Service was GREAT. Very friendly and willing to give you all the info you need about the menu. They bring rolls out to your table, and they're obviously modified rolls, but they're very tasty, a bit like if a normal dinner roll and a steamed asian bun had a baby.

I had a breakfast sandwich of sorts, and my egg was overcooked, but the sauces had a great flavor. My companion had a waffle, and she noticed the texture was different, but I thought it tasted really light. Normally waffles make me feel like I swallowed a block of cement, but not THIS waffle!

It wasn't cheap diner fare, although the ambiance was very casual. What I mean here is that, while the food itself isn't anything fancy, it costs a bit more than the diner equivalent. But you're paying to get RNs to plan your meal for you, and make it using modified ingredients. In my mind, it's worth the cost on occasion.

They also have tons of bread and SAMPLES. You can try just about anything they sell. Oh yeah--they also sell gluten free cookie dough. And I kind of want some right now. I also want to try their pizzas. They ship, for all your friends who want gluten free goodies around the country. But if you're local, they're in a really nice part of town--near the Witte Museum, Brackenridge Park, etc.”

BUT IF ANYTHING DO NOT SKIP OUT ON THE DESSERTS, they are what make this place a standout place to eat even if you have no issue with gluten or allergies.The chocolate cake was tasty as it had seemed to use coconut milk in it to give a good mix of flavors, add a topping of candied pecans.”

“Let me first say that my fiance (who is GF) and I live in Michigan. We were in San Antonio for a friend's wedding and while we were there we decided to try a little restaurant called The Little Aussie Bakery. It took us awhile to find the place (apparently our GPS did not like the address), but we are so glad we did! BEST GF BREAD WE HAVE EVER TASTED! So much so, that we stopped by before we left to go home and got a bunch of bread and sandwiches to-go. Although some places in MI have come close, we cannot find a better GF bread than The Little Aussie.”

We were immediately drawn to the desserts: in a display case, by the register - beautiful, sumptuous-looking pies and cakes - such an assortment that a decision was difficult to reach. Ultimately, we chose to split a house salad with orange dressing; a veggie pizza; and two varieties of layer cake. Salad was mixed greens with a variety of other vegetables: crisp and tasty, and served with a few slices of yummy, tender garlic bread with a chewy crust. The house dressing was light, orange-y. The pizza - oh my, THAT pizza!! It was topped with baby spinach, sliced cherub tomatoes, black olives, mushrooms, sweet red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, globs of mozzarella, and crumbled feta - all atop a chewy, flavorful crust. We also each received a complimentary glass of wine that evening, a pretty decent Australian red.

And last but definitely not least was our dessert: two slices of layer cake which the extremely hospitable staff cut into half for us, so we could mix-n-match: chocolate-orange-mocha; and white almond something with cream cheese filling, iced with an almond-y glaze. They were both extremely good. At one point, too, a couple that had been seated got up and began dancing to the background music: gliding across the floor, swirling and twirling.

So the bottom line? I'm way too new to this "wheat intolerance" business to have been able to adapt my favorite bread, pizza crust, cookie, and cake recipes to the alternative flours; until I master those skills, it's vastly reassuring to know Little Aussie has my back!"

In case you haven't been Little Aussie Bakery is a gluten free restaurant. When I first told my husband I wanted to try it out he was a bit on the fence. Anything "free" makes him think no taste. He was wrong and rightfully admitted it. First time we went there I ordered the chicken salad and he ordered a sandwich...roast beef maybe? I can't remember. The thing I did remember was the chicken was so flavorful and succulent I think I might have been drooling. The bread that comes with the salad was delish and it was gluten free. The funny thing was that even though I ordered the salad and my husband a sandwich with chips...my meal was heartier. I kept eating well after he finished his plate. Hah!

They have a nice baked good selection here. That day we went home with several types of cookies and have stopped in a few other times to pick up some cookies on the way to the park.

The thing we need to try is their pizza. They have some sort of pizza party deal on Friday's that we have yet to try....but we will eventually!”

Our waiter was super nice and when I was trying to decide which dessert I wanted, he described every item to me in the case. I decided on a strawberry cream layer cake. It was to die for. Talk about melt in your mouth!! I let my friends try and they agreed - it was delicious. We also tried the chocolate pecan pie and the cookies & cream cake - both yummy!

I'd definitely like to go back and try their daily menu!”

“I love Little Aussie!! It's small and quaint with the most awesome employees. It's a place to just kick up your feet and enjoy a pastry or meal. It's a good place to go especially after walking around Brackenridge park behind it. They make the best Pavlova, I had never had heard of it before, but once I tried it I was hooked. They have the best brunch selection. I had their French toast and loved loved it.”
