A celiacs dream comes true! Austin has so many charms including The Well… Enjoyed the wellness shots, mushroom, chix and hangar beef tacos. Mushroom and chicken were the best tbh. Plus we had their gnarly Chilaquiles! Plus the server was next level nice. Sooo good and always completely gluten free safe the way it should be. Zero risk. F-yeaaah!

I was so excited to find multiple dedicated GF restaurants in Austin, and this was on my shortlist! We had hoped to have brunch, but arrived in town on a Monday (they only have brunch Sat/Sun). They still had chilaquiles on their regular menu, which was what I was hoping to order. They were a largely vegetarian variation on the dish (plus two eggs), and really tasty! It was nice to have an entire menu to choose from for a change!

This restaurant was on the nicer end. We went for Valentine's Day and they had a set 3 course meal offering but we just ordered off the menu. The cocktails are GF as is the whole food menu but we did notice there's a bottle/canned beer that is not Celiac safe as it is only "gluten reduced" so beware of that. The food was delicious and unique.

Top notch all the way through. Great selection of GF beer, though the one I most wanted was out of stock. Appropriate sized portions. Definitely excited to go back.

I loved this place! It’s so nice to be able to walk into a restaurant and not have to worry about cross contamination. It’s like a dream! The ceviche was out of this world (would come back just for two orders of it to myself!), as was the guac. My fiancé who usually hates avocado even loved it. I had the steak tacos which were delicious. My body felt so good and nourished after eating. Staff was lovely, as was the interior design.

Limited to brunch menu which I had to order to go. The Cesar salad and bfast potatoes was good. The guan with chips (tortilla and I think cassava) were very good. Smoothies was very good too, but not for those looking for a sweet smoothie. Definitely healthy food. The lentil vegan chorizo was excellent. The restraint itself is beautiful.

An incredible experience and meal. The food is health focused without sacrificing taste. Even my barbecue craving friends who eat standard diets loved this place. The best perk was that the entire cocktail and drinks menu was gluten free! That’s rare! It’s all a little pricey, but it’s worth a splurge. You will not be disappointed.

This was a great find. Everyone in the party ( most just humoring the one person who NEEDS the gf diet) was super impressed and raved about the food. I had the butternut squash as the main entree. It was different, yet delicious. Guacamole as a starter, very good. Everyone got something different—one said the tacos on cassava tortillas were some of the best he has had.

I really liked this restaurant, it’s decorated beautifully and the staff is very helpful. We got the guacamole which was different than normal guac because of the strawberries on top but still delicious. I had the steak tacos which were good but also pretty spicy (I have no spice tolerance). We also tried the butternut squash and that was amazing. I hope to go back for their brunch soon!

The ambiance and overall aesthetics of the place were great but the food was majorly lacking. The chia tea latte tasted like plain steamed milk with cinnamon on top. The vegan Cesar wasn’t awful but I got a side of chicken to add to it was literally the most bland chicken I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even eat it. The other 3 people with me got the steak tacos and were very underwhelmed. The only thing that was decent was the guacamole. After we left, we walked straight over to True Foods and ate a delicious meal there. Disappointed we wasted money on food that wasn’t even mildly enjoyable. I’m sad to say we won’t be going back even though it’s a fully GF restaurant and I have celiac.

We went here twice while in town, mostly for breakfast and lunch. Very good food and attentive staff all within a completely safe environment. Since it's oriented towards wellness, I can see where some people might think that some items are bland, but that was never my experience. My wife had a bone broth soup that was outstanding.

The kitchen is entirely gluten-free, so there is zero risk of cross-contamination. The B.A.E. toast is my favorite -- the gluten-free sourdough toast is made fresh, in-house, from scratch. Service is wonderful.

100% GF restaurant. Super allergy conscious (beyond just gluten). We had the breakfast tacos and the food was great. The homemade shells and sauces were amazing and the best part. Great ambiance and good service. Dog friendly. Would come back here again when visiting Austin.
