Whole Foods

This Whole Foods has a good variety of GF pantry staples-crackers, flours, breads, cookies, even gf pie crusts a few days before Thanksgiving. Staff were very helpful finding items.

Huge store offering a variety of different gluten-free cereals and flour. Without oats and with gluten-free oats. I think celiacs find there a lot to have something to choose for breakfast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I talked to a chef making taco items who was very rude and unwilling to discuss options with me. He told me that nothing in the made to order, pre-packaged, salad bar area was considered gluten free and said it as if it was absurd for me to not know that.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve never seen a Whole Foods this huge! Not so many gluten free fresh options but a must see in Austin! 😊

Of Course, I still have to do the research, but they have so much available for special diets. Over the years they have expanded their gluten free selection. I have been very impressed with their set up.

Not concerned with cross contamination (for the prices they should already be set up), and not many GF options that you couldn't find at your local grocer for half the price, however they have some safe packaged items.

The food bar is no longer safe from risk of cross-contamination. The ingredient lists are not always correct. I don’t shop here anymore because the prices for gluten-free staples are so high. I do better on Vitacost.com for staples. I’m fortunate to have a Natural Grocers nearby for fresh food options in the winter when the farmers markets are closed.

The coffee shop in here was able to make me a gf iced vanilla oatmilk latte. They verified the vanilla syrup said gluten free and they use oatly oatmilk. Since I got iced, everything was made in my cup so to not be contaminated with anything. Wonderful treat for me! Also the store has many gluten free products and selection.

Good hot food and nice salad bar. They don’t mark ingredients and highlight allergens. We eat here all the time.
