The cinnamon roll
Anna C.

It you have food allergies this is your place. I thought that it was pricey for what we got. They make a big deal about their cinnamon rolls but they were incredibly underwhelming with taste and doneness and overwhelming with price. I got the French toast sliders and they were very good as was the coffee. You order at the counter then pick up the food, very little interaction with the staff. It's a cute café, nice and bright with a decent amount of tables. Parking around there is tough so be prepared.

Grazie - Chicken Pesto Quesadilla
Kimberly W.

My friend and I were out exploring and ran across this gem. Cozy ambiance with framed quotes and words of wisdom.y rose quartz lemonade was so rejuvenating... Quesadilla was delicious! Pesto was Devine! My friend ordered the burger and left no trace behind Warm friendly service !!

Sandwich
Robert S.

This place makes eating healthy feel easy and enjoyable. The menu is has gluten-free and health-conscious choices, but still packed with flavor. The interior is warm and thoughtfully designed. The staff is kind and understanding--especially if you have dietary restrictions. It's also right next to REI, so if you're one of those "just got off a hike and need something nourishing"...this place is your move. Clean food and great energy.

Fulfilled - Burrito
Christina M.

Tasty spot for breakfast. Always appreciate a 100% gluten free restaurant. I enjoyed the burrito. My girls got a breakfast sandwich and granola. Fair warning - the granola is grain free, so it's pretty much a bowl of nuts, pumpkin seeds, and dried coconut.

The dining room.
Karen S.

I love the ethos of Just BE Kitchen. I truly appreciate their gluten free, allergy friendly menu and home made cooking. I like their cosy, rustic dining room. We've been here a fair few times over the years and I truly like to support them, but I honestly don't think this place is good value for money. My husband had a Fulfilled burrito although for $15 minus the sausage with nothing but an egg in it, he was left feeling far from fulfilled. As others have pointed out, the menu on the wall is different to the prices listed on the kiosk. I also wish they'd have more vegetarian and vegan options, but as substitutions, not up-charges. I wish I wasn't always left feeling disappointed with this place.

Love this spot. Got the breakfast burrito and was absolutely delicious and filling, without being too much. Great WiFi and friendly staff as well.

Natural light
Brittany B.

Do more with less! As my friend says "ain't no fun if the vegans can't have none" Decorated in blue and white, this place feels like a cloud feast for both your eyeballs and your belly, and a testimste of how much you can do with a little natural light. Guy Fieri was right...the dumplings are so savory! The staff is patient with indecisive guests (ie me), checks in on you, and thanks you for your patronage. You finish your meal without feeling heavy, or overindulgent, and can walk to a handful of hotspots in the surrounding area. I walked to this location, so I cannot speak to parking, but as a non-local I can say, I'd certainly return for a meal and would feel more than comfortable dining solo, for work, or with family.

Riot - Buffalo Chicken Wrap
Kailee N.

As a gluten intolerant vegetarian I was excited to try Just BE, and dearly appreciate their dedication to providing a full gluten free restaurant. Their dish naming convention can be a little difficult so I recommend just using their kiosk/ iPad to order on the right! They have a large selection of coffee drinks to complement the meal and they come in huge mugs! I do wish they had more vegan/ vegetarian protein options or substitutes. Allergy friendly spaces such as these normally attract a lot of vegans and vegetarians who also have allergies- such as myself. I had the breakfast burrito and the tortilla was delicious and huge. However, the filling and the green chili left a little to be desired. I deeply wanted to love this experience but the sweet potato hash inside was undercooked- I would've loved to see a crisp on the hash browns instead of being crunchy still. I also found the green chili to be more like a hot salsa verde that was very acidic. I wish the execution in this dish was a little more thoughtful for the cost, but I do believe they have the potential to really excel. Overall this is a nice intro into GF food, and I will be back to purchase desserts. I would not recommend the breakfast burrito if you are a fanatic such as myself.

Cozy - Chicken and Dumplings

My husband and I are visiting Denver from Dallas for a wedding, and a quick google search of diet restriction-friendly restaurants had us salivating over the menu here! I have numerous dietary restrictions, most notably gluten, eggs, multiple seed oils, refined sugar, and cilantro. When we walked in, I loved the open seating & cutesy homey concept, and was overwhelmed by how many CHOICES I had on the menu! I was immediately drawn to the chili verde, but after asking the woman working the front if it contained cilantro or was only topped with it, she confirmed it was both in the dish and on top, so I opted against it. My husband and I ultimately went for the breakfast sliders, chicken and dumplings, cauliflower wings, salted caramel latte, and adaptogenic mocha. Here's what we would rate them individually: Cauliflower wings - 3/5 The flavor was mostly there, except in the ranch which was super liquidy and didn't add much to the dish. Points for it being dairy free, and the flavor of the cauliflower itself was great. I was hoping for something tempura-like though (traditional tempura is made with rice flour and hence very allergen friendly if not fried in seed oils) and it missed that mark as they weren't fried and the batter-esque coating wasn't crispy at all, more gooey than anything. Breakfast sliders - 4/5 For those of us who are used to subpar allergen friendly food, especially when it comes to gluten free, these were fantastic. The sausage wasn't greasy and had good flavor, I couldn't believe the little buns were gluten free because they were that good, and the maple syrup was the real deal. The eggs were plasticky and overcooked though, we ended up taking them off the sandwiches after a few bites. Chicken and dumplings - 2.5/5 I wanted to love this one. But the dumplings were these gray, hard chunks that were almost inedible, and when expecting a creamy pot-pie-esque dish, it was more like a basic chicken and carrot soup that wasn't creamy at all. I also think that the herbs it was topped with included cilantro (tasted like it to both myself and my husband) which is partially on me for not asking about, but also I'm disappointed about the fact that the woman working the front counter didn't warn me about it after I asked about the cilantro in the chili verde. Overall, a decent soup on its own minus the dumplings, but wasn't at all what I expected to receive when ordering chicken and dumplings. Salted caramel latte - 5/5 Not too sweet, and overall a great latte. Husband who loves his sugary coffee loved it even thought it wasn't as sweet as his usual coffee order. No complaints! Adaptogenic mushroom mocha - 6/5 As a MUD/WTR drinker, when I saw this on the menu I immediately knew I would order it. It did not disappoint! Drinks like this are often grainy or sandy from the powdered adaptogenic mushrooms, and it wasn't like that at all. The cocoa & earthy flavors were very mild and the drink was very lightly sweetened, but as someone who doesn't love sweet beverages, it was PERFECT Overall, would probably come back again, but to try different things, except the drinks which we loved. Prices felt high for the execution of the dishes and our level of satisfaction with the food, but I understand why they are that way due to the quality of the ingredients used.

Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cool, lively vibe.

I asked if it could be done without meat and our server said no - that it was premade. Honestly, this was just okay queso. Definitely not authentic or anything like actual queso fundido. Would not order again. The soup was good! Not the best I've ever had but definitely good. The only thing was we ordered a soup but didn't specify and got the small size. I would specify a bowl if you want a meal sized portion. The grilled cheese that came with it was tasty! The chicken Caesar wrap was fine. Portion is sorta small but glad it comes with a side. Nothing too special. Overall the place is nice, staff is friendly and food is fine. I wouldn't particularly want to return but if a friend suggested, I'd give it another shot.

The pork is actually pretty similar to a piece of Kalua pork, we were eating with some Hawaiians and they thought it was just like kalua pork minus rice. I ordered the artichoke tortellini but it was extemely rich and I was a bit shocked by how creamy it was. Served with small pieces of artichoke hearts and some cheese. I found it was best if you ate it with a bit of the broth as it adds a lot of flavor that balances the super creamy tortellini.
