    Cookie monster and blueberry coconut-based ice cream and a latte.
    Phillip M.

    A cute ice cream/bakery/cafe tucked behind a convenience store. The place specializes in making goods gluten-free, vegan, and other food allergy/intolerances. And one can also get regular milk in their latte as well. Having a minor lactose intolerance, I was looking forward to the ice cream and tasted a few before settling on the cookie monster and blueberry. For some reason, the more I ate the blueberry, the more I felt something was off with the flavor. However, both being coconut based was a godsend. Also, had a great latte! I would definitely visit again, if not to try more flavors like the Thai tea or the pandan.

    Favorite ice cream spot in Austin! Love that it's coconut milk based. Great for those avoiding dairy. The ice cream is always so smooth in texture and I love that they have lots of unique flavors. My favorite is are Cookie Monster, Thai tea, horchata black sesame rice

    I don't often go here, but I love their ice cream and they have the best dairy-free options in town! I love their flavors and how everything g isn't too sweet. The price point is a little higher than usual but I can justify it by good quality ice cream and unique flavors. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, always offer to try different flavors too! There are a few spots to sit at, but in my experience it's never too busy (maybe because I always go in the evening when I do).

    Woah, I had a dining experience at Launderette and the waitress said to check this place out after. I walked half a mile over to this cute spot with a friend and we ended up spending over $80 and I ain't even mad about it. First of all, even if you're not an ice cream fan (like me), TRY THE ICE CREAMS. I sampled a few and every single one was to live for. I ended up getting the oatmeal cream pie with chocolate chips on top. I was amazed at how many pints they had available to-go. It took everything out of my to not take any home. The cookie monster was incredible and all thai ice creams were delicious. They also have ice cream sandwiches to-go or to eat in store. The highlight, weirdly, was the Aztec Mocha. Perfectly poured, I had it hot and it blew me away. It had the most delicious notes of cinnamon and other spices. The design was perfect, I wish I didn't devour it and took a photo! My friend took over 12 pastries home and they all looked delicious. I asked her how they were and she said they didn't disappoint. As both of us are lactose intolerant, we were beyond satisfied. And this place treats their staff well by paying them a fair wage. Tips are optional as gratuity is already included in every purchase. This staff works their butts off and deserves every penny. Gati is my new favorite and I have actually added it to my All-Time Favorites list. I cannot wait to share this place with everyone I know and to visit again and again. Absolutely worth the hype!

    As the old adage goes, "Life's short...eat dessert first." Well, that is exactly what we did. My hubby and I have been doing the Daniel fast for a week. So we decided to have an ice cream treat made with coconut milk. Gati...for the save! Gati specializes in coconut milk-based ice cream with robust, globally inspired flavors. There is no dairy...fully a plant-based delight. All their ice creams are coconut milk-based. After a few samples, we decided on Mango Lime and Golden Milk. Both were delicious! We were milk-based ice cream neophytes. You might ask what is the difference between cow's milk and coconut milk ice cream. There was not a significant difference to me. The only notable difference is that coconut milk-based ice cream does not have an oily feel to its ice cream. It was nice treat. In fact, we will likely return even after our Daniel's fast. Gati is a small establishment with a small outdoor patio. Overall laid-back environment....

    I came back recently to try their new food menu! Not only do they have delicious vegan ice cream (made from coconut milk), they also have breakfast and lunch, with some dishes that are of SE Asian origin. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn they actually expanded from Thai Fresh, one of my favorite Thai restaurants. I got the laksa noodles. After ordering, I was confused about the utensils because I could not find the forks, but they gave me chopsticks when they delivered the dish to me. Laksa was sooo good and had the perfect amount of spice for me. Staff is friendly and if you want to sample the ice cream, you may pick two. There is limited parking but coming for Saturday lunch, I was able to find a spot. It was the perfect weather to be seated outside but there are some flies. Also bought their Thai Basil ice cream to take home! Yum!

    Lavender caramel ice cream-- vegan and gluten free.

    A great selection of vegan ice creams!!! Great customer service and excellent selection of home made pastries, cookies, bars, and of course ice cream. You have the choice of sitting inside or outside in a nice little area with picnic tables and chairs. It's very clean and relaxing.

    Wow! So good! We came here after a jazz show and let's just say it didn't disappoint. I had the coconut ash and coffee. Very tasty smooth and didn't make to feel bloated. 10/10 Ice Cream

    During my stay near Holly Street in East Austin, I discovered Gati and wound up going there 4 or 5 times. It's a great little gem of a cafe that offers coffee drinks, other beverages, delicious food items, and even fantastic home made coconut milk ice cream. After a long walk in the late afternoon, i stopped in to try different ice cream flavors and there were all great - i guess i'm a traditionalist because I liked the mint chocolate chip the best, but the texas blueberry and texas peach were great, too. My guess is that any flavor you get a Gati will improve your life. I also tried the beet cocoa drink over ice and it was good, a bit gritty. On another morning, I got the shrimp & grits which was phenomenal, and the pan eggs with different kinds of sausage over egg white and with two hard boiled yolks. The breakfast salad was also good. Service was very personal. Gati has an outdoor area, counter area, and a room off to the right which I didn't know about until I was told about it and worked there for a few hours waiting for my next check-in time.

    I don't make it here as much as I would like because it's far from my house and the parking is t always easy. But the quality of the ice cream always makes it worth it!!! My cup had Strawberry and Horchata, and my wife had Pandan and Thai Mint.

    Latte

    I had a lovely experience at Gati in Austin! First off, parking was surprisingly easy. They have a small dedicated lot in front of the building (about 8 spots), and my friend and I both managed to snag a space. If the lot is full, there's free neighborhood parking nearby, which is a great backup option. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoors and were grateful for the AC -- a much-needed break from the Texas heat! When you walk in, the display case with all the ice creams and pastries immediately catches your eye (and makes it very hard to stick to just ordering coffee and food!). You order at the counter, get a number, and then your food is brought out to you. There are vegetarian options, which is always nice to see. I had a latte and the pan eggs. Both were tasty, with the pan eggs served alongside in-house-made sourdough bread, which was a nice touch. The bread is gluten-free. My friend got a flat white and the waffle with a side of bacon and egg for extra protein. Everything was good -- solid flavors and well-prepared, though nothing that totally blew me away. Service was fast and attentive, and the overall vibe was peaceful, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and ambiance. Would definitely come back to try the pastries or ice cream next time!

    I love their interior design -- clean, simple, and filled with natural light that makes me feel calm and present. Everything on the menu is gluten-free, according to the staff, which is a huge plus. My favorite dishes are the mushroom congee and shrimp & grits -- both are wonderfully comforting. I also tried their Laksa (my first time having it, unless instant noodles count). It's nicely shrimpy, and even my husband liked the soup when he tried a sip, though I still prefer their congee. Their beverages are great too. I've tried the turmeric ginger tonic, black sesame latte, hojicha matcha latte, and butterfly pea lemonade -- all were pretty good, but the turmeric tonic is my favorite. And their oat ice cream is the perfect finishing touch.

    Loved everything I tried here - the shrimp & grits and chive cake were my favorite. Definitely don't skip the ice cream - such cool Asian flavors, some of which I'd never seen before like coconut ash and thai basil!

While we were there, it was always a packed line so it definitely gets really busy from 8-9PM! We got three larges for a total of twelve flavors, a little bit of overlap: Mine: Dark Chocolate Olive Oil and Sea Salt - Really liked this, the bitter saltiness offset the creaminess really well. Coffee with Cream - A very light but roasty coffee, like a light coffee. I liked this!; Goat Cheese, Thyme and Honey - The herbal flavor is more subtle than I expected! Not too sweet, liked this one Sweet Cream & Strawberry - this one didn't stand out much to me Others: Roasted Beets and Fresh Mint - I really liked this one! The beets and mint hit on the back of your tongue, yum Chocolate Chocolate - Very intense chocolate, not too crazy about it though Cookies & Cream - Surprisingly good! I liked this one Very Strawberry - way more strawberry than the sweet cream. I'd recommend this over the sweet cream and strawberry Hill Country Honey & Vanilla Bean - Pretty light, a classic. Thought it was okay. If I had a tier list it would be: 1) Coffee with Cream 2) Goat Cheese 3) Dark Chocolate Olive Oil 4) Roasted Beets and Mint 5) Cookies & Cream 6) Very Strawberry 7) Vanilla Bean 8) Chocolate Chocolate 9) Sweet Cream & Strawberry Overall, a few hits, a few misses, but it was a fun tasting experience. We paid via inKind with no issues, which made it a pretty solid value.

Located on 6th Street, Jim Jim's is surprisingly accessible with parking spots available out front and just around the corner. It's not a sitdown place so keep that in mind for your stop, but the line does move fast and they are very efficient. There's a good variety of flavors and things they serve from italian ice to ice cream and shakes. We opted for a strawberry italian ice with condensed milk on top. From the first bite we were in heaven. The flavor is very thorough which is not always the case for Italian ices where it can sometimes be a bit muted. Every single bite of this was packed with flavor. They also carve out a bit of the middle to put the condensed milk which makes every bite much more equal than if it was just placed at the top. This was by far one of, if not the best, Italian ices we've ever had. We would very much recommend it to anyone in the Downtown area looking to cool off.
