Top 6 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Silver City

Bella Maldonado

Coffee is good, matcha was yummy. Gluten free and regular fresh pastries and other food. Staff is awesome. Good prices. Did go back and would make this my regular spot if I lived here. Really cool, artsy, hippie kind of vibes. Big outdoor covered space and cozy indoors. Couch, chess, books, items for sale, etc...

Located in a 100+ year old former Office (1914) & adjacent Coal Transfer & Storage buildings (1907), this one of a kind restaurant, a tiny bit off the beaten path, is definitely worth seeking out & experiencing if you are visiting (or live in!) Silver City. Our Server/Slash/Cashier, Hannah is a very pleasant, gentle spirit. We ordered 2 meals from the daily special board; an asparagus, mushroom & gouda Fritatta that was absolutely divine as it melted in the mouth. As airy as any soufflé with clearly distinct flavors of each of the main ingredients. The other dish was a "warmed on the grill" sandwich, I believe it was called The Big Piggy on homemade bread with the perfectly baked crusty crust & soft "insides", made from various pork products (sorry I forget exactly what they were) & melted cheese. Both dishes were served with a homegrown mescal salad & lemon vinaigrette dressing, the perfect accent. "Dining In" is actually a dining outdoors in the back of the building experience. I believe there were about 10 tables that can seat about 30 people total. You can visit their raised bed organic garden growing peppers, tomatoes, chives, and other vegan & gluten free veggies. Water is self-serve, "all you can drink" from a thermal dispenser outside, it had a very clean taste, no particles or metal flavors noted. I believe each dish was around $11.75, which seems to be the going rate for most of the items on the menu. Total bill for 2 with taxes & 1 bottled beverage was $28.80+$6 tip = $35-ish. The superb quality of the ingredients & cooking preparations made this a place well worth spending this amount for a lunch for 2. Currently, Spring/Summer 2023, it is open 5 days a week Thursday through Monday, serving breakfasts & lunches from 09:30a - 2:30p. Since dining in is dining outside, I do not know what days/hours they keep when the weather turns cold, phone to check in the winter & late fall. One last note. If you park facing uphill in front of the restaurant on S. Bullard, you need to do a turn around in the driveway of the business across the street to leave the location as the top of the hill on S. Bullard turns into a One Way street, and you will be going the wrong way 😉. klee

Little Toad Creek offers a great atmosphere with a quiet, open side room that features games, including darts, pinball, and a pool table, and space for families and groups to spread out in without disturbing patrons in the main dining area. Staff are friendly and patient with dietary restrictions and kid energy. I understand that the Little Toad Creek doesn’t run with vegans in mind, and I appreciate that the servers and kitchen staff were willing to remove ingredients to accommodate my dietary preferences. The menu does a decent job of listing ingredients, but it doesn’t have detailed allergen information. When I asked our server what she could recommend for a vegan, she pointed me towards the Hungry Hippie. The vegetarian-friendly Hungry Hippie's portobello was well prepared and had a great texture, but without a vegan alternative for the several cheeses described on the menu, I definitely missed the intended experience. The brioche bun contains dairy, and I was told I'd need to pay $2 for a dairy-free bun when the gluten-free bun was listed at 75 cents on the menu and is what I believe I was ultimately served. The bun I ate was powdery and not very pleasant; the bed of greens would have been a better option, but it wasn't highlighted by our server. I wouldn't recommend the Hungry Hippie for a vegan but expect it would be pretty solid for a vegetarian. The cajun fries that came with my order had cajun salt liberally sprinkled over them, but it flavored the plate more than the fries. I think the best a vegan could do these days at Little Toad Creek is to go for the house salad and hold the feta, which is a bit of a let down. The staff were solid and the atmosphere was great, but I can’t recommend the food to a vegan as it stands, and there may not be enough vegan customers to warrant more accommodation.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Jeff is a really awesome guy, the breakfast was some of the best, and they had no problem accommodating a gluten free diet and puppies!

These guys are so good that our friends from Santa Fe ask us to bring them Chaos all the way from Silver! Best food and service we've found here. Fresh high quality ingredients, some gluten-free options, very kind owners. They really go the extra mile, so we come in to support them every time we're in town.
