La Creperie provides many breakfast options with the crepes being the main attraction. My favorite is the Cannes. They have a gluten-free option using rice flour which have been great and have not caused a reaction with my Celiac. It can get busy on weekends, so expect to wait after about 8:30. They also only accept cash or checks.

Gluten and Dairy free:Yes. They have a few selections of gelato that are dairy free. The coconut is amazing, though I am still hoping that they will make their pistachio in a vegan version (fingers crossed). The polenta and caponata is expensive but very tasty and safe for the wheat and dairy challenged. Service is usually pretty good the staff is friendly, but it does depend on who's working as to whether you get friendly and enthusiastic or lack luster but efficient. All in all this place is great, we come for gelato 2-3 times a month, While I couldn't eat it my wife says the lasagna was excellent and she says the mint chocolate gelato is the best dairy version. Coconut is the most amazing according to both of us though. If you are in city park stop by this little place. It's a delicious choice.
Cafe Vino

A spot with a cool patio, fantastic drinks, and a unique option to create your own wine flight, but can get a bit loud due to passing cars.

Really excellent service and atmosphere, and I always love their wine flight options, with the choice to make your own flight! We arrived shortly before the kitchen and bar were closing, so we had limited food choices on this particular visit. Overall, I have always found their food to be good, but the gluten-free crackers are why I gave the food 4 stars from this visit. There are a LOT of good gluten-free cracker options out there these days, but these were really quite bland, dry, and unappetizing. I couldn't even finish one of them. I found it startlingly out of line from their otherwise high-end, tastey food menu. (If I was giving stars on just the crackers alone, I don't think I could have even given them one star.)
Persimmon
251 Jefferson St, Fort Collins, CO 80524, USA
New, atmospheric spot in Fort Collins with an appealing modern vibe and a selection of incredible drinks. Slow service but they're sorting it out.
