This is my favorite restaurant! They have a discounted HH everyday (even on weekends) and has great mocktails. They have a staff is great and knowledgeable, everything is gluten free! They have a fried chicken strips are my favorite, along with the cashew queso & the Brussels.

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.

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.

Stephanie Eaton

Best gluten free cupcakes with the friendliest staff.

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.

What an amazing experience to eat at the Original Kerbey Lane. We walked in and where immediately greeted and seated. James was our server whom educated that this is the original Kerbey Lane that opened in 1980! Love his hospitality! The inside is so clean and has the most amazing art décor hanging all over the walls. The menu and food is what you would expect for Vegan Gluten Free options. I ordered: Vegan Breakfast Platter (VG) Two Dr. Praeger’s veggie patties & tofu scramble topped with green onions & fresh diced tomatoes. Served with two half size vegan vanilla swirl pancakes. Cost $12.99 I started with the Tofu scramble and veggie patties they both were full of flavors. My pallet was extremely happy with the texture to the tofu scramble. The veggie patties to me where a bit too soft and could have been cooked a bit longer so the inside was not mushy. The two Vegan Gluten Free Vanilla Swirl Pancakes are the BEST and I mean the BEST pancakes I have ever eaten. They were fluffy moist and full of flavor. If you were not aware these are vegan and gluten free and wow I am honestly speechless at the texture the taste the way the cinnamon vanilla swirl enhanced the pancakes in a way that they were extremely sweet. To a point I had to take them home to finish. What an amazing tasting dish!!! My friend ordered: French Toast Platter* (V) Two slices of French toast, two eggs any style & choice of all natural bacon, sausage or seasonal fresh fruit. $12.29 They advised that the French toast was cooked to perfection full fluffy and not egg tasting. They ordered over easy eggs which where cooked perfectly. The seasonal fruit however was not good. The honeydew and cantaloupe were not ripe and the strawberry's felt rubbery to a point I spat the strawberry out as soon as I took a bite of it. We both tried the fruit to ensure that they were definitely not ripe, and that the texture was off. The cleanliness is off the charts as well as the service. Overall this was an amazing experience and the food overall was exceptional minus the fruit!

One of the best breakfests I've ever had! Got the lemon poppyseed French toast special and it was delicious. Absolutely perfect and decadent. Made with a lemon poppy seed poundcake or bread and a delicious glaze. Got it as the "Lemon Poppy Paris Texas Platter" which also came with migas, which they recommended with queso as the sauce, also super rich and decadent so I maybe would've got it with a different sauce but super delicious nonethless. They have a really wide menu with a lot of variety from savory to sweet and some vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. Got an iced orange mocha with oat milk, super great drink. The staff were all very kind and helpful and made the experience really pleasant. Great value for the quality and amount of food you get. A really enjoyable and tasty meal!

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.

Anna K

I love this place for our family for brunch because they have delicious healthy options for me and classic diner options for my kids. It's a win-win. There's an entire gluten free menu, lots of vegetarian options, and delicious buddha bowls. They also have beer on tap and an espresso machine. I like the atmosphere - it's like a diner but feels more Austin. They're also great for take out and kids.

Deuces Wyld

Delicious food. Tons of gluten-free options. The chicken sausage is delicious! Friendly staff!

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.

Fariah

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

Renee Botelho

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

Lawrence Powell

Love Kerbey Lane, but this one at around 8 pm was not good. I had gluten free pancakes which were very dry like they had been sitting around for a while and warmed up. My friend ordered a salad and the brought out the wrong one. Very disappointing.

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.

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!

Lisa K

This was a decent breakfast place. They had gluten free options but the gf menu was dairy heavy so choices are limited if you have dietary restrictions. Portions are huge! And it’s a nice hearty southern comfort food spot.

Kathryn Thurman

Always able to find something Gluten free at Snooze. Servers are knowledgeable about allergies and gluten free

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.

Caleb Barlow

This is a tried and true south Austin staple with reliably good food and friendly staff to match. I love that they have a whole separate gluten free menu with plenty of options!

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.

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

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.

Tejasbir Singh

Great place, friendly staff and almost all crepes have a gluten free batter option…which is surprisingly good! I found it beautiful that the whole staff was speech impaired who were extremely sweet and attentive. 100% will come back here and support them!

M A

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.

Hannah H.

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.

Angel at Another Broken Egg Cafe in Austin truly exemplified the warm hospitality and exceptional service that the city is known for. During our recent visit with family from San Antonio, Angel went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience that showcased the best of Austin's brunch scene. From the moment we stepped into the cafe, Angel greeted us with a genuine smile and a friendly demeanor that immediately put us at ease. He quickly sensed that we had out-of-town guests and took it upon himself to give us a thorough rundown of the menu, highlighting both local favorites and unique dishes that set Another Broken Egg apart from other brunch spots. Angel's knowledge of the menu was impressive. He expertly guided us through the extensive offerings, from the chef-inspired breakfast dishes to the hand-crafted cocktails. When my aunt mentioned her gluten sensitivity, Angel was quick to point out the gluten-friendly options and even suggested modifications to other dishes to accommodate her dietary needs. His attentiveness to detail and willingness to customize our orders demonstrated his commitment to ensuring every guest's satisfaction. What truly stood out was Angel's passion for showcasing Austin's culinary scene. He enthusiastically recommended the Crab Cake Benedict and the Shrimp N' Grits, explaining that these dishes perfectly blended Southern comfort food with a unique Austin twist. His descriptions were so vivid that we could almost taste the dishes before they arrived at our table. Angel's expertise extended beyond the food menu. When my brother-in-law expressed interest in trying a local brew, Angel suggested pairing our meals with some of Austin's finest craft beers. He even offered a brief history of the local brewing scene, adding an educational element to our dining experience that our San Antonio relatives particularly enjoyed. Throughout our meal, Angel maintained the perfect balance of attentiveness and discretion. He seemed to anticipate our needs, refilling drinks and checking on our satisfaction at just the right moments without being intrusive. His timing was impeccable, allowing us to enjoy our family conversation while ensuring we had everything we needed. As we finished our meal, Angel took the time to recommend some local attractions and hidden gems that our San Antonio family could explore during their visit. His insider tips on the best parks, live music venues, and art galleries showcased his pride in Austin and his desire to share the city's unique culture with visitors. Angel's exceptional service didn't go unnoticed by other diners either. We observed him providing the same level of attentive, personalized service to every table in his section, consistently maintaining a friendly and professional demeanor. Thanks to Angel's outstanding service and extensive knowledge, our family from San Antonio left Another Broken Egg Cafe with full stomachs and a newfound appreciation for Austin's hospitality. His genuine enthusiasm for both the restaurant and the city made our brunch more than just a meal – it was a true Austin experience. Angel's performance exemplifies the high standard of service that Another Broken Egg Cafe strives to provide. His ability to create a welcoming atmosphere, share his expertise, and go the extra mile for guests makes him an invaluable asset to the restaurant and a shining example of Austin's renowned hospitality.

Was craving a Reuben. Did not disappoint! Best Reuben of my life! And gluten-free :) pricey, but I’d buy it again as a splurge

victoria hughes

Food was delicious and got us right away! Gluten free friendly 🩷

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.

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.

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.

Empress Sabrina

All Kerbey Lanes are AMAZING! I've been going to Kerbey for years! They have delicious gluten free pancakes and alternative choices. The best part about this location is that it seems to be a hidden gem. The wait time is always lower than the other branches (I suppose I shouldn't be posting this- so I hope you live closer to the other Kerbeys).

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.

Alison Gaxiola

Really lovely cafe! Staff was very nice, genuine smiles all around! My bottomless coffee and gluten free lemon poppyseed bread hit the spot. There was even a little lamp at my table that made the sewing project I was working on much easier.

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.

Erin Gates

Perfect!! Gluten free beers for All

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.

ArchB (ArchB)

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).

Lindsey LaMarre

Amazing gluten free cinnamon roll!! Highly recommend

Kim S

The food is a typical crepe. They do offer a gluten free option. It is first come first serve seating. The place fills up during busy times. Today, the service was slow. It took about 23 minutes to get our food

C Steel

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.

Ki & Tye (BlackGirlsBlackWorld)

Mousse bar would be a more appropriate name. That said, I ordered a cheesecake topped with sole cobbler and a snickerdoodle mousse affogato. Both were enjoyable though sweet. They offer gluten free options, mousse, cheesecake, coffee and tea. The interior is SUPER cute and they have a shelf of games next to the fireplace.

L Cortez

Sourdough pizza crust? My gluten sensitivity thanks you, and my taste buds are even more delighted.

ariana filippelli

Great menu that also has gluten free options. Support veterans. This is a great business to support! And the coffee is unique and delicious

C.A.M.

Tasty crepes and coffee. Kind owner and staff. Very attentive about gluten sensitivity

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
