Assortment of pastries
Pax S.

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!

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.

Coconut ash

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.

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.

chicken salad sandwich - A sandwich with a crusty whole grain bread cut into two halves, filled with leafy greens and a creamy filling that appears to contain chopped ingredients. The sandwich is served on a round ceramic plate with a neutral glaze, placed on a light-colored wooden table. A napkin and a spoon are visible in the background.

I came here the other day specifically for their dairy-free ice cream and was so impressed that I couldn't wait to come back to try their brunch and lunch menu. The ice cream was delicious. While there were only a few options without cane sugar (which I personally avoid), one of them was vanilla bean--a classic--and it absolutely delivered. Simple, creamy, and so satisfying. My family tried other flavors and loved theirs as well, so it was a win all around. I came back within the week to try the lunch menu, which is entirely gluten free, and I really appreciate how many options they offer for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets. That said, many of the items still contained cane sugar, which limited my choices a bit. I ended up ordering the chicken salad on ciabatta, which did not contain cane sugar--and it was so good. Honestly, the ciabatta didn't even feel like gluten-free bread, which is saying a lot. Soft, flavorful, and a perfect match for the chicken salad. Overall, this is a great spot for people with dietary restrictions, especially gluten and dairy. I just wish there were a few more cane sugar-free options across the menu, because when they get it right, they really get it right.

Rating: 4.1/5 [dine in] They have a lot of unique flavors, and everything is 100% vegan. The texture isn't as creamy as regular ice cream, but the flavors and sweetness still come through. I liked that they had a self-serve water station too. They also sell pastries, ice cream sandwiches, and tubs you can take home. We went with the flower waffle cone, which comes with two big scoops of ice cream ($12.50). They also added a 15% fair wage fee which sounded high, but it came out to be $1.88. The cone itself was soft instead of crunchy, and the pressed flowers looked pretty even though they didn't taste like much. It still paired nicely with the ice cream and gave a contrasting texture. For flavors, the Cookie Monster looked fun with its bright blue color but wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be. The Pandan was the sweetest of everything we tried but still good, just definitely needed water after. The Texas Peach had the perfect level of sweetness and peach flavor. The Thai Coffee had bold flavors but wasn't as strong as Vietnamese coffee. The Mint Chocolate Chip didn't hit right though; my husband said it tasted weird.

They expanded the baked goods recently with a lot more options. The quality of ice cream is still the same. I tried Texas blueberry this time and it was delightful

10/10. This gelato was everything! It was soft but not runny!! Or sticky!! I prefer cookie dough, cookies and cream, pistachio flavors and although they didn't have cookie dough when I visited (they usually do was what the worker told me) the cookie monster and chocolate tasted really good. Chocolate was packed with powerful punch but not bitter. The cookie monster honestly tasted like cookie dough/cookies. Also the workers are so sweet! They are patient whilst you try flavors and walk you through what you should order based on your taste preferences. Ambiance was so relaxed, I went around nine and there were three pairs of people each having their own conversations. Definitely recommend Also, the gelato is all gluten free and they have pastries including brownies and protein bars plus a cute water station. They have a lot of things, haha

Cookie Monster & Thai Basil - Two cups of vegan ice cream are placed on a white table, each with a plastic spoon inserted. The left cup contains blue-colored ice cream, and the right cup contains green-colored ice cream. The ice creams appear creamy and are served in small paper cups. The spoons are positioned upright in each cup, and the background is out of focus.

Gati has really great vegan ice cream! Very unique flavors with a light and airy texture. We ordered the cookie monster and thai basil, and both were good. I enjoyed the flavor that the coconut milk adds, and the cookies in the cookie monster were delicious. I'd go for this on a night where I want a lighter sweet treat. The staff was really friendly and the store is cute! Definitely interested in going back and trying some of their baked goods and breakfast!

They are always clean, cozy, with friendly staff who don't mind if you need to sample multiple flavors before making a decision. Speaking of the flavors, they're pretty unique, rotate out, and there's usually two vegan options to choose from, so it's great if you are out with a group of mixed diets. It's a little pricey, but you'll get higher end ingredients than at a smaller ice cream shop. For the vegan flavors, Chocolate Chocolate is pretty solid, but I prefer the Pecan Joy when it's available. The Grapefruit Paloma has a boozy kick that is delightful as well. I'm told the Texas Sheet Cake is really good and so is their Caramel Salt Lick.

A milestone. A monument. A celebration of a man whose legend looms over Austin like a slightly tipsy bat. Nate Gardog & Co bravely ordered what was advertised as an Oreo cake meant to serve 4-5 humans. What arrived, however, was not a cake. It was not even a mini-cake. It was... a cupcake wearing platform shoes. A baked good masquerading as something it clearly was not. The bag was on us, literally and spiritually. Shane--who, need I remind you, is an Austin icon, a man whose culinary preferences are practically carved into the walls of Barton Springs--was forced to confront this fraudulent pastry. And let me tell you: no man deserves this. Not at 38. Not ever. If the staff at Amy's were the true clairvoyants we believed them to be, they would have inherently known Shane's one, true, universal flavor: Funfetti. Classic. Chaotic. Confetti for the soul. Yet here we stood. Funfetti-less. Candle-less. Hope-less. As the final insult, there were no candles. Not even a sad, melted tea light from the back. Nothing to blow out except disappointment. In conclusion: the vibes were off, the cake was tiny, and Shane--our dear, beloved Shane--deserved better.

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.
