While Little Aussie is a little furthur away from Austin, it's definitely worth the trip if you're ever in San Antonio. They offer top-quality GF products! I have had their GF rolls that are supreme in taste and consistency. They have a 100% Gluten-Free establishment and offer items from cakes to pizza.Their bread is made from alternative flours like tapioca and rice and are very light and fluffy. Little Aussie has monthly special events and is a place you should definitely check out if you can!

Wild Wood is a great place to check out, located on the west side of Austin its 100% Gluten-Free and offers a wide selection from pastries like cupcakes to cookies and entrees like sandwiches and burgers made with an in-house special bread recipe. This place offers great food in a nice small sit-down atmosphere. You can call ahead to place an order or drop by to see what they have made daily. Prices aren't the cheapest, but you get good quality!

Mr. Natural has some very unique Gluten-Free items and entrees. My favorite is the GF bavarians they offer with coconut. They always have an assortment of Gluten-Free pastries made with tapioca, sorghum and other flours, but also entrees. They aren't 100% GF, but they do have many GF items for you to try that are very tastey! They have two locations in Austin.

If you haven't been to Sprouts yet, it's a great place for you to go grocery shopping. There are a couple locations around Austin and dozens around Texas. They are big on quality products and carry many organic and Gluten-Free items. What I like about Sprouts is that they make shopping super easy by placing specific labels in front of Gluten-Free products, making it extra-easy for you to do your GF shopping. They carry many GF flours and have a larger selection of GF products than regular grocery chains. They also have seasonal events like their Gluten-Free weeks and special events. Check this place out!

Whole Foods is widely known for having been founded in Austin. They are a great for having high-quality, natural, organic food items. They have so many items and a very large selection that can sometimes be overwhelming. But, Whole Foods does offer many, many special classes and tutorials for shoppers, like Gluten-Free cooking classes and tours of the store. I suggest you look those up online and visit to get the most out of your shopping experience. They offer a great Gluten-Free selection and have so many things for you to choose from, check them out! They have multiple Texas and Austin locations.
Hyde Park Bar & Grill

Great sit-down restaurant at a fairly affordable price. This place doesn't offer soley Gluten-Free items, but it does color-code and specify which items on the menu are GF, which is great for those looking to avoid any contamination of wheat used in the foods. Although there are many GF items in their selection like corn tamales and omeletes, the selection isn't terribly wide or varied, but you will have some options if you chose to check this place out. The restaurant is always packed with hungry customers and usually offers specials throughout the week.

Gluten Free Kneads / Smart Flour Foods
1 review
2613 Buell Ave # A
Austin, TX 78757-7629

I have tried out their products before which are often carried in other locations and stores, like Gatti's in the Hancock Center, which carried their GF brownies. The brownie I had from Gluten Free Kneads was made of a tapioca flour and was very delicious and soft. It will cost you a little extra than regular, but their items are good-quality!
University of Texas at Austin, Jester Cir, Austin, TX 78712
Dining Hall website
Jester City Limits, located within Jester Dormitory at the University of Texas - Austin campus, offers students a cafe with Gluten-Free items. It's a great place for GF students to create-their-own sandwiches and pits made on GF breads.
1000 E 41st Street, Suite 200, Austin TX 78751
(512) 459-6141
This Gatti's location offers Gluten-Free pizza crust. It's one of the newer, modern-style locations that offers a sit-down atmosphere. Customers are warned that there is a chance of cross-contamination, but servers take extra care when anyone orders their GF crust to avoid that, which I appreciate. The GF crust is made by Gluten Free Kneads, which also makes brownies for them, which are very delicious. I very much enjoyed my pizza and suggest it for those times you want to get some quality GF food at a fast-food style place.
