Top 50 Gluten-Free Vegan Havens Across Colorado

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.

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

Solid options for gluten free, tasty eats

Jennifer George

Fabulous fish and chips! 🤌🏻

Ordered gluten free pasta but unfortunately had a regular noodle mixed in.

This is a great place to eat. I was curious about for their fried oyster mushrooms and they were other worldly delicious. We shares with our tablemates and everyone enjoyed them. We had a small bowl of their vegan posole which was very flavorful and satisfying and filing. We shared their falafel wrap which was packed with great fillings and three or four falafel balls. Also very satisfying. My complaint may be aged based as I'm older, and also I also used to work in the food industry. This is a counter service restaurant. You get everything yourself, they bring out the food. Explain to me why at the end of purchase, there is an automatic 18% tip? You can change it, they suggest 20% or 25% (FOR NO SERVICE) and right below a button to customize or offer no tip. I am not going to be a shmuck and not tip at all, but starting at 18%? I gave 10%. I've watched the industry deal with wage issues. I know the margins are thin for restaurants. Maybe it is hitting me more since we just came back from Spain, where there is a different price for sit down verses bar and no tipping (and a whole different culture of how we care for people). But assuming 18% or more tip for counter service is audacious. Will I recommend this place? Yes. This is a great addition to vegan/vegetarian and gluten free food scene in Denver. They also offer chicken and fish and pork for the meat eaters. It's cool and hip and welcoming. The food is tasty. Try it.

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

100% gluten free beer brewery! It's away from the main areas, but worth the drive to enjoy.

Stephanie Wilson

The gourmet gluten free cakes are decadent

Maren Rael Safran

This place is incredible, especially for someone who has celiac. The food was delicious, some of the sauces were so surprising it really made the dish. There are plenty of GF of options to try.

Perrin Brown

Very attentive staff and a clearly marked menu

Eliza Duquette

Food is tasty and fresh, love that nearly everything is gluten free. Casey our server was fabulous!!

Kayla King

Love this place!

Casey Cromwell

INCREDIBLE. Love all the flavors and toppings. Def best eaten fresh in restaurant but I’ve also reheated in air fryer at home.

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)

Nickie Mason

Dining gluten free at Virgillios is very expensive unless you get just a salad. They have gluten free lasagna but no other gluten free pasta.

Clay Upton

Loved it, totally gluten free, excellent price for excellent food

Jacques

Came here because of ads about the fried chicken! I haven’t had a real life chicken parmesan in years due to my gluten allergy but always craved one and was so excited to order it, my partner got the meatloaf and they loved it as did I my chicken parmesan though I wish it was pasta instead of squash but I can understand at least they had this option for me. The gluten free desserts were delicious, the chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter tart were to die for and we had their zero proof cocktail spicy margarita which was very flavorful to the point where we weren’t sure if it was NA! The cocktail was a big highlight for me, I could definitely come here again and try some more things off the menu!

I found this place on accident because I was the DD for my friends yesterday. All the bars that we were going to did not have any safe foods for me. I recently discovered my stomach cannot tolerate dairy and gluten. So, my partner found this place for me to go to on my own. I had a great waiter named Rob H, who was so nice and had really fast service. I couldn't believe how full I got so fast on the food, the ventilation in this restaurant is really good, so I felt safe taking my mask off when I needed to eat. Another thing that sold me was they served luke warm water in bottles and I'm always asking restaurants for this and they never accommodate. This is why I always go into food places with my own water bottle, but I don't need to do that here. It's very LGBT friendly, I felt very seen and safe. I also loved that I do not think they serve any drinks with high fructose corn syrup (which is another trigger ingredient I can't have). They have a small little bakery and I loved how they had alcohol stuff, but it was minimal and it was less in my face. As a person who's trying to stay sober, I really appreciated this. I definitely will be back and I'll be telling all my friends about this place. The food was hot, came fast and super filling. I hope next time I can talk to the chef so they can give me pointers on how to cook gluten free and dairy free dishes that are filling, because I'm struggling with that. 5 stars, hands down

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!

Emily Jones

so so good !! they are gluten free, grain free, dairy free & so much more! literally some of the best bakery items i’ve ever had !!

Casey Cromwell

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.

Isabella Perez (Bella)

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.

Paige Beach

Fly to Denver just to eat here. Outstanding gluten free options including pancakes, fries, soup. This place has 3 kitchens! One dedicated gf, one for vegetarian and a regular kitchen. Everyone around us raved about their food. It’s great to find a place that is gf and yummy for my non-gf friends. Eric was a fantastic waiter! We will stop by every time we come through!

Jessica

So excited about their many gluten free, celiac safe options. I wasn't even expecting them to have anything for me to eat, as I was out with some friends. I ordered the burger with GF bun and GF fries (they have separate fryers and pans for the gluten free foods). And it tasted sooooo good. Very satisfied 😌

Caitlin Jackson

I ordered takeout while visiting from out of town. I accidentally ordered pickup but because I was at a conference I couldn’t leave to pick it up. I called and the kind owner Monse picked up and told me she’d deliver my food herself. Which she of course did. The food was wonderful! Filled with flavor. I wish I lived closer and could come back. I had one beef and cheese pupusa, one beef and cheese pupusa, and rice. Service was top notch of course. And to top it off all off, as someone who needs gluten free food, finding this place with authentic, amazing safe food was the highlight of my trip.

Danni Hayes

I ordered one of just about every gluten free appetizer since they have a dedicated fryer. Everything was so delicious and the service was awesome! Also recommend the wedge salad mmmMMmm

I was so excited to stumble upon a Gluten Free bakery that my boyfriend and I make the trip back and picked up a few more items to try out. I will say the orange poppyseed muffin was the winner and the funfetti and lemon blueberry cakes are great. The staff was super nice both times I was in as well. I think we would personally pass on the cinnamon rolls and monkey bread the next time. The texture is definitely more like a bagel and something in the flour substitute in those particular baked goods (possibly a xantham or guar gum to help with texture) seemed to cause both my boyfriend and I serious GI upset (diarrhea/gas/bloating) the rest of the day. Overall a great find and I don’t want to dock them any stars for our sensitive GI tracts.

Tad Rockwell

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.

Julie Castillo

Love City O’ City, been coming here for over 15 years. The food is top notch, service is great, and we beat the morning brunch rush by arriving at 10 o’clock on a Saturday. Met a dear friend there for our last breakfast before she moved out of state. Nice to know this place is still doing well. Had the chicken and waffles…it was delicious and gluten-free.

Sydney Bosshart

The new mulato glaze short rib is to die for!!! Falls off the bone no need for a knife. And the gluten free churros or bruleed banana split are a great way to end a great meal!!!

Casey Cromwell

100% gluten free and lots of fun small plates (perfect for sharing) to choose from! We loved the shrimp and grits and the flourless cake!

Autumn Jensen

I love this place! The food is great! The service is amazing! Highly recommend! Especially if you are gluten free and like pancakes!

This place was a gem under the previous owners. It had been about a year since I last visited and as soon as I walked in, it felt different. Despite only one table with patrons , almost all the other tables were dirty. There was a very loud vent fan (~70dB) running that made it uncomfortable to be around. We had asked for gluten-free pasta and we’re told that it takes 18 minutes to cook and they’re only open for another 30 minutes. We ordered vodka penne pasta with sausage, shells & sauce, a had a Pelegrino to drink - it was $55. The pasta was a little overcooked thoguh the sauces had good flavor. Sausage was small and clearly had been previously cooked and reheated. It was very tough to cut through and chew. The bread was terrible, slightly stale and looked like Wonder bread shaped in a baguette loaf. The staff was very friendly, though never checked on us after our food was delivered to the table. I get that it’s tough to run a restaurant these days, rent is probably expensive there, but the old restaurant seemed to work really well. They had family recipe lasagna that was delicious and some of the best meatballs I’ve tasted. I wouldn’t even have written a review and would’ve just chalked it up to another now mediocre restaurant if it wasn’t so expensive and a bad value.

Delicious cinnamon rolls and super convenient locations next to Mountain Mama Natural Foods, a natural health store.

Celiac safe

Carlos Hernandez

Had dinner here not too long ago & made sure that there were items on the menu that were gluten free as my girlfriend has Celiac Disease. When we were sat, my girlfriend asked what items are gluten free (to be 100% safe) and he said "just tell me what you want and I'll see." then she asked if he's our waiter or someone else and he said "we all help each other". Ok. Then the wine list arrives and my gf then had to ask the gal helping us with wine what is gluten friendly on the menu. She was SUPER helpful. Clearly the gal that helped my gf with wine confronted 'our waiter' because for the rest of the night, he was overcompensating and being awkwardly talkative. We just wanted our food at that point. Then on top of all of those awkward interactions with our waiter.... he charged us for an extra bottle of wine we didn't drink. I then had to flag down a member of the staff to initiate a return/bill again while our Uber was out front waiting for this. Spent $500 on dinner which was great BUT the experience with the waiter ruined it. Cherry Creek Grill is the better choice, their staff is ON POINT.

Lo Wood

Great spot for happy hour! And lots of options too. If you’re gluten free - ask for their separate gluten free menu (love to see it!) We did the Sunday all day happy hour and were so excited to try a few new things. It’s still pricey but worth it ☺️

Allison Kim

Celiac safe bakery with additional allergen friendly options

Azaria Posik

The first time I had Sweet Sisters it was at a wedding and hands down some of the best dessert ever. Moist and delicious, no one would know it’s gluten free. I stop here when I can to get a sweet treat and am always happy with my order.

Tim Booher

Great fresh food with gluten free options. Clean and elegant inside. Smart menu. Just wish they wouldn’t nickel and dime everything. 4% hidden charge for “fair wages” charges for each condiment and every substitution is an up charge. This is on top of 27 dollar burgers.

Wolf Harvey

Fantastic gluten free food!

Amber Owens

Judith Moak

My very favorite place to eat in Erie!! The filet and meatballs are the BEST!! Plus most of their menu is gluten free!

Adam Dietrich Ringle

Cozy vibe. Great for gluten-intolerant

Vicki Johnson-Calzadilla

This is, hands down,our favorite place for ice cream! I love that we can go in and eat anything there without having to worry about gluten cross-contamination. It is a true delight for our gluten-free and gluten loving family members!

Matthew Cullen

On a busy Friday night this place was perfect. Party of three entered and the place was packed. We got seated immediately and hd the friendliest and welcoming server Jaylene. She explained how the mountain pizza was special and even helped a person in our group with dietary restrictions. The gluten-free, cheese free pizza was a hit and looked great to me. The veggie pizza and margarita pizza also came out great. Beer, cocktails, and even the house made ranch made this meal perfecto. Shout out to MOD Victor for running the packed place and even taking time to check on us. We cant wait to come back. This is the pizza spot to hit up in Arvada.

Walki Contreras

Best Gluten Free burgers in town! Service is always great too!
