GF pancakes, crepes and wraps. I was visiting and had crepes for lunch one day and pancakes for breakfast the next. Aware of cross contamination and accommodate well. Great service staff. Full menu of tea and coffee, too.

Menu with options marked as GF. However, some of the things that aren’t marked GF can be made GF like the breakfast burrito that I got.

Our breakfast was fantastic. As far as GF items, we had the eggs in a basket with GF bread and gravy, breakfast potatoes, GF crepe with Nutella, GF crepe with ham and cheese, toast, and bacon. The employee, who is GF but not celiac, came out to explain their cooking process. She told us they don’t have a separate grill, but could use special pans for all of the items, including grilling the GF toast. They took extra care and precautions. My daughter (celiac) did not get sick and she loved her breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place for a yummy breakfast!

I want to love this place, but I think I just got the wrong menu item. I had the biscuits and grave and it was not good at all. However, my daughter got a couple plain pancakes (she’s 2) and we both loved them. I do feel safe and did not get sick.

This has become one of the go-to breakfast spots in Denver. Lots of GF/DF options that actually taste good! One of my faves is the Eggs In A Hole On A Shingle. They have GF/vegan gravy. So good!

You can sit inside or on the patio if the weather is nice.

I didn't ask the GF safety queatiosn but I haven't had any issues not feeling well after.

Meh. I was pumped for this place, and when I saw biscuits and gravy on the menu as a gluten free option.. I was ecstatic. (It’s hard to find this meal anywhere) Well, the single biscuit was a crumbly, dry, dense lump that literally tasted like nothing. The gravy was also a huge letdown. It was watery and had a very faint flavor of something that wanted to be gravy. It was served with scrambled eggs and fried potatoes.

I will say it was a good portion of food. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll post a photo of the meal.

The location is cute, it had outdoor seating and was lovely. Perhaps someone will try something else that is tasty. I was in town for just a few days, so I won’t be returning.
