They are so accommodating. I have Celiac and it is nice to go to a 100% gluten free kitchen.

Service was fantastic! They were quick to seat us even though they were busy. The menu had so many options from omelets to pancakes to eggs Benedict’s! Plus gluten free!!! I got the flight of pancakes gluten free and they were soft as pillows and so amazingly delicious. My hubby ordered a burrito and it was ginormous! He lives spicy food and their hot sauce had his “bald spot sweating” (his words 🤣). Christine also offered us multiple options for things to do in the area and places to see. It was an extraordinary experience!

the food was pretty okay!! unfortunately they were out of all of their lemonades which was a bummer :( otherwise they’re good with gluten free accommodations (on pizza and and sandwiches)

Casey Cromwell

100% gluten free and extremely allergy friendly. Their chicken and dumplings was super flavorful and their French toast was the best gluten free French toast I’ve ever had — crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. Super convenient to order since you use a digital stand to do so and can see all allergens when picking your meal.

They are very good at offering options for a variety of diets, but experienced some discomfort after. Wouldn’t recommend anything from the kitchen (they have gf wrapped pastries) for anyone with celiac.

Love City O’ City, been coming here for over 15 years. The food is top notch, service is great, and we beat the morning brunch rush by arriving at 10 o’clock on a Saturday. Met a dear friend there for our last breakfast before she moved out of state. Nice to know this place is still doing well. Had the chicken and waffles…it was delicious and gluten-free.

Overall: 5/5! Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Coffee: 5/5 This place is adorable. There is a bit of seating downstairs and a lot more upstairs in some cute rooms upstairs. Upstairs doesn't have any music and that is not even a complaint, just something noticeable and different from other small restaurants. Every room has a window seat, so there's lots of natural lighting. The ambulance is good. The servers greeted us immediately and were friendly and helpful with our dietaries. They delivered our food and drinks quickly and cleared our plates when they checked on us, even though it is a counter service/self bussing restaurant. Now to the food. I went with my wife. She got the eggs croissant sandwich and a side of fresh fruit. Her eggs were made over medium, instead of scrambled at her request. The croissant was crispy and her sandwich delicious. The fruit was very clearly freshly prepared and she thoroughly enjoyed everything. I got the smoked salmon crepe. I ordered a gluten free (yes! Gluten free!) crepe, which is also dairy free. I didn't have to do any edits! It came with smoked salmon, dill, cucumber, avocado mayo and capers. The capers really cut through the smooth, creamy and rich flavors that would have otherwise dominated this dish, and balanced it well. I got the potatoes as my side. They are a soft, mashy like homestyle potato, that are well seasoned and feature one of my favorite spices: cumin. So I had two of my to five spices in the meal, dill and cumin. Overall, the meal was absolutely everything I could hope for and more, especially with the rarity of getting a gluten and dairy free crepe. That said, our lattes were also incredible. I had a honey lavender with oat milk and my wife had a regular lavender with regular milk. The coffee beans they use must be imported and very special. I've never tasted coffee so good anywhere. I'll always show up here on the weekends to get a latte, even if I can't grab a breakfast every time. We did also get a sweet crepe, the Nutella with strawberries. It's the only one I took a picture of because it was so inspired. The sweet crepes are not safe for my dietaries, so I did not enjoy it, but it looks so pretty and my wife did say it was delectable!

I have been coming here for years and absolutely love the community. Delicious food, gluten free donuts, and so many drink options that I can hardly ever just pick one. The rotating juices and mushroom cacao are my current go-to’s

Amber Kuspiel

Their gluten-free options are amazing! Especially the pancakes, my non gluten free family love them too!

Gill Elliott

Best breakfast in Denver? Extensive menu, delicious food, gluten and dairy free options available - highly recommended!!

Lori K.

Great place for breakfast after getting off the train from Denver airport. Also appreciated the gluten free options for pancakes and bread.

Nancy Deal-Whitacre

My favorite place to eat at DIA- friendly service, reasonable prices, and gluten free bread and cookies!!

Michelle Grissom

I was cautiously optimistic when I heard about a pie shop that had good gluten free options. Umm, people, this place is beyond good, it’s amazing. If you like pie or things that taste great, you have to visit Legacy Pie Company in Wash Park.

Shabana

🚨 Gluten free options! Food is pretty good and they have quite a few options! Used to be called Udi’s. Miss those days.

Andy Yoder-Horst

Great donuts. The regular donuts were amazing and I got some gluten free ones for a friend and she gave them a good review as well. The staff was helpful.

Ashley King-Roads

I was excited for the “gluten free” donut holes but you get to the restaurant and it says they used shared equipment. So sad!

d schlatter

gluten free donuts are not jelly filled. gf pancakes are yummy tho.

amanda

My husband and I have been looking for a replacement breakfast restaurant since Mimi’s Cafe closed during the pandemic. We finally found a place, Snooze A.M. The food is fantastic! I suggest the classic breakfast with gluten-free blueberry pancakes substituted for the hashbrowns and toast. The caramel cappuccino with almond milk is a must-try. The staff is always friendly. I have zero complaints.

Shannon E

I ordered the BLT on gluten free bread. Fast service - I ordered from the Togo window. I was glad for the quick service as my flight was going to leave in 35 minutes. It came in about 5 minutes

Lesley S

Gluten free options galore and (or at least my server) was very familiar with celiac disease and the limitations it can cause. Very good food and fast. Attentive without being overbearing and generally an excellent experience.

sophrederick

This place has everything. It has amazing waffles, it has gluten free pancakes, it has mimosas, it has fresh fruit that you can sub in for sides. It’s fantastic.

Elyse Mackay

I was there for work purposes nearby. I went there three times they are gluten free and vegan friendly. I couldn’t get enough of their sandwiches very easy to over eat but why is that a problem if it’s so friggin delicious and they’re super accommodating. I’m not in Denver anymore, but I am still thinking of those sandwiches and wiping the drool off my lip.

We tried dining here on Saturday night, but came to find out when we were seated that there's like a half page manifesto about not handling any allergies (not dietary preferences - actual anaphylactic shock inducing allergies). Their menu explicitly states "do not eat here, it's not worth the risk." Well, you don't have to tell us twice! We found food elsewhere. As an aside, pretty much every other restaurant in Denver can handle this kind of request with modest hygienic kitchen practices. Some restaurants are excellent and proactive about it. Even some cocktail bars ask about allergies now! But hey, that's your choice I guess. So, we decided to leave a mostly-positive (4-star) review to let other allergy-havers know not to come here. After all, they're very clear about not wanting you to eat here! We thought we'd spread the word while not impacting their Google rating too much. For daring to leave a review with 4 stars, about a policy on their menu that they wrote, the owners decided to respond with an absolute tantrum. Check the other reviews - we're definitely not the first people to enrage these psychos. You did an excellent job of making an enemy out of people who would otherwise at least stop in for a glass of wine or a cocktail. So, enjoy your multiple 1 star reviews from everyone in our party, instead of the single 4-star review you would have gotten. You really earned it! Do not give these people your money. --- Edit: Again, see the completely normal response from the owner 😂. I don't have a gluten allergy - someone in our party has a tree nut allergy. And again, that's fine, we can eat elsewhere. We appreciated the warning on the menu. We just wanted to leave a review letting other allergy-havers to also dine elsewhere. That's what you want, right?

Adrienne Aguirre Deshaies

I love this place. Super comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with friendly owners and baristas. Delicious coffee and food, lots of gluten free options, super reasonably priced. This places is local and FAR better than any chain coffee joint!

Jesse Healy

Super cute little spot. Service was lovely prices are good and the food is absolutely delicious:) hella vegan vegetarian and gluten free options too. Would definitely recommend on any type of day. Bumpin good music is always the cherry on top.

Eric Hardway

Pizza was good, but maybe take the gluten free garlic bread off the menu

Paul T

Wife has very sensitive celiac and has never gotten glutened. The owner is very helpful and understands how to prevent any cross contamination and can make many dishes egg free.

Samantha S.

Good piece of New Orleans in denver! Food was good, not great/didn’t wow us. Really enjoyed the beignets and different egg dishes for breakfast. Also, they had a few gluten free options which was surprising— even gluten free bread from Deby’s for GF French toast. (The bread looked not Gf so i asked where it was from to confirm to be certain for celiac.) Will come back when craving some Nola style food

Cassandra

Oh my gosh, this place is fantastic. Google maps brought me to the tire shop on the next block, which was not helpful. This coffee shop is on Quince St, which should be pretty self explanatory, probably, lol. It's SO CUTE in here!! Back yard (dog friendly) is also really cute, partially covered! Lots of patio space! I ordered the Sagittarius specialty drink (dirty chai with hazelnut and toffee) AND I'M NOW COMPLETELY OBSESSED - IT WAS DIVINE. Ma got a white chocolate cinnamon mocha which was also super good. Employees were friendly, vibe amazing. And they have gluten free pastries!

Kelsey Wu

Got an açaí bowl - amazing find for anyone looking for fresh and/or gluten free food at the Denver airport. This will be my go to for future layovers!

Girlie Kulp

We were looking for a good breakfast spot in Aurora, Colorado, and came across Woodgrain Bagel & Deli. The place was packed, but the service was impressively fast. I loved it! The staff was friendly and welcoming, always serving with a smile. I also tried the Matcha Chagaccino coffee, and it was amazing. The space is a bit small, but there’s outdoor seating available if the weather allows. I highly recommend this spot, especially for travelers with gluten allergies like me!

Jason “Face” Fodor

Organic food, gluten free options for dessert and a full bar make this place a great choice for dinner. But... there is also the Jungle Room with an open mic, poetry readings, and karaoke. Upstairs is a venue for live music and dancing (including big name bands when they were new like Screaming Trees). You won't find high fructose corn syrup here!

Benjamin Ueberroth

This place is awesome. My dog knocked over some food and they remade it without extra charge or a fuss. Awesome gluten free goods. We get a GF birthday cake here every year. Highly recommend!

Emily Ward

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

Carissa P

Consistently delicious for years. We love it here every time we go. Good with gluten free recommendations but wish they had gf pitas and dessert.

Kaeli Welsh

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.

Tylar Tafiti

Delicious menu that offers, dairy free, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options! The cafe is spacious, with comfortable seating arrangements that cater to both solo visitors and larger groups. Nurture also hosts regular wellness events monthly such as yoga sessions, meditation workshops, and other fun events that are open to the public and for nurture members!

Anna

Stowaway was a spectacular find! A very popular spot with incredibly delicious and unique food options. We all thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast choices, not only would we return but we would absolutely order the same dishes again! They also had plenty of gluten free options. Our waitress was super sweet and on top of it adding to the great experience!

Sophie Rosenblatt

Easily my new favorite neighborhood coffee shop. I was greeted by the most gentle and friendliest barista. a Sunday at 8 AM, that feels rare. The stamp on the to go cup was created by a local digital artist who use the face of the neighboring shop owner. What a special touch. The outdoor garden was a surprising oasis. I hope to bring my book there and relax. Also complements to the gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Delicious and I recommend to all gluten-free/vegan people.

C Twogood

Plenty of gluten free options

Gabriel G

Had some friends in town and quickly googled breakfast found Macis nearby. Saw that they had gluten free options for my girlfriend. We all ordered different paninis and they were allll great. The owner was awesome and real friendly. I’m so glad we ended up stopping in and will definitely come

Phyllis Scampas

A cute coffee house with great iced mocha and teas, scones. Has gluten free treats. Tables outside and inside. Just look

marin c

Beautiful, cozy, welcoming spot! The chilaquiles was 🤌 especially with the red sauce. Very friendly, attentive service. Can’t wait to come back! Pozole looks great, plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Michele Tompkins

Very popular neighborhood spot for coffee & snacks, including gluten-free. Outdoor area is expansive & great in warm weather. Also on offer is freshly made juice with ginger & turmeric.

Carissa Butler

Such a cute, unique spot near Sloan's Lake - walkable from the north side! 3 different cold brew options. I got the traditional Slohi blend, which has a bold chocolatey flavor profile and was delicious. Also tried the vegan gluten-free donut and it was sooooo good. I get nervous trying gluten-free pastries but this donut was wonderful. Highly recommend. Local, sweet, quick.

Elizabeth King

I love this place!! They make delicious gluten free crepes (and regular) from scratch, roast their own coffee, and everyone is always so nice! The only issue I’ve ever run into is the occasional time when there are too many crepe-lovers and the wait gets long. I don’t really mind, though, because the owner is such a lovely man and deserves all the success!

Ama HaRo

Delicious espresso and in-house made baked good. Vegan and gluten free options. Ample seating. Fair pricing.

Ganesh Om

I had the best sandwich of my entire life - two days in a row AND it was on gluten free bread, and I've only been GF for one year. Thanks, SNARF! (In case there was any doubt, I've been eating sandwiches my entire life.)

Brandon Bena

Had the veggie combo, which was amazing! The red lentils were my favorite! Great environment, great food, amazing service! They even could do gluten free injera with a 24 hour notice. I’ll definitely be back!
