Gluten-Free Restaurants near Manitou Springs, CO

“Hands down the best tasting and highest quality pizza and food I’ve ever had. Every bite was incredible—fresh ingredients, perfect flavors, and great attention to detail. The restaurant is spotless, and the servers are friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Went there for the first time today for ice cream. There were three workers assisting with the ice cream counter and 2 of them were rude. The scoops were very small and on top of that, the cashier was very stressed with one another customer in the store besides the four of us. Horrible experience. There are many choices in Manitou, we will be making a different one next time we come down.“

“Crystal Park always hits the mark. Employees are always exceptional, friendly, and know their stuff. Food is wonderful and always made with care and attention to detail. Location and atmosphere make for a special experience, especially on the patio when the weather is good.“

“Great slice of pizza! Side salad was tremendous, but the best part was the friendly staff. Great conversation, made the atmosphere a lot of fun for my whole family. Will be back when we visit Manitou again very soon.“

“Consistently good! Long time customer. One of my favorites.“

“Sweet Elizabeth’s is always a great place to stop! Whether you’re looking for a quick treat or a custom cake they have it all!“

“Will definitely eat here again. Both the food and service were exceptional!“

“Love coming here for my birthday! Highly recommended!! 💞“

“Love this place so much! I’m not usually a fan of chain restaurants but my favorite thing about this place is the fact that they source locally as much as they can. We have been here a few times now and every single time it has been great. The food and service are consistently good. Every server we have had was amazing. I used to work in restaurant industry for years so I notice the little things. I love to see multiple managers on the floor talking to customers, refilling drinks, running food. One server I have to point out is Jennifer, she’s never actually been our server but always remembers us, specifically my daughter who was having a meltdown one day and she offered to bring her a bowl of fruit. And we weren’t even in her section. Great service, thank you!“

“Went for Valetines day and was very disappointed. We booked with the manager herself and was told if we did not show we would be charged. We arrived and had to wait 90 plus minutes and they cared less. Beware they added a 3% mandatory hospitality fee and a 20% mandatory gratuity. All in all, they persuaded us not to return. 100% focus seemed to be on the business thier profits and minimal to us the patrons. We cued in the waiting area with others who also seemed to be waiting like us for thier over selling.“

“The first time at this place the food was delicious and good atmosphere“

“We were visiting from out of town and had a great experience! My daughter and I both have food allergies and the server was fantastic at answering my questions.

All three of us enjoyed out meal and the atmosphere was lovely. The server was very friendly and we appreciated that he set the expectations of how long the food would be and brought out some chips ahead of time for my hungry kiddo.

We will definitely visit again if we're in town!“

“Nice atmosphere and staff.“

“We had never tried tapas style before, but we found out that THIS tapas spot is FANTASTIC! Everything was so fresh - it may be our new vacay place to eat! 5 stars- would DEFINITELY recommend.“

“🌿 Queen TEApothecary is a hidden gem in Colorado Springs - Old Colorado City. I had the pleasure of attending one of their tea blending workshops with my husband, and it was such a beautiful experience. The space is warm, welcoming, and filled with intention—from the curated herbal wall to the thoughtful energy that goes into everything they do. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, offering both education and empowerment as she guides you through each herb and its purpose. We got to create custom blends that not only smelled and tasted amazing, but also carried personal meaning. It was equal parts creative, calming, and connective—an experience I won’t forget. I’m so grateful to have a place like this in our community. Whether you’re a tea lover, herbal enthusiast, or just in need of a little soulful self-care, Queen TEApothecary is worth a visit. Support small. Support magic. ✨🍵“

“My favorite place to enjoy a coffee, create new friendships, and nurture current existing friendships.“

“Selected a Syrawberry Cream Mousse instead if a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving Dinner! It was OUTSTANDING! My guests asked for 2nds even though they were full from dinner. Light, creamy cake with creamy strawberry filling and a delicious topping.“

“best deli in the n springs“

“Had breakfast was seated right away waitress was very friendly“

“Absolutely wonderful place! Food was wonderful and so was the service.“

“Outstanding service, delicious fresh food, easy parking. A wonderful experience. The cucumber salad was tasty . 😋 Thank you 😍“

“10/10 highly recommend this little bakery. I looked high and low for someone who could make a little cake for my daughters birthday they absolutely nailed what she asked for! It was delicious as well! This will be our new little go to bakery from now on! Thank you!“

“The food was incredibly favorable! We sat outside on the patio with good music and perfect lighting. Our server Dan was professional and attentive without being obtrusive. Excellent food and experience!“

“Great food !! Great service♥️“

“Found this close to the house. Nice outside seating for those perfect days.“

“Highly recommend for anyone looking for finger licking good BBQ, great vibes, and solid service. We’ll definitely be back! We tried the jumbo wings, and they were absolutely superb—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The rib combo plate was just as impressive—tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned.“

“I wish I could upload a photo of the work they have done for my kids birthdays over the years. Cakes taste great and they do a really good job“

“We love salsa on the rock!!! So lucky to have it in our neighborhood I love the surf and turf burrito can’t wait to go tonight!! Also the avocado fries with the sauce is amazing I need that sauce for everyday use! Thank you for being so good! :)“

“Great tasting food and a great value. I got the largest size bowl and extra chicken, and the crab rangoonn. All of it was perfect and lasted me 3 meals!! I can't wait to return! Their online ordering process was so cool, accurate and easy. They have a location feature for when you are heading to the restaurant to pick up your food and it's very handy. Great place to eat, get the rangooms!!“

“OMG…best peanut butter cookies ever!“

“Solo at the bar for happy hour. Lettuce wraps are a staple and they were extra good on this day. I usually will order the Mongolian beef or honey sesame chicken and shrimp. Service is always great and if you want dessert, order the Great Wall of chocolate. I came for a challenge I was doing on a YouTube video finding the best chain restaurant espresso martini. This was good one you can watch by searching my channel @KaitRose“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. Food is always amazing and staff are great. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“WOW!!! Another One Of Our "GO-TO" Restaurants This restaurant has become one of our "GO-TO" restaurants when we come to or go through Colorado Springs. It is very conveniently located in the newer area on the north end of Colorado Springs. The food is fabulous and the menu feature of 1/2 sandwich and soup is just right for a light meal. The Monte Cristo sandwich is done perfectly!!! The chicken tender salad is always a favorite of my wife. Marie was on duty that evening - Leadship On Duty!!! Marie came by our table several times and when I see the leadership working the crowd it speaks volumes for the entire operation. Kirsti took care of our table and she frequently came by to make sure the food and service met our satisfaction. WOW!!! A super nice evening with great food, great service, and attention to detail. Marie and Kirsti - you are the best!!!“

“It’s too good to be true. This stuff is amazing and I think witchcraft may be involved. It’s better than other gluten containing breads that hurt me. I struggle to keep away from gluten and just stumbled upon this bakery from their friends at Porkbutt BBQ in Colorado Springs that sale their goods as well. We came out arms full with Outside the Breadbox stuff.“

“Amy's Donuts was once a haven for lovers of all sorts of baked delights. From the twists, cinnamon rolls and, of course, the delicious donuts, everything they made was made freshly everyday and was sumptuous to the last bite. Now? Amy's is a laughing parody of itself.

What happened? Well, there's a new sheriff in town at Amy's and the crew is just terrible, as is the bakery itself. Menu screens no longer work. Prices have skyrocketed $0.49 per donut ($3, seriously?). Service is abysmal. And the donuts just don't taste the same.

I visited one afternoon to hopefully get a fantastic donut in their lively bakery. Not only was it completely empty but I was meet by a strange woman that didn't speak English well and acted very unprofessionally. The first thing I asked was how much the donuts cost, since the menu boards were either off or malfunctioning. When she told me they were $2.99 I almost left.

To add to the misery the restaurant was dirty and there were loads of donuts left. I understood both those points very well after I got in my car and tasted the donut I bought. It was total garbage. It was very dry, not flaky and tasted old. I was immediately disappointed. I was so disappointed it took nearly a month for me to review them.

Adding to the chaos is their most recent Health Dept. report card, which cited them for cleanliness, both in the dining room and in the kitchen. Standards have dropped significantly, which explains the decrease in quality for their food and customer service.

Overall, Amy's is a hard pass for me. At one time, I would've highly recommended them as a dessert oasis. Now, I don't look their way as I pass them on my way to my walking-distance apartment. I guess it's time to lose weight.

1 Star.

Update: 10/20/2025 - After a not so subtle health review, which highlighted many discrepancies, Amy's has come back with a vengeance. The donuts are, once again, delicious and unmistakably Amy's. The prices have gone up a little but the restaurant is cleaner, the issues with the back of the house have been resolved and the staff are much better with their customer service. The general vibe at Amy's has returned to its rightful place and the customers, judging by the packed dining room and endless drive-thru lines, are loving it and so am I.

Once again, Amy's Donuts has impressed me and regained my business. A very cautious but well deserved 4 stars. Keep up the good work, everyone. Your customers appreciate you.“

“Great food, great service. Very clean and well-kept.“

“Great food and experience!“

“Build your plate. I had brisket, hot links, okra and fries. This is the best restaurant okra I’ve ever had. Being from Mississippi, I know fried okra. The fries and okra are prepared as they are ordered and are served fresh and hot. The fries are nice and firm, not mealy at all. The brisket was good and the hot links too. Portions are generous. The staff is great and the place is clean. I will definitely be back. You can’t miss with this place.“

“Great coffee & creative meals...pleasant, personable staff..quiet space and soothing 2 my soul when I take a break from the demands of my ministry job.“

“Great spot to waste some time on a weekend. Rico's has some great seasonal coffee options, my favorite being the white chocolate huckleberry latte. The checkout process is much more linear than it was in the past and their rewards program is worth signing up for. Their food options are solid for a quick bite. The quiche is packed with eggy/veggie goodness and a thin crust. The lemon berry mascarpone cake is glorious when allowed to sit at room temp for a few minutes. Soft and fluffy, there is a slight twang in the cake that balances the sweetness in the mascarpone filling.“

“Amazing Anu is crazy crazy good! But, if I’m being real, I just needed a vessel to get as much of their ranch in me as possible! It’s the best I’ve had, like… ever!
Service is always top notch, tonight even got some new recommendations!
Thank you High Rise!! (No pics, ate too fast 😬)“

“After a hard day of errands and adult responsibilities, my friend and I deserved a sweet treat and decided on Lulu's since we had never been. It was 100% the best decision!

They had a wide range of toppings and flavors.the place was clean and the staff friendly, but the best part for us was that they provide cup dividers so you can have multiple flavors without them mixing!

Would totally recommend!“

“I was staying at the Hyatt around the corner and was recommended by a friend to go here. I got the harvest bowl and added chicken. This came with a white apple cider vinaigrette which I was surprised by the color but tasted amazing. They provided a lot and I personally only used half then mixed everything together and 🤌🏼. Service was super quick and checked in on me a few times throughout to make sure I didn’t need anything else and that everything was okay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area and would love to go back again to try the sandwiches which looked great and the entire place smelled amazing with everyone’s food.

10/10!“

“This was our favorite quick bite spot at the Broadmoor. Staff were friendly, service was quick and food was good. We always found a place to sit no matter how busy they looked. We ordered their house coffee, cafe latte, sticky buns, turkey sandwich, fruit cup, strawberry smoothies, croissant filled with cheese and turkey. Highly recommend the croissant with turkey and cheese as it was flavorful. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery. Average cost was $50+“

“The pupusas, the plantains, the drinks, the seating- i have no complaints! The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and being vegan. Both of the pupusas i ordered were incredible. The plantains were probably the best I’ve had. My fiancée who is a meat eater loved everything she ordered.“

“Best service! the whole staff was super friendly & welcoming! 10/10 highly recommend this location. The manager Dillon was fantastic and the food was great.“

“My girlfriend and I took my Dad who was visiting from Wyoming here for dinner. Great food and great service. 5 stars for this place“
