Top 50 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Austin

Caleb Barlow

I ordered a custom cake for my 30th birthday party. Not only did the cake turn out exactly how I wanted, but I was SOO delicious! My cake was s’mores flavored, and honestly tasted to me like a snickerdoodle cookie which is great because that is my favorite kind of cookie! Everyone kept commenting on how good the cake was and they didn’t even know it was gluten free and vegan!! It can be so hard to find good tasting and allergen-friendly baked goods, but now Zucchini Kills will be my go to spot for any future cake needs! The bakery store front was a little tricky to find, it is tucked around the corner on the back side of Yarrow & Sage.

Saw this on Instagram. We were in a hurry and didn’t review the menu before we went. Not authentic Thai food. Ordered the Pad Ka Prow and had 95% green beans and maybe 2 tablespoons of ground meat. I get the overall healthy, gluten free nature but if you want real Thai then this is not it. I should have been clued in by the location.

I love Squee and really want them to stay open and thrive. As someone who’s gluten-free, this place has been a go-to for me for almost a year. However, I’ve noticed that the vibe feels different depending on who’s around. My boyfriend and I are pretty traditionally presenting and have often felt like we don’t get the same warm service that other customers (particularly queer folks) seem to get. I initially thought maybe the employee was having a bad day and blew it off but we’ve easily been here nearly 40+ times and it’s clear that they have an attitude with us and aren’t as friendly or kind because we present as cis & straight. I’m a strong ally and believe in inclusivity, and I just wish that everyone, no matter how they look, felt equally welcomed. I know that many queer people face this kind of treatment elsewhere, but the solution isn’t to treat others the same way—it’s about making sure everyone feels respected and valued. The donuts/icescream are amazing, and I’d love to see the experience be just as great for everyone. If I’m reading this all wrong, then I sincerely hope the management and employees focus on customer service and kindness because it would be highly concerning if this was my business with how consistent their poor attitudes are each week. I’ll continue to be a customer because I’m gluten-free and have limited options, but again this review is because I love OMG Squee’s donuts/icecream and I want them to attract more business. From everyone.

Best gluten free cupcakes with the friendliest staff.

I ordered a gluten free red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It was AMAZING. Our entire office loved it. Thank you so much Rachel!

Angelina Kunkel

Gluten free bakery that is genuinely actually delicious, moist and fresh. Cutest spot, very laid back and incredibly pleasantly surprised by how not “stuck up” it was.

It's such a delight to see vegetarian/vegan Eatery that serves everything like Mexican food, soup, salad, cakes, fresh salad. And coffee too! They have Gluten Free food items as well. The place is very clean and quiet. It's also very huge. I ordered Tamale, Chilaquiles, Fries and fresh Carrot/Apple/Ginger juice for dine-in. Very tasty. For To go, I ordered, Red velvet cup cake and pineapple/Carrot Muffin which i yet to taste. Moreso they open early at 8am. This is going to be my go to place in Austin.

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!

Mandy Russell

They have more than one option for gluten free. All the items I got were gluten free. I got a chocolate frosted donut, chocolate chip muffin, chocolate chip cookies (package of 2) and a white chocolate mocha frappe (with coffee). My total was $20.04 Everything in the case is clearly labeled. The lady at the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. Donut was cakey, but not too thick. It had chocolate icing. Muffin was so soft. Tasted buttery and not too sweet for being chocolate chip. I ate it the fastest out of the items. Cookies look like they were hard, but they were soft once you bit into them. Frappe was a good accompaniment to my breakfast.

Great cafe. Tasty gluten free snacks. Lots of fun gifts and home goods.

Fariah

Amazing shop with unique donuts and gluten free options as well! Nice staff and great ambiance ;)

Hailey Ellis

Went here last night as I just started a gluten free diet and have been sad I can’t eat many of my favorite sweets anymore! This place felt like my own personal heaven. The employee was so sweet and answered all my questions and the shop had a super cool, cozy atmosphere. I tried 2 of their seasonal cupcakes and they were some of the best I’ve EVER had! They have plenty of classic flavors but I took a gamble on some of their more unique cupcakes and was not disappointed. Whoever is coming up with their seasonal flavors is a creative genius. 12/10 will visit again when my sweet tooth strikes!

Jay Bryant

This is a really good bakery. I ordered a variety of items and have tried several (my favorite is the cowboy cookie). They took the time to check whether an item had corn syrup in it (I have a friend who is allergic to it, but I wanted to get something for her, too). The item (the passionfruit-cocunut dessert) is both gluten-free and corn-free. That's hard to find. On top of all that, the staff was friendly and efficient. I'll definitely be back. :) Update: I have now tried several things. They were all excellent. This really is a good shop. :)

Isabela Guillen

LOVED everything about Elizabeth st cafe!!!All the servers were very friendly, and kept checking in on us. The decor and atmosphere was immaculate especially with all the outdoor seating for a sunny day. And of course the food was all delicious. A good menu with a lot to choose from including banh mi and pho, but we went for summer rolls, fried rice rolls and grilled fish bun vermicelli bowl. They were all delicious! 10/10! A good majority of the menu was also gluten-free friendly.

Jordan Cooper

I cannot stress more about how amazing this place is. I wanted to surprise my husband with an alien themed cake because we watched that movie on my first date and when I reached out they were so excited to take the order. I didn’t really know what to expect but MY GOSH YALL!!! This cake was not only absolutely amazing, but was sooooo delicious. I’ve ordered from them before and they never disappoint. 11/10 recommend this place!! Since I have celiacs, they offered me a gluten free cupcake and y’all……best gluten free cake I’ve ever had.

Not reliable ordering ahead. While I love the idea of having a gluten free option, so I still gave 3 stars, I was super disappointed to have wasted an hour driving because they didn’t have my order (I ordered the day before). I tried to make the best of it by ordering something else, but what I ordered instead was pretty sub par tasting so I couldn’t finish it. Edit: since there seems to be confusion, I followed the instructions on the website by texting my order. Payment was not asked for during the process and I assumed that was normal. Photo is from their website.

Chez Zee is a reliable place for absolutely delicious food, impeccable service, and pleasant French Bistro style atmosphere. The kind of place to bring out of town guests or a date. We shared a Belair salad, a delightful combination of baby greens, blueberries and jicama for a little crunch, and also shared an order of pan-fried trout with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. We ended with the ultimate comfort food… a slice of Maida’s cake, delicate layers of gluten-free chocolate cake with generous whipped cream filling and light mocha frosting. The generous portions are enough for two meals and the quality is basically perfect. Our server was attentive and cheerfully split our plates, even though we arrived within an hour of closing time and sat outside by the fountain on the breezy patio.

Deborah Lira

I'm thrilled to be able to get gluten free cake! The chocolate cake is to die for ❤️. Normally it's just cupcakes that are available. I have nothing against cupcakes it's just nice to have a slice of cake. I will have to try the white cake next. Hands down the best chocolate chip cookie I have had. While the selection of gluten free is small it is delicious. I don't have to drive across town for this anymore. I have my slice of heaven just around the corner. The counter help is young and not extremely friendly. I've been twice and I don't believe I've ever seen any of them smile. They are helpful though.

Arlette

Only one employee obviously tired and in a bad mood because she was taking care of everything (Sunday 3/26/23). Very expensive! the gluten free cookie is terrible , the cupcake was good. Disappointed.

Emily Porter

Lots of baked goods that are pretty tasty and all dairy-free plant based. Gluten free options too. However I asked if something had nuts and they didn’t know, so not so great for people with other allergies!

Taren “Gigs” Hodges

I immediately fell in love with this cute little bakery!!! I had a soup and a slice of gluten free lemon poppyseed bread. I was blown away. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Can’t wait to go back.

Lindsey LaMarre

Amazing gluten free cinnamon roll!! Highly recommend

Sofia Castillo-Fuentes

Mozart's is the quintessential Austin experience. There is an eclectic live local music scene, a beautiful view of the lake with the opportunity to rent a padle boat and truly emerce yourself in the vibe . The food is relatively responsibility priced the expanadas are great so are the quiches especially the gluten free crustless potato leek . All the coffee teas and lemonades are delicious. Only down sides are the long slow lines, which only gives you more time to admire the dessert case and listen to the music and the bird poops. Beware the bird poop! Give yourself a couple of hours here to soak up the ambiance and sip your drink and the views.

I started going to their store just to check it out and food choices been liking their Mexican organic coffee decaf lots of gluten free choices probiotics and they also sell food their so today I tried their food bowl sadly their rice was under cooked and pastries not tasting fresh guess we should of gotten their earlier other than that still going back for their coffee.

Brentwood has decent options for folks on vegan or gluten free diets. I tried a vegan shepherd's pie that was delicious. They have some creative drink options like a water melon cucumber refresher. There is a playground outside and a special room inside for families with kids.

Yazmin Bautista

Love the flavors! They are delicious and have a variety of them, even some organic flavors as well as dairy free, gluten free, & vegan for those wondering. The toppings were like a flashback into my childhood obsessed! All the employees were kind and extremely friendly. I highly recommend to stop by and have a cup of delicious froyo!

Bianca Buentello

We had our wedding cake/cupcakes done by Sweet Treets almost 5 years ago and have used them for every special occasion since. They have wonderful GF options that even our non-gluten-free friends and family loved - which is hard to come by! For non-GF, would highly recommend the almond cake with vanilla buttermilk icing!

Amy Huyser

Immediately walking in the atmosphere was beautiful. The staff was kind and I was so excited to find Gluten Free bakery items. The baker herself was incredibly kind and made my day with her delicious celiac-friendly creations! Definitely worth the visit.

Natassia Wilde

Do not sleep on this place! Excellent food, friendly staff, great environment, incredible prices. Amazing hidden gem! Gluten free burger on plantains with pineapple??? Yes please. Don’t miss the empanadas either. 10/10

Virginia Barber

Cupprimo South made my daughter's 6 year-old cupcake/birthday cake and we all loved it! They were able to lay out the cupcakes into an adorable rainbow shape that looked great and tasted even better! It was so much easier passing out cupcakes to all the kids at her party instead of everyone waiting for a big cake to be cut. It looked festive and fun! I personally love Cupprimo's gluten free options too - they always have great new flavors to try!

Josh Burleson

Excellent pastries, friendly staff. The gluten free pecan muffin is so good. Definitely one of the best muffins I’ve had.

Ruth Harros

Ordered the night before for a 10am pickup. There was no wait and when I was worried they weren't the right ones the lady showed me the labels lol Super easy to order. They even had a gluten free option :) fast pickup. I will definitely be back.

Sophie Hard

The food was delicious and tea was lovely. It's hard to find a tea service that puts such love into making food for dietary restrictions and I really appreciated having a whole 3 tier tray with gluten free, dairy free, and cane sugar free items! (paleo). Service was great, and the shop was adorable. Highly recommend booking your party here.

Miranda DeAngelo

Absolutely amazing! This should be a must stop for everyone! We tried the turkish coffee which was delicious! The sipping chocolate was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted! So creamy and delectable!! The woman who owns the place is so incredibly sweet- she explained everything to us so we knew exactly what we were ordering! Don’t even get me started on the pastries! We tried the cinnamon roll and then had to go back for more. We also got the chocolate croissant and the Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread- everything was incredible! Do yourself a favor and give this place a try- I guarantee you won’t regret it! I know I’ll be going back! Incredible service, products, and atmosphere!

Lunar Perez

literally the best gluten free bread and pastries I’ve tried yet. They have baguettes of different kinds as well as vegan options. Can’t wait to try their pizza crusts. Haven’t stopped going back since I first tried this bread. Adding photos of delicious things I’ve made with this bread for proof and reference lol

Suzanne Walter

Everything amazingly delicious! Gluten free macarons are the best I've ever tasted. ❤️ New Austin favorite - I'll be back!

D'Angelo Harrison

Great place to stop in while shopping at the Domain. Had Gluten free blueberry lemon muffin. Sugar free vanilla iced latte with almond milk. Very good and not over powering.

Nathan Jang

This is one of my go-to places to WFH. With work days going on longer than I sometimes plan, every now and then you need a place with a variety of options that fulfills your needs depending on the time of day. Food/drinks: I'm a simple guy, so the pretzels are enough to satisfy my bread gluten cravings, but I will say their fries are fried (and seasoned) to perfection...you don't even need the ketchup, although it is always a plus for me. I also love that you can have coffee during the morning, and then when you've looked at your watch and realize it's dinner time, beer (and other cocktails are also available)! Service and atmosphere: The manager is so kind, and you can see his approach to service seeping into the other employees. They greet you upon entry without fail (HUGE in the service industry), and they don't do the bare minimum, but take those extra steps to make sure you feel welcome and cared for. If you're like me and go enough times, they'll start calling you by name which is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Also, who doesn't like smelling freshly baked bread filling the entire space? I haven't been to the other locaitons yet, but at this rate, I don't think I'll ever need to!

Such good treats (some gluten free, too!) and service! We will be back

First things first... The Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Loaf and the Banana Nut Muffin (Also GF) are amazing!! The only reason for giving -1 star for the food is because of the preservatives they have in the muffins and in the bread/other pastries. They go so fast that there is literally zero need for the preservatives they sell out quick! The service is always great though their consistency as far as hot chocolate needs to be a bit better I went in one morning and it tasted like they had just roasted cocoa beans straight from the source and not a day later at night it was like the worst kind of chocolate milk that was barely warm, but everyone is always super friendly, and you can tell that they use quality espresso when it comes to coffee. The atmosphere is really nice, they are like a few other cafe's/restaurants that have artwork available for sale that when you look at it you'll say, "That looks nice how much?" Only to then immediately walk away because it's a few thousand dollars. Under the artwork is a couch comfy area to sit but there is a lack of plugs you have to move the couches to get to the plugs behind them which kind of sucks but it is what it is. The two chairs they have aren't really that comfy so I'd go for one of the three couches if I were you. They do have pretty nice restrooms though, and a selection of beers on tap with a nice L-shaped bar. I will be adding photos of everything I can in the very near future unfortunately I don't have any good ones of the food because I eat it so fast lol. They have a nice area outside and there's actually a walking trail nearby behind in the back parking lot behind the buildings it's been a bit cold so I haven't walked it myself but when it warms up I will. Overall I'll be back for the muffins though I wish they would take out those preservatives, and the hot chocolate as I've given up coffee. Peace!! -DD

Cute little coffee shop where I got a delicious arepa (gluten free). Coffee was great as well.

Emily Scheinfeld

We loved our cake! And it was GLUTEN FREE! It was beautiful, delicious, and a wonderful centerpiece. I am so thankful to Quacks for working with me. They took pictures and ideas and created a beautiful piece of art!

Lucas Forsythe

Really great gluten free and allergy (egg) free options. You wouldn’t even know! Amazing bajen goods and presentation.

I stumbled onto this place randomly and really enjoyed my lunch. I got their charcuterie board and sweet potato fries. I'm gluten free but not celiac, and they do offer a gluten free tortilla style bread that you can swap for the bread in the charcuterie board. They were also kind enough to let me know that they have cross contamination so I wouldn't recommend this place for a celiac, but I enjoyed myself. The cheeses, meats and accouterments were so yummy and their sweet potato fries were on point! The place has great ambiance - very light and airy. The staff was also great, especially the bartender who was attentive and thoughtful. I'm only taking one star away because I purposefully chose pretty easy to assemble items but it took a while for me to get my food. Food was delicious though! The experience was a little pricy, but it'd be a great place to take out Mom for mother's Day or a girl's brunch!

Good coffee, nice ambiance (design, cleanliness, friendly people), & had some gluten free healthy snacks available.

Elena Trevino

I cannot express in words how great my experience with Daniela and Glace cakes was recently! I contacted Glace 3 days before a company event for a small cake and while I wanted a decorated/theme cake I wasn't about to get my hopes up since it was so late in the game to order. WELL - was I wrong!! Daniela was not only gracious in taking my order but the cake she designed after I explained what the celebration was for and sent here a few ideas, was A M A Z I N G!! If I can figure out how to post pictures to this review, I will so you can see for yourself!! : ) The cakes was not only beautiful but DELICIOUS!! She also made us a few cupcakes that were gluten free and some that had dairy free frosting! I have my new cake store!! Thank you for the great experience and for making our event extra special with your beautiful and delicious cake, Daniela!! P.S. And delivery was RIGHT ON TIME! : )

Minimum $8.50 for cheesecake. We were made to feel real awkward about ordering two separate types of cheesecake that ended up being newly pulled from the freezer. Ended up having to choose a different kind, which isn't fair to someone with gluten intolerance who already had only two choices to begin with. I wouldn't go back for anything other than a coffee.

Crystal Wiese

One of the best kept secrets in town! Food is always exceptional and they have lots of gluten free options.

The people at this place are so friendly. The first thing they do when you walk in and go up to the counter is hand you a free sample, which is amazing and it’s a full-size piece free sample. It’s not a little tiny bite. They have the famous Dubai chocolate and so many more sweets! I’ll come back! They do have one or two gluten free options.
