Top 24 Gluten-Free Cafes to Discover in Fort Collins

Cat Hahn

I love Explorado! A cozy place to read, story or work and delicious gluten free selection. It’s celiac friendly, everything is gluten free. I like to get the cake slices from the fridge and a few cookies!

Leann Johnson

Love the pancake flights. They do a good job with gluten free. Service was a little slow as they seemed preoccupied.

Shannon Hughes

Our favorite breakfast spot in fort collins for years now. Great gluten free options and their homemade breakfast sausage is the best!

Kai Nazgul

Delicious and plenty of GF + vegetarian options. I had a buckwheat crepe and that was perfectly done, and no symptoms of being glutened later on (celiac).

Check your receipts carefully. I ordered a Monterey scramble ($13.70) with extra veggies and gluten free bread. "Gluten Free Avail" clearly stated on the menu. Yet, $2 more was a surprise. Also, I was charged for a BYO omelet ($15.70) and an additional $6 for those extra veggies that at best were a tablespoon added into the scramble. The BYO comes with four choices/ ingredients. There was no way I received that amount of veggies - the four in the BYO and 3 additional charged to justify these extra charges. In fact, my friend's BYO was larger than my 'scramble' aka BYO. No pictures of the actual order as why would I think I would be charged $10 more ($2 more for the BYO, $2 bread, and $6 for the veggies). I know charges include labor. These are beyond reasonable, however. And, unfortunately, I was needing to hurry out and failed to catch this awful practice. Usually like this place. However, this leaves a huge reason never to come back. You have to wonder about a place where you can't trust their charges.

Many items on their menu are labeled gluten free but are not gluten free. Items are in a shared fryer with gluten. For some people this matters a whole lot, for others not at all, but it is misleading. This is like calling Brussels sprouts cooked in bacon grease vegetarian.

Wonderful spot for incredible coffee and food. Bindle has THE best gluten-free biscuit breakfast sandwich, and their scramble is gluten-free, dairy-free, and divine. Staff are quick and welcoming. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Friendly people and great coffee! Gluten free bread selection!

Great breakfast food with vegan and gluten free options. Breakfast burrito was excellent. Outdoor or indoor seating. Lots of beverage options including alcohol if wanted. Good choice for breakfast.

Gluten and Dairy free:Yes. They have a few selections of gelato that are dairy free. The coconut is amazing, though I am still hoping that they will make their pistachio in a vegan version (fingers crossed). The polenta and caponata is expensive but very tasty and safe for the wheat and dairy challenged. Service is usually pretty good the staff is friendly, but it does depend on who's working as to whether you get friendly and enthusiastic or lack luster but efficient. All in all this place is great, we come for gelato 2-3 times a month, While I couldn't eat it my wife says the lasagna was excellent and she says the mint chocolate gelato is the best dairy version. Coconut is the most amazing according to both of us though. If you are in city park stop by this little place. It's a delicious choice.

Really excellent service and atmosphere, and I always love their wine flight options, with the choice to make your own flight! We arrived shortly before the kitchen and bar were closing, so we had limited food choices on this particular visit. Overall, I have always found their food to be good, but the gluten-free crackers are why I gave the food 4 stars from this visit. There are a LOT of good gluten-free cracker options out there these days, but these were really quite bland, dry, and unappetizing. I couldn't even finish one of them. I found it startlingly out of line from their otherwise high-end, tastey food menu. (If I was giving stars on just the crackers alone, I don't think I could have even given them one star.)

I frequent this coffee shop that is close to my house. The staff is always calm and inviting and the food is just delicious. They have gluten free options too .

Kylie Castleberry

Absolutely love Butterfly! This has been a weekly stop for our household since I first discovered it 4 years ago. You can never go wrong here. The sandwiches are amazing—the focaccia bread is SO good, and if you’re gluten intolerant like me they also use good gluten free bread. My go-to is the lunchbox! It’s a sandwich, cookie (today was a fresh baked oatmeal raisin), a bag of Boulder chips, and your choice of drink—I suggest the hibiscus refresher. They also make great breakfast, awesome coffee, and refreshing and nourishing smoothies! This is hands down one of the best little spots in Fort Collins. Bonus?! The tomato soup. Best. In. Town.

Tyler Lucero

Wow! One of the best sandwiches I've ever had and a great root beer float. Great place to work or visit. Gluten free bread available as well!

Afton Forred

Excellent customer service and great food. The bacon wrapped dates are amazing. Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. I had a bison ribeye, asparagus, and smashed potatoes. All gluten free.

This is the spot for true craft coffee lovers! Perfectly roasted beans, brewed at exactly the right temperatures that exudes the baristas love for coffee. For the Starbucks fans reading this review who love ordering "skinny" lattes... stick to Starbucks. But for those of you who truly appreciate the art of coffee making, this is the place. My husband got a hot oatmilk latte and I got an iced honey oatmilk latte, both of which were made to perfection with the perfect balance of espresso to milk. I also ordered two vegan GF donuts--YES! I said vegan AND GF! As someone with a dairy allergy and gluten sensitivity, I greatly appreciated the fact that they had baked good that I could eat! We also bought a bag of beans to go as we love collecting beans from smaller roasters. The energy in the space is awesome! A perfect spot to hang out, work on your laptop, meet with friends or co-workers, or even meet new friends. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to coffee. Ignore the bad reviews here and treat yourself to REAL coffee!

Newly remodeled. Great food great vibe great drinks friendly staff good prices. Love it, will be back often. Lots of delicious gluten free options. Kitchen so they now have all the amazing food that the college Mugs has. Yum yum yum.

Danielle Epstein

I have celiac. They have good gluten free toast. The owner’s son has celiac so the owner came over to me to make sure I know they take it seriously. Food tasted good, cozy atmosphere.

Maria Schiedermayer

Friendly staff, amazing drinks and great food! Even great options for gluten and dairy free folks. Loved that it supports other local businesses

Marcella L

I love that there are hearty gluten free options for breakfast and double punch Wednesdays are the best. I have always had amazingly friendly service at The Human Bean!

Darlene Rouleau

Great local coffee shop centrally located. Locally roasted delicious coffee (Jackie's Java). Also has local Colorado tea. My favorite is the iced coffee that uses frozen coffee iced cubes to not water down the coffee. The snacks and breakfasts are also mostly local Colorado snacks from burritos, to bread, to salsa and chili. They cater to variety of diets such as gluten free and vegan.

Andrew Melton

Great place for a quick weekend meal. They also have gluten-free pancakes and toast! The outdoor seating area is beautiful

Tyler Lucero

Kolaches are amazing! Also have a great gluten free brioche.

Just love brings such a unique food and drink option to Fort Collins! The way they navigate business is impressive, as I know they have not been open long, and were extremely busy when I went in. I ordered the iced matcha and also a cold brew so I could try both. The matcha is the best I've ever had, and that left a lasting impression. I am gluten-free, and they were able to accommodate me perfectly. I got the waffle omlette, which was delicious and filling. I was even informed by the owner that they have a gluten-free waffle iron to prevent any cross contamination. I can say this is not an option every restaurant offers for people who are gluten-free. I will be trying the gluten-free waffles next time! Just love is definitely a great spot to grab a quick bite or to sit down and study. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable breakfast or lunch spot!
