Beef Empanadas are amazing! Like a sweet corn dog with delicious shredded beef. Also loved the chicken Arepas with avocado and mayo and cilantro. Authentic Venezuelan food! Also love that most all is gluten free!

I spend an hour looking up local coffee shops that offer vegan and gluten free options! Dear Diary kept coming up, so I drove in the pouring rain from the other side of Austin to visit them and I’m so glad I did! Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and recommended the Golden Milk Latte with maple which Adel made and it is the best golden milk I’ve had in my entire life. I also ordered a taco and one of the cookies and I’m in literal coffee shop bliss. The atmosphere is so precious!! Highly recommend!

Delicious food! Tough to find parking nearby. It’s all either private or paid, so be prepared to park and walk a bit, or pay for a parking lot. We ordered online and only after getting there realized that what we had ordered for my wife wasn’t gluten free. They were so kind and remade her meal with a gluten free option at no extra charge. The food was great and we’ll definitely be coming back!
