Gluten-Free Restaurants in Waco, TX

“Recently opened in a newly reimagined building, it is a downtown treasure. The feeling is intimate and nostalgic - fulfilling the dreamed intention.

I recommend that you take your time when you visit. Bring your cell phone but only for pictures. Step out of the 21st century and be transported to the time your great grandparents were courting.

Allow yourself to revel in a time of elegance and enjoy each other's company.“

“The restaurant has flourished in the last year. Have tried multiple entrees and appetizers and all have been excellent. Highly recommend“

“Beautiful ambience and amazing cinnamon Rolls! We ordered the Raspberry Chocolate Scones and they were divine!“

“Allergies….my wife has developed severe gluten, dairy and egg allergies in the last few years. YAKI specializes in food prep WITHOUT allergy concerns!! They came up when we looked up gluten free options while visiting Waco and what a God-send! We spoke with Jake and encouraged him and the vision he has for helping people that can’t partake in regular food! If you’re in the Waco area, I highly recommend YAKI, whether or not you have a food allergy! I would really like to see YAKI branch out to serve more people, so help them out! EATYAKI!“

“We stopped by here on our anniversary weekend. The place was awesome. They are a great Christian business! God bless them.“

“My husband and I have been here multiple times. We’ve had a variety of cupcakes and their cinnamon roll.

I would rate this a 3 star because I think they’re too sweet, too much sugar which overwhelms the other ingredients. I feel like the sugar is the main ingredient and that’s all I taste. They are moist with good quality ingredients and you do get a lot for the price. I am picky with desserts because I make my own. I spoke with someone else that has eaten here and they also felt they were too sweet. If they put in a little less sugar, then they would be perfect.

My husband, on the other hand, thinks it’s the right amount of sugar and loves coming here. So he would give them a five star.

So that’s why I rated this a four, to meet our opinions in the middle. He loves their chocolate cupcakes the best.

There is a bakery in a town named West, which is much better and that’s where I will be getting my bakery from now on.

Do try for yourself, because they are very popular and worth trying at least once. You may love them like many others.“

“My family and I stayed at the Pivovar for my daughter’s wedding in March 2025. The restaurant was fantastic and the rooms classically authentic. It is a beautiful hotel and is central to everything downtown Waco has to offer! Will definitely be back to try the beer spa! 🍻“

“A great alternative to ice cream for the kids. It’s a slightly healthier option and we can choose the serving size! A great local family owned business to support!“

“Always a good experience here. There are a few more flavors to choose from here than a couple of others I've been to. The workers are always nice and present. In some places I've been to, there might be 1 person, and usually in the back. There are enough employees here for at least 2 of them to be present if anything is needed“

“It was our first visit, we will be back The food was great, service was amazing and hospitality like you get from those down home country cafes.“

“The best pizza around! My boyfriend took me there 50 years ago and as my husband now when we want the best pizza that is where we go.“
