Excellent atmosphere for brunch. Large number of gf items, though some aren’t truly gf since they use a shared fryer. The waitress was very helpful and explained all this. The food was delicious, though a tad pricey.

Loved the food and I was able to find gluten free options. However, there is no gf menu. I had to check yelp photos, as some sides were included, but weren’t listed on menu. I also asked for confirmation from server and she was happy to answer my questions.

I’ve eaten here many times with no reaction! The food is delicious, and the vast majority of the menu is GF (it’s basically everything except their banh mis, which makes sense). Food is delicious and all of my servers have always been super knowledgeable about what’s in all the dishes!

The staff told me ingredients in the meals when I questioned if there was specific gluten ingredients here and she was very kind about them. Most items on the menu are naturally GF, containing rice noodles instead of wheat, but they are not marked GF on the menu. I did not get sick from here but definitely ask questions.

Unfortunately I think this place is usually gluten free friendly based on other reviews, but that was not my experience today. They don’t have a gluten free menu and our waitress was very unaccommodating. She appeared annoyed when I asked a few simple questions about the menu. I was not confident that the meal I ate was safe, so we will see if I feel sick as the day goes on.

They have so many gf options, and the pho is amazing! Also a lot of gf desserts. I’ve been here a few times and all the staff I’ve encountered was so knowledgeable about what contains gluten.

The food is sooo good. I got one of the specials and my boyfriend got pho. I cleaned my plate and he was drinking the broth. Our waiter knew about gluten free fun and I still feel good the next morning so no cross contamination. Elizabeth Street Cafe is now on our list of go to eateries.

I absolutely love this spot - one of my favorites in Austin! Everything is delicious and the staff is very friendly and knowledgable about gluten-free options (of which there are many!) I highly recommend the crepe, but I've never had a bad meal there. It atmosphere is fun, and the food is outstanding. It's not just "good for gluten-free food." It's outstanding regardless of your dietary restrictions (or lack thereof).

Delicious! They have fried and unfried egg rolls. Almost anything can be made GF. Just ask your server.

Beautiful area, very fun location.

Also- Very Celiac Friendly. Answered all of my questions like they had studied.

The food and the atmosphere are fantastic! Some of the best food I've eaten. It is pretty pricey though. Definitely not a single "$" as Find Me GF suggests. At least a "$$" as it's about $15 a plate depending on what you get.

Lots of GF options. Amazing spring rolls-they just changed ingredients in the peanut sauce, so it's no longer GF as its made with soy sauce...warning!! Was disappointed, cause it was yummy. Keep asking for it to be GF again, though. Maybe they'll bring it back due to popular demand! Addendum 5/31/13: peanut sauce is again GF!!! Highly reco all the spring rolls.
