Patio was great. Food was excellent. Huge portions, the papusas are GIANT. Chips and salsa were top notch. Chose Monses due to the 100% gluten free kitchen to accommodate celiacs in our party.
Overall Rating 4.5
Urban Egg is that brunch spot if you're in Colorado Springs. The vibe is welcoming, the menu is stacked with unique options (including GF-friendly ones), and the staff? 10/10.
I ordered The Cure (it's a pineapple, vanilla, OJ, coconut water bev) and yes, it did cure me. Light, refreshing,, juicy, and not overly sweet. Also had the hazelnut cold brew, which was super tasty and gave me life.
For food, we went with the Denver Bot Chicken Benedict Bliss. Originally thought it could be made gluten-free and was sad it couldn’t be, but they baked it for me instead and it was still so good. The flavors were spot on, and now I’m just out here dreaming of a GF version with that crispy fried batter. Manifesting that for next time.
Also tried the Ultimate Breakfast Sando with turkey bacon + avo. Solid sandwich, but I’m a thick sourdough or croissant for breakfast sando kinda person, so the bread wasn't exactly my thing. Still tasty, just a personal preference.
Overall: amazing staff, thoughtful menu, and tons of great GF options. Which isn’t always easy to find. Would def come back (and next time I’m trying a pancake flight).
The restaurant has premade gluten free crusts they can use for the pizza and to make cheesy bread. You can definitely tell the crust is pre-made but the toppings tasted fresh and they had some of the best gf cheesy bread I’ve had in Colorado Springs! The salad I got on the side was also large and filling and they use a separate baking dish for gluten free items + will change gloves and be careful about cross contact.
They have a gluten free menu you can request that also indicates options for avoiding soy, corn and coconut and everything is dairy free and plant based. They have gluten free desserts from local gluten free bakeries and are happy to modify dishes as needed for additional allergens. Their cocktails are also AMAZING!
They have a gluten free menu and will serve gluten free orders on different plates, which makes me feel safer. I usually get the gf ginger chicken and broccoli but also love the spicy chicken!
The food here is always delicious! They have a daily soup that is fantastic and can accommodate gluten free diets! Try the Pad See Eew, so flavorful and delicious!
We've been eating here for at least 5 years, and it's always amazing. Their gluten-free crust is the best anywhere, I like it with the mountain man add jalapeños. Great place with a great mission and the best ingredients in Colorado!
I'll start by saying their gluten free pizza is magnificent. I live in Michigan and everytime I'm in Colorado I have to go here. My family tells me their regular pizza
is OK. My complaint is you pay for toppings and they are very stingy... their mushrooms are shredded tiny pieces and there is probably not even one mushroom added. But their gluten free crust is so so good!
We have been very fortunate to have Jennifer h. As our server. We don't frequent urban egg a lot . However the last 3 visits we have had our food served by Jennifer. She remembers my gluten allergy and my husband's spicy tastes. She is always helpful and patient even in a rush in the very busy morning . She is a bright spot in the midst of the noise of the cafe. She is an asset to.the restaurant and company. I gave a 3 for atmosphere due to the noise of customers which I understand is because the food is so delicious !
I ordered the Gluten Free crust and they were very careful to avoid as much cross contamination as possible, even offering to change their gloves. I love that they have so many topping choices for all dietary needs! The kids size pizza was the perfect amount for my 5 year old! We came in hungry after a hike- the pizzas are made as you order and cook quickly. The fig “finishing” sauce is my favorite- I highly recommend trying it!
If you’re looking for a quick, convenient bite while exploring downtown Colorado Springs, this is a great spot to stop for breakfast or lunch. Most of the menu can be made gluten free and they have which options can be gluten free marked on the menu. They also indicate when gluten & dairy free is not possible. It is a shared kitchen but they are careful with cross contact, including making the gluten free baked goods with fresh equipment and ingredients and baking at a different time.
Classic skirted heifer on a gluten free bun with Belgian fries. Did not disappoint. Great flavor and wonderful service. Had the homemade chocolate custard for dessert. Rich, creamy and delicious.
We had their gluten free pizza here when in town visiting and it’s been the best one we’ve had anywhere. Bubbly crust, thin, and crusty just like a wonderful regular pizza. Wish the chef would host an online class to teach others how to make a gluten free pizza like they do, we’d sign up!
Haven't been here in a while. I got chicken fajitas. There were very good, but for me the surprise star was the corn tortillas. They make them in-house and they were, quite frankly, delicious! I eat gluten-free and (mostly) keto. One of these tortillas is worth the keto cheat.
I have to eat dairy free due to a mild allergy, they did inform me the cauliflower crust has dairy so we did the gluten friendly crust and plant based cheese.
My issue is that the signature tomato sauce had visible cheese in it and the employee didn't ask if I wanted a separate thing of the sauce and almost grabbed sauce with cheese mixed in.
If you are a devoted vegan or have issues with dairy cross contact please avoid this place.

If you’re looking for a higher-end spot to eat in downtown Colorado Springs, this market is a yummy spot. Their menu indicates what dishes can be made gluten free and the staff seemed aware of cross contact. They also have many grab and go options, some of which are gluten free.
Cannot recommend this place enough for anyone with celiac. It is pricy, but the food is amazing and they have some of the softest gluten free buns. They also have dedicated fryers, TATER TOTS, and all their sauces are gluten free. Ordering the salmon burger with no glaze, gf bun, tater tot’s and the aioli for dipping is my fave!
We went here because they offer gluten free options. The pizza was just ok — didn’t live the crust. The Reuben was quite good - I like mine with mustard instead of thousand island, so got it like that.
This is a great local restaurant. The food is always good, as is the service. It's a small place and can be busy on the weekends. Some dishes can run out on busy nights. They offer a gluten-free menu.
My top favorite restaurant in the Springs! The staff is always so friendly & helpful when ordering, and making sure everything is good!
I have celiacs and unable to eat gluten and I love that I am able to still enjoy their food, they also have the most delicious Sage tea and coffee ☺
Super good, give them a try! Also located by lots of local attractions
An extensive menu with options for gluten free in toast, French toast or pancakes. A small uncharge but so nice to have the options. Large portions and inexpensive so a great value. Food tasted great as well.
Very glad to have tried this restaurant for the first time. Extensive Vegan, Gluten Free, and Vegetarian options. We ordered 5 dishes, everything was amazing, also staff was very friendly and our take-out order was ready promptly. Will absolutely return and highly recommend.
The staff was super friendly and made suggestions. We ate outside with some wonderful weather. I got the classic skirted heifer, my wife got the skirted heifer on a bed of lettuce since she is gluten free. We split an order of sweet potato fries. We liked those so much we got another order to go. I highly recommend making this a stop for a meal.
My husband and I usually order takeout, but their food is delicious! 🤤 You will not be disappointed. My husband is all celiac and cannot eat gluten, and he’s never had any exposure or problems after eating here.
A great place for gluten free food! The wrap was good and all the pastry items were GF so no worries about cross contamination, plus they were good! The berry crumble cake item was amazing 👏
Dedicated waffle iron but the server said they offer gluten sensitive and not gf. I confirmed eggs are not cooked on shared service. I got the gf waffle with eggs etc. When served the waitress did not confirm it was GF nor was it marked with a stick or anything but as soon as I took a bite I knew it was GF. It had a cornbread flavor vs Belgium waffle taste but it wasn’t bad. I have celiac but I am not sensitive so I can’t be a good judge of cc. I’d recommend for gluten free but if you have celiac just be mindful of the cc risk and ask lots of questions.
Very warm welcome. People of all ages were here, and it was a genuine space. I am a very picky eater, it was my first time trying this food which I usually don't do. I had gotten my driver's license next door and was hungry! I got the burrito with sausage. Super yummy! Would try again if I get the chance. They also had a small little window for baked goods, I think I'll try the cinnamon roll next time. They had veggie quiche & gluten free options in the bakery window as well! It was $11 give or take for my burrito!
Amazing food!!
We each got a different dish and then shared them each other. All three were amazing. The Italian sodas were good too. I recommend the strawberry one.
They have GF sensitive options. But since there is flour in the air in the kitchen, they said it is not celiac friendly. I appreciate that they put that right in their menu.
Truly exceptional, the gluten-free menu has many choices, and everything was so fresh and seasoned just right. I would have loved to try dessert, but I was too full to order any. Proportions are definitely filling. The wait staff are very friendly, although we did have to ask for refills a couple of times.
Excellent food and service from our waitress Jamie! I am gluten free and appreciate the food options and thorough attention to detail so my food is not contaminated. Also... order the Ginger Beer, it's yummy!
Pricy but delicious place for breakfast or lunch! We got the gluten free French toast flight which they make with canyon bakehouse white bread + their breakfast bowls that are naturally gluten free. They cook gluten free orders in a different area of the griddle, change gloves and modify dishes as needed to ensure they are gluten free.
Alright alright! I am just gonna say it. This is the absolute best BBQ chain out there. If you know of something better, please let me know. We had the wet brisket, pulled pork, half chicken, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, fries, and cornbread. If there was a place that makes me angry about my human limits to eat, it's this food. Plus, the majority of their food is gluten free friendly, which is absolutely amazing!
Warm and welcoming team. Great food. Very dilly Avgolemono (Lemon Chicken Soup) Greek soup. Gluten free options are available. My partner (not gluten-free) crushed the Lamb Gyro. Great venue, great food and service. A must try.
Love that they have gluten free soy sauce and lots of gluten free options. They are pricier than some sushi places nearby but do have higher quality ingredients imo.
I just went for the first time today(05/18/2023)! The staff was lovely!!! They were so kind, helpful, and friendly. Asseniya(I am positive I spelt that wrong I’m sorry) was wonderful and so was Dylan! They really made our day and I will definitely be back!! I also have a gluten allergy so was so happy to see all the gluten free options. Thank y’all for such a great experience!!
The food is great and they are very careful when I tell them I am celiac. I just wish the delicious bbq was chopped up more instead of being mostly a glob and not chopped up as mych most places . All in all it was excellent though.
