OMG Squee

The Short Answer

Yes — everything. OMG Squee is a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen, so the entire menu is safe without a conversation. It is also free of peanuts and cashews, which is a combination almost nothing else in Austin offers.

About OMG Squee

OMG Squee makes Asian and Asian-American desserts in East Austin — mochi donuts, taiyaki sundaes, macarons, cheesecake and bubble tea — and the entire operation is gluten-free.

The shop is small, with outdoor seating, and it does not feel like a place built around a restriction. That matters more than it sounds. Most dedicated gluten-free businesses lead with what they leave out. This one leads with the desserts, and the gluten-free part is simply how the kitchen works.

Gluten-Free at OMG Squee

The kitchen is fully dedicated. There is no wheat flour on the premises, so there is no cross-contact question to ask and nothing on the menu to avoid.

The kitchen is also peanut and cashew free. If you are managing a nut allergy alongside celiac disease, that combination is rare enough to be worth the drive — most dedicated gluten-free bakeries lean heavily on almond and cashew flours.

Other tree nuts may still appear in specific items. Ask if you are managing a broader nut allergy.

What to Order

Mochi donuts are the signature — chewier and denser than a conventional donut, which is a texture gluten-free baking usually struggles to reach.

Taiyaki sundaes are the thing people photograph: a fish-shaped waffle cone filled with soft serve.

Also on the menu: macarons (naturally gluten-free anywhere, but made here without the cross-contact worry), cheesecake and bubble tea.

Hours & Practical Notes

Closed Mondays. Tuesday to Thursday 10am–6pm, Friday to Sunday 10am–10pm — the late weekend hours make it one of the few dedicated gluten-free options in Austin after dinner.

Bolm Road is east of Springdale, an industrial-turned-creative pocket rather than a walkable strip. Drive, and expect to park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is everything at OMG Squee gluten-free?

Yes. The kitchen is fully dedicated, so every item on the menu is gluten-free. There is no wheat flour on the premises and nothing to avoid.

Is OMG Squee safe for celiacs?

A dedicated kitchen is the safest category there is, because it removes cross-contact rather than managing it. If you are also managing a peanut or cashew allergy, the kitchen is free of both — an unusual combination for a bakery, since many gluten-free recipes rely on nut flours.

What are mochi donuts?

A donut made with glutinous rice flour rather than wheat, which gives a chewy, springy texture rather than a soft crumb. The name is misleading — glutinous refers to the texture, not to gluten. Rice flour contains none.

When is OMG Squee open?

Closed Mondays. Tuesday to Thursday 10am to 6pm, Friday to Sunday 10am to 10pm. The late weekend hours make it one of the few dedicated gluten-free options in Austin after dinner.
