Top 12 Gluten-Free Breakfast Spots to Delight in Speer, Denver

There’s a reason they don’t put the gluten free doughnuts out on display - they are sad, tiny, and mushy. And they taste the way they look. The fact that they charge $4.25 for a single one is absurd. Save yourself the time and money and skip this place.

Full Afterburner Calzones is one of Denver's hidden gems that deserves more credit than it probably gets. Amazing calzones, a really cool atmosphere, priced at an amazing price and not too far from other fun spots! Most of the staff is friendly and nice although sometimes I can't tell if my order annoyed them or their just having a rough day. It's a huge added bonus that they have gluten free dough as well as I am someone who has dietary restrictions. Overall a really nice low-key spot that has some of the best gluten-free calzones. 👌

The other reviews are right about the gluten free bread, it's excellent and we all know that's hard to find. The food is very good overall, the chef knows what they're doing. It's a bit overpriced though, considering my breakfast sandwich had very little bacon and my turkey sandwich seemed like it should have come with some kind of side given the price. Everyone there was very nice and I liked it enough to go back for lunch.

Perfect place to stop no matter the occasion. The decor and vibe of the place is very relaxed, the menu is extensive and has a great variety, and the employees were great. The offer indoor and outdoor seating, dog treats, clean gender neutral bathrooms, and WiFi. They seem to bring in a lot of the college crowd (there were a lot of people there working on laptops and enjoying cups of joe). Overall, a wonderful place to stop! I loved the gluten free zucchini bread and their hot chocolate.

Extremely gluten free friendly and just a happy place in general, brightens my day! I'm excited about the latke sandwich.

We used Illegal Pete's catering for our wedding and that was the BEST decision ever. Jesse was extremely helpful in making sure we had everything and more for our special day. Aside from ourselves, we heard nothing but "THIS IS AWESOME" or "SO DELICIOUS" from our guests. The buffet style allowed everyone to get what they wanted and had options for gluten free, vegetarian, and vegans.

Really cozy mellow ambiance great for breakfast or brunch. Had the corned beef hash crepes (they have gluten free crepes too). The shredded duck and duck fat appetizer was also delicious. Great spot to meet a friend for conversation without being too loud.

Questionably worthy of bib gourmand status in our opinion. Salsa and guac were quite good, but it's just salsa and guac. The tacos were only okay. If you're going to "deconstruct" them, then more sauce is required and not just the salsa/sour cream that were on the side. It felt lazy and bland. A good taco has an interesting dressing/sauce so that the taco is juicy and full of flavor. While the birria was good (hard to be bad, though, to be honest, as it's seared in butter with melted cheese), the regular tacos (chicken and lamb) were just lacking something and a little dry. The bland corn tortillas (we're gluten free) were dry and too present, with the only moisture coming from added sour cream and salsa. Maybe their flour tortillas are better? Good thing I liked the salsa, but it made the taco experience too similar to the chip appetizer experience. So 50/50 experience: chips and dips + birria, yes, but the other tacos . . . not really.
