Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots Across Austin

HARSH SHARMA

Really good food, decent price and atmosphere. Gluten free. The thoughtfully crafted gluten-free offerings, such as the French toast and well executed smashed potatoes, are a testament to the kitchen’s attention to detail. I really like the complimentary tap water scene they have on the patio

Rosie N

Could not rate The Well higher. Amazing dining experience, our waiter was beyond five stars. Food was exceptional, atmosphere magic. A coeliacs dream with everything gluten free & consciously sourced. We will be back🙌🏼

Kailee Browning

The best cafe for anyone with anyone with allergies or diet restrictions. Gluten free options galore along with vegan butter and cheese! The best breakfast spot during a trip in Austin. The. One was eclectic and the staff were all very friendly.

Gluten Free waffles and golden tofu weekend brunch is incredible and so unique! Love everything I've tried. Over the years the service has been up and down, but the food is sooo good!!!

Jenny Preece

My family is obsessed with Rachel’s red velvet cake. My husband was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I found Sweet Charli Bakery when searching for a gluten free red velvet cake in Austin to continue our pre-Celiac tradition. We have now ordered 3 of these and would continue to pick this cake over one with gluten any day - it’s amazing! I can’t wait to try some of her other baked goods!

Caiti Pattillo

I love that they have an iced (“frozen”) chocolate drink for people who can’t do caffeine! They don’t charge extra for alternative milk, they have vegan and gluten free options, and their service is wonderful (shout out to Gavin for answering my one billion questions and for being so patient and kind - what a star!). Their cupcakes are super tasty. Their icing is made of icing sugar (confectionery sugar) I think (rather than being buttercream), so they are on the sweet side, but I have a sweet tooth so I don’t mind. I got the chocolate raspberry, lemon, and blue velvet (some of Monday’s flavours) and I really enjoyed them all, though I’m a sucker for lemon. My husband got the birthday cake cupcake and was stoked. I love that you can get tiny versions of their big cupcakes because now I get to taste them all, and that makes me very happy!

Marissa Escobedo

mind is mf blown. Lots of amazing gluten-free pastries, and absolutely amazing ice cream. The staff has great energy. 10 out of 10 all around.

Erika

A must-eat place while in Austin. We shockingly were able to walk in without reservations on a Thursday night and were seated outside immediately. Our server was the BEST and even left us with a to-go container of our favorite gluten free crackers. The menu is huge and I have no doubt everything is delicious. Our favorite was the short rib hummus (with the GF crackers)!!

Rob Higareda

I might be slightly obsessed with this place. The food is delicious their margaritas are the best in town. Highly recommend checking out this place ( make a reservation on OpenTable though) Queso is top notch and if you’re gluten intolerant they have options !

Snehapriya V

What An amazing experience. Everything on their menu is freshly made, no overnight veggies all vegan and gluten free! The village is filled with trees and is a cozy vibe!

Tommy Lynch

Pet friendly We ate in the little shaded alcove. Every aspect of our breakfast was picture perfect and Erica's smile was sunshine. We frquent it for breakfast. Good gluten free options.

Skyler Vasquez

Finally! Gluten free pancakes that are perfect! I was so happy with my breakfast. I got the gf pancakes, fruit, and bacon. All were excellent. We went on a weekday morning and there was no wait. The staff were super sweet and the restaurant was clean. I’ll be back soon!

Laurel Morris

Great Gluten Free (GF) options labeled on menu, although I wish places just had a separate GF menu. Pork chop & Peahces was phenomenal, along with the soup, Cesar salad, and meatloaf! Usually no wait so reservations not always necessary. Feels healthy.

Syrene Starchilde

Love the patience and genuine friendliness of the staff, and the food was good! You can tell thought was put into texture and taste. Nice and casual spot for your omnis, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten abstaining besties.

Lawrence Powell

Great place for Tex-Mex. Lots of gluten free options.

Scott Conner

Jack Allen's is legit one of the best places in Austin. We've been a fan for years, and they've even catered our wedding back in 2011 when they used to do that. Jack's menu has stood the test of time. Their specials are fantastic, and when they found out the margaritas has gluten in them (my wife is allergic) they even changed their recipe for it. Hands down great value. You can seat 2 adults, two kids, appetizers, drinks, and dessert for far more reasonable prices than "trendy" places who either charge more or dont have nearly as good food. If you don't like Jack's, your standards are wrong and I suggest you just move back to LA where at least you can feel important about it.

Mr. Natural has been doing veg in Austin since 1988 and it was honestly refreshing to visit a vegetarian spot that harkened back to a time when the dining format was as unique in a veggie restaurant as it was to find one at all. Point being there is a little learning curve to dining at Mr. Natural in my opinion. You order at the counter, which is the same order spot for baked goods (which are in three different locations), take out, dine in, juice, grab n go or soft serve. So you need to know what you want (definitely preview the menu online) before you step up to the counter and what your objective is. The staff is very, very helpful and will explain the salad bar (which is a whole other thing) and the validated parking situation (which is another). If you get stuff to dine-in, staff will bring it out and call out your name. They will bring silverware but you are on your own to retrieve water (by the salad bar). The other interesting throwback I am more thankful for is the food. Almost everything is made in house and is not overly sweet or salty. In this day and age of frozen beyond burger restaurants I could not have been happier. The mole enchiladas were excellent and I bought waaaay too many baked goods to go. I did not realize beforehand that Mr. Natural had the widest and best selection of vegan baked goods in the Austin area with many gluten free options and beautiful custom cakes! This place will go in my regular rotation and I highly recommend it for a breakfast option. *dog friendly patio

T Nguyen

The best mochi donuts in Austin! Teresa and Anthony, a husband-wife power duo, run this little pop-up business all on their own. They use a traditional Korean recipe and use 100% rice flour in their donuts, making it completely gluten-free. The flavors change often and are creative, fun and ALWAYS delicious!

Alice Madsen

Deliciously smoky brisket. Was thrilled at all the celiac safe options!

Casey Glaude

A good spot for gluten free brunch! You can get any of the pancakes in gluten free or get the pancake flight like I did if you want to sample multiple flavors! I think there is a gluten free French toast as well. Definitely join the waitlist before you leave the house if it’s a weekend!

Hannah H

Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.

David Cornwell

Amazing. Got the G-Free Pesto Chicken Club with fruit. Absolutely delicious. The pesto and caramelized onions are an awesome combo (if somewhat messy, haha). It was presented excellently-- even had a toothpick sign declaring it gluten free. Service was very friendly. Food didn't come out super fast, but it tasted like the onions were freshly caramelized, and that takes time. The atmosphere was great--a blend of retro diner and modern. I am thoroughly glad I stopped in today.

Jarrett Allen

We have had this restaurant on our list for a long time and it did not disappoint! Every single bite of food that we took was packed with flavor and was super tasteful. The menu was 100% gluten-free and had so many different options to choose from. Just a note, the time it takes to get your food after ordering it may take a little bit, but the wait is well worth it! The vibe was relaxed and mellow, perfect for having a conversation over drinks and small bites. For dessert we had the tres leches with a homemade meringue on top. It was a fantastic way to top off a great dinner!

Duane McKinney

Great donuts, lots of vegan and gluten free options. I wish I had found this place sooner. I recently tried something other than the donuts here, wow. The macarons are perfection. I went to pick up some as a treat for the office and also got myself a kolache. Everyone was raving about how good the macarons and cake balls were. The kolache was amazing, the texture and flavor were masterful.

Chevis LaBelle

I always have a lovely time here but writing this review to shout out our lovely sever Ariana. She was such a light and her energy made the experience that much better. The shrimp & grits is great and my friend who has a gluten allergy never has to worry when she comes here. 10 out of 10 will recommend.

Rebecca Hollington

Salty Donut is the best donut shop in ALL of Austin! They have so many options and even gluten-free for those that need it! It’s where I take all my friends who are visiting that want a sweet treat in the morning!

Fatima Albattat

What a great place! I was astonished by how great the food is here, especially the gluten free options. I haven’t had fried chicken in years and I devoured it in seconds. It was absolutely spectacular. Our waitress was incredible as well.

Brianna Fries

Food was phenomenal. In our group we also had a person from Mexico and one from Colombia and they also raved about the food. We had the tacos, flautas, quesadilla and caesar and all were amazing (and gluten free!) We wound up accidentally leaving something at our table and the staff were so quick to message me via OpenTable, where we made the reservation, to let me know. Highly recommend!

Karen Clark

We haven't been to KL in awhile so we were excited when friends wanted to go. Not what it used to be.... Waiter messed up a couple of our orders. I ordered gluten-free platter but it came out regular & had to be remade. Everyone at our table was totally finished eating before mine finally came out. The waiter forgot the butter & syrup. Unfortunately, the scrambled eggs were cooked very thin and were like rubber and the pancakes were super dry & crumbly. Then it took forever for the waiter to separate the tickets but then got two of them wrong & had to get that sorted out. No manager ever came to ask how things were or to help the waiter out with the issues. We used to love Kerbey Lane. Definitely not worth it now.

Tami Gray

Suzi was our waitress and she was wonderful! great service and she remembered my daughter and granddaughters from past visits! even remember that my daughter had a gluten intolerance! food was amazing too

Jordan Baker

used to really like this place but lately, half of the time I place an online order they cancel it immediately saying something in my order is out of stock... my order is a little hat combo. a burger, fries and a drink. why are you open if you don't have your restaurants namesake? doesn't make much sense to me. you shouldn't offer online ordering if you are just going to cancel it immediately. their online ordering in the favor app is also broken. if you add a gluten free bun to your combo, it adds the surcharge to the drink, fries and the burger. it's cheaper to order everything separately which defeats the purpose of a combo.

Rose

I was really excited to try the Original Pancake House after reading positive reviews, especially about their gluten-free waffles. As someone with a severe gluten intolerance, I was eager to finally enjoy a decent GF waffle. When we arrived, I made sure to clearly specify my need for the gluten-free option when ordering. At first, everything seemed great. The waffles were delicious, and both my husband and I were impressed by how good they tasted, especially for a gluten-free version. However, a few bites in, I started feeling uncomfortable. At first, I thought maybe it was just me, but it quickly escalated. I had to rush to the restroom and realized something was very wrong. It turns out, after my husband checked with the waitress, we had actually been served regular, full wheat waffles—not the gluten-free ones I’d ordered. This is a huge issue, especially for anyone with serious gluten intolerance or allergies. It’s not just a minor mistake—this could have been dangerous. I am extremely disappointed, and this is something that should never happen, especially when dietary restrictions are clearly communicated. It’s hard to trust a place that can’t get something so basic right. I won’t be returning, and I’d advise others with gluten sensitivities to be cautious.

Sandra Bucklin

Every dish we ordered was delicious. Alejandro provided very friendly and helpful service. His recommendations did not disappoint. We ordered the gluten-free cinnamon roll pancakes, absolutely delicious! Gluten-free eggs Benedict were a real treat and the hashbrowns were super flavorful without being too salty. I was super impressed with the very reasonable amount of time it took for our food to make it to the table. This was a much better experience than previous visits and wait time. Perfect Mother’s Day brunch.

Andrea Nettles

The gluten free burger bun is like biting into a brick. I might need to see my dentist after trying to eat it. Absolutely terrible.

elmore mundell

Great variety of foods and a whole gluten-free menu. 😋 Very comfortable seating and calm atmosphere. Our food arrived quickly and tasted amazing. Definitely would recommend and definitely coming back!

Victorious Thompson

I celebrated my birthday here, and hands down, this was the best dining experience I’ve had in Austin in the last three years. The ambiance, customer service, and music were all top-tier. I ordered the chef’s special—a five-course meal that turned into six, thanks to our incredible server, Kendra. She was thoughtful, kind, and knew the menu inside and out. Every recommendation she made was spot on. Plus, my lady is gluten- and dairy-free, and anytime a restaurant can accommodate her needs without skipping a beat, it’s a huge win. 5-star everything—can’t wait to come back!

Eric LaBrant

Aiden was an energetic host and server that kept the coffee mugs full. The food was outstanding. The bake potatoe omlette was an unexpected yum (the green onions really made the flavor pop). My sister had plenty of gluten free options, her pancakes actually had flavor. Don't care for the diner look but I am old school. I miss the cozy home feel of the original location.

Melissa Isaacs

Queso was great. Many gluten free options. Hot, fresh, great Tex Mex. Patio dining was pleasant.

Doris Smalls

Melanie Kay

Gluten free hot food at an airport!!!!! Thank you sooooo much! Baked potato with brisket was to die for! And good value for airport food

Dominique Peel

Love Hat Creek, they have a big selection of gluten-free!

Jennie Rexer

Friendly old school (1978) diner with American comfort food classics. Dont expect anything to be healthy :) They don’t have fresh squeezed orange juice, or real maple syrup (though they do offer some whole wheat, vegetarian, & gluten free options. They also have organic apple juice.) They keep cost down, service is efficient and friendly, and all food was perfectly prepared. Very kid friendly.

Lily Brannon

Celiac friendly, they show exactly what is cross contaminated on the menu!

Kailie Mallett

We're visiting from out of state and were looking for a quick bite. We came in today around 1 and I believe it was Jared (maybe Jason?) that helped us out. He was super friendly and welcoming. He had a great attitude and was fun to talk with. Our food was super fast and yummy! Also, gluten free friendly which is great!

Em M

Great staff, good gluten-free selection of food, and the staff will help with recommendations if you can't decide. Their drinks are delicious too, if you're old enough for the bar menu. Always fun to go and eat there.

Sammy Midler

I ordered a gluten free burger with extra mayo and had it delivered through favor only to take two bites and feel like the bun didn’t taste gluten free. Not only was it not gluten free and I have an allergy to it but there was also no mayo. I’m warning don’t waste your money on this establishment, they don’t care about your order. They aren’t careful with allergies. After two bites I’m going to be sick all night,

Bird Bird Biscuit fills a hole in my heart with their gluten-free Biscuitarian. The first one I had actually made me cry happy tears. It had been years since I'd had a proper southern biscuit and it is *perfect*. Perfect texture, perfect melt-in-your mouth buttery magic. The egg is perfect, the veggie sausage perfect. If you are unhappily gluten-free like me, give yourself this joy. Remember to order at least an hour ahead!

Olivia Rundgren

A bit short staffed, but LOVED being able to drink a gluten free beer for the first time in a long time. Burrito bowl was super fresh tasting and we enjoyed a few rounds of trivia

Bridget

Great for gluten free
