University of Colorado Boulder
“Libby Dining Hall is a great option for students with food allergies at CU Boulder. The whole dining hall is dedicated to serving breakfast & lunch that are free from gluten, wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts. They are really careful about cross-contamination because when you walk in, they have everyone leave backpacks and water bottles on a shelf so nothing with gluten comes inside the dining hall. CU also identifies the top 9 allergens in all of the dining halls and has gluten-free breads, bagels, cereals, separate toasters, and specifically labeled togo options. Libby is especially safe because of how it’s a completely gluten and nut-free dining hall. I’d highly recommend their food to anyone navigating any of these food allergies at Boulder (and the food is so good as well)!!”
Folsom Field
“I’ve been to Folsom Field for football games and a concert and have been able to get a pretzel without any issues with my allergies. They have a lot of different concession stands throughout the stadium and also list some dietary options online. I would definitely ask about ingredients if you have severe allergies, but I’ve had a good experience with the food I’ve tried there.”
Chipotle Mexican Grill
“Chipotle is always a reliable option for me with food allergies, and this location is only about a 10-minute walk from campus. The menu is really easy to customize, and you can see all the ingredients while ordering. It’s a super convenient option for a quick meal near campus!”
Pasta Jay’s
“Pasta Jay’s in Boulder has amazing pasta and was really easy to navigate with allergies. The staff seemed very knowledgeable about different food allergies and made me feel comfortable ordering. Definitely a great option if you’re looking for Italian food in Boulder!”
Fringe – A Well-Tapped Eatery
“Fringe in Boulder was amazing! They were able to accommodate my sunflower allergy and were very knowledgeable and kind about food allergies. They also said they could accommodate my sister’s allergies, and the simple menu made everything easy to navigate. The pizza was so good!”
bartaco
“Bartaco is really easy to navigate with food allergies. When you order, you can select your specific allergies and the menu helps show you what you can safely have, which takes away a lot of the guessing. The staff is also knowledgeable about allergies and can answer questions about ingredients and preparation. I really appreciate having a place where allergies are built into the ordering process instead of having to explain everything from scratch! And the tacos are delicious!!”
The Sink
“The Sink in Boulder was really accommodating with my food allergies! They asked about allergies before we ordered and were able to confirm that the salad I wanted didn’t contain sunflower seeds. The staff was helpful and made me feel comfortable ordering.”
Japango
“Japango was great with food allergies! The staff asked about allergies, took them seriously, and seemed really knowledgeable about ingredients and cross-contact. They were very accommodating and made me feel comfortable eating there.”
Foolish Craig’s Cafe
“Foolish Craig’s Café in Boulder is a cute brunch spot with really good breakfast! They asked if we had any food allergies before we ordered, and the staff seemed knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt comfortable eating there and had a great experience!”
Delta Gamma Sorority
“I had a good experience eating at Delta Gamma with my food allergies. The meals were usually pretty simple, like taco bowls and pasta, and I was able to find options that worked for me. All of the meals are listed in the Greek House Chefs app, so you can look ahead and see what is being served. For events like Bid Day, they also had packaged foods and catered meals from places like Jersey Mike’s and Raising Cane’s that I was able to eat. I’m not sure about their cross-contamination procedures, but whenever I asked about my allergies, they were receptive and helpful.”
