Colorado has been a long-time hub for those looking to live a healthy lifestyle. Cities like Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs are home to dozens of fitness centers, and health food stores abound. With such a health-conscious population comes many people who have certain dietary restrictions, and gluten is a common one. It’s a protein found in wheat that gives structure to things like bread and pastries, but for some people, it can cause digestive issues. In Colorado, those who keep a gluten-free diet are in good company. There are tons of entirely gluten-free restaurants and bakeries, and most regular restaurants have strict protocols for making sure no cross-contamination occurs in their kitchens. Here are a few of our favorites:
Rivers and Roads Coffee
This 100% gluten-free breakfast restaurant is especially well-known for its sandwiches. They also have an amazing in-house bakery!
Quiero Arepas
Quiero is a Venezualan food restaurant that uses cornmeal for their tortillas, and all of their dishes are gluten-free. We love them filled with beans and cheese!
Acova
Check out Acova if you’re looking for American-style food like burgers and fries. Their kitchen has dedicated separate equipment for all gluten-free food so you can rest assured it’s safe to eat.
