. $30 per person.
