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).
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 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!
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 !
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!
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.
Wow, what a gem!!! The food was absolutely incredible. Chef Ingrid is so gifted and brilliant! Loved getting to hear her wisdom and approach. We had the best time! I highly recommend trying her OG Panang curry, street food Pad Thai, and chicken lollipops. The matcha strawberry tiramisu was super wonderful. Awesome spot for anyone with gluten allergy too! Can't wait to go back!
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!
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.

Are you looking for a flavorful food experience surrounded by beautiful art and pictures all served with love and care? Yes, you will find it here! The seasonings perfectly complement the healthy foods. The service from the owner is genuine care and concern for you and your meal. Most of the foods are also gluten free! Try this hidden gem!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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!

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.
This place is so cute. It makes you just want to go in! They have the ability to make almost every thing on the menu gluten-free, including the fish and chips!
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:)
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.
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!
Me and my husband ate here last week. We got our food and we had to wait along time to get our gluten-free pita bread. Once they gave it to us it had mildew all over it. That means that the employee knew it had mildew on it and still cooked it with the mildew and served it to us. The manager gave us coupons for buy one free! We are never eating here again! I threw those coupons in the trash!
Their gluten free pizza is great and my husband likes the regular pizza crust as well. I just wish that they had indoor dinning because we have to drive all the way from the west side and then drive back instead of being able to eat the pizza hot and fresh at the restaurant.
We came in from out of town and stopped in. They have a gluten free sub on the menu. After beginning to eat it, we were told by the server that our order was mixed up and we should stop eating it as it was not gluten free.
Management refused to give us a refund on the food that they messed up as well as food that makes people sick. If you have a gluten allergy, stay away. They do not care about your health of you or your loved ones.
Used to be a great place. I'll never be back. Management was not in and they had to be called by workers. They told us their manager said they wouldnt refund because "they swapped it." Complete joke. What a fall from grace by horrible management!
Update: no call from manager. They really do not care about your buinsess here.
Can't say enough nice things about 420 Slice Oro Blanco! It was our first visit but it won't be our last!! This place was hopping and it is quickly apparent why. The service is outstanding and the pizza & salads are delicious. Great variety and gluten free options. Thank you Michael, Devin & Elijah for such a wonderful evening out. See you again
Wonderful service from our server Arora! This young lady went above and beyond! They have a wonderful section for gluten free only and gluten free pasta substitutes!
Mom has celiacs disease where she can’t have gluten and it is severe enough where her food can’t touch bread. Told the cashier, young kid who looked new, that one of the burgers is an allergy and stated protein style. He only entered protein style without notating allergen. Lettuce burger came in same bag as my regular burger and they were touching. Manager offered to remake it . The only issue is that the remake took 10 more minutes as they were slinging orders out the door. In my mind remakes should jump the line and be the next thing made. Overall I’ll be back, but consider not having your customers wait for a wrong order and then wait again for a remake on a busy Saturday night.
Self-serve beer joint with multiple craft beers on tap - you pay for what is dispensed, tracked with a card. They also have some mixed drinks on tap and gluten-free beers in cans. The gluten-free pizza on cauliflower crust was excellent.
Highly recommend this place! Atmosphere was great and family friendly. I am gluten and dairy free and the server was knowledgeable and helpful to find options for me. Their cider is delicious!!! Food was great and we would recommend!

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.
Pretty basic Italian food. There are some gluten free options but overall pretty "mid" as the kids would say. My daughter's meatballs were dry, I ordered the cod special and the fish was super fresh, the picata was good with fresh capers and not salty. The salmon is farmed but grateful the waitress was knowledgeable on the food.
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.
