Solid options for gluten free, tasty eats

Marla Cohen

This is a great place to eat. I was curious about for their fried oyster mushrooms and they were other worldly delicious. We shares with our tablemates and everyone enjoyed them. We had a small bowl of their vegan posole which was very flavorful and satisfying and filing. We shared their falafel wrap which was packed with great fillings and three or four falafel balls. Also very satisfying. My complaint may be aged based as I'm older, and also I also used to work in the food industry. This is a counter service restaurant. You get everything yourself, they bring out the food. Explain to me why at the end of purchase, there is an automatic 18% tip? You can change it, they suggest 20% or 25% (FOR NO SERVICE) and right below a button to customize or offer no tip. I am not going to be a shmuck and not tip at all, but starting at 18%? I gave 10%. I've watched the industry deal with wage issues. I know the margins are thin for restaurants. Maybe it is hitting me more since we just came back from Spain, where there is a different price for sit down verses bar and no tipping (and a whole different culture of how we care for people). But assuming 18% or more tip for counter service is audacious. Will I recommend this place? Yes. This is a great addition to vegan/vegetarian and gluten free food scene in Denver. They also offer chicken and fish and pork for the meat eaters. It's cool and hip and welcoming. The food is tasty. Try it.

Go to spot, delicious food with interesting flavors combinations that have me coming back! Safe for gluten free and took other allergies very seriously!

Kate Hazel

Service was fantastic! They were quick to seat us even though they were busy. The menu had so many options from omelets to pancakes to eggs Benedict’s! Plus gluten free!!! I got the flight of pancakes gluten free and they were soft as pillows and so amazingly delicious. My hubby ordered a burrito and it was ginormous! He lives spicy food and their hot sauce had his “bald spot sweating” (his words 🤣). Christine also offered us multiple options for things to do in the area and places to see. It was an extraordinary experience!

Conner Lyapunov

the food was pretty okay!! unfortunately they were out of all of their lemonades which was a bummer :( otherwise they’re good with gluten free accommodations (on pizza and and sandwiches)

Came here because of ads about the fried chicken! I haven’t had a real life chicken parmesan in years due to my gluten allergy but always craved one and was so excited to order it, my partner got the meatloaf and they loved it as did I my chicken parmesan though I wish it was pasta instead of squash but I can understand at least they had this option for me. The gluten free desserts were delicious, the chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter tart were to die for and we had their zero proof cocktail spicy margarita which was very flavorful to the point where we weren’t sure if it was NA! The cocktail was a big highlight for me, I could definitely come here again and try some more things off the menu!

It’s order at the front, then they bring items to the table for you. If you like Kombucha, they have a rotating homemade Kombucha flavor which they make very well. I always leave here with my tummy feeling great. I do think the portions are on the small side, so come here if you want to feel light after eating. So many delicious gluten free options, and the staff are attentive to your dietary needs which I really appreciate

Paige Beach

Fly to Denver just to eat here. Outstanding gluten free options including pancakes, fries, soup. This place has 3 kitchens! One dedicated gf, one for vegetarian and a regular kitchen. Everyone around us raved about their food. It’s great to find a place that is gf and yummy for my non-gf friends. Eric was a fantastic waiter! We will stop by every time we come through!

Danni Hayes

I ordered one of just about every gluten free appetizer since they have a dedicated fryer. Everything was so delicious and the service was awesome! Also recommend the wedge salad mmmMMmm

Caitlin Kirby

Holden was excellent and very attentive. He had great knowledge about the desserts and what was gluten and dairy free. Wonderful experience.

Autumn Jensen

I love this place! The food is great! The service is amazing! Highly recommend! Especially if you are gluten free and like pancakes!

Josh Eaton

Only go here for dessert and cocktails! This place has the samw quality of food as Applebee's. I ordered the balsamic Ribeye and while the balsamic was a nice touch to the flavor of the steak. The cut amd cook was identical to Applebee's. The mashed potatoes were no better than apples bees. My kids ribs and other kids grilled cheese where like Applebee's quality. I was shocked. Adding balsamic to a steak doesnt justified a $10 price increase over Applebee's. The cocktails were really good and they have a separate gluten free menu which is nice. Gluten free souffle was also delicious. I will be back but only for drinks and dessert.

Carlos Hernandez

Had dinner here not too long ago & made sure that there were items on the menu that were gluten free as my girlfriend has Celiac Disease. When we were sat, my girlfriend asked what items are gluten free (to be 100% safe) and he said "just tell me what you want and I'll see." then she asked if he's our waiter or someone else and he said "we all help each other". Ok. Then the wine list arrives and my gf then had to ask the gal helping us with wine what is gluten friendly on the menu. She was SUPER helpful. Clearly the gal that helped my gf with wine confronted 'our waiter' because for the rest of the night, he was overcompensating and being awkwardly talkative. We just wanted our food at that point. Then on top of all of those awkward interactions with our waiter.... he charged us for an extra bottle of wine we didn't drink. I then had to flag down a member of the staff to initiate a return/bill again while our Uber was out front waiting for this. Spent $500 on dinner which was great BUT the experience with the waiter ruined it. Cherry Creek Grill is the better choice, their staff is ON POINT.

Eddie Baisden

Super cozy place, especially at night. For cocktails, this is as good as a speakeasy when you want the bartenders to make interesting drinks. I always want to be surprised and always am with the amazing cocktail creations! As for food, I recommend the French Dip but get the gluten free bread. The roll is better than the regular one. Hope you have as much fun as I do here!

Ashley Bryant

The gluten free pizza is the best I have ever had. I love that the chicken strips are gluten free too. The brownie is to die for I absolutely love this place and staff is always nice and friendly.

Greg Wright

Relaxed atmosphere. Great variety in menu - breakfast and lunch for options of all kinds of diets… including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Service fast and friendly. Food is exceptional - there were three of us and we all remarked on how delicious it was. Highly recommended.

Kimmie Mirto

The best gluten free bread ever!! Dedicated fryers!!

Kimberly Ippolito Leonard

Safe for celiacs! They have separate prep areas for their gluten and GF foods, dedicated pans, and make everything from scratch. They have a shared fryer, but serve corn tortilla chips that are made off site in a GF facility.

Marlene Meiring

Pricey but great food. Awesome gluten free options.

Natalie

Hehehe excellent experience. As a celiac, I was hesitant to come here after just seeing the menu, but I read other reviews saying they were celiac safe and was not disappointed! The gluten free bun was delicious, and the fries were fried in a separate fryer. Oh how I've missed a good burger and fries! They also took care to not cross contaminate on the milkshake, and they take other allergies seriously as well! The bison burger was delicious and our entire party was satisfied.

Colby Rogers-Plott

Stopped by for tacos and bottomless mimosas for a lunch and was impressed with the gluten free/celiac options! Will definitely be bringing friends here for happy hour and great food!

Brittni Duran

chicken and waffles is to die for, but really every dish I've had here is amazing!

Amber Kuspiel

Their gluten-free options are amazing! Especially the pancakes, my non gluten free family love them too!

Kim Cook

A little loud, only a 15 minute wait. Food is fantastic! My daughter loves the gluten free pancakes!

Kimberly Gaddie

Gluten Free

Sara Van Hooreweghe

Gorgeous, creative atmosphere! Delicious, flavorful menu items! Amazing gluten free options. Wonderful service!

Harry Uberti

Snooze is the best breakfast spot in Boulder. The menu is diverse, the food is amazing, and the service is always good. Gluten free options, too

Lori K.

Great place for breakfast after getting off the train from Denver airport. Also appreciated the gluten free options for pancakes and bread.

mrvambox

Best gluten free bread ever

Melissa Fleming

Great meal, even though this is a chain restaurant, it doesn't taste that way. Bison steak was cooked to perfection and great selection for gluten free diner

dylan mendes

Good Mexican food. They did good takeout. They did miss one of our things of tortillas. But they were able to do gluten free for one of my friends who is celiac.

Kelly J

Love eating at Flower Child. Their gluten free options are endless and delicious. The service is fast and it's easy to get in and out for a work lunch.

Amanda Sakach

Everything was amazing! From the super friendly staff to the gluten free options and a robust menu of delicious options. Found this spot randomly and will definitely be coming back!

Cody Imel

Great little breakfast and brunch shop. Cozy atmosphere. Saw them really cleaning down the benches and tables which was really nice. The omelettes were very good and so were the pancakes. All pancakes and waffles can be made gluten-free which was why we went there. We love this place

Rosie Kay

The waitress was really forgetful, didn't tell us about the lunch special, or ask about desert until asked, was always missing, had to wave down the hostess to go find her when she forgot our sides. And the burgers were dry. The gluten free bun tasted like a dry sponge. Maybe they could use it to clean the disgusting bathrooms. Sewage was coming out of the back of every toilet and the ground was stickier than in a club. Won't come back.

Jen Maraia Blair

We had such an exceptional experience for my mom's 65th birthday last night! Mikey took care of us at a booth in the bar area, and he truly made our dinner special and took amazing care of us. I wanted to specially recognize him for that. The card, dessert, and rose all made my mom feel really special, and I was amazed at all that was done to make her birthday extra special. The food (filet mignon) was tender and delicious as always. We also really love the gf flatbread pizzas. If you want an upscale meal done well, this is the place! We especially love the allergen friendly menus as we are gluten sensitive. Highly recommend this place!

Malachi O'Neill

Honestly, I was hesitant at first. Being told it was vegan and gluten free i was fully expecting to have to go get an after-dinner burger somewhere else. I was very pleasantly proven wrong in my assumption. The Korean Bison Ribs were amazing, best I've had, and massive serving. The salmon looked amazing and I'll get that next time. Highly recommend.

Nancy Deal-Whitacre

My favorite place to eat at DIA- friendly service, reasonable prices, and gluten free bread and cookies!!

Rowan Hallahan

We had Megan as our server and they were phenomenal! I have a gluten allergy and they were very helpful and careful with that, 10/10 for them and their service. As for the food, delicious and I never have a problem with my allergy here. Bring back the gf churro pancake!!

RWL

I had a pretty good burger but they did not have gluten free buns, which is odd for a craft burger joint. The fries were good but a little salty. The service was ok. The bar drinks were good.

Kara Teninja

They have an entire gluten free menu which was a surprise and was very helpful. The service from our waitress was excellent, warm and kind. It was a nice place even on a busy Sunday, no annoying music playing like other restaurants!

Mari Slemons

Such a lovely atmosphere at the Walnut Cafe. Our waitress was so sweet to talk to. Delicious gluten free pancakes! The side of fruit was so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the veggie egg-white omelette as well! (The peppers inside were very fresh)

Shabana

Gluten free options. I was told to come here but to be honest, it isn’t anything special. Definitely over priced for what we got. The poor server was the only one and she seemed to have the whole restaurant. She was very kind. food was meh. not memorable.

Jessica Fields

Excellent food and service! Everyone loved their meal and the drinks were creative and delicious! They easily accommodated gluten free needs as well

Alicia Homsher-Bozied

Surprisingly not a good selection of gluten free options, but the food is still good. The wedge salad does some with beats (which is a fun twist) but the thousand island dressing is a big no. The steak was perfect and the artichokes were so much fun! Def getting those next time.

Scott VanKirk

My last trip to the pancake House was a bit of a letdown. The food was uninspired. There are places where you can get a much better breakfast for the same price . With food service and atmosphere all getting three stars. You might wonder how or why I'm giving it four stars. It gets four stars for carrying gluten-free pancakes. They were one of the first in the area and that will always give me a soft spot with regards to them. Nothing there was bad, but it was uninspired. My wife disagrees with this review, she thought it was fantastic. I think what's going on here is my tastes have changed as I've gotten older and can't just scarf down a breakfast of pancakes with syrup.

If you look at the world through a child's eyes, you will be full of wonder and joy, especially entering into this spot. The Rabbit Hole transports you into Alice in Wonderland incredible experience. Now we have more reason to return to Colorado Springs. The entrance itself will beckon you to explore and enjoy lingering a bit longer than expected. Situated in downtown, you'll find the telephone booth with stairs leading to an unforgettable adventurous experience. There is whimsical renditions of Alice in Wonderland decor and art work. With little nooks and corners tucked with great views of the restaurant, atop, main floor, back room, there isn't any bad seat. Gets really happening around happy hour so I recommend reservations. I simply couldn't resist the White Rabbit Martini. Who doesn't want their drink on fire with a toasted marshmallow awaiting at the end of the concoction? The babe had the Cherry Limeade which has a gummy slice as the garnish (not your childhood limeade). Also big fan of the T Party margarita that blends tequila and coconut rum for a drink bound to leave you smiling nonstop. Big fan of their numerous gluten free entree choices. WOW, I am speechless. The duck confit is so filling, rich with flavor and a fattiness my belly loved. The babe had their chicken cordon bleu and couldn't stop raving about it. Our other choice would be the bison short ribs. Was disappointed didn't get to have dessert because there wasn't gluten free option other than gelato. They say if you are just a little playful with life, every moment is a celebration. Celebrate the small wins. Big wins. Every win.

Miranda Idol

Great place! Celiac friendly place. Breakfast came in generous portions, which is awesome because I love having them the next day. Service was fantastic, even with them being busy (went around noon.) Lots of options to choose from.

Casey Cromwell

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.

Leann Johnson

Love the pancake flights. They do a good job with gluten free. Service was a little slow as they seemed preoccupied.
