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).
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!
If you’re looking for a JUICY gluten free fried chicken sandwich, this is the place! All their fried chicken is gluten free and they only fry gluten free items. They have some gluten in the restaurant (like gluten buns) but are careful with cross contact. My chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside, super juicy on the inside, and the gluten free bun was fluffy and held together well. The tater tots were super crispy and our food came out quickly. Will def be back!
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 !
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.
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.
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 👏
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!
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!!
This is a great place for anyone with food allergies. They have a fully laminated binder with every ingredient for each menu item and the staff wash hands and change gloves if they are dealing with an allergen. They have celiac safe gluten free options as well as soy free options! We'll be going here again.
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.
Best gluten free crust I’ve had! Toppings were fresh and plentiful.
We only picked up to-go but the staff was friendly and the dining area looked very nice.
We will definitely be back.
So glad that me and my husband gave this place a try! When we picked up the staff were so nice and food was ready when we got there. My half salad was still super filling and the chickpea pizza crust was a great alternative for my gluten free husband. We will be back:)
I absolutely LOVE Santanas! A great menu, and they even have a gluten free only menu, so you don’t have to search through it! This was our second time here, and won’t be our last!
The whole entire staff is high. My friend is gluten free because of serious allergies and they served her gluten after they told her it wasn’t. She ate a pizza and a half and started feeling sick as they refused to serve her the correct pizza. The manager had an attitude and didn’t take the time to come talk to us and had to ask multiple times to see him. The food was also trash.
Great food and service! Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. There is plenty of seating and they pizza comes out quick. Plus they are Gluten friendly! Best mod pizza I've been to.
The employees are so great here! The main reason I eat here is because they have a good gluten free bun and delicious food all around. I switch between the burger and veggie burger. My family and I eat here often!
They have gluten free and/or dairy free ice cream flavors clearly marked on the main menu and keep sealed pints of each flavor for allergy orders that they use a clean scooper for. The employee was super educated on allergens & happy to take the extra couple minutes to get my ice cream from the separate pint. We loved my gluten & dairy free pb chocolate ice cream & my bf’s salted peanut butter ice cream!
Delightful! Simply delightful! The food was wonderful and so fresh! The momos were extremely tasty, the pakora was next level and the Tibetan noodles were sublime! Our server was totally awesome and helpful. She made all the adjustments for dietary restrictions. Vegan, gluten free, etc. were no problem. The interior was spotless and beautiful. I would recommend this place for any occasion. I would give it 6 stars if that were possible.
Great pizza for a reasonable price. Their website makes it easy to place an order for delivery or pickup at a certain time and they had my order ready to go right on arrival. The gentleman behind the counter and I talked a little smack on the Bills and we had a good laugh. The gluten free crust was fantastic, crispy and light which is hard to do even with a thin crust. The buffalo chicken had just the right kick. Would definitely come back again.

This was a pleasant surprise! We stopped in for a quick lunch. We knew it was a pub, and when we arrived it was mostly empty. That quickly changed as it filled up for lunch hour. There's plenty of free parking nearby.
The food was absolutely delicious. Unusual options made it an interesting menu. My Caesar salad had a generous portion of perfectly-cooked chicken, and a wonderful lemony dressing.
Others in our group were pleased to get gluten free pizza and said it was also very good.
The service was prompt and pleasant as well. We will definitely be back.

I am hoping the Owner finds this review. ATTN: If you are diagnosed with celiac disease or are sensitive with food allergies - avoid this restaurant. The kitchen staff is sloppy and careless. In all fairness, I am not sure what this restaurant is like when you dine-in. Once or twice per month, I order grilled shrimp tacos to-go when I’m on my home from north academy. One time, a piece of a plastic glove was underneath one of the tacos. The manager asked me to text her a picture of it. I was worried it was a condom, but she assured me it was a glove because it looked exactly like their brand of kitchen gloves. She refunded me and promised it wouldn’t happen again. Thankfully, it didn’t. I continued getting to-go orders with no issues. However, today, I ordered the same shrimp tacos with a side cup of queso. The queso looked normal, it always comes topped with jalapeños. I seen a chunk of something but figured it was a piece of jalapeno. As I kept eating, I realized it was not jalapeños, but instead, beef (or something else, no one knows). I’m not totally sure what it is, but it looks like uncooked beef. Immediately, I called the restaurant to inform them. I wanted to know if it was chorizo or beef, or something else, and if I should prepare to get sick because I did eat part the queso surrounding it. This is when they informed me that I did “not pay enough” for my to-go order. Baro, the bartender, told me the order was $22.09. I gave him $23.00. He said, “I will be right back with your change.” I replied, “no change, thank you!” When I spoke with management, Kiera, I was told I didn’t pay him enough. I’m like, what? Why would he tell me $22.09 then tell me that he’s going to get change? They recently changed their menu and no longer serve black beans or white rice (which I always ordered) so I didn’t know if the price changed. I didn’t even think to question it since he accepted my money, then offered to get change - the remaining 91 cents. It was beyond inappropriate and insulting considering I am sitting here in a state of panic over uncooked meat in my queso. The same state of panic I was in when I found a piece of plastic glove under my taco. Not to mention, I have stage one CKD and try to avoid meat. Avoid this restaurant if you have food allergies or are celiac because I can’t imagine any requests taken seriously in the kitchen. Management needs to take a course on customer service. UCCS is nearby, perhaps the Owner can pay for their class.
