As a guy that is allergic to wheat, Gluten Free dining is a must. So, when I find places that have a decent GF menu, I want to shout about them from a mountain top. South Side Walnut Cafe (and the original Walnut Cafe) is indeed worthy of a shout out! Lucky for me, I can climb up the Flatirons right after breakfast to do so... Delicious gluten free options are abundant. My favorite still (after going there for over 10 years) is the GF Buttermilk Pancake. Huge and deliciousness on a plate. Pair it up with a spicy Sherpa Chai, and look out world, here you come. Dominate that hike or bike.

Wow! In Boulder for a wedding. Found this place on Yelp. Delicious fresh food! Very friendly wait staff. Fast service. If there is a line at door it moves very fast. This place must be a local favorite as the owner knows everyone by name. Just had our third breakfast there. And going back for more. It's a delight to find a place like this between all of the vegetarian foo foo restaurants. They do have an extensive gluten free selection including pancakes, breads and hamburger buns! Just what my son's gluten free GF needed. Wish we had a place like this back home.

Fantastic breakfast with great gluten free options. I haven't had a waffle in ages and this one was divine! The service was outstanding. The day we went they were short-handed and they were still able to seat us quickly and still got great service.. Alex was awesome -- very friendly and gave us some great tips about the town. Highly recommend!

I need gluten free and I eat vegan. They answered all of my questions and didn't tell me they might contaminate my food. We are athletes and eat a lot of food and we walked away satisfied. And the food was delicious! The vibe is cool and relaxed.

Great place! We first went to Avanti in Denver, I have to admit that the Boulder one is way nicer. It's a cool building with multiple floors and some outdoor seating at the top. Drinks are amazing, and so is the food. We tried the Italian Pork GF sandwich from Mangia Paniono, and it was absolutely delicious. It could possibly be the best sandwich we had in a loooong time, but it's still a bit pricey for its size, so that's a tiny downside. Then we moved on to some chicken tacos from Pollo Tico. They didn't blow our minds but were very, very good too. Overall, it is a great place to come back and try different things. There are plenty of gluten free options too!

Four stars because the service is horrible. I was the only person in the entire restaurant and I watched all 4 employees stand around and chat rather than getting my order ready. The food is great and if you’re whole30 or gluten free or paleo it’s a great spot. But again, the staff have zero giddyup.

McDevitt Taco Supply provided catering and bartending services for our wedding. The food and service were both phenomenal! All of our guests has wonderful things to say about all of the food. They were able to accommodate all of the dietary restrictions of our guests (vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free). Jon was very response, answering all of our questions in a timely manner. McDevitt's staff are all friendly, easy going, respectful and very easy to work with.
