INCREDIBLE. Love all the flavors and toppings. Def best eaten fresh in restaurant but I’ve also reheated in air fryer at home.

Delicious cinnamon rolls and super convenient locations next to Mountain Mama Natural Foods, a natural health store.

I order online. I haven't been to their store. I had given up every being able to EVER have a sandwich again. About a year ago, someone had recommended Outside the bread box bagels. The bagels are the best gf bagels I've ever had. After that i ordered the raisin bread. I loved the raisin bread even more than the bagels. (The other breads are fine but too small for me to make a sandwhich). After wasting so much money on products i end up not liking, i was afraid to try their sandwhich rolls. FINALLY, I caved and ordered one pack. I should have done it years ago. These are the best sandwich rolls I've ever had. I'm pretty sure they are better than rolls with gluten. That's gow fantastic they are. I'm so happy that i can have sandwhiches again. It's a sinple pleasure that i have missed. A couple of other things: 1.) I have never had an issue with my order. 2.) there are no instructions on the website or on the labels, about how to store the products. I freeze them until i need them like i do with all gf products.

These donuts are great! I was shocked that they are gluten free. Might be the first gluten free thing I have eaten that doesn’t taste like cardboard. Please open one and n south Denver, Parker, Highlands Ranch, etc.

Lauren Mendoza

Deliciousness!! We tried all the gf sweet treats, and all were excellent! Eclairs were my favorite! They were so beautifully made and presented. Culinary perfection, and the coffees and lattes are all wonderful too!

Chelsea Tollis

This is our absolute favorite. The food is wonderful and the staff is even better. We’re here a few times a week, and son with celiac loves the gluten free bread.

Jessamy Johnson

After being given a Sasquatch cookie by a friend, I rushed over to buy more! So delicious! Perfect texture. Cute store. They even have a gluten-free cookie. Go get some!

Zack Moxley

This is a small and wonderful little health food store. The prices are pretty bad, even for a health food store, so if you can find what you need somewhere else, go somewhere else. But the beauty of Mountain Mama is that they carry a lot of products that are difficult to find elsewhere, especially for those with sensitivities to gluten, dairy, etc. The staff are very nice and chill, and they've got some great in-house baked products.

I recently ordered a cake for my friend's birthday. She is terminally ill, and this was going to be her last birthday, so it needed to be extra special. She really loves sunshine and unicorns and rainbows, so I asked for the most over-the-top, ridiculously fun cake they can make, and boy did The Cupcake Doctor deliver! We got an absolutely amazing cake. Beautifully decorated and DELICICIOUS (and gluten free!). 10,000 Stars, would buy again, couldn't be happier.

Matt Jacobs

Awesome place! Food, coffee, and atmosphere was on point. Thier menu is celiac friendly which was amazing for my wife who got to have her first GF breakfast burrito in way too long (it was amazing)! 11/10

Genevieve North

What a cute cafe!!! You can eat inside if you choose. The cupcakes looked so delectable sitting in the display case. They offer gluten-free options for every flavor. Absolutely wonderful

Carriann Johnson

I’m on the hunt for the best gluten free donut. This was my first stop. They’ve set the bar quite high…. High in taste, texture and price. (Literally). $5.00 for a basic gluten free donut is outrageous. Doubt I’ll be back based on price alone but this is a great “splurge” donut. Super tasty, moist and has me craving more!!!

Casey Tallant (iamtallanted)

Sugarplum did our wedding cake, and from start to finish they were amazing! From the tastings (I did multiple and they were patient while we made our final decision) to the final cake, everything was delicious. They accommodated my gluten and dairy free requests and made a stunning almond wedding cake with cherry and a dairy free buttercream filling and it was moist and delicious and perfectly layered. Not too sweet, beautiful combination with the tart cherries. They also made some special gluten and dairy free mini cupcakes for our guests which I also tried and were delicious as well. Thank you Amanda and team for the awesome wedding desserts I recommend!!

Haelli

Awesome little bakery! First of all, their cakes and treats are delicious. We had a couple custom bday cakes made and they were both delicious. I even got my mom a gluten free brownie so she could have something to enjoy with us and she said it was amazing! Next though, I have to say their customer service is what really sold me. We had a small mishap with the decor on our second custom cake, and they fixed the situation without me having to even ask. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you for such a great experience. I will definitely be back!

James McDaniel

It’s exactly what you’d expect from a good old fashioned southern mom and pop diner: generous portions made from scratch with a bustling atmosphere. Breakfast was made from scratch (good gluten free options available). The cinnamon roll was not the best I’ve ever had, I dislike cream cheese icing on my cinnamon rolls (it’s not natural!). The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly and enriched with flavor. Biscuits were too fluffy, not enough crunch in the biscuits and flavor in the gravy for my taste. Seating is limited with a first come first served system. There are booths lining the walls of the restaurant with community tables that are shared among all persons in the middle. Wait times could be stretched as the establishment isn’t robust. The wait staff does their best to keep up and are friendly but demand can outpace supply very quickly. Overall Sandy’s decent food, small town vibe, and ease of access makes it a good place to eat.

Audrey

Me and my family really love the little bundt cakes! They have all kinds of different ones including a gluten free one or a dairy free one! I would definitely go back for another one😋

A.E Mitchell

Delicious would be an understatement! These were such a treat and we will definitely be returning!! I love that there is something for everyone, I have a little one with allergies and the gluten free cookie was perfect for him.

Suzanne Reizovic

I have a gluten intolerance and was afraid of getting sick. I did not!!! I almost cried eating a baguette and did not become ill!!! Wonderful place❤️❤️

Mark Holzrichter (Mark)

The employees at this store have earned a perfect review. The Service counter guys have helped me find items my wife wanted that I'd never heard of. The Deli folks slice the meat exactly like I request and ask if a sample looks right. The Produce folks are knowledgeable and quick to look in back if I don't see what I want. The Cashiers quickly make adjustments if I see an issue with a coupon I had. We started shopping here because they had more gluten free things then another store.

Tracie Ernest

lots of gluten free and organic at a good price

Alex Beard (Obsessive Costuming Dude)

Sssoooo many amazing-looking cookies it was hard to choose! We appreciated both that they had gluten-free options AND were open until 9:00 PM, since it seems many gluten-free bakeries close around 5:00. Parking was annoying (25¢ per minute, really? And ONLY coins???) but that isn't their fault. We plan to be back for more wonderful cookies!

Nate Thompson

I’ve had a lot of pizza but this pizza was out of this world. The toppings were very good, but the crust was the best crust I’ve ever had on Neapolitan-American pizza. Definitely worth ordering. I had the spicy Rico and tried the a slice of the porcupine pizza as well. The crust was light and airy with a fabulously bubbly crust that showed an irregular gluten structure characteristic of not overworking the dough. The crust was charred perfectly to add an excellent smoky character. The care for grain was evident and the grain flavor was the star of the show when it came to the crust.

Lorna

Purchased 320 of these for a grand opening event and they were all individually packaged- but for whatever reason, they did not put on any identifying stickers/logos, so there was no way to tell where they came from, or even what type of cookie it was - even the dozen gluten free ones were not labeled. I contacted Brook who was assisting me with the order (who was great up until this point) and she just had someone at the shop call me back to relay she’d give me 15% off, she didn’t even try to address what had happened or even had the decency to call me back directly. What a shame, would have been a great FREE marketing opportunity as well.

Within minutes of my review, the owner replied. That speaks volumes they truly care. We look forward to trying the Cafe again just from the quick response. Bless you and thank you. Don't go here if are Gluten-free. I have been gluten-free for over 8 years due to gluten intolerance and the GF bread here is hard, dense and cold, straight out of the refrigerator and placed on a plate. My husband and I deconstructed our sandwiches and uncomfortably asked to send just the bread back to be toast. It came back still cold and not toasted at all. For those that are Gluten-free, cold, GF, bread is absolutely terrible unless it's from a Quality Bakery that knows GF. This bread was an ice cold brick. However, our waiter was amazing and tried very hard to be accommodating. He could only provide us with what the restaurant has available. A very polite person so we thanked him for his efforts. The salads looked really good though! Me personally, I am so tired of eating just salad. Oh and, the deserts looked absolutely amazing. Wish I could eat gluten. So to sum up this review, the restaurant really needs to find a quality gluten-free Baker because, gluten intolerance is a serious issue for those of us with severe gastrointestinal problems!!! I know, TMI right! Thank you for your time.

Easy in and out with grocery app. I can even find some gluten free items. I always check the marked down rack

Amanda Goodall

I was so impressed with the great selection, at this King Soopers! The produce department was impressive. So many tremendous, fresh choices. Throughout the store, I saw a huge amount of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary alternatives. Their deli department was large with so many options for lunch or dinner. The meat department was immense with lots of poultry, beef, pork, and seafood. The bakery was sizable with the usual King Soopers fare, then I saw the bagels! They carry fresh Einstein Bro’s Bagels. I love bagels, so this was very exciting. They were next to my favorite donuts, so, I may have to make this King Soopers a frequent stop. Everyone was very nice. The store was really clean. This store seems like a stand-out King Soopers. I will definitely be back.

Ian Glycenfer

Amazing food and coffee, awesome gluten free options!

Nancy Hutch

Have one of the best selections of gluten free items.

I am blown away by the efficiency and personability of the curbside delivery crew here at the N. Powers Colo Spgs location - they are happily now my GO - TO CURBSIDE DELIVERY STORE! Safeway consistantly has 89% of my preferred items (that includes gluten/lactose free stuff, and some other non-standard things right now), compared to other grocers in this area. It has a big selection online (more than in the physical stores, I feel - or it's just me missing the extra - large bags of Bob's Red Mill Muslix whenever I do go inside, but really - I think it's the online selection), and the outside delivery service has been steadily and unfailingly top - notch! Their customer service is lightning fast, knowledgeable, polite, covid safe, and yet still communicative - they even knew exactly how the card-swipe machine could get flaky, and knew what to instruct me to do to solve it, before it happened - pro-active AND caring of them! I tip my hat to this store's curbside delivery crew - they are a shining example of customer service at its most pleasant to experience - Give these guys and gals a RAISE, PLEASE!!! They've earned it!!! Go Safeway/Albertsons!

This Safeway is a hidden gem! It's a smaller scale Safeway that makes up for size through service & variety. The Pharmacy and it's Staff are AMAZING!!!! They are always pleasant & greet you right away. My medication is always in stock/ordered on time. The Pharmacy Technician(s) go the EXTRA MILE when it comes to ensuring you get your medication AND for the LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE! There's even a Safeway Rx Discount - just ask!! There's a Wells Fargo inside, allowing patrons to enjoy a full service bank & fulfill shopping needs in 1 convenient stop. As for the Grocery section & Deli, I am pleasantly surprised @ the cleanliness, selection & quality of Safeway's Brands. EXCELLENT selection of WHOLE COFFEE BEANS for those of us who enjoy FRESHLY ground coffee daily. Even LARGER selection of ground coffee, a wide array of K-Cups and plenty of Tea, cider Coco, etc., To meet all of your hot beverage desires. Great experiences @ the Deli, which always slices their QUALITY meats & cheeses to MY Specs. Very nice variety of cold cuts & cheese! Hot foods (including tasty fried chicken!), Olive bar and add'l Artisan section tops off this full service Deli. Decent produce, however ALWAYS examine items for freshness & price (Including onions & other root veggies). Fantastic selection of Frozen Foods! From individual to Bulk, veggies to vanilla ice cream, it's there (including gluten free options). There's always multiple items on​ sale & Safeway Frozen produce is quite good! My biggest disappointment is with the Fresh Meat Section. The fluctuating pricing, lack of variety & low stock of fresh meats - especially beef are frustrating. The Bakery Section could use a bit of sprucing up & a LARGER VARIETY of Freshly Baked items as well as additional brand availability. All in all, this Safeway is my preferred Grocery Store, even with it's few "hiccups" & the bizarrely placed speed bumps in the parking lot.

Eugene Alexeev

Great job labelling gluten free foods.

Lillie Tullison

Love this store. Good selection of gluten free items. Just wish the gluten free items were in one area.

Deena Duncan

I love this store! Always well-stocked, with large produce, meat, seafood, and bakery departments. Excellent gluten-free selection, with well-marked GF selections. Pharmacy with a drive-through, which is awesome in winter. Nice selections of Asian and Hispanic foods, and a large dairy section. There is a Redbox near the pharmacy entrance, and a largish Starbucks near the main entrance. There is a shopping service, which I haven't tried yet, but want to. We really appreciate the Little Clinic in-store if we're sick, especially with the in-store pharmacy.

Lora was our waitress today m. She is so friendly and professional. She helped accommodate us with my husband whose blood sugar was low and brought him a coke very quickly and helped him with the menu as he has celiac’s disease. Lora was amazing and I hope Perkins values her as she is a rare gem!

Colleen “Colleen Ameena”

Good prices, probably better than a close by competitor. Gluten free options, cauliflower pizza crusts, nice selection of organic foods keep me coming back. Busy parking lot, a lot of store walking plus dead end aisles keep me from going more. Staff seems nice. Gas for low price incentives is right across the street.

Becky Ritter

They had gluten free bread! Well organized.

Rebecca Read

Open late, nice employees, and clean. Pretty good selection of gluten-free items
