Top 50 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Explore in Colorado Springs

Candy Nakajima

Overall Rating 4.5 Urban Egg is that brunch spot if you're in Colorado Springs. The vibe is welcoming, the menu is stacked with unique options (including GF-friendly ones), and the staff? 10/10. I ordered The Cure (it's a pineapple, vanilla, OJ, coconut water bev) and yes, it did cure me. Light, refreshing,, juicy, and not overly sweet. Also had the hazelnut cold brew, which was super tasty and gave me life. For food, we went with the Denver Bot Chicken Benedict Bliss. Originally thought it could be made gluten-free and was sad it couldn’t be, but they baked it for me instead and it was still so good. The flavors were spot on, and now I’m just out here dreaming of a GF version with that crispy fried batter. Manifesting that for next time. Also tried the Ultimate Breakfast Sando with turkey bacon + avo. Solid sandwich, but I’m a thick sourdough or croissant for breakfast sando kinda person, so the bread wasn't exactly my thing. Still tasty, just a personal preference. Overall: amazing staff, thoughtful menu, and tons of great GF options. Which isn’t always easy to find. Would def come back (and next time I’m trying a pancake flight).

My mom and I went far out of our way to go to this absolute gem of a restaurant. They close at 2:30 for lunch and we rolled up at 2:00. We explained that we had traveled far and she was so excited for me to have their amazing food she made a point not to rush us, explained her menu, and is one of the kindest people ever. The food was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant!

James was super great!! I have gluten free dietary restrictions and highly sensitive, James made sure I was taken care of with extra caution! Food was amazing and delicious as always!! I came here with my partner and had a wonderful night.

Samantha Salmon

I love this place. Perfect after work snack and so happy to have gluten free nuggets. I went through the drive through today and Adrian was super quick, helpful, and kind!

We have been very fortunate to have Jennifer h. As our server. We don't frequent urban egg a lot . However the last 3 visits we have had our food served by Jennifer. She remembers my gluten allergy and my husband's spicy tastes. She is always helpful and patient even in a rush in the very busy morning . She is a bright spot in the midst of the noise of the cafe. She is an asset to.the restaurant and company. I gave a 3 for atmosphere due to the noise of customers which I understand is because the food is so delicious !

Words cannot properly express how much I love Angry Chicken. But only the Springs location. Everything about this place and the food is perfect.

Jaimie Sihrer

Gluten free options available

Carla S

I love this place as much as anyone - but I go there expecting to be sick, and I usually get sick.

Meg Forbes Sparks

My favorite place downtown! Super fun coffee variety, delicious breakfast, and phenomenal baked goods (vegan and gluten free options!)

Sarah Guidone

Wow, what a gem!!! The food was absolutely incredible. Chef Ingrid is so gifted and brilliant! Loved getting to hear her wisdom and approach. We had the best time! I highly recommend trying her OG Panang curry, street food Pad Thai, and chicken lollipops. The matcha strawberry tiramisu was super wonderful. Awesome spot for anyone with gluten allergy too! Can't wait to go back!

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

Kelly Heckman

Really good (very rich) food with great choices for gluten free.

If you look at the world through a child's eyes, you will be full of wonder and joy, especially entering into this spot. The Rabbit Hole transports you into Alice in Wonderland incredible experience. Now we have more reason to return to Colorado Springs. The entrance itself will beckon you to explore and enjoy lingering a bit longer than expected. Situated in downtown, you'll find the telephone booth with stairs leading to an unforgettable adventurous experience. There is whimsical renditions of Alice in Wonderland decor and art work. With little nooks and corners tucked with great views of the restaurant, atop, main floor, back room, there isn't any bad seat. Gets really happening around happy hour so I recommend reservations. I simply couldn't resist the White Rabbit Martini. Who doesn't want their drink on fire with a toasted marshmallow awaiting at the end of the concoction? The babe had the Cherry Limeade which has a gummy slice as the garnish (not your childhood limeade). Also big fan of the T Party margarita that blends tequila and coconut rum for a drink bound to leave you smiling nonstop. Big fan of their numerous gluten free entree choices. WOW, I am speechless. The duck confit is so filling, rich with flavor and a fattiness my belly loved. The babe had their chicken cordon bleu and couldn't stop raving about it. Our other choice would be the bison short ribs. Was disappointed didn't get to have dessert because there wasn't gluten free option other than gelato. They say if you are just a little playful with life, every moment is a celebration. Celebrate the small wins. Big wins. Every win.

We went around lunch time, not busy at all. We only ordered dessert, as we don’t like cheese or the entree offerings. This was our first time visiting The Melting Pot in over 7 years, I was surprised that they offer gluten free items—this was a good surprised. I appreciated the care and attention to make sure everything was gluten free.

Sally Lynn Chenoweth

I have Celiac, also allergic to dairy, eggs, and soy. They looked up all the ingredients in the gluten-free bun to make sure it was safe for me. The fries are also safe as they are fried in a separate frier from the onion rings. My burger was cooked to perfection. The service was superb! Everything was amazing. Definitely check them out❤️🙏

Lauren Ora

Excellent food, great choices for meals and drinks with a plenty of kid and gluten free options!

Cheryl Vinet

We went here because they offer gluten free options. The pizza was just ok — didn’t live the crust. The Reuben was quite good - I like mine with mustard instead of thousand island, so got it like that.

Mike Pattermann

Are you looking for a flavorful food experience surrounded by beautiful art and pictures all served with love and care? Yes, you will find it here! The seasonings perfectly complement the healthy foods. The service from the owner is genuine care and concern for you and your meal. Most of the foods are also gluten free! Try this hidden gem!

Olivia Beavers

Great precautions to avoid cross contamination for gluten free meals! Service is excellent!

Julia

My top favorite restaurant in the Springs! The staff is always so friendly & helpful when ordering, and making sure everything is good! I have celiacs and unable to eat gluten and I love that I am able to still enjoy their food, they also have the most delicious Sage tea and coffee ☺ Super good, give them a try! Also located by lots of local attractions

Ty Yaeger

As someone with celiac disease, finding a truly gluten-free restaurant where I can eat without worry is rare — but this place absolutely blew me away! Everything on the menu is gluten-free, and the crepes are incredible. Light, flavorful, and perfectly done — honestly some of the best I’ve ever had.

Emilee Lynette

Very glad to have tried this restaurant for the first time. Extensive Vegan, Gluten Free, and Vegetarian options. We ordered 5 dishes, everything was amazing, also staff was very friendly and our take-out order was ready promptly. Will absolutely return and highly recommend.

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.

Regina Guccione

Inviting, cozy atmosphere, stellar menu with huge variety, and friendly, welcoming staff. Nearly everything on the menu comes gluten free or can be made gluten free! Great for breakfast, brunch, amd lunch!

Rappleye Travels

Alright alright! I am just gonna say it. This is the absolute best BBQ chain out there. If you know of something better, please let me know. We had the wet brisket, pulled pork, half chicken, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, fries, and cornbread. If there was a place that makes me angry about my human limits to eat, it's this food. Plus, the majority of their food is gluten free friendly, which is absolutely amazing!

Jennifer Stroessner

We went based on the reviews and gluten-free options. We were disappointed. The service was slow and had to ask for everything. The sushi was not cold and had a very fishy taste. My daughter had the goyza and ramen and said they were good. The restaurant space was comfortable and clean

Jeanie G

The food is great and they are very careful when I tell them I am celiac. I just wish the delicious bbq was chopped up more instead of being mostly a glob and not chopped up as mych most places . All in all it was excellent though.

Catressa Sweetwood

Family owned business with superior service and delicious food. Everything is fresh and the deserts are homemade. They have gluten free options and were able to accommodate a dairy free diet with a dish that that was delicious. Check this place out!!

Chris Proffitt

One of the best breakfast places in town. Currently still no uncharted on gluten free toast with your omelet. I have yet to have a bad visit here.

Patrick Gardner

Mom has celiacs disease where she can’t have gluten and it is severe enough where her food can’t touch bread. Told the cashier, young kid who looked new, that one of the burgers is an allergy and stated protein style. He only entered protein style without notating allergen. Lettuce burger came in same bag as my regular burger and they were touching. Manager offered to remake it . The only issue is that the remake took 10 more minutes as they were slinging orders out the door. In my mind remakes should jump the line and be the next thing made. Overall I’ll be back, but consider not having your customers wait for a wrong order and then wait again for a remake on a busy Saturday night.

Candace Leebrick

A cool location of a great ice cream business. Employees are friendly and helpful. Every flavor is terrific (one of the family plans to have tried them all before moving). Because they design and make their own recipes, you will get to have perfect versions of familiar faves (cookies and cream, strawberry) and flavors you can't find anywhere else (Purple Mountain Majesty). Don't be afraid of their allergen-free options. If they can't make a flavor taste great as dairy-free, they don't sell a DF version. They have yummy options without dairy, without gluten, without both. On our afternoon visit it was easy to sit and talk with friends and enjoy a cool treat on one of the first hot days of summer. Sign up for their digital punch cards when they offer. You will be back, so you might as well start earning rewards.

Michelle Andree

Fantastic place for a variety of delicious fare! I stopped here for the first time today! My only regret is I NEVER stopped to eat here before today! I ordered the "DRAGON" breakfast choice and they made it gluten free for me because I suffer from severe Celiacs disease!! The food was a very generous portion of absolutely amazing food! I will definitely be back here! Additionally, I ordered the hot vanilla caramel latte coffee and it was delectable and satisfying!!! 10 stars out of 5 for sure! The employees are kind, professional and helpful...they also offer a "Real sugar soda" machine!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Bj Harman

We had a fabulous dinner here from start to finish. All 6 in our party had bison either burgers or on salad. House made chips and sauces also delicious. Separate gluten free menu with plenty of options and fully aware of necessary precautions. Highly recommend!

Christine Skelton

Tried the gluten free bun, it was good! Service was friendly and knowledgeable on options.

ian f

Love this place. Has gluten free for my wife and the owner is great.

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.

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.

Selina Thome

We had the egg rolls as a starter. They were delicious and enough to share between 4 adults. Then we had the Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice for dinner. It tasted so fresh and yummy! Then we had the chocolate cake for dessert. It was the perfect ending to an amazing dinner. Everything we had was gluten free! The owners are so knowledgeable and nice. They source their foods locally when possible and also buy fresh meats locally. We will certainly go back!

I have eaten here a number of times. But, oh, how it seems to have gone downhill. I ordered the "pork medallions " which I've had before. But tonight, the sauce was out of question, as it now has gluten. In the past, it did not. So, not only was the pork dry, but it wasn't even close to medallions. If it were another commodity, I'd call it stems and seeds. Nothing but some off ends and rejects from decent cuts, full of gissle and over-cookex to boot. The vegetables -- supposedly "fresh" -- were miserable and sloppily overcooked as well. The cabernet was overpriced, given its humble origin. If not for good service, I would rate this restaurant with 1-star today.

Casey Cromwell

I went here after learning firehouse subs usually had gluten free sub buns from schar. The workers did not seem as educated as the Jersey mikes employees I’ve met; but they did change gloves, wipe down the meat cutter, get me fresh ingredients from the back when I asked and prepared my sub in its own bin to prevent cross contact. It was yummy! I added sauces at home to avoid more cc risk.

Casey Cromwell

They have a gluten free menu and have been good when I request to make sure my gluten free order isn’t grilled in the same area as gluten, etc. the shrimp bowl is my fave. Sushi is ok but the bowls are better imo. The gf teriyaki sauce is 💯.
