Top 18 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens to Explore in Denver

Ashley King-Roads

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

Casey Cromwell

Soooooo many amazing options to choose from! Our surprise faves were the soft pretzels bites and the sourdough bread. Donuts were also yummy! They also had many dairy free and vegan options and were very allergy aware.

Ian Hildebrandt

Now that they have animal protein it is a game changer! Chicken and braised pork. 100% gluten free menu. Really great food.

Kendall Spina

Go to spot, delicious food with interesting flavors combinations that have me coming back! Safe for gluten free and took other allergies very seriously!

Lindsay Johnson

Highly recommend this restaurant for a tapas dinner. Everything we tried was delicious and added bonus that it's gluten free.

Perrin Brown

Very attentive staff and a clearly marked menu

Conner Lyapunov

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)

Anna Tumadottir

Top notch food. Quick and friendly service, Corey was attentive and helpful with modifications. Especially great spot for those with restrictions, options for vegan AND gluten free needs. New favorite: hibiscus green iced tea 🍵🧊

If you’re EVER near Denver, this is a must stop. I live in Colorado Springs and have already warned my partner that their gluten free Nutella pizza will be a pregnancy craving in the future we’re def driving for. 😂 They use gluten removed wheat starch from Italy (celiac safe but not safe for a wheat allergy) and separate prep areas and ovens for gluten free orders. Their fried eggplant is also one of the best meals I’ve ever had from a restaurant. They do have vegan cheese options too.

It’s order at the front, then they bring items to the table for you. If you like Kombucha, they have a rotating homemade Kombucha flavor which they make very well. I always leave here with my tummy feeling great. I do think the portions are on the small side, so come here if you want to feel light after eating. So many delicious gluten free options, and the staff are attentive to your dietary needs which I really appreciate

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.

I voluntarily stayed longer in the airport to eat here! Worth it, such incredible food, and not too crazy prices for airport GF food.

First time coming to ‘El five’, my partner and I were first sat in a very awkward table on the edge of the restaurant- thankfully they were accommodating to moving us out to the patio. We were initially asked if we had any allergies (my partner has a gluten allergy and another allergy as well- any consumption of either causes severe debilitating migraines, blacking out, and loss of appetite for at least a week) we were made aware of which options were gluten free- the server was more than knowledgeable about the ingredients and advised us of the fact that they use the same fryer for both gluten and gluten free options. If you have celiac, I would avoid getting food here. We initially were looking to get the eggplant fries which say they’re “gluten free” but yet are not guaranteed. Our server gave us a recommendation based on allergy preference. When the food came out we weren’t sure what we had ordered since we had to switch our initial pick so we were not dealing with any cross contamination. They ended up bringing out the wrong dish to the wrong table and unfortunately my partner consumed a good majority before we were made aware the mistake happened. If you are gluten free or have any sort of allergy definitely be weary of ordering and double check before consuming. They ended up not charging us for our meals thankfully- unfortunately that doesn’t change the mistake made but the gesture was appreciated. On the bright side, the drinks were good and the people working at there were very nice- just be cautious and ask twice. ** Update- definitely a major concern for anyone with celiac, not worth it for the price or the possibility of being served food containing an allergen without them triple checking that they’re doing everything right. Our bill totaled $160 for two people. The only reason we went here was for the abundance of gluten free menu items advertised, which they clearly cannot truly provide. You would think they could afford to have a separate fryer to actually accommodate the allergies that are LABELED MENU ITEMS LISTED AS GF. I hope someone within management/ownership realizes the detrimental effect that this caused and will make changes to the way they prepare/serve food. I have been to restaurants with no gluten free options that were able to accommodate us no problems and no worries after the fact. Don’t waste your time or money.

We had breakfast there twice while staying at the hotel. The service is excellent and the Eggs Benedict was amazing. The use polenta instead of bread and proscuitto instead of the more traditional Canadian bacon. I would like to go back and try dinner here as the ambiance is really cool. Big windows facing the street. I am Celiac and they have lots of Gluten Free options in addition to a dedicated GF prep space. They take it very seriously and I was safe here. The bar area is really cool on the corner of the building.

Ryan Martin

This place is great if you have a dairy allergy as most things are vegan by default. If you have a gluten allergy you have to be careful as they do not have have a dedicated gluten free fryer. The killer for me is that I have issues with gluten dairy and soy. They had very few dishes available that could accommodate my soy allergy. Caprese pizza with cashew ricotta. It was ok. I was devestated I couldn't have the chicken and waffles. Great cocktails.

Caitlin Kirby

Holden was excellent and very attentive. He had great knowledge about the desserts and what was gluten and dairy free. Wonderful experience.

Jes Duffy

This is the best Gluten Free & Celiac Safe bakery EVER! They are 100% gluten free, I was shocked when I went to order and everything I saw was gluten free, because it looks that good! Not only is the presentation of the food absolutely amazing, but I can’t even begin to talk about the taste! Everything I have tried has been incredible there. They have, donuts, bagels (& bagel sandwiches!!), cannolis, beignets, baguettes, cinnamon rolls, crepes, & more!!! I’m always blown away with the taste. If you go, I recommend trying the “Whole Lotta Farm” breakfast sandwich, the cinnamon rolls (which you can take home frozen!!), and the cannoli. Everything is made fresh DAILY, which is amazing! But be warned that if you see something you want on the menu, the earlier in the day you go, the better. Because everything is made fresh you have to get there before it sells out! Or you have to wait til the next day. So so happy I found this place!!

Angela L'Esperance

The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I went two days in a row because it was so good and celiac safe. Everything tasted fresh. Can’t beat fresh squeezed juices for cocktails. We need one in Minneapolis, MN.

Megan Dancer

This place is an anomaly. Amazing vibe, amazing food, great prices, and gluten free options. How there is only one of these is beyond me!

Gill Elliott

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

Nancy Deal-Whitacre

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

Ashley King-Roads

Dedicated gluten free menu. Staff was super knowledgeable and recommend as a celiac.

Crika Berry

There’s a reason they don’t put the gluten free doughnuts out on display - they are sad, tiny, and mushy. And they taste the way they look. The fact that they charge $4.25 for a single one is absurd. Save yourself the time and money and skip this place.

Abe

The food was excellent! The menu is clearly labeled with vegan and gluten-free options, which made ordering easy. Mashroom masala was delicious. Rakesh, who served us, was friendly and attentive throughout the meal.

Alexis and Ky Thompson

The food was definitely below average quality for the cost and while they have a gluten free bun it is *dry*. I’d go somewhere else.

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!

Megan Gray

Great vegan and gluten free ice cream! I was so excited to stumble upon this place! Everything is gf/df. I can’t wait to go back and will definitely recon this spot to others!! The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leroy’s Bagels is a hidden gem that everyone needs to experience! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked bagels fills the air, making your mouth water in anticipation. The variety of house-made cream cheeses is absolutely incredible—each one more delicious than the last. Whether you’re a classic plain lover or adventurous enough to try their unique flavors, there’s something for everyone. I was thrilled to find they offer gluten-free bagels, which is a game-changer for those of us with dietary restrictions. It’s so refreshing to see a place that caters to all! The quality of ingredients at Leroy’s is top-notch, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor. Plus, the prices are surprisingly affordable, making it easy to indulge without breaking the bank. Accessibility is a big plus, too! The bike lane nearby makes it convenient for cyclists like me to swing by and grab a delicious breakfast or snack. Overall, Leroy’s Bagels is a must-visit spot for anyone in the area. I can’t recommend it enough—delicious food, great prices, and a welcoming atmosphere! Can't wait to go back! 🥯❤️

Liana Burke

Attentive service, good drink menu, and yummy food. TONS of gluten free options. Decor is sparse, and ambiance lacks "warmth". Easy location and free parking.

Carly Kreiger

Eddie was great and helped us navigate the menu with a gluten allergy

Carissa Colegrove

Got a dozen cupcakes for a birthday. They were moist and delicious. Even the gluten free ones! Staff was quick and nice!

Eric Hardway

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

Bowen J Knarr Jr

What greater compliment can I give to these fantastic Montreal wood fired style bagels then this fun fact about my dad. He has been to Colorado exactly twice and the only place he wanted to eat at both visits is Woodgrain. Plus these are my go to bagels for client drop offs as they have a wonderful gluten free bagels and dairy free cream cheese so everyone can enjoy!!!

Lindsay Ritsema

Great wine, great gluten free food

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.

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

Megan

I currently have some dietary restrictions that are very hard to follow (no dairy, soy or gluten). The people at Duo were extremely accommodating and were able to make a fantastic meal fitting my restrictions. The atmosphere was great and very welcoming.

Brigit Mclain

I had never been to a cheesecake factory before but I will definitely be back! I ordered a Cobb salad and subbed steak for the chicken (trying to get a steak and blue cheese feel) and the steak was not worth the $10 additional dollars. I asked for it medium rare and got well done. However, once I brought it to our servers attention, he took it back to fix it. The salad was delicious 🤤 the gluten free Godiva cheesecake is delectable

MG Hodge

I originally was here for a private party that Gabrielle was working - she was wonderful! I returned later and she was my server. I let her know immediately I was gluten free, and she was incredibly helpful and well informed. The burger was absolutely delicious- the gluten free bun was so good and the burger was the right proportion for the bun. I will absolutely be back!!

Jessica Duncan

Tiffany did an incredible job with the dessert bar for our wedding! She even drove down from Denver to CO Springs through a snowstorm! We always buy cupcakes from Yours Truly for every occasion, so of course we had them do our wedding as well. They created custom cupcake flavors for us and well as made gluten-free options. The s'mores bar looked amazing and the hot chocolate bar was a huge hit because of the weather. We definitely recommend them for all of your cupcake and dessert needs!

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!

Clara Diaz

My first time there we went with friends and the restaurant came recomended. It’s a nice restaurant in downtown Denver. Nice atmosphere to the place and the service was really great. The main down side as a vegetarian there are basically no options. I didn’t see anything for vegan or gluten free etc. I was told by the waitress the they could ask the chef if he could throw me together some pasta. Hmm that sounds so appealing especially at those prices! Very odd that a place doesn’t cater to dietary restrictions this day and age. Most restaurants are very accommodating so that was very unfortunate.

Anna Lynn

So fun - accommodated our celiac daughter easily! Not many places she can go without feeling like she's missing something but they didn't make her feel left out!

Sarah Boettcher

I’m pretty thrilled with this chain. I’ve been to one brick-and-mortar, and two truck locations, and it should be noted that hours vary so check ahead before you go. I’ve ordered one lunch and two breakfast sandwiches from here, and they’re all stellar. The latkes are not to be missed! Their gluten-free option is a yucca cheesy bread —which is firm and kind of crusty like a bagel — is pretty great. Also, I thought their drip coffee was amazing.

Mae Reill

Very very good bagel sandwiches for a fair price with a gluten free option. their bacon is a little salty for my taste, but the majority of their shmears and their spicy honey is a good foil to the saltiness

Tim Farkas

Cute little dessert place that’s open late. We ordered the A17 Snow White juice & red bean with green tea ice cream. It was very tasty and refreshing! They had quite a few gluten free options. And the staff was friendly.

Mary R

Very quaint, cute spot that takes reservations! Amazing food with solid gluten/ grain free options (can sub zoodles or spaghetti squash for pasta - hefty portion!). I had the Bolognese. I think it’s important to remember that our restaurants are having hard times right now! Yes, we did have a little confusion with the staff and our reservation but it got sorted out. The staff was genuine and cared. If you’re in a hurry, go elsewhere! We are grateful we can go out to eat and support a local place.

Ms Alhadi

We had the best anniversary experience in this restaurant Matthew was amazing. He knew exactly about my Celiac and gluten-free protocols and explained exactly what I can eat and I can't eat. I did not get sick. Very safe. The food was delicious. The gluten-free bread was so soft and I literally finished it in 2 seconds. The atmosphere was great and we had such an amazing time celebrating our anniversary. Oh and if you're not dairy free get the ice cream gelato and if you are dairy-free like me, get the mango sorbet. Just be careful all their pastas are not gluten free

Daniel Hawtof

They are working on having a gluten free bagel. Thanks! Cant’t wait!
