Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Downtown Boulder

Linda Bumpas

Where do i start??? Okay, Shelly the gm was outstanding! She made us feel so welcome and when she visited our table, she was not in any rush and was super warm and friendly. She was super generous wanting us to try their different foods. Evan the chef brought out gluten free cookies that were so good! They weren't even on the menu! Claire, our waittress made us feel right at home and assured us how safe the kitchen is for celiac/gluten free. She was amazing!

Snooze is the best breakfast spot in Boulder. The menu is diverse, the food is amazing, and the service is always good. Gluten free options, too

Hapa Sushi accommodated our large group with large amounts of sushi and fun! I did find a stink bug crawling across the table this time but I thankfully was able to forget about it and enjoy all the gluten free food options!!!!

Maggie

Great place to go if you have celiac and/or a dairy allergy. They took precautions to prevent cross contamination and the gluten free cones were delicious.

C Girv

Lots of delicious naturally gluten free dishes. Chefs Kiss!

We visited this restaurant after learning they offered gluten-free ramen, a critical consideration for myself and my 6-year-old and 10-year-old daughters, since we all have celiac disease. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing and harmful. Upon delivering our meals, the server inaccurately identified which dishes were gluten-free. Midway through our meal, I noticed my eldest daughter’s noodles looked different from mine, and it became clear they had served her the wrong dish. When we alerted the staff to their grave error, the response was a dismissive apology with no attempt to correct the mistake, offer compensation, or even check on my daughter’s well-being. As a result, she is now severely unwell, and we may need to visit urgent care. For someone with celiac disease, this mistake isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it risks weeks of recovery, long-term health complications, and heightened cancer risks. The lack of safeguards to prevent allergen mix-ups is alarming, and the staff’s negligence and lack of accountability are unacceptable. Restaurants catering to dietary restrictions must prioritize rigorous training and protocols. This incident reflects a systemic failure, and I urge others with allergies or celiac disease to exercise extreme caution here.

Amazing place, staff, and food! Gluten free menu! Hope it stays in Boulder forever.

My favorite quick bite to eat in Boulder. They have fresh tasting food which doesn’t break the bank (sandwiches, soups, and sweet treats). I don’t make it to Boulder much anymore, but when I do, I make sure to go there over almost any other place to eat. It also caters to well to vegetarians, gluten free, and vegans. And just a heads up as a mostly meat eater, I will eat the vegan and veggie meals because they are that good. Lastly, Marcy and Julie, run an extremely professional, welcoming, and heartwarming sandwich shop. I promise you that everyone in your party will have an option no matter their diet and will leave happy

Gluten free options. Delicious garlic fries. Very good burger. Sold out of holidaly beer!

Erin Wright

Fantastic GF options. Highly recommended for those with celiac disease. GF fried Chile relleno was amazing. And the fried jalapeno caps are out of this world!

Anna Murray

Disappointing first experience. Although the food was not terrible, it was not spectacular. I am celiac and unfortunately did get sick after seitan was put into my meal. I had requested vegan and gluten free for my meal. Although I am unsure if this is why I felt sick since 2 others in my party got sick after meal and neither have dietary restrictions. Then to make the experience a little worse, my husband's burrito had the paper that separates the cheese slices inside his burrito. The server kindly comped the burrito. Nevertheless, we will not be returning to this restaurant.

Lindsay

Fantastic NYE dinner! Many gluten and dairy free options that were all delicious!

Chris Cowperthwait

Pizza was great. The gluten free crust seems to have changed but it's still very good. Nice to sit outside while it was still warm enough.

Maggie Snow

They have gluten free crepes! I visited out to Colorado and I must say, Colorado is a super gluten free friendly state but the fact that I got to have crepes (Nutella ones at that) was a highlight for me! They were delicious as was their coffee and it was an overall wonderful experience and a restaurant I would definitely recommend and visit again myself!

Sandra Twetten

I can’t believe anyone has ever given this place less than 5 stars. My husband and I have been going here for special occasions for the past 3 years and every single time, it’s absolutely perfect. I have a gluten allergy and they are always ready for me with all gluten free options, the service is impeccable and the food / wine leaves you on cloud nine. We’ve been all over the world and have had a hard time finding a dining experience that gets it right as consistently as Frasca. It’s a true treat. Cannot wait to go back.

Brian Tompkins

Super menu with vegetarian as well as gluten and dairy free options. Great service and atmosphere. I enjoyed my plata while watching our party sharing a wide variety of delicious tapas. Wonderful experience.

RED TALKS

FANtastic pizza. Soo so good. I'll keep coming back here for SURE. Best part about it is that my mom could eat here too (she is gluten free/celiac). Eating out with my parents and wife for my wife's bday was the first time in YEARS I haven't seen my mom bring her own food. The pizza was to die for (as they say) but that's a very contradictory statement lol. EAT HERE, SO GOOD!!

Jamie Hale

Love the chicken soup for a gluten free lunch!

Andy Horn

Really good pizza and fast. My daughter enjoyed the gluten free pizza. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Pizza Colore.

Yulun Hsiao

I am from Taiwan, it tastes a little different from what I have back home, but it’s so good that I will for sure come again. p.s. my celiac gf enjoyed it too

Steve S.

This place has a great, casual atmosphere and of course the rooftop views are amazing. I usually go to Mangia Panino because they offer a fantastic gluten free sweet potato gnocchi option, and great chicken parm.

Barbie Liddle

Always delicious! Gluten free ravioli is a must try! Gluten-free garlic bread is awesome!

Deb S

What a beautiful, cozy spot to enjoy a night out! Even though there are a good number of seats, the interior is structured so that it feels as if you are in rooms of a private home; intimate without being aware of the conversations at nearby tables. The staff were warm, knowledgeable and attentive. Super accommodating of a gluten-free party. The food was hearty and beautifully plated. Highly recommend!

Naomi Hopps

Best spot on pearl street for a 1st date or to get out of the sun. Best staff in town, they make me feel welcome and serve a great vegan burger! U can even get gluten free bread.

Melissa K-W

Delicious Falafel. The best food on Pearl Street. Has many vegan options as well as gluten-free pita.

Carm N

The vegan and gluten free Old B cookie was absolutely delightful! The flavor was rich and delicious. Each bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and taste. I highly recommend these cookies to anyone, vegan or non-vegan, looking for a tasty treat.

Sarabeth Berk Bickerton

Divine! This was a great date spot and delicious. One of the best Caesar salads I’ve tried, super flavorful and fresh. Agree with other reviews, the ravioli is perfection. We also had the filet, which was tender and tasty. They have gluten free bread but no gluten free pastas yet. Will definitely be back.

Michael Green

My wife had the gluten free version of the Linguini Scampi. She loved it! I had the rigatoni piscatory. Also really good.

Jerome Kelley

Love this place! Just went for the first time and the food and drinks were all fire! The staff was fantastic and the 4 - 6pm everyday happy hour is <chef's kiss>. Also, gluten free fried jerked chicken and Beyond Burgers?? What?! I'll definitely be back. REGULARLY.

Ben Ritter

Delicious!! Celiac with a peanut allergy here. Felt very safe eating here, and the pabellon was excellent.

James C.

The food was fresh, high quality and imaginative. A special shout out to our server Wyatt! He was so personable and called me by my first name from the open table reservation, when initially greeting us. Wyatt was especially attentive, and executed our gluten free request accurately. Most of all he offered me a very genuine and kind Birthday wish when serving us dessert so much so that it made my girlfriend tear up. There are so many great restaurants in Boulder, but in my opinion service is what sets them apart and Wyatt should be recognized for his hard work, effort and kindness. Thank you Japango for helping us celebrate this last Fish Friday of the Lent season and reeling in an awesome 40th Birthday Celebration.

Sonia Knapp

Nice place with a good variety of food and drinks under one roof. Different seating options. Lots of vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options.

Ian the Hairy

Had a great time. Music wasn't the ordinary Mexican music. Loved it. Food was great. Gluten free options.

Diane Ford

The gluten-free crust is excellent and offers a great view of the Main Street area.

Emma C Siegel

Awesome spot for lunch! I came back 2 days in a row. The house rice bowl is SO good and they have free electrolyte water on tap. Menu is labeled with gluten free, this is a good option for folks like me with Celiac

Becky

These guys are taking the Pandemic seriously! They pass your card back and forth with a 6 foot pole. The Rotisserie Chicken is to die for and the salads are great! I have to eat gluten free but my kids enjoy the slice and a cookie combo. In the past they wld ask for pizza dough to play with which is a big hit while they wait. We Love This Place & Always Have! Even the owner is fun with his daily trivia questions! Great guy!

Layla Dehrab

All of the tacos and chips were completely gluten free!! Delicious, reasonably priced, and didn’t get sick!

Parker Slusky

Really good tasting quick food and they are good with gluten free as well.

Kirin Loomis

Delicious! I had the onion soup and the gluten-free brownie.

Sean Gray

Normally a pretty big fan of their nine iron panini, and have been a fan of their gluten free bread for quite some time. My latest order with them was a pretty big disappointment due to the much smaller gluten free buns. I also did not receive any meat with my sandwich so it was essentially a mini lettuce sandwich. Accidents happen, but I really hope that Postino is not significantly downsizing their gluten free bread moving forward because it’s simply not worth the price.

Kat

Good coffee. The gluten free breads they carry are good too

Stefanie Powell

Amazing gluten free treats!

Casey Hibbard

We live in Boulder, and honestly, it can be tough to find a place that feeds all the different tastes and food restrictions in our family - at an affordable price. ND has a fantastic new menu that fed the gluten-free, dairy-free person in our group (me) and the super picky pre-teen. We're adding ND to our small list of places where we can get a yummy meal without busting our budget. They also have a great happy hour and kids eat free on Tuesdays. Congrats on the new menu, guys!

Brian Hedstrom

Super fresh salads and mostly gluten free options

Lexi

Delicious and has gluten free buns. One of the best burgers I got in colorado while visiting! Staff is also great.

Kirin Loomis

Delicious! And the imported flour did not trigger any issues with gluten the way American flour does to me.

Heather Carnahan

Excellent! We recommend the Sausage Platter to share and a liter of cinder. Their French fries are gluten free and perfectly fried.

Michael Goulder

Amazing dinner experience with my wife for our anniversary. They started us out with complementary champagne and it only got better from there. The staff were fantastic, attentive, and so knowledgeable about the menu and drink list which is important for my Celiac wife. Delicious and unique cocktails that were all excellent. The food was excellent and perfect portion sizes, not too small like some other high end restaurants and not large enough to make you feel sick afterwards. We will absolutely be back soon. Highly recommend.

Karen Shurtleff

This is the perfect little shack right on the Pearl Street Mall to grab the best grilled cheese sandwiches, including gluten-free, and some of the best french fries! Only considering it. It's definitely worth every bite! My go-to gluten free is the classic with ham and tomato.

The Baker Girls

Had the Colorado burger on a gluten free bun….Literally best burger I’ve ever had. Wish the fries were gluten free, my daughter had the truffle fries with her burger and said they were delicious… we’re from Dallas TX wishing we had a Rooted close to home. We will be back!
