This place has the best chicken strips! The breading is bomb (and I believe gluten free). The hot honey dipping sauce was our fav. All around a good place to eat!
Nestled in a bustling strip mall, this cozy spot boasts hearty brunch options, quick service, and stunning mountain views.

This place was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, with a wide variety of gluten-free options. They also offer plenty of coffee shop-style drinks, many of which can be made dairy-free—including some incredible boba choices. If you enjoy brunch-style alcoholic drinks, you’ll love their selection.
One policy I really appreciate is that they only seat you or add you to the waitlist once your entire party has arrived. It helps keep things moving smoothly and avoids the chaos of massive waitlists on apps.
While the exterior might not suggest it, the bathroom setup is great. There’s a single restroom for each gender, and the women’s was surprisingly spacious—easy to move around in and thoughtfully equipped with a great setup for changing a baby’s diaper.
Cozy mountain-town vibe with a lively atmosphere, offering a mix of flavorful dishes and unique drinks like the avocado margarita.

Wait staff was friendly, food tasted alright. Menu was clear about dietary restrictions and differentiated between plain gluten free and celiacs (no cross contamination), which was nice. Barbacoa tacos gave me food poisoning.

My BF and I were there today for lunch. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. I am gluten sensitive and I was so happy to see so many "gluten free" or "gluten free available" items on the menu. I had the wild game meatloaf with mashed potatoes and it tasted great. The server and the manager were attentive and made us feel cared for.

I would not recommend this place for anyone who is gluten free.
I ordered the gf French toast, but when it arrived, it didn't appear to be gf. After questioning the server, he confirmed it was, but he was incorrect. I should have left the moment I realized the server did not know the difference.
They took the plate back and replaced it with the correct toast. However, the gf toast was placed on the same plate that had previously contained gluten, contaminating the food. They attempted to correct this again, but I'm unsure if they used the contaminated gf toast on a new plate.
At this point, I had lost all trust in their ability to handle gluten free orders, so I decided not to eat it.
To make matters worse, they failed to bring all of our ordered items and charged us for things we didn't order.
Chill vibes and killer views make this spot a must-visit, with a menu packed with locally sourced options for every palate.

I would not recommend this place if you are gluten free.
I initially had a great experience, the server was knowledgeable about allergens and the food (gluten free fettuccine bolognese) was delicious. However, when I later heated up my leftovers I found 2 macaroni noodles in my dish, which were not gluten free. This meant everything I ate was contaminated.
I would not feel safe going back.

Three gals on an overnight getaway in Estes thoroughly enjoyed this place! The staff was welcoming, the menu was labeled for GF items ( although even better, the host said that every item is made to order and many more could be made gluten free.) I got the beef pho which was so flavorful and warming on a cold night. We appreciated that the chef/owner stopped by to see how our meal was. I will definitely be back!

We ordered the Mint Matcha Shake, Honey Breve, Bacon Burrito, and Gluten-Free Bacon Bagel Sandwich (though be aware that the gluten-free option is prepared in a gluten-contaminated environment).
The shake was incredible—I loved the refreshing mint and matcha combination! The breve was equally impressive, with rich coffee notes and no burnt aftertaste, which we really appreciated.
As for the food, it was just okay. It lacked flavor and could have used more seasoning, but it was decent enough. The atmosphere was relaxed, though a bit crowded with lots of foot traffic.
That said, it’s absolutely worth visiting for the coffee and specialty drinks alone!

Brunch & Co has amazing indoor and outdoor seating inside the Stanley hotel. You will have to pay for parking, but you receive a token that is good for a discount at one of their onsite restaurants. The view from the patio is extremely beautiful and the seating is comfortable. The menus is varied but includes Gluten Free options you will find something for everyone one. We had brunch for my birthday and had an amazing time. The asada fries are excellent. We will be coming back.

Completely weird experience. Because of celiac disease we asked the server if the items marked as gluten free used a dedicated fryer to avoid gluten cross-contamination (many restaurants do but not all). He said nothing is gluten free, even the things marked as gluten free because there is bread in the kitchen and the only thing gluten free is water so there was nothing we should order. It wasn’t said as a joke. So we left and will avoid this place while in Estes.
Enjoy stunning views and a beautiful atmosphere while indulging in well-presented dishes and a diverse drink selection for a great evening out.

I am picky with my food. I had no complaints from this restaurant. I had steak, brussel sprouts, and French onion soup. The salads were the right size and the cranberry vinaigrette was great. The scallop appetizer was tasty too. Crème bru le was the perfect consistency. Hubby had the burger and said it was good but the brioche bun was a bit dense for him. They clearly label the gluten free options on the menu. The wine options were varied. The view was pretty. The staff was attentive. We had to ask for refills once but caught one of the hosts walking by when the waiter was busy. Everything was paced well, drinks came quickly. The manager came over and checked on us. It was a fun evening, the waiter was knowledgeable on the menu. We sat down when a larger party was thankfully wrapping up as they were a bit loud but the rest of the evening was quiet and relaxing.
Expect a cozy vibe with tasty homemade bread and decent prices, though the service might feel rushed at times.

Delicious food.
We loved the spaghetti scampi!
The homemade garlic bread was really tasty.
Gluten free options available. (Gluten free bread too).
We made a reservation for 8pm but it seemed like the staff was a little bit in a rush to close, even if we still had plenty of time.
A bit on the pricey side, but the atmosphere is cute and refreshing, plus it's independently owned - a nice change from chain restaurants.

Not sure what’s happened, but our burgers were tiny. Normally we can’t even finish them because they’re so big. Maybe they reduced the size due to the 4th of July holiday. Still tasty, but you don’t get much for the price. $50 for 2 burgers. $3.50 for gluten free buns and $5 for a large soda.
A gem in Estes Park with fantastic gyros and generous portions in a fun, laid-back atmosphere—definitely worth a visit!

The atmosphere is fine for a burger place. The service was not great. My water was never refilled. I asked about food containing gluten, I was told the fries had their own fryer but was not told they coat them in flour. It didn’t seem like anyone knew anything here. We were a large party so they automatically add 18% tip when our service was bad. Very disappointing. There’s nothing that stands out as being good.

Absolutely delicious!! Husband had the Pitmaster sandwich and brown beans. He said the beans were outstanding. I had a pulled pork platter with mashed potatoes and green beans. Some of the best pulled pork I've ever had! The sides were also good, but I was so full from the meat and the portions were so large, I couldn't finish it. The cornbread was also good and I appreciate the chunks for corn in it. Our kids both had chicken strips and fries, which they devoured. We'd definitely eat here again!!
Few elements that didn't really dampen our experience but could be improved:
- offer milk with kids meals rather than just soda / juice
- turn down the music volume a bit; we were seated right under a speaker and it was hard to have a conversation
- indicate on the menu which items are Gluten Friendly
- fix up the bathroom - it's a bit rough
A cozy, tucked-away spot with a mountain-inspired vibe, great pour-over coffee, and a charming selection of unique stationery and decor.

What a treat!
This was my last stop on my last morning of my 6 day trip throughout Colorado. What a perfect ending.
First and foremost, I only drink decaf coffee, so most of the coffee shops can only give me an espresso drink. I was so lucky and happy when I came in and saw that this establishment provided pour over! That's what I make for myself every morning, so I was absolutely made to feel at home in this very welcoming establishment.
I got some snacks in addition, and because I'm gluten free I was also pleased to find that they had something I could eat. Not a lot on the menu that was gluten-free, but the muffin was delicious.
I took my snacks upstairs with my coffee and found an absolutely beautiful sitting area. A vaulted ceiling that reminds me of an A-frame in the mountains, and a pretty view through many windows and skylights.
I also couldn't help but pick up some of the paper goods that they had on sale, and if I had more time I would have enjoyed shopping throughout their lovely store.
I wish that I had found and tried this establishment earlier, it would have been hard not to make it my everyday morning stop.
Enthusiastic five stars

I absolutely loved this Thai restaurant in Estes Park. After hiking and driving through Rocky Mountains National Park, I was hungry and found this gem.
The staff were funominal and the food was so delicious. I ordered the Padi as usual, and it was just perfect steaming hot.
It has a little different spices than my other favorite in Tennessee but very good.
I was so full I couldn't eat the sticky mango rice that I really wanted but to full. Next time for sure.
My friend got the fried tofu, and wow, the cubes were huge. This is not gluten-free because they are battered, but it looked really good. He also got a large salad with so much variety of good ingredients.
We both loved this restaurant food.
I will definitely be back when I am in the area again.
I would highly recommend experiencing this venue.

We've visited Coffee on the Rocks a few times, and it's always a pleasant experience. The staff is consistently kind and helpful, and the food is pretty good. We've tried the gluten-free bagel sandwich (though be aware of potential cross-contamination) and the croissant sandwich—both were tasty. Their coffee and tea are also excellent!
The atmosphere is charming, especially for duck lovers, as there are plenty of ducks roaming around. You can even feed them for $1, which makes it a fun spot for kids. However, be prepared—there's duck poop everywhere!
On sunny days, the outdoor seating is a great place to relax and enjoy your drink. Overall, it's a nice spot with good food and drinks, a welcoming vibe, and a unique outdoor experience.

Stopped here because reviews said they had good gluten free mini donuts…. They do not. They said they had some but frozen and I was like … ok I’ll try it. It was a frozen store bought donut. I’m a baker and own my own bakery and I would NEVER offer store bought anything to customers. The kids got some other donuts and they didn’t like the way they tasted. Service was fine and I left a tip but this was nothing to write home about and certainly NOT a must gluten free stop. Just save yourself.

We used Shakes Alive for some lunch catering while we were having services for a party at Glow, next door. They were AMAZING to work with. Urosh (sp?) the manager worked with me from our first phone call to the day of and offered us special menu options that were not their 'normal' since we had several girl with dietary needs (Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten/Sodium Free) and the food was exactly what we wanted. Their courtyard is adorable, and we had lunch there while in-between services at Glow. The smoothies were delicious, it is Palisade Peach Season here in CO and we had specialities with them. The staff was great, super helpful and made sure that we were well taken care of. The concept that we had SIXTEEN guests with all different menu selections made it complicated, but they crew made it perfect for our spa day.

Their pizza was excellent! We had one regular and one gluten-free pizza. The crusts were amazing. This is one of the best gluten-free crusts I've had - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The sauce and toppings were top notch, too.
Be sure to check it their website to see where they actually are. Google has them placed at a park in Estes Park, but they move around. The calendar on their website will tell you where they are. They were at a brewery the day we went.

Dog friendly adorable little spot off the main road. People working there were very sweet and helpful. The menu isn’t super extensive but the salmon salad had some of the best cooked salmon I’ve had in a while. There aren’t a huge number of gluten free items BUT that was easily overlooked because of the service and the fact that we could bring our dog inside with us on a colder day.
