Yummy Gluten Free cake ordered for My mom's birthday. It was rich and delicious. Great ordering experience and service. Very friendly and convenient. My mom now wants to use Akki's for her own orders!

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.

We enjoy their gluten friendly treats! The cupcakes are so yummy. My only suggestion is to use less frosting. But the taste is phenomenal.

This bakery makes me so happy. I can eat everything on their menu, and I always stock up on bread when I can swing by. (Best tasting gluten free bread I've found locally.) Always excited to try their rotating aura cupcakes for a nice twist, but my favs are the strawberry abyss and their swiss rolls. We've ordered a cake from them, and they did a wonderful job. (We'll likely order again.) Go stuff your face and smash the pastriarchy in one fell swoop. You won't regret it.

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!!!

Kate London

This is a beautiful little cafe, full of laughter and a comfortable atmosphere. The pastries I've tried so far were beyond my expectations and the coffee was well made. Absolutely worth the visit whether you're gluten free or not!

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!

Awesome local Gluten Free and Vegan treats!

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!

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.

Matt Nguyen

The staff is amazing here! It was our first time with our newly adopted pup and they were very welcoming and accommodating. We had the match latte which was the best one I’ve had and the hot chicken sandwich that was freakin amazing and gluten free! We’ll definitely eat here again the next time we’re in Houston.

Sushi !!

I’m glad that I found a complete gluten free bakery. Loved their cupcakes and I had ordered a sandwich it tasted good but the bread was frozen.

Heather IO

These cookies are amazing. Not amazing "for gluten free", just overall all awesome. I tried them at the farmers market and was so excited to see them on Doordash so I can order for my office. There are never leftovers.

Lisa Singh

Love this bakery! Stopped by on a recent visit to Houston. The red lentil salad is delicious, so are the gluten free breads like the multigrain seeded.

julie hamsa

My daughter has celiac and we are always looking for decent basic bread options. We were both very happy with the rolls and white bread from Pie Jacked! Nice texture and much better than the store bought breads. Definitely recommend stopping in for some breads to go The location is small, and the staff was not very friendly, but the food is good.

Tanja H.

Very nice and friendly place. A paradise for celiacs! My daughter had a chocolate donut and she loved it

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.

Katherine Green

Found out our son has celiac. Reverie has been a complete changer in making sure he can still be included with their gluten free items.

Emily T

Long time customer and almost everything is amazing. Worth the trip.

Jaime Sansom

Really cool place in downtown Tomball. We went there because my neutered heard there were gluten free options, and she wasn't misinformed! Tons of pastries, desserts and sandwiches that I could actually eat. Highly recommend.

Piper Sullivan

Loved that everything is gluten free. Only place that I have found that is.

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

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!

Elena Levy

My wedding cake from Unrefined Bakery was a huge success! Their team was helpful from the get go helping me design a wedding cake, taking into consideration my budget and guest count. The cake tasting was incredibly helpful, and we ultimately went with a strawberry vanilla 2-tier cake. They even provided me extra icing in case the cake got bumped in transit (which it did!) and I needed to patch it up. We ended up only having a few pieces left because all of our guests loved the cake. Would highly recommend for anyone gluten-free or not!

⚠️ BEWARE IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE ⚠️ If you have celiac disease or a serious gluten allergy, please be extremely cautious eating here. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, my medical needs were completely disregarded. I clearly stated that I needed a gluten-free kolache, but I was still served one made with wheat. When I returned to let them know, the woman who took my order showed no sympathy, offered no apology, and made no effort to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation. This kind of negligence could lead to serious health consequences, and it’s unacceptable for staff to be so careless and dismissive when it comes to dietary restrictions that involve medical conditions. Despite the horrible service, I will say the cupcakes were actually very good. But unfortunately, that alone isn’t enough to make up for the risk they put my health in.

Lesa Walker

Yummy sweet treats. Several gluten free options have always been fresh and available whenever I stop in, unlike most local bakeries that may have 1 item in a freezer. I have to pace myself on sweets or I'd be here every day!

Robert Drozd

Great boutique bakery with nice selection of Gluten Free options. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.

Jenna

As someone with celiac disease, finding safe and delicious gluten-free options can be a challenge, but Pondicheri absolutely delivers! Their menu has so many naturally gluten-free dishes, and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. It’s such a relief to enjoy incredible Indian-inspired food without worrying about cross-contamination. Everything I’ve tried has been packed with flavor, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special night out. If you’re gluten-free (or just love amazing food), this place is a must-visit! You can also follow my journey navigating gluten-free life with EoE over at @glutenfreewitheoe on Instagram for more great finds!

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.

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!!!

100% Recommended! Best gluten free/ vegan bakery, the cake also cupcakes are moist and full of flavor. Delicious! I can’t wait to try more of your menu. Thank you Cintya!

Emma Wigdahl

A safe haven for those with celiac disease! Great cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, and other sweets, but I especially love the sandwich combos and PIE.

Emily Graves

Quick, reliable, and safe spot for celiacs. My go to when I'm in the city.

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!

Logan R.

Bought a gluten-free cake. It was beautiful and well-made. Unfortunately the first bite and those that followed did not match the appeal. It was bland and incredibly dry. Needed ice cream just to get it down. Most of their other pastries looked awesome. Would love to give this place another shot but not when it comes to gluten-free cakes.

Sinde Mcclung

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.

Shannon Bedinger

My favorite gluten free bake shop around! Love everything - can’t say enough positive things.

Tamra Peet

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!

Rebecca Alexander

Been going here for years, it's my favorite brunch spot. Good coffee, great food. Best gluten free pastries around! I am Celiac and they always take good care to not get me sick, they even have a toothpick that says "gluten free" to flag my food so I know for sure. The Micah is my favorite sandwich.

Marcus LaBrie

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!

Shawnassy Aranda

Absolutely wonderful place for gluten-free (GF), vegan, and soy-free pastries, cookies, and sweet bread (mainly cupcakes. They also have a variety of music, stickers, stones, clothing, and other merchandise available plus non-merch clothing. Huge bonus that the plastic that things are individually wrapped in are all compostable as they are made from plant-based renewable resources. As of early May 2025 Google maps does not take you to the restaurant or even a good place to park for it- it takes you closer to Tweedy's bar parking. The parking behind Out of the Closet thrift store, across the street from Antone's records, is better parking and a much less complicated walk to the entrance. It does look sketchy, but at no time did I feel unsafe (I went around 5-6).

Erica Hellrung

I was so excited when this bakery opened in Frisco- having two celiacs and a wheat allergy in our home, we’re always looking for safe and trustworthy options. I hadn’t even tried the food yet but felt confident after reading so many positive reviews. I reached out through the website to inquire about custom cupcakes for two birthday parties, but never received a response. I followed up via email, and by then it was too late for the first party due to the delay. We moved forward with cupcakes for the second party and finalized all the details - only for the owner to cancel after everything was confirmed. It’s incredibly disappointing. Businesses like this are rare, and I had really hoped this would be a great resource for our allergy community. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been my experience.

Peyton Cavnar

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!

B R

Quaint coffee shop with many gluten-free options and a few dairy free options, too.

Julia C

I purchased a gluten-free cookie that was dried out a flavorless, and a gluten-free lemon cake that was very dense. Highly disappointed because this place was recommended for their amazing gluten-free desserts. Considering the price that I paid, I expected higher quality baked goods.

Melissa Pennington

Came in today and got a gluten-free blueberry muffin went to take a bite of it and it is so hard I couldn’t hardly bite into it. Ash in the trash Very disappointed

April Willis

The best Gluten free donuts I've ever eaten. Plus the Vegan is amazing. They have wonderful savory options and amazing donuts! The coffee, ambiance, service and food are all amazing!

Audra Andrew

I was excited to return here after not having been for awhile. I have celiac disease and am always grateful for allergen friendly places. However, the server seemed sarcastic, like I couldn’t quite tell if she was annoyed or joking. The food was also ridiculously priced. I paid $18 for my son to have a lil burger.. over the top for the amount of food. When we were ordering, she asked what another member of of my party would like. So this guest starts to order and all of a sudden she’s flustered. Oh I didn’t finish the first order. I can read and take orders at the same time. Ok but you asked someone to start ordering. How do they know you are wanting them to slow down unless you say it politely. I wish I’d say I’d bring my family here again as I think the food and purpose is great. But I can’t. Too expensive and servers (at least this one) act sarcastic with customers. Too bad. I won’t be back.

Stephanie Olden

I wish I had more thumbs so I could tell you how much I love this place! Everything I’ve tried here has been wonderful. I’ve even shared with waitstaff when out celebrating. They’ve always been floored to find out it’s GF *AND* DF. I have recommended Chelsea’s little sweet shop so many times.
