Love this spot! Appreciate that it’s gluten free and lots of dairy free options You can stop in just for a beverage or sit down for a whole meal. It’s still not a coffeeshop vibe where you can park yourself with a laptop. Small selection of seating for those just getting beverages. Staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve taken friends here and they don’t usually like it as much as I do if they’re not gluten free already. So I would save this spot for your health nut friends. Great options for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Parking is pretty good here but fills up during peak times. The music was a little bit loud, too loud for my grandpa. Normal for Austin but not ideal for the elderly.

We had a wonderful breakfast here for our anniversary! When traveling, we are always looking for gluten free and dairy free for our allergies. Picnik exceeded our expectations with 100% gluten free and many dairy free options. We enjoyed the blueberry pancakes and the farmhouse breakfast with hot green teas!

The food here was so delicious. The creativity of the chef is apparent, as I would not have been able to come up with the flavor combinations of the "Forbidden Chicken and Black Rice" dish I had. I will definitely be returning to try some other great things next time I'm in the area. They are also known for being accommodating to food allergies and other restrictions. Their outdoor seating is covered, making it a great option.

YUMMY! Everything is gluten and sugar free and made from scratch. It’s delicious! And I’m not even gluten or sugar free! I had the Picnik Mule (also outstanding) and the grilled chicken bowl. I highly recommend it!

One of my favorite spots in Austin! Everything is gluten free and extremely delicious! I highly recommend the smashed potato nachos, the queso, the chicken tenders, the crispy chicken bowl, the hot honey sandwich, the Cobb salad, the list goes on. We’ve also come in for breakfast and LOVED the biscuits!

Brittany Murphy

The Eggs Benedict was amazing! The chicken sandwich was tasty, but the French toast part got a little soggy. The biscuits were good but a bit dry—luckily, the butter and jam helped. Definitely make a reservation! We waited a long time for a table, but the staff was super nice.

Really good food, decent price and atmosphere. Gluten free. The thoughtfully crafted gluten-free offerings, such as the French toast and well executed smashed potatoes, are a testament to the kitchen’s attention to detail. I really like the complimentary tap water scene they have on the patio
