Texas’ first vegan cheese shop Rebel Cheese Vegan Deli & Wine Shop is set to open this coming Sunday in Austin, Texas after a long-awaited construction process. Husband and wife team, Kirsten Maitland and Fred Zwar have partnered to bring their vegan artisan cheese creations to the burgeoning Austin restaurant scene. The plant-based gourmet cafe will be the first of its kind, south of the Mason-Dixon line. The couple relocated to Austin 7 years ago via Fred’s hometown of Seattle. Kirsten grew up in England and has an affinity for the concept of European cafes. This fueled her to create a unique upscale-vegan wine shop and deli that centers around plant-based cheeses that are made in-house, along with craft sandwiches and salad creations. The pair is excited to use their passion for planetary change as well as providing good-tasting vegan cuisine to transform Austin’s growing plant-based restaurant mecca.
