This restaurant is 100% GF!! We had a wonderful dinner... just sitting at the bar. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The young man seated next to us was fun to talk to. We recommend this place regardless if you need GF or not. The GF beer was very good. read more

I tried this adorable restaurant for brunch and was so pleasantly surprised at how cozy and cute it was inside! It's so ig aesthetic and vibey and the food is actually great. I ordered the vegan Caesar with organic chicken (lol) and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The service was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a chill place to have brunch with friends while downtown, this is definitely the spot. Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu. Of note though, parking is super limited. read more

This past Tuesday, November 11, 2025 my spouse and I visited your restaurant for the second time. First visit was wonderful, unfortunately this recent visit was not. I wanted to share my concerns regarding a recent visit to your establishment. According to your website, you serve an "all-day menu" Monday through Friday, which should include items such as Avocado Toast. However, when we arrived around 3:00 p.m., we were only given the dinner menu. I'm not sure why this happened--3:00 p.m. seems rather early for dinner service. When we inquired about the menu and requested to order the Avocado Toast, we were told that it is only on the lunch menu and it is not being served at this time. I would have appreciated a bit more flexibility or an exception from the chef. Additionally, if Happy Hour begins at 3:00, we were not informed of it, nor were we offered a Happy Hour menu. This was quite disappointing to learn after the fact. To add to the experience the meal was not fresh, it seemed as if it was left over from the lunch rush and simply reheated in the Microwave. Our last concern is after our meals were served, our Server Catherine, never returned to check on us or see if we needed anything else. Given that the restaurant was nearly empty at that time, this lack of attention was surprising. Overall, the visit was a sad and disappointing experience, especially given the expectations set by your website and past reputation. I hope you'll take this feedback constructively to improve communication, service, and menu consistency going forward. Cynthia A read more

I've been here twice, once for my birthday brunch and once for dinner on the patio. The food is amazing and the ambiance is immaculate. Do NOT skip the bread and butter appetizer, I think about it every day. Other standouts are the Deep roots juice, vegan Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts, coconut curry squash, and for brunch the Potato and Chorizo hash. Also it's so nice that everything is gluten free and free from seed oils, but in zero way does it affect the flavors!!! It's hard to find healthy food that actually tastes good, and they've done an amazing job here! read more

Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. They have both vegan and non vegan options, healthy food options and a very nice ambiance. The service is reliable and good too. I love that they have protein options that aren't just tofu for vegans. Wellness drinks are pre made but tasty. read more

100% gluten free restaurant in the heart of downtown Austin (in the 2nd district area). I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. There were so many great options on the brunch menu but we needed up picking the avocado toast and chilaquiles. Both were delicious! We skipped the alcoholic beverages this time and opted for coffee and juices. The service was great. Our waiter, Aaron, was friendly and knowledgeable. The vibe of the restaurant was fun and fresh. We will definitely be back to try all the other great options of food and drinks. They have a small online/to go area which is perfect for quick bites. read more

loveddd their recover smoothie which was a mix of vanilla and chocolate and definitely on the sweeter side. BAE toast was alright, the avocado was a little overpowering and the bacon could've been crispier. this place has a very modern, boho-chic aesthetic that will leave you awestruck. my friend got the boss babe smoothie with the chilaquiles plate and wagyu. besides a little more salt, the steak was easy to enjoy. her smoothie was more on the tart side. our server seated us the best seat in the cafe and offered great recommendations. he was sweet and accommodating! cute & very healthy brunch spot with tasty smoothies! read more

**0/5 Stars - "Fūfu Austin's $13 Wagyu: A Gluten-Free Grift"** Stumbled into this pretentious Fūfu Austin shrine chasing the "lunch special." Smugly preached "high-grade, seed-oil-free" like its communion. Ordered the Wagyu burger. **$13 for mid?** That gluten-free rice bun is a war crime--dense, flavorless, collapses like Austin's credibility in "wellness." The "Wagyu" patty? Under seasoned gray disc; I've had more seasoned hockey pucks from a British petrol station at 3 AM. Cleaner than thou? Sure. **Tastes like thou forgot flavor.** Will never order this overpriced virtue-signal again. read more

Great last minute find before they closed! We left ACL Live after a show and wanted to have another drink with our friends. Stumbled into this place with the best atmosphere...so chic and cozy. We didn't know it's completely free of Gluten * Dairy * Seed Oils * Soy * Refined Sugar * GMOs ...Our friend who can't have cheese LOVED the queso! We got that and drinks and quite enjoyed it. read more

Steak frites is now steak and the little bits out of the bottom of a bag of frozen French fries.

This was my first visit and I found parking in the 2nd street parking garage. The restaurant was loud but this was an event so I am not sure if this is the normal volume. The ceilings are high and the lighting was right (not dim and not bright). The restaurant was very clean. The tasting menu was for sampling the happy hour bites menu. The menu is entirely gluten free. They only use 3 oils to cook with avocado, coconut, and another oil (I forgot). All ingredients are sourced with a focus on quality. I tried the Pear Bruschetta, Mushroom Crostini, and the Chicken Flautas. All had a great taste. The wait staff was on top of everything. Their service was exceptional. I will be back to try their main menu and post a review on that after a future visit. I also had the black tea old fashioned and the margarita. Both with great taste. Overall a great trendy place. Check it out! read more

I went to the well for happy hour, they have specialty drinks as well as nonalcoholic drinks, on happy hour. Everything is gluten-free and there were definitely vegetarian options. I had the ceviche which was delicious and the avocado chocolate mousse tart. The service was great and there is ample indoor and outdoor seating. The inside of this restaurant has been done so beautifully it is really calming and lovely. read more

First time visit for me. I stopped by for a ladies brunch and we had a lovely time. This place has a cozy and chic ambiance. The food was tasty but personally thought my dish had too much going on. We started out with a round of Sangria, while delicious, flavor wise tasted more like a fall drink instead of summer. It would have been nice to have the option to choose white or red sangria. Nonetheless the service was spot on as our server was pleasant and promptly brought out items to the table. I may give this spot another try in the future. read more

Great spot for brunch, the atmosphere is beyond beautiful! Perfect for pictures and really makes you feel like you are at a nice fancy modern restaurant. The food tasted great but is a little unique and a little too out there flavor wise. A few people at our table had to make modifications as it was not traditional brunch items. Their cocktail, wine and drink list was phenomenal and they had a large variety of non alcoholic drink options as well. They also had a whole wellness section which is great for brunch that included, healthy organic smoothies that could be served as bowls with fresh fruit as well. They also had house made pressed juices. read more

Great place for breakfast. Meet a couple work buddies here for a breakfast meeting. Very friendly staff

Pretty decor and creative art makes The Well a great place for date night or hanging out with few friends. You can choose to sit indoors or in the patio area. The Happy Hour menu is quite unique. I like that they have so many healthy vegan food and zero proof drink options. The vegan queso is one of the best I have had and very close to the real thing. Potatas bravas is quite interesting with a tasty sauce and zing to it. The drinks that do have alcohol are quite strong. read more

Love this spot! I went for brunch when I had a few friends in town and had a great time. Our server was so nice, explaining all the dishes to us. I ended up with the chill smoothie bowl and loved it. Others had various brunch options and not a single complaint was heard. I have to be careful what I eat because of a chronic illness and they made it super easy to trust the menu.

We moved to Austin about a year ago and The Well is our absolute favorite. Nourishing meals across the board, great lattes and teas, love the bone broth and we have brought friends and family alike when they are here to visit and everyone is always happy with the food. We always have great service at both locations, and the parking is easy downtown - you can do city hall or the amli garage and they validate for you! Always a great experience and we have been more times than I can count now. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and they have great smoothies with great ingredients. read more

I wanted to love this place but the food was mediocre and the staff was awful. We came in at 11:30am for an early lunch, the place wasn't busy at all but there was no one at the host stand and servers looked at us like we didn't know what we were doing. I had to walk over to a server and ask if this is self seating because no one was there to seat us. The servers looked so confused and didn't offer to seat us but instead just said "there should be a host to seat you". Btw a server can seat us if the host isn't available, so maybe someone should have just taken us to an available table. Keep in mind this was all happening in front of what looked like a manager sitting in a booth on her computer - also ignoring us. When the host finally got to the podium she looked miserable and as if we were disturbing her by wanting to eat at the restaurant. We finally got sat and looked at the menu which was ok. All the beef is wagyu which is actually not healthy at all but just fancy. Grain fed, fattened up beef to taste better and be more tender. But at least they don't use seed oils or gluten. This is their big seller and I think they ride on that theme a little too much and are lacking in the other areas. Guacamole and tacos were the best, the rest was decent but with the mix of miserable staff and okay food this was not a good experience at all for Austin restaurant standards. read more

I'm leaving this review so someone from management can take notice. I have always appreciated how The Well has been open to customer feedback and improving from it. As much as I love this place -- where else do you get such delicious gf sf df food -- my frustrations with service continue. This time, it was the two girls at the host stand. We arrived around 5pm and asked where we should park. One of them guided us to the City Hall garage (they validate the first 90 minutes). By the time we circled around, parked, and walked over, about 15 minutes later, they had a sign on the door saying The Well was closed for a private event. I don't understand why they wouldn't tell us that when we asked where to park - that's just such common sense. And we confirmed with them that they didn't have the private event notice 15 minutes prior. And there is no way someone walked in within those 15 minutes and bought out the whole restaurant. And there was no ownership over the situation from the hostess, or an acknowledgment of how this wasted our time. There was just a casual shrug, an offer to still validate, and a prompt return to their giggly gossiping with each other. It was like she was saying - NBD. But it was for us - and that's where basic customer service comes in. Or even simple human empathy. The food here is absolutely delicious and the ambiance is perfect -- but it may now be time to invest in employee training because service issues have been ongoing even post-Covid. read more

Came here for lunch. I went with the lettuce wraps which did not come with the chicken they were supposed to but were still very delicious! My waitress noticed and comped me a bit of the cost even though I didn't say anything. My friend got the salmon and had nothing but great things to say! The ambiance is quite enjoyable and the space is lovely. read more

Tried this place out for brunch when I was in Austin - the place itself is lovely, great ambiance and the decor was really put together. The workers were really nice and we were able to get to our table quickly. I ordered the sweet potato hash (the waitress said it was her favorite). It was decent but I think there was some vinaigrette on it that made it quite tart and difficult to eat. I ended up not being able to finish it unfortunately but I did love the idea of it. I wish the menu itself included all things that would be on the hash because I think the sauce on it is an important point for those ordering it (and just for allergies). Overall, I enjoyed the vibe and the service - I think I would've been happier with another meal option but it is what it is! Would be happy to return if I'm in the area to try something else. read more

Went to The Well with the hubby for the second time as a pre-Valentines day dinner. I completely forgot to write a review last time, but I think my thoughts remain the same. The Well is absolutely gorgeous inside and I love that fact that every item is soy free, gluten free, and free of refined sugars. However, the prices are pretty hefty for what you get. My favorites include the Salmon Tartare, Tacos, Coconut curry, Brussels sprouts and the mole. We tried the chicken and salads and though they were too simple for the price. Service is spot on throughout the whole dinner. Overall, this is a great place for a date night dinner, but prepare to pay for more than what you get. read more

Came back here for brunch and WOW, we were blown away, the food was incredible!!! For starters, we got the golden milk latte and the cappuccino with house made cashew milk, monk fruit and cinnamon, each drink was a 10/10. If I could give it a 100/10 I would!! The milk was so smooth, creamy, and delish. All of the entrees were 12/10 if not more but the real star if we had to pick a favorite was the chilaquiles- the pecan mole is EXCEPTIONAL! The perfect sweetness but smoky flavor profile mixed with a delicious blend of cauliflower, eggs, healthy siete chips and sprouts, YUMM. The BAE toast, which sounds basic, was beyond basic and absolutely delicious. The bacon was the best I've ever had and the bread was a nutty, seedy sourdough that was truly heaven. The chorizo hash was so so good, like I said it was hard to pick a favorite. Our server was so sweet and willing to accommodate any of our changes. Love love this place I can't wait to come back already read more

Our server Edison was very knowledgeable and helpful with his recommendations. He is a very pleasant young man and made our experience very pleasant. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and also made the experience very enjoyable. The food is amazing. It's hard to find vegan options at nice restaurants. There were so many good vegan options. The only downside is parking. We aren't from here so we didn't know the parking options. The roadside spots were all taken so we had to park in the garage. It was $18 for 2 hours. All in all well worth it for the experience. read more

My bf and I went suit shopping at Indochino and were looking for a spot to eat. We found The Well; never heard of this place. Our first impression, was wow the ambiance, decor was beautiful! The menu was great as it was accommodating to many common allergies/dietary preferences. We ordered the elixir drink, the vegan queso, guacamole, & ceviche. The drink was so refreshing and ginger forward. We loved it! The vegan queso was filled with flavor and spice. We weren't sure about strawberries in the guacamole, but it works! We would recommend the ceviche, it was so fresh. The cassava chips with all three apps made everything perfect. I would probably come back here to try some of their main entrees. read more

Stopped for takeout. Kale and Lentil salad was very good with a just-sweet-enough dressing (on the side). A word of caution- they massage the kale to break it down, so the greens are softened. Ask them to hold off if you are a fan of crunchy greens. From the description, I expected the salad to come with sliced dates, but it was more of a date-puree, still tasty. I added a small piece of salmon which was nicely cooked. Side of roasted purple potatoes was fried but tasty with a good amount of salt and rosemary for flavor. Would return to try other things on the menu. read more

My coworkers and I were in town for work and stumbled upon this place for dinner one night. Our waitress Emily was amazing! She was really attentive and accommodating -- when two of us accidentally spilled our drinks, she immediately came over and offered us new ones. She was also really helpful in terms of making decisions on our food order, and plus, she was really funny too. It was truly the highlight of my day! In terms of the food -- I love how health conscious it is and focuses on using no added sugar or seed oils! On top of that, the food was really good. We had the chips & guacamole, coconut curry squash (with tri-grain rice), spinach pesto pasta, and the wagyu steak frites. We sat outside because we didn't want to wait for a seat inside, but both the indoor and outdoor seating options were cute and trendy. Would definitely come here again on my next trip to Austin! read more
