11/8/2020 Just came back from having cornmeal pancakes and side of black beans. Am having the worst heartburn and GI upset. Something wasn't gluten-free. It was very good to taste. Just not good for wheat/dairy allergy.

Their GF bread is actually normal sized! The GF bread up charge doesn’t sting quite as much when the bread isn’t the sad little mini bread slice most GF bread tends to be. Probably not a celiac friendly place, but if you’re gluten intolerant like me this is a good late night food choice and the staff is super helpful and accommodating.

I made the mistake of trying to find dinner in Austin after 10pm on a Sunday. Luckily Magnolia Cafe was open. Good gluten free menu. Lots of choices. Not the best food, but definitely a great late night option.

Not celiac friendly, but good food if you’re just omitting gluten from your diet and don’t have an intolerance.

Magnolia's gluten free menu clearly states that they are not prepared in a separate space and it is NOT SAFE for people with celiac. This restaurant should not be listed on this app.

When I mentioned I have celiac I was informed there are cross contamination risks b/c they use the same equipment. I appreciate their honesty. I had a simple meal of eggs, fruit, & beans with no effects.

Two words, fish tacos!! I'm a celiac and I did not get sick. They also bring out corn chips that are to die for.

This is my go to late night eats spot. They have an amazing range of gluten free foods including French toast and omelettes that aren't fluffed up with gluten filled batter. I only wish they offered gluten free hamburger buns!

A funky diner at one end of the super-hip SoCo strip. Great place for coffee and eggs, fine too for lunch and dinner.
