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.

Do not pass up a visit to this place!! We had the most delicious crepes brunch here. My (gluten free) boyfriend had the gf turkey pesto savory crepe, and I the croque madame crepe and they were both perfection!! Tons of flavor and high quality, fresh ingredients. I also had their delicious peach tea and my boyfriend enjoyed his americano. This is definitely a gem of Austin (the kind chef, original art deco lobby, outdoor seating availability and the fact they also serve cocktails was a bonus!).

Whitefish tacos with grilled zucchini and street corn was excellent. Quesadillas filled with big chunks of Chicken. Queso deluxe was heavenly (much like Torchys). Server was knowledgeable and helpful with the gluten free options on menu and was very friendly and helpful in general. Cool , leveled outdoor seating.
