Top 50 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Aurora

Jesse Huebner

Hard to put words to the experience. The food, the service, the recommendations, the atmosphere, the wine - everything was just perfect. All the dishes are intended to share and make sure you get a good variety including a couple of the large plates. The bass was cooked to perfection and the steak frites were unbelievable, just to name a few of the dishes we tried. No wonder the chef is a James Beard winner and Annette was named Denver’s best restaurant in 2019. We also had our 3 year old daughter with us and my wife is gluten free and vegetarian and they had no problem accommodating. They even have a cute little curated kids menu. They take walk ins but I highly recommend a reservation. This is your sign to go.

Not Celiac safe. While they do have gluten free items on the menu, the kitchen is very small and cross contaminated. I got a salad, thinking it would be safe and I was extremely sick from it for a long time. I'm thinking that flour just settles everywhere. Very good food. Not safe for people with celiac.

Fantastic! We came here for the lunch buffet twice in the last few weeks. There is an amazing depth of flavour in each dish. Everything is vegetarian and clearly marked if you might be needing a gluten free or vegan option. The buffet had different selections each time we visited.

If you are looking for authentic Ethiopian food, this is the place. It was our first visit but will not be the last. Try the honey wine with the food. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. The staff and owners are super sweet and friendly. Best in the world. 😊

We were hopeful because of all the Gluten Free options for me. Atmosphere really sucked! I was served the wrong Omelette and it took forever to get the replacement. Overall I would NEVER go back. $60 bucks for a mediocre breakfast for two people, no thank you!!!!

Jared Sims

Scott was awesome! The food was delicious and well prepared. It actually looked like the picture you see in the advertisement! The smash fries were perfect, not too oily with the perfect amount of seasoning. Our food came out quick as well and the customer service was excellent. We are gluten intolerant, so Smash Burger is one of the places we can set at regularly, this by far has been the best Smash Burger we have eaten at and we have tried quite a few across Colorado.

great brunch deals and gluten free options. my partner loves the pickle speers, and the hot links. glad to find another great spot in the neighborhood

Rachael dean

Gluten free buns available!

Sari Barnes

Some of the best coffee and breakfast items, plus they offer gluten free food items! I love Ziggi's!

Lois Andereck

Last evening we went to Athenian's for dinner with a friend. When we walked in they asked if we had a reservation. "No" we replied, thinking we had a long wait ahead. Two other parties came in with no reservations. Amazingly, the staff quickly opened up another room and we were seated within about 5 minutes! The food was amazing and for me the gluten free meal was awesome. Unfortunately, I did not get our incredible server's name. . Give them a try, truly a wonderful, welcoming restaurant.

If you're gluten free, don't bother going here

I love Parkside Eatery. I'm so happy Aurora has a spot like this, a central bar with food stalls. I love the variety and the atmosphere. The bartenders were welcoming and provided great service. Our food was delicious, and there is a food-allergy friendly stall. I had no issues ordering with my gluten and dairy restrictions. The space is big and open with TV's and electrical outlets if you need to charge a phone or lap top. The vibes are good at this place. 10/10

Ariel and all the managers are absolutely amazing! They always nail my gluten free food!

Nice quiet coffee shop located in a church. A great place on a cold snowy day. I had a Chai with oatmilk. Nice to drink or of a real mug. I ate a burrito bowl with chorizo, flavor was excellent, I enjoy that they put tutorials tots in the burritos. There are a few gluten free options. Atmosphere is nice, would have been nice is they had a working fire place today 🥶.

Anna Hale

The service was extremely mediocre. Our server had airpods in and was barely responsive when we would ask questions. We ordered everything vegan and gluten free. The pakoras were alittle too thin and not even mixed veg mix. We also go the bajji plantain fritters. Those has basically no flavor.. like no salt of spice. very unseasoned. We got the bhindi masala for our entree and it was amazing. highly recommend The cafe itself was very open and bright and comfortable to sit in. We came at 1pm and it was completely empty which was nice

Gina Paproski

Gluten free waffles and pancakes are delish!! Made my day

I went for matcha and a gluten free pastry and they had neither. I ordered a spicy chai and patter bar instead and both were good. I’d probably go more often if they had more options. Staff was kind and quick to prepare drink.

Edgar

Food was great They made a mistake with gluten free bread however the way they handled it was great and so was the rest of the food

Shaina Honsberger

Today we were told that they will no longer put a “allergy” on the grilled nuggets and the staff gets upset when asked to change their gloves. Love chic fil a, but no longer feel this location is celiac friendly.

steph

best burger I've had in awhile!! the patties are massive and they have gluten free buns for me! I recommend the bookmaker or the teriyaki burger. the sweet potato fries are gluten free too! they also have tator tots and side salads so they have options. my boyfriend loves the whiskey selection, bartenders are super knowledgeable and talk him up every time. great cocktails too! I liked the 'resting spritz face'

Amulyn C. B.

Absolutely wonderful customer service, excellent espresso and handcrafted coffee beverages and teas. They carry dairy free alternatives. They also also offer a variety of pastries including gluten free and a fair amount of ice creams. Delicious!

Angel Dotson

The food was hot, our order was correct and service was fast and friendly. I love that they have salads, grilled options and even gluten free options.

I've been trying to review this place for at least 2 years. My favorite so far is the gluten-free brownie. You would never know it's gluten-free. It's so dang good. I wish I had gotten two. She told me you can't tell it's gluten-free, but I was skeptical. She was right. That was the best brownie I've had in a long time. It's the best. I'm calling it. I loved the spinach quiche. I got a quarter piece. The crust was flaky, tender, soft, and buttery. The texture of the quiche was smooth and creamy. I made a short rib sandwich with the butter croissant. I haven't tried all my purchases, but the chocolate gauche square was rich and super sweet. That's when you need a hit of chocolate. It will not let you down. Customer service was awesome. I didn't stay and eat there. I had my dogs in the car, so my order was to go. The place was clean and had plenty of inventory to choose from. Until next time.

John Gabriel

Excellent. Food was so fresh and the flavors so unique. Fast service. Very friendly waitress (Спасибо Anna!). Everything is homemade. We are foodies and wanted to try everything. We’re also gluten free and found many things to try. Can’t recommend it high enough. :-)

Jen A

If you've never been to this shop, go now!!! The decor, lovely baristas, excellent atmosphere! Just go now! Then go get a mochi donut next door!!! *Celiac community, sadly the machine spot is not gluten free. So enjoy Coffee Story instead!!!!

Sisu Yugen

Hands down the best donuts around. They are always super fresh and delicious. They even offer gluten free if you call them the day before. Thank you Donut House!

Noodle Man

As with most Ethiopian restaurants I’ve been to in the are, go for the food and authenticity not the ambiance. Food was delicious and they have gluten free injera (the spongey bread that you eat with). Always a fun experience eating with your hands as is traditional. Venture out and try something new! The vegetarian combo is big enough to split for 2!

Cassidy Robertson

I usually have such a disappointing experience with IHOP that I don't even bother going into one. This is hands down the best experience I've ever personally had at an IHOP in my entire life. The food was fantastic, whoever made my husband's steak cooked it perfectly how he wanted it and knew exactly what they were doing. My eggwhite veggie omelet was amazing, and the gluten free pancakes tasted awesome too. Everything was hot and fresh, none of the veggies looked wilted, mushy, or nasty. My husband's french toast looked like it was a photo from a magazine and all my food looked just like the pictures in the menu. I'm happy to say this is our favorite IHOP and your staff all deserves a raise.

Raine

This was cool. I went to drive thru, they had about 4 staff members, masks on, tablets in hand with menus attached. They take your order to avoid long lines and wait time for food. BRILLIANT SYSTEM! The young man (very tall, husky build, happy personality) that took my order even helped me by suggesting a cookie crumble on my parfait along with granola, that was tasty! The staff outside knows their menu front to back to make suggestions, SEAMLESS VISIT. I will stop by again! Need gluten free or trying to lose calories? Get their Grilled Chicken Nuggets! Decent choice!

Jen A

Mmmm gluten free goodness. The coffee was lovely. The hash was bomb. Go treat yoself!

October Sky

Location is so clean and the staff is so amazing, their smoothie and food is so fresh! Be sure to try some of the best gluten-free vegan muffins by Vicki they are the Bomb just like Her. Coco Loco is a family owned business be sure to stop by

I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) My travel companion and I found this place after a long day of travel from the East Coast to Denver. We were looking for something to eat that had gluten free options and open late on a Sunday. What a great find! It’s located in the Stanley Marketplace, itself a great tourist location. Not only did they have a GF bun so I could eat a traditional burger, the best part was that their classic smash burger (with fired pickles and onions) was the best burger I’ve ever had, and I’m not exaggerating. Try it! The staff was friendly and attentive. I noted that they are on openly LGBTQ-friendly establishment which is important to me for the comfort of my family. This place is also well suited to kids, singles, couples and retirees alike. It has a bit of a retro feel which is fun. I noted that the prices were fair, food quality excellent and the place was clean. I was very pleased with our choice after such a long day. Lastly, if you have any mobility needs, the entire place is spacey enough to accommodate most needs. Keeping in mind this is a burger and breakfast joint, they get 5 stars.

El Meson de Liz is a home away from home. Thanks so much for coming into our neighbourhood and bringing your delicious food. We are so lucky that you chose this location. Here is a picture of the server bringing me extra cheese 😅 while also taking care of my dietary gluten free restraints. You can even make small special events more special. Thanks for everything you do to create an amazing restaurant with delightful, caring staff. I got dine in this time, but I do take out for special suppers and events too 🥳 1bajillion percent out of hundred recommend this delicious restaurant.

Shawna Mequet

My friend and I went there for lunch. The service was outstanding and they are amazingly allergy friendly. I have celiac disease and I was actually able to get fries there. They have separate gluten free fryers and are able to make vegan/vegetarian accommodations! I would highly recommend going there!

Jacqueline Reilly

This place has never let me down. Food is always fresh and hot. They accommodate you if you need gluten-free. Lots to choose from if you know what to eat and not eat if your GF

Carrie Young

I don't usually frequent taco bell, but I ate here in a pinch because I was having work done on my car nearby. I was pleasantly surprised. Polite cashier who was knowledgeable of gluten free diets. Very clean restaurant. I wasn't clear that I wanted my order both gluten and dairy free, but they remade it, even though it was my error.

Ania

Great NY-style bagels! We tried the pastrami one and chicken delight - swapped the bagel for an omlette as a sandwich on this one. The pastrami was truly delicious, better than some I had in NYC. The chicken delight was, well, a delight. Both options have amazing cheeses as well. No gluten free bagels, but there are other options you can choose, or, like me, ask for an omlette instead. Tasty!

Mary Kay Henderson

I like being able to get the same things that go on a sandwich as a salad. I'm gluten intolerant and glad that I can still eat here.

Cha B

Excellent Oat milk Lattes! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff as well as gluten free, vegan treats! They have amazing, rich brownies too per my hubby but for those of us with food allergies, the vegan treats are fabulous!! Thank you!!

Mustafa Hussain

Excellent choice if you’re in the mood for Pho!!! Totally on point. And the service was top notch. Very good about accommodating our dietary needs (gluten free, dairy free). Can’t wait to go back Phở 75 Havana.

Pete Bonstrom

My favorite local place! Great coffee, gluten free food options, and warm inviting space.

Clint White

#GlutenFree and some unique vegetarian options. Ultra kind staff. New favorite food place!

Anna Walker

Food is consistently good. I love that they have gluten-free buns. Could use more clean up of the dining area.

Marie Woodard

Lisa Kraft

We eat at this IHop frequently. Love it! The reason we started coming was specifically for their gluten free pancakes. The wait staff are always bright and friendly!!

Margo Anthone

These are the best pupusas for the price in my opinion. I did have to wait so ordering in advance might be faster. They do offer gluten free pupusas for a little more money.

Kathy

Friendly and helpful staff. Accommodated our gluten free diner Food was delicious .will definitely return . The patisserie case had some great treats available.

Gavriela M

Went here for brunch - the food was delicious, and the pricing is agreeable. Looks just as good as it tastes. Has a selection of menu items labeled vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free, and all the ingredients are listed for the dishes. The portions are just right, I recommend ordering a separate side if you're a bigger eater. The restaurant was very clean and quiet, no loud music. For parking, you're right near a campus and the restaurant is connected to a hotel, so you'll need to do a few laps to find street parking if it's busy.

Chris Roszell

This place is truly special. The food is absolutely fantastic—easily the best Ethiopian food in all of Denver. Amina, the owner and chef, pours so much thought and care into selecting high-quality ingredients and preparing every dish to be both incredibly delicious and healthy. We always order the veggie combo, which is a standout. It’s not only packed with flavor but also entirely gluten-free and vegan. The injera is made with 100% teff flour, staying true to the traditional method. This level of authenticity and dedication makes every meal here unforgettable.
