I've been here a few times and am so appreciative of the fact that they have gluten free donuts!
This donut and coffee shop is nestled into a shopping center right off of 290, making it fairly accessible. The parking lot is massive and offers free parking, which is fairly common in this area of Austin, so finding a space to park is also convenient.
As far as the donuts, I think they really nail the flavors and I'm genuinely obsessed with the gf lemon lavender donut from here, but they are quite a bit smaller than their regular donuts (and still just as pricy/more expensive). The gf donuts have a rather spongelike texture, so they're not like regular donuts if that's what you're looking for in a gluten free donut.
That said, they do also have regular donuts with even more flavor options than they offer in gluten free...including massive regular and orange-flavored cinnamon rolls (which I'd love for them to make gluten free!!)
I've purchased the regular donuts for my family before (since I'm the only sad gluten free person in the family), and they've never had any complaints! It's always a treat when I come here!
The only negative is that the drinks are really a hit or a miss and it's a bit inconsistent. I will say that the hot matcha latte is delicious, but the iced matcha latte lacks a good flavor. Additionally, I appreciate that their lavender latte is a staple on the menu, but it's not a flavorful as it was in the past. I make my own lattes most days and use a lavender extract from Sprouts, so it's surprising to me that I can barely taste any lavender in the latte lately and I believe they may have changed the recipe.
That said, the employees are very friendly and polite, and their restaurant is always very clean!
Seating is a bit limited because it's a smaller location, but I've never seen it completely full because I think most people take their donuts and drinks to go. So if you want to sit and enjoy your breakfast, you typically can!
All in all, I'm a big fan of Bougie's and highly recommend checking them out!
