Casey Cromwell

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

I ordered takeout while visiting from out of town. I accidentally ordered pickup but because I was at a conference I couldn’t leave to pick it up. I called and the kind owner Monse picked up and told me she’d deliver my food herself. Which she of course did. The food was wonderful! Filled with flavor. I wish I lived closer and could come back. I had one beef and cheese pupusa, one beef and cheese pupusa, and rice. Service was top notch of course. And to top it off all off, as someone who needs gluten free food, finding this place with authentic, amazing safe food was the highlight of my trip.

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

McKenzie Goff

Absolutely the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. The gluten free pancake flight was to die for. My family and I are all celiac and had no issues.

Stephanie C

They are excellent with allergy requests! They use local GF breads and it makes going and getting to a sandwich shop so easy! Who knew that you could have gluten-free sandwiches that were so good and so easy to find! Definitely a loyal customer now

Casey Cromwell

They have a gluten free menu you can request that also indicates options for avoiding soy, corn and coconut and everything is dairy free and plant based. They have gluten free desserts from local gluten free bakeries and are happy to modify dishes as needed for additional allergens. Their cocktails are also AMAZING!

Kim Cook

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

Heather Comyn

Great gluten free options

Jaimie Sihrer

AWESOME 👌 GLUTEN FREE FOOD

Casey Cromwell

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.

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!

Phillip S

This place has the best southern style catfish in Colorado. I'm also gluten-free, and they have the absolute best selection.

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.

Brian DeLong

Iconic downtown eatery and bookstore. Great menu with a good variety of options with multiple choices for individuals looking for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. A variety of daily soups as well but honesty I’ve never ventured from my first meal there years ago which was the #1 pizza special with a 3-topping slice of your choice, a top notch house salad and a drink. It’s consistently amazing! Also theres a hidden patio in the back when its nice out!

Amber Day

Today was our first visit to this restaurant. The service was excellent, food was great. We have gluten and dairy allergies. The waitress not only was knowledgeable on the menu, but marked our allergies very prominently on the order so that they wouldn't be missed. We were quite impressed.

Kimberly Proffitt

This is a great local restaurant. The food is always good, as is the service. It's a small place and can be busy on the weekends. Some dishes can run out on busy nights. They offer a gluten-free menu.

James McDaniel

Always a special and amazing experience!The courses can be ordered a la carte or as a 4-course meal consisting of cheese fondue, salad, main entree (wide selection) with desired cooking pot, and dessert fondue. *Gluten Free and vegetarian options available. Bear in mind that you will spend at least 1-1.5 hours here if going through a full 4-course meal. The food is outstanding, well-prepared, and paired with an amazing selection of sauces (7 different sauces) to enhance flavor. The entree food is given all at once and is portioned for individual cooking (you do it yourself). The experience is easy, with dippers and cook times provided. I recommend the herb-crusted chicken and teriyaki marinated steak! The drinks are fantastic! Each drink is mixed well with options for every taste. The service has always been outstanding. The wait staff and managers check often and are open to inquiries and feedback. I had Isiah the last time I went and he was interactive and offered pristine attention to detail. The decor and ambiance is great for romantic, celebratory, or causal encounters. The Melting pot can cater to whatever occasion and offers a variety of add-ons to find that special something. I’ve been to the melting pot many times, never have I been disappointed.

Loyal Olsen

They were helpful and fast! Food was as expected. One of the few places with gluten free and dairy free options

Nancy Henry

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.

Hope Manning

They can make a number of items gluten free. They also have a homemade root beer.

Elizabeth R

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.

Olivia D

Best Gluten Free waffle I have ever had! What a huge blessing to have this place!

Sheila Barritt

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.

Emily Talbot

Warm and welcoming team. Great food. Very dilly Avgolemono (Lemon Chicken Soup) Greek soup. Gluten free options are available. My partner (not gluten-free) crushed the Lamb Gyro. Great venue, great food and service. A must try.

Kaycee Tilley

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!!

I REALLY wanted to like this place, and while I didn’t personally liked it, I will still recommended to others that are Celiac or follow a gluten free diet. This place is Celiac safe and that is hard to find, so their effort to create a safe environment is greatly appreciated. The establishment offers plenty of seating, enough to accommodate a decent size group. It has an inviting and friendly atmosphere and a variety of board games to pass time. The food and coffee were not my cup of tea. They have a limited menu, especially for those that enjoy common breakfast foods. However, they do offer a nice variety of pastry options—I highly recommend their brownies. I ordered a mocha and it was not what I expected…it had a weird taste to it. Overall, this coffee shop was not for me, but you should still give it a shot if you’re in the area—especially if you have dietary restrictions.

Great food and coffee. Good gluten free options. Service was awesome.

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

LeAnn Archangeli

We love the big breakfast at Bon Ton Cafe! We enjoy sitting out on the sunny front patio. The service is always excellent, as is the food. They have gluten free pancakes!

Jessica Canada

This place is happiness. The best Gluten-free free option you can find! Especially for crepes. They have Buckwheat and Garbanzo crepes options available for GF. Everything on the menu is delectable. You order first, then find a seat. The staff is wonderful, kind, excellent at cooking, and seem to love working there. We ordered the Mushroom Crepe,  Carribean crepe, Italian crepe (to go), Deluxe breakfast crepe and Le Reve de la Femme - all being on Garbonzo crepes. They. Were. Heaven. The flavors were spot on, well balanced, beautifully displayed, and everything I remembered and hoped for. Wheelchair accessible. You can pay by card for certain, unsure if they accept cash. The music was beautiful, relaxing, and made the ambiance. I really felt like I was back in France. There is 1 all use bathroom, while the second one is being remodeled; wash stand outside of bathroom as well. There are Ceiling Fans that help with good air flow. Seating also available outside front and out back. There are 4 or 5 Parking spots in front, but if you take the side alley there in between Paris Crepes and The Holey Grail, there is a large parking lot in the back This has been one of my favorite places and I was sad to leave the area 9 years ago. I was very excited and thankful to see this wonderful restaurant still open when I came back to visit! It might have changed locations while I have been gone, but the quality and flavor are still there. I ALWAYS recommend this place to any friends going through or moving to the area. I laughed when I saw a napkin from another customer who has similar sentiments to me! If I live here again, I would be a weekly customer.

Cynthia Archuleta

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:)

Cindie Dowell

I had the carnitas omelette as a scramble with the best gluten free toast I've ever had. The scramble was gigantic and had an acceptable amount of carnitas in it. My husband had the rancher omelette and it looked to have a large amount of meat. The side of fruit was a nice end to the meal. My only feedback is that they should have cream in little pitchers instead of small disposable plastic containers.

Sharon Wren

We arrived with a group of 6 and Johnny was our server. He was great, and very attentive to our friend who needed gluten- free choices. Johnny always makes our experience pleasant and we really appreciate it! Food was wonderful too.

Michelle Andree

My piece of Gluten Free was moldy but the rest of the food was great

Casey Cromwell

Pricy but delicious place for breakfast or lunch! We got the gluten free French toast flight which they make with canyon bakehouse white bread + their breakfast bowls that are naturally gluten free. They cook gluten free orders in a different area of the griddle, change gloves and modify dishes as needed to ensure they are gluten free.

Jordan Morris

Lots of fun parts to the atmosphere. There was a poll table and plenty of screens around the bar. Pizza was great and burger was incredible. Gluten free pizza was very good too.

Veronica Sparks-Theurer

Delicious coffee and food! Really appreciated that they had a few gluten free options for savory and sweets! Definitely will come back

Melissa Anderson

Amazing! Great atmosphere with superb staff! The food and drinks were perfect! Slight adjustment made it Celiac safe!

Casey Cromwell

Switchbacks is a cute coffee shop with a surprising amount of gluten free and dairy free options. They have gluten free bread for toast, gluten free granola, and other options. The staff seemed knowledgeable about cross contact and was happy to modify dishes if needed.

Adriana Nelson

gluten free wraps for sandwiches and goodies

Eric Mercer

Always delicious, and they are especially careful about gluten allergies. This place is one of my favorites.

Zaldy !

I like the coffee and gluten free pastries.

Mike Dam

On May 26 2024, we had the pleasure to stop in for a amazing dinner, the Manager(red vest) was very nice. But we almost never write restaurant reviews, but we met a waiter there who had to be recognized publicly. Nick was his name and he was phenomenal. He catered to the both of us equally. The other gluten sensitive issues, He was prompt, smart, and knowledgable about the food. And he just had this friendly demeanor about him that made us both happy. By the end of our dinner, two of us said, "He's the best waiter we've had in a very long time.

Ahna Hendrix

Gluten-intolerants/celiacs stay away! My partner and I chose this pub because the menu was clearly labeled for food allergies, so we thought it would be safe — NO. We ordered GF items but weren’t feeling well before we left the restaurant and spent the next 1.5 days sick, nauseous and in pain. Absolutely horrible! And the food itself was subpar — very oily and bland. I’m not sure what happened but we definitely won’t be back. PS We aren’t celiacs, but are gluten intolerant. Not a fan of leaving poor reviews, but I’d never want someone else to get this sick!

Allison G

I am gluten free and I told the lady that taking orders. I asked for gluten free French onion soup. She didn't write it down so the chef put bread with my soup. I questioned the chef why and she said the front desk lady didn't write gluten free. If you are gluten free, do not go here. They don't pay attention! I reminded her that people can be hospitalized from eating gluten if they are celiac and she didn't care! HORRIBLE and UNACCEPTABLE!

Cheryce Nicole

I can't say enough about this place. I'm vegetarian and I recently found out that I'm gluten sensitive. I thought I was out of luck when it came to Mexican food. Then, I found this place. I left full, happy, and I doesn't even have to break the bank. Even better, my whole family loved the food. We 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.

Diane Freed

Love the vegan gluten-free options!!! Also like the outdoor dining option. 😊
