A Guide For The Best Gluten-Free Eats In Austin

There are a number of reasons why one might avoid gluten, yet that doesn’t change the fact that it can often be challenging to find a decent restaurant that offers a gluten-free menu. Thankfully, Austin has a great selection of restaurants that do. Here’s a guide on where to go and what to get while navigating gluten-free eats in Austin.

Wild Wood Bakehouse

Restaurant, Gluten-free

If you’re searching for a 100% gluten-free restaurant look no further than Wild Wood Bakehouse. This great café provides gluten-free food you thought you’d never enjoy again. Try their fried chicken for dinner or stop by during their brunch hours for an all gluten free-buffet complete with mimosas and other delicious drinks included in the price. For brunch you can try their biscuits and gravy, then go back for seconds to try their waffles smothered in syrup.

Picnik

Cafe, Restaurant, Healthy

Picnik is truly a one-of-a-kind coffee shop, serving a Paleo-inspired menu, which means gluten-free, corn-free, peanut-free and soy-free. They serve healing broth, chocolate chip cookies made from coconut flour, and fresh juices for enhanced brain health. Their specialty, however, is their coffee. They make their coffee with unsalted, grass-fed Irish butter and add just a dash of coconut oil extract.

Snap Kitchen
