Top 32 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in 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

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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,

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

Had a great breakfast. The crepes were amazing and delicious! So thankful for the gluten free options as well! Can’t wait to go back! So many things to try!!

Kaiya Emmert

I want to gatekeep this place because I love it so much! The owner and her team are so nice and helpful. My family has a small biz in Austin, so I am always excited to support local businesses. The food: I love the super bun sandwich for breakfast! I sub the pimento for avocado and it’s literally so delish. Their pastries and cookies are also so good. The salads and overnight oats are also really yummy and fresh. My celiac bf loves their gf cinnamon rolls. The coffee: I love their house made coconut syrup in my latte! The maple orchard is also super good for when you need 4 shots of espresso lol My family loves stopping by here all the time even though it’s usually a little out of our way! 10/10

Great home style cooking — even made us gluten free roti. Great customer service to go above and beyond. Coming back tomorrow again. Yummy cauliflower, panner saag, chickpeas & dosas. Owner and staff is great. Going back again tomorrow. Thank you.

Karina Kantas

Fast service from Kristen and Angel even on a busy Saturday morning. Yummy gluten free pancakes :)

Cristal C

Coffee with a cause. Amazing service. Don’t hesitate to try them out. Lots of gluten free options.

Ariana Sadre

I had a gluten-free turkey pastrami sandwich, which I didn’t even know as possible. The food were definitely isn’t as bright when you’re gluten-free so I really appreciated this experience. I was feeling extra so I got some sweet potato fries which were gluten-free as well. Overall chefs kiss. 💋 I definitely woke up like a balloon, but I presume that was due to the sodium content in my choice.

Julie Cross

This is a new brunch must for my husband and I! I recently became gluten free and had the BEST GF pancakes I’ve had yet. They also can make almost any menu item GF. My mother in law is also Vegan and said her pancakes were also incredible. The service was great. The vibe was awesome. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. Do yourself a favor and GET THE BACON 😋

Mayra Rivera

Drew is the best! He was so fast and knew everything about the menu to cater our meals according to our gluten and lactose restrictions. The restaurant is such a vibe too. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you’re going with a big group of friends.

I always pass by this place on the road but never actually went to eat here, that is until this morning. I had a wonderful experience here I had to use the restroom because there was no others nearby so I stopped here, The Man behind the counter was very friendly and let me use the restroom which I greatly appreciate because I really needed to go. After using the restroom I figured I checked out what was available to eat here, I was focused on looking for any food that was gluten free, (because I am gluten intolerant) it is hard to find places sell gluten-free food. So I was very surprised to find out that Russell's bakery had a pretty good amount of gluten-free baked goods! I was very impressed also with the taste of the food I absolutely love the pecan and banana muffins! Definitely some of the best tasting baked goods I have ever tasted in my opinion! The staff was very friendly and welcoming to me before and after I have me purchases. So I know they were very genuine. The Man behind the counter was the one that helped me the most I don't remember his name. I will be coming back again thank you for the wonderful experience! :)

Best gluten free options in town! Their baked goods are top tier! We come way too often to grab a good pastry. Best of all is the customer service!! So kind and so sweet everyone we go every single one of them!!

missba ahmed

I love their coffee and their gluten free banana bread

Monique Limon

Today was the 1st time I've tried Gluten-free Chow FUN noodles stir fry w/ Lemon Basil sauce was AMAZING! Service was fast, friendly and overall great! I'll definitely be back w/ my family! This pic doesn't serve justice- the serving size is HUGE and you will have "planned abundance " for next day's lunch.

Better than ice cream? Maybe. Definitely worth switching it up and trying this place if you haven’t! Mouthwateringly delicious 🤤 They have gluten free crusts and several filling options.

Eleanor Walker

Ray Marks

Gotta love a cozy diner with great food and friendly service. My typical order is the egg white vegetarian omelet with home fries and fruit, and a gluten free pancake (sometimes with chocolate chips to satisfy my sweet tooth). Phenomenal all around experience.

Katherine Jones

They had a wonderful selection of gluten-free and regular cupcakes available for purchase! The staff member helping me out was extremely kind, helpful, and informed about gluten-free options. Rise Coffee & Bakery is definitely my new go-to spot for desserts- both gluten-free and regular!

Shira Lyss-Loren

Really subpar food and service. Queso was quite good but the food was over cooked and they got things wrong a couple times. They have gluten free options but it SUCKED.

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.

The price of wings is outrageous. $12 for 6 wings and $24 for 12 wings. Wingstop does not charge that much and taste better. The wings here taste like they're rubber, chewy and reheated in the microwave. The coffee tasted horrible, and need more dairy-free and gluten-free options. The pizza on the other hand was GREAT, don't change that (the price could be a little cheaper though).
