Christina’s Favorite Celiac-Friendly Austin Spots

Hi! I’m Christina and I recently moved to Austin from Brooklyn and I’m excited to show off some of my favorite spots in my new home in Austin, Texas! I have found many safe places to eat in the area while managing celiac. One of my favorite places to eat is Nixta Taqueria where I got duck carnitas and for sweet treat, check out OMG Squee and I’d recommend their classic taiyaki sundae. See my 247 reviews and follow me on the Spokin app @gflivingbk and on Instagram @glutenfreelivingbk!

Gati Ice Cream

“Gati Ice cream is 100% gluten-free! The shop has bakery items as well as their unique flavors of ice cream. The ice cream is coconut based and they even have gluten-free waffle cones! So amazing. A must stop if you are visiting Austin. There were some fun murals in the area as well.”

Thai Fresh

“Thai Fresh is a great spot for gluten-free. They have a clearly labeled menu with items that are safe for celiac. They do have a shared frier so avoid anything fried. The restaurant is connected to Gati Ice cream which is 100% gluten-free so they are mindful of preparing gluten-free. Thai Fresh even has a case of 100% gluten-free bakery items.”

“Nomade is a must visit when you are in Austin! Their food is 100% gluten-free and seed oil-free. The cuisine is Yucatecan with Lebanese, Spanish, and African flavors. A fun vibe, you feel like you are out of the city. And definitely get the churros in the end! Soft and the sauces were delicious.”

Nixta Taqueria

Nixta Taqueria

“If you’re visiting Austin, Nixta Taqueria is an absolute must.
This neighborhood taco spot sits right near a beautiful greenbelt walking path—perfect for grabbing a meal and then heading out for a stroll. Even better, the taqueria is 100% gluten-free.

From time to time, the menu may feature a flour tortilla option, but everything is clearly labeled and the kitchen takes gluten-free precautions seriously—so you can feel confident dining here.
Creative tacos, homemade masa, thoughtful sourcing, and a laid-back Austin vibe.”

So many gluten-free options — most of their signature bowls and build-your-own bowls are gluten-free. They have fully customizable bowls (perfect for dietary needs!) Fresh fish, vibrant veggies, and tons of toppings.”

“Hopdoddy is a nice option if you are looking for a quick bite in Austin. The restaurant has a separate gluten-free menu. Their burgers are able to be made with gluten-free buns or a lettuce wrap. Their fries are fried in a dedicated frier! I got their truffle fries and a classic burger!”
