Top 28 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Downtown Colorado Springs

Candy Nakajima

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).

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.

I have Celiac, also allergic to dairy, eggs, and soy. They looked up all the ingredients in the gluten-free bun to make sure it was safe for me. The fries are also safe as they are fried in a separate frier from the onion rings. My burger was cooked to perfection. The service was superb! Everything was amazing. Definitely check them out❤️🙏

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.

Regina Guccione

Inviting, cozy atmosphere, stellar menu with huge variety, and friendly, welcoming staff. Nearly everything on the menu comes gluten free or can be made gluten free! Great for breakfast, brunch, amd lunch!

A cool location of a great ice cream business. Employees are friendly and helpful. Every flavor is terrific (one of the family plans to have tried them all before moving). Because they design and make their own recipes, you will get to have perfect versions of familiar faves (cookies and cream, strawberry) and flavors you can't find anywhere else (Purple Mountain Majesty). Don't be afraid of their allergen-free options. If they can't make a flavor taste great as dairy-free, they don't sell a DF version. They have yummy options without dairy, without gluten, without both. On our afternoon visit it was easy to sit and talk with friends and enjoy a cool treat on one of the first hot days of summer. Sign up for their digital punch cards when they offer. You will be back, so you might as well start earning rewards.

Ordered 2 gluten free pizzas Friday night for pick up. Pros the pizzas taste amazing, the flavors were complimentary and the crust was fairly good for a gluten free crust. Cons: they were $40 each! For 2 large pizzas I payed $81+ . I do not believe that the quality of the pizzas were at the level of $20+ per pizza. Yes they were good, but almost $90 for two pies is ridiculous. Lesson learned I will not be ordering from here again.

What a fun little spot! We were visiting from out of town and I was craving some fries and my husband wanted a really good burger. The Green Line didn't disappoint! I have food allergies so I was happy to learn they have a dedicated gluten free fryer for the fries. I also had the green chili and used it as a dip for the fries. It was delicious! My husband went back for a second night in a row for a burger and said they were great! There was only one person we interacted with, but he was friendly and helpful.

Amazing! Great atmosphere with superb staff! The food and drinks were perfect! Slight adjustment made it Celiac safe!

Gluten-intolerants/celiacs stay away! My partner and I chose this pub because the menu was clearly labeled for food allergies, so we thought it would be safe — NO. We ordered GF items but weren’t feeling well before we left the restaurant and spent the next 1.5 days sick, nauseous and in pain. Absolutely horrible! And the food itself was subpar — very oily and bland. I’m not sure what happened but we definitely won’t be back. PS We aren’t celiacs, but are gluten intolerant. Not a fan of leaving poor reviews, but I’d never want someone else to get this sick!

White Pie is The Spot for pizza SO dang good, you can't even tell the difference between their gluten-free and gluten-full pies. Sam was a hands down top notch server, def ask for her!

As someone with strict dietary needs due to a medical condition, dining out is something I rarely do — not because I don’t enjoy it, but because the anxiety that comes with asking for special accommodations can be overwhelming. Most of the time, I leave restaurants feeling like a burden, or worse, unsafe about what I’ve eaten. But today was different. I visited this restaurant not knowing what to expect, and what I found was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable without me even needing to explain anything first. After a thoughtful conversation with the kitchen and staff, they recommended a gluten-free grilled chicken sandwich (something that’s off menu)— and let me tell you, it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever had. Every component was delicious, and it was clear that care went into not just the preparation, but the entire process of making it safe for me to enjoy. They didn’t rush me, didn’t treat me like a problem, and didn’t make me feel “different.” Instead, they treated me like a valued guest. This experience gave me something I don’t often get at restaurants: peace of mind — and even joy. I left feeling full, not just from the food, but from the kindness and dignity with which I was treated. If you have dietary restrictions, or even if you just want a great meal made with care, I can’t recommend this place enough. They’ve earned not just my business, but my gratitude. I wish I would have gotten everyone’s names so I can name them directly, but everyone was just so kind which can be hard to find these days. Thank you.

I am celiac and can't do dairy or shellfish either. The wait staff are very good about understanding the nuances and the food is delicious. They informed me that the chips are fried in the same fryer as gluten but my meals have been excellent. They are friendly and attentive, the drinks are delicious too. One of my safe places!
