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
We came here to celebrate our son's 23rd birthday as well as his upcoming graduation from The Culinary Institute of America, and it was well worth every cent!
We did the tasting menu and shared everything family style. The food is dairy and gluten free as well as plant-forward. That said, the braised shirt ribs did not disappoint. We left full and happy.
If you're dining with someone who doesn't like vegetables, bring them here to change their mind.
The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free!
The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!
The cupcakes are pretty good, rarely they can be a little dense/dry but they are almost always great! I reccomend the red velvet, lemon, and soft pink extra! The quiche and almond cake are outstanding.
For a bakery they have lots of gluten free options. Not just some cupackes, but brownies, monster cookies and almond cake? Wow!
It is pricey but I'd say it is worth it. Make sure to call ahead to see what gluten free is available if you want gluten free.
So there I was, minding my own business, headed toward a totally different restaurant when—bam!—Miss Chickpeas Cafetel on Callaghan Road in San Antonio popped up like a delightful little plot twist in my lunch plans. The name alone caught my eye, and I figured, hey, why not shake things up?
The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which already made this detour feel like a good decision. The vibe? Super cute, cozy, and definitely a place with regulars (always a good sign). And while I’ll be honest—I was a little skeptical about vegan food (I mean, can it really compete with the meaty classics?)—that hesitation melted the second I laid eyes on their baked goods case. Vegan and gluten-friendly treats that looked like they just stepped off a dessert runway? Yes, please.
Before I even touched a menu, I was already halfway sold. I chatted with the friendly staff, and one of them enthusiastically recommended the Breakfast Sammy. Throwing caution—and my meat-loving instincts—to the wind, I ordered it along with a German chocolate cupcake that was practically whispering sweet nothings from the dessert case.
When the food came out, it looked great. The vegan bacon threw me for a second—it definitely looked different—but once I took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised. Not your traditional bacon texture, but flavorful and satisfying in its own right. The ciabatta roll was soft with just the right amount of chew, and the whole sandwich worked really well together.
What made the experience even better? The staff came to check on me, genuinely interested in how I was enjoying my first dive into their menu. We chatted a bit, and they let me know their baked goods come from their local bakery right here in San Antonio. Major bonus points for supporting local.
All in all, Miss Chickpeas Cafetel was a refreshing, feel-good surprise. It’s a great lighter option when you want something satisfying but not heavy. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their breakfast offerings—and probably sneak in another cupcake (or two).
If you’ve ever been curious about vegan food but hesitant to try, let Miss Chickpeas be your gateway. It was mine—and I'm glad I took the chance.
Drove the 3 hours to Dallas just to come here and it did not disappoint! Incredible gluten free foods and those seem so hard to find these days. Absolutely delicious and everyone was so nice! I’m 100% going to come back!
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!!!
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.
This was a WOW for me. We were just passing through and asked some locals for a breakfast cafe nearby. We were to Bluebonnet Cafe and Tea Thyme Cafe. Once they said they offered gluten-free options, I was sold. If a place offers gluten-free options, they are sure to offer lots of fruit and veggie options and be very careful with their menu. I’m so glad we chose this one. The staff was SO kind and patient. The omelette was THE BEST I’ve ever had, with so many veggies, real eggs, and mozzarella cheese. I’ve never had an omelette with mozzarella cheese before. They also had a side called “enchanted mushrooms” and it was so amazing in flavor. I wish we had this restaurant back home. I’d be there weekly!
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!
Disappointing Experience Despite High Hopes
As someone with a gluten intolerance, I was genuinely excited to try Grapevine Café due to their extensive gluten-free menu. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations, and we won’t be returning.
We arrived early on a Sunday (around 7:15 a.m.) when the restaurant was less than half full, so we expected prompt service. Our server, who never introduced herself, took our drink order (hot tea, smoothie, Diet Coke), which took about 10 minutes to arrive. After placing our food order, we waited another 25 minutes for our meals.
The food itself was underwhelming—my potatoes were cold and completely unseasoned. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to address it with our server, as she never returned to check on us. Dirty dishes remained on our table, and I had to go to the host stand to request the check since our server had vanished entirely.
With so many great breakfast options in town, I recommend exploring those instead. Grapevine Café might look promising, but the poor service and lackluster food made for a truly disappointing visit.
Delicious, nutritious and fresh food. Familiar with gluten free diet and nice options (gf crepes, bread, etc.) Nice choice of teas and coffee. Comfortable seating.
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.
I can’t say enough good things, every experience I’ve had here has been great. I’m gluten free and visit family in Galveston a couple of times a year but just found this place. Everyone has been so helpful when I’ve had questions. I’ve tried the gluten free pop tart, gluten free cinnamon roll, gluten free key lime pie, and gluten free vegan meatball pocket and gf v curry pocket and it’s all been soooooo delicious. It’s all so flaky and moist and some of the best gf pastries I’ve ever had. Their matcha is fine, kind of bland and too sweet but their iced tea is tasty especially when paired with a nice sweet treat.
Cannot recommend this place enough and I’m so glad it exists!
Very pleasant experience. The waitress told me “we take allergies very seriously here. We don’t have a seperate GF menu because the majority can be made GF”.
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!
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.
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.
When it comes to good food, it doesn’t take much to influence me. I saw a post/rave yesterday about JoyFull Bites Cafe and I just knew it was going to be good. I quickly made my way over and ordered the weekly special, which happened to be tostadas. I swear I could eat a tostado a day and be a happy man. I only had a 10 minute drive home, but it seemed like it took forever. I called my wife and told her I was bringing lunch home. Within minutes of arriving home, we were already digging in.
The tostadas were absolutely perfect in every single way. The flavors were incredible, especially that jalapeño ranch. The tostada shell itself was still nice and crunchy, even after a 10 minute drive with all the ingredients stacked on top.
Those ingredients were:
•Grass fed taco meat
•Organic black beans
•Colby jack goat cheese
•Shredded romaine
•House made salsa fresca
•House made jalapeño ranch
•Avocado mash.
I can’t recommend this dish enough. They also had tons of delicious looking treats, although I resisted. It was hard, but I turned the other cheek lol.
If you haven’t stopped by yet, make your way over and find out how good their stuff really is. Everything is gluten free by the way!!!
Great GF breakfast/brunch spot. Pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, drinks!
They ask “preference” or “allergy”. Menu is not marked with GF but servers help walk through what is GF.
5 stars all across the board!! They offer not only gluten free fare but DELICIOUS GLUTEN FREE fare. My sister had the soy chorizo with eggs and could not get enough. I did not expect my tacos to be as delicious as they were. And even though we were a table of 13, the waitress did not make us feel unwanted or as if we were an inconvenience. All around the food, service and atmosphere were amazing. We will definitely be returning.

Our favorite donut shop! We drive 30+ minutes every few months to get a fix 🙃 The yeast donuts & sausage rolls are unmatched. They have tons of gluten free options, though I have not tried them. My only issue is I’ve yet to find the perfect latte, but they have tons of options, so I’ll keep trying 😊 We always get there at the perfect time with no wait, but when there is a wait, the line moves quickly. We also discovered they have some books and coloring sheets for the kids, which means we will probably be visiting more often now 😄
Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!
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!
An update photo should be added since their cafe moved to Main St. We had a very pleasant lunch with many items avail vegetarian and non veg. Gluten free options. I had the chickpea salad and it was exceptional. It's counter service and find a spot in their nostalgic dining space. One day, I'll try the cookies and ice cream counter.
Such a cute little bakery and shop! I got a lemon poppy seed muffin and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie! All their food is gluten free and tasted so good!! Highly recommend!
Gluten-free options! The one with yogurt for me was delicious (not too sweet). The mimosa was a little strong in order to feel the lavender flavor, but it was still good. The place is so beautiful and they have a very friendly staff.
Gluten Free for the win! I've missed Biscuits & Gravy for years now. It was amazing! I wish we lived here because this would be a regular spot for us all the time!
Snooze is my new go to for breakfast. So many options for gluten free (celiac). I’ve tried most of their pancakes all delicious not huge fan of the French toast (gf) it was dry to me.
The food is delicious and the portions are generous, with plenty of gluten-free options available. However, be prepared for a wait, as there's usually a line and parking can be quite difficult.
We arrived Saturday around noon and didn't have to wait. Food is always fabulous and the staff are friendly and attentive. They have lots of gluten free and vegan options. Love this place!
The coffee was very good. I loved the comfortable inside space; it was a good place to do my school work. I ordered the smores latte which was super good. They also have all gluten free foods.

What a wonderful hidden gem. The service is exceptional and the donuts were fresh and fantastic. The gluten free donuts taste freshly made and warm. This is a must visit donut shop!
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.

I am not usually a cake fanatic but I can binge eat the blueberry-rosemary cupcakes like no tomorrow!! Delicious and moist with no artificial fruit flavor 🫶🏼.
Excellent vegan and gluten free options as well!!! I want to cater my wedding cake from here (if that ever happens ha)!
Pro tip - try the in house made sparkling tea on tap!! Refreshing and not too sweet!
