Bom Bakeshop

About Bom Bakeshop

Bom Bakeshop isn't just gluten-free—it's celiac-owned and operated. Founded by a woman with celiac disease and her professional chef husband, this beloved Austin bakery was born from personal necessity and a passion for proving that gluten-free baked goods can be just as delicious as their traditional counterparts.

What started as a small pop-up at local farmers markets has grown into one of Austin's most trusted names in gluten-free baking. The "Bom" in Bom Bakeshop means "good" in Korean and Portuguese—a nod to both the quality of ingredients and the owners' multicultural culinary influences.

Why Bom Bakeshop is Celiac-Safe

When the owner herself has celiac disease, you can trust that safety isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation of everything:

• 100% Dedicated GF Facility: No gluten has ever entered their kitchen
• Celiac-Owned: The owner personally understands cross-contamination risks
• Certified GF Ingredients: All flour blends and ingredients are tested and verified
• Single-Purpose Equipment: Mixers, pans, and tools have never touched gluten
• Transparent Sourcing: Staff can tell you exactly where ingredients come from

The bakery operates primarily through farmers markets and pre-orders, ensuring everything is made fresh in small batches with meticulous attention to safety.

Must-Try Menu Items

Bom Bakeshop's rotating menu features both sweet and savory items. Here are the crowd favorites that sell out quickly:

• Mochi Donuts ($4-5): Their signature item! Chewy, slightly crispy, and available in flavors like ube, matcha, and chocolate glaze. Unlike traditional donuts, the mochi texture is naturally gluten-free.
• Kolaches ($6-8): A Texas staple made GF! Choose from savory options like jalapeño-cheddar sausage or sweet fruit-filled varieties. These sell out by mid-morning.
• Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) ($3): Naturally gluten-free using tapioca flour. Warm, chewy, and addictively cheesy.
• Seasonal Tres Leches Cake (slice $8): Rich, moist, and soaked in three milks. Pre-order whole cakes for celebrations.
• Savory Hand Pies ($7): Flaky GF pastry filled with rotating savory fillings like chicken pot pie or spinach feta.

Pro tip: Follow their Instagram (@bombakeshop) for weekly flavor announcements and pop-up locations. Popular items sell out within hours of market opening.

How to Order

Bom Bakeshop operates differently than a traditional storefront:

• Farmers Markets: Find them at Mueller Farmers Market (Sundays) and other rotating locations
• Pre-Orders: Order through their website by Thursday for weekend pickup
• Special Orders: Custom cakes and large orders available with advance notice
• Arrive Early: Market days see long lines—arrive within the first hour for best selection

Payment: They accept credit cards, cash, and Venmo at markets.

What to Know Before You Go

Since Bom Bakeshop operates primarily at farmers markets, here's what to expect:

• No permanent storefront: Check their social media for current pop-up locations
• Cash and card accepted: But the line moves faster with card ready
• Bring a cooler: If buying multiple items in summer, keep them fresh
• Ask about allergens: While GF, some items contain dairy, eggs, or nuts

The owner is often at the booth and happy to discuss celiac-safe options and ingredient sourcing—something you won't find at most bakeries.
