This is a dedicated gluten free restaurant.

I had a fried chicken sandwich which was perhaps the best I ever had. Very good roll. I can eat gluten (one of my kids has celiac. Husband said the fish n chips were really good. Kids really like the chicken tenders. And the eclair...

They have curbside service currently. Easy to order online.

Monte Cristo sandwich with fries.
Fried calamari
“fish n chips” gf battered, fried cod with truffle, garlic fries. The tartar sauce was a little spicy and combined w/ the malt vinegar, made this was an absolutely amazing feast
Gf calamari. Very good! Big portion, again, could be a meal on its own
Caprese bites. This appetizer could be a meal for two all by themselves. Gf crepes, stuffed with cream cheese, basil and fresh tomatoes, fried and drizzled with a balsamic dressing. Delicious!

It is very comforting to be able to dine out and not have to worry about your meal. Everything we ate was DELICIOUS! The wraps to my tacos were not dry and crumby like gluten free options so frequently are. For dessert I had a sticky bun that was not dry at all but moist and just fantastic! The atmosphere was very relaxed and cool. The restaurant was clean the staff was attentive and kind. If I could make a single complaint it would be that this place isn’t located local to my home!

Whoa. Was in Colorado Springs for a hockey tournament and found this place. My family has celiac disease and this restaurant is hands down the best place we have ever been to. Extensive food and treats selection. Ever. Also, a full bar! Lovely architecture and decor as well. If you’re in the area, you must go to Coquette’s.

Updating my review from 5 months ago. We took a break about 5 months because we didn't feel the quality was still there and had some disappointing visits. Today we finally came back and it was wonderful! It was like how we used Rio remember it being! You can now have brunch items all day long, finally. I made my own crepe, very yummy. My salad was fresh with lots of lettuce! And the dessert wad amazing like always. Only big bummer..... no more lavender love crepe, bananas foster crepe, or apple walnut bread pudding for dessert options :( Are service was great, everyone was very friendly. Some new faces, but some old were still there as well which was a pleasant surprise. One person commented on the Arbonne products not being gluten free, but when I looked up the said items on the Arbonne website, the products Coquette area using ate indeed certified gluten free!

Got sick a few times here. Most of the stuff is gluten free, but they use products that have cross contamination on the label. We’re using something called Arbonne which is not a celiac safe brand. Also used Oat milk that had malt in it for a while.

This place is amazing for the occasional indulgence. It is a completely gluten free facility. They have cupcakes, cheesecakes and a complete menu of savory crepes, sandwiches, and entrees. I had the Monte Cristo sandwich with sweet potato fries. They do also have several salads on the menu.

While visit Colorado Springs, CO, I come across this restaurant in my App (which I love btw). Super excited to try it out, and was NOT disappointed. What a change to not have to explain myself, define celiac, or worry about cross-contamination. The service (Natalie was wonderful), the food, the atmosphere, everything was great. Cannot wait to go back!

This is an awesome restaurant with a great deck. The food we had was amazing... my non-GF hubby said it was the best fried chicken he’s ever had. He ordered the fish and chips and also loved that, but the caprese bites were best of all. Coquette’s was certainly the highly of my Colorado Springs trip!

It's great to dine where the entire menu is GF, we appreciate it very much. The food was good, however, the desserts were disappointing, they were dry and we didn't like the flavors. Service was good and friendly. It would have been nice to have some kind of GF pasta dish on the menu for kiddos.

Husband and I stopped in after a day at Garden of the Gods and it was one of best meals I have ever eaten! EVERYTHING is gluten free!! We had amazing fried calamari, I got the Monte Cristo sandwich and the husband got the chicken fried steak. I wish I could eat here everyday. If you’re in Colorado Springs or even Denver make the trip here! Baked goods are amazing too!

Best gluten-free meal I’ve ever had. I had chicken tenders which had the best breading I’ve seen- very crispy! Also, my side of fries were literally twins to McDonalds’ fries. Everything is 100% gluten-free and they also have a cute baked goods section at the front. Our waiter was amazing!! Very kind, professional, and personable. Beautiful restaurant as well!

The waitstaff was good, I got the Caprese bites and a biscuit. The biscuit is worth missing, it’s dense and hard. The caprese bites were very good I just wish it had more tomato. I would recommend eating here if you don’t have any dietary restrictions other than celiac. There’s not many vegetarian options and almost no vegan options.

Amazing and refreshing to be able to order ANYTHING off the menu!! All GF. Plenty of options for other diets as well. Our service was great. I enjoyed the breakfast Crepes and tried my sons French toast which was great! Nice atmosphere. We took some cookies and cupcakes to go. They were a little dry by the next day when we ate them, but still tasty. The pie that we saw come out of the oven looked amazing! Will have to try it next time. 😍

Holy cow!!! We traveled 90 minutes (to visit friends) and to eat here and it was worth the entire journey. Their ENTIRE MENU is gluten free. My daughter and I both have celiac and are highly reactive. We ordered calamari to start but they accidentally brought us caprese bites (gf crepes filled with cream cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil). They gave us the bites on the house. My daughter had the chicken fried steak with gravy and sweet potato criss-cut fries, and I had the battered cod with truffle fries. We were so excited to have so many choices...we may have overdone it. The service was gracious and attentive. We visited Mother’s Day so having reservations was apparently needed. We were happy to sit in the bar. The whole restaurant is very inviting. Next time, we’ll call ahead (or make reservations online via their website) and we’ll sit in the patio

They used to be reputable, but lately their business practices give cause for concern. Any customer with a legitimate complaint is shamed and intimidated. Instead of wanting to work things out they use profanity and blame you.

I cannot trust a company who behaves like that to handle a Celiac kitchen properly. There will come a day when they cut one corner too many and someone will get sick or hurt.

This place used to be great. Service has taken a dive over the last year. The most current experience was that I ordered a fieldhouse seasonal beer on the menu listed as $6. The bill read $8. I asked the server if she could check on the price in case I misread the menu. She returned and said $8 is correct. I double checked the menu on our way out. It was definitely $6. Either the menu needs updating or I received the wrong beer. Hopefully it was GF. I'm writing this shortly after our visit. The last 4 times I've been here there's something missing in the quality of the food, waitstaff, or prices always increasing.
