Worth the wait for a table. So many GF (and dairy free) options. I had a hard time deciding what to get. There were eight of us and I think we all got something different. It was all so good. I had the GF chicken and French toast and can’t wait to have it again. A huge portion and amazing. We will be regulars.
Great breakfast place with tons of GF options marked on the menu. I had the 2-step with GF pancakes and it was delicious!

SO delicious and so many gf options! Server was knowledgeable about allergies and took it seriously. Accommodated both celiac and severe nut allergies. We were able to have an incredible omelet, fruit, pancake, and bacon - and there were so many other choices, too.
Celiac, didn’t get sick.
Chicken and French toast! Really great. I go here frequently and never have problems. Servers are knowledgeable, and food is always great.
The food here tastes very good but I’ve gotten sick every time I’ve eaten here. I would not recommend if you are sensitive.
I had the gluten and dairy free lemon pecan pancakes. They were great! This is the first place I’ve ever been able to eat out at a restaurant that can serve me both gluten and dairy free pancakes!
Ordered gf Benedict. They brought it to me on an English muffin that looked too “normal”, luckily the server checked with kitchen. They fixed it quickly and gf version was delish, but make sure you triple check, they get busy!
There were tons of gluten-free options. Staff understood celiac disease and safety. It was a great experience!
It was amazing! Almost everything f can be made gluten free. Staff is very knowledgeable and when I asked for my sandwich on GF bread our waitress asked if it was an allergy to make sure they kept my meal safe! They have a dedicated frier which is great since not very many places do.
I got the gf pecan lemon pancakes. I was told they are cooked seperate from the gluten pancakes. They are so good and I did not get sock. Will be going back.
Ate here twice while in Boulder this weekend. I had breakfast burger without cheese ( gf buns are gf and df!) and second time I had the pecan pancakes without butter on top! My huband orderd the vegan gf skillet so we could share, also delicious! Had no problems, staf really helpful! We stayed next door at Marriot residence inn canyon street. It was so convenient with The Buff next door, our own kitchen in the hotel room and Sprouts supermarket with lots of glutenfree items next to the hotel! Really enjoyed my stay!
Gluten free items are marked clearly on the menu. There are plenty of breakfast and lunch choices that are gluten free. I had the Eggs Florentine. Very delicious.
Solid menu selection with GF foods labeled. The food came out so quickly that I was worried I’d get sick but had no problems

Gluten free pancakes that are a fantastic texture!
Great place for GF! Items were marked GFO and our server told us what the changes would be to make GF. Food was delicious and would definitely eat there again! 10/10
Delicious food! Clearly marked menu. Knowledgeable waitstaff. Great experience !
My celiac daughter and I enjoyed a yummy breakfast. After talking with the server, I felt safe to eat. I had French toast and fried chicken. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich. The chicken was bland but all else was good.
Wanted a great breakfast in Boulder and this did not disappoint! I had the Harvest Skillet and my husband had French Toast and Fried Chicken. We are both GF and they had TONS of options that were clearly labeled. Our server was well educated on avoiding gluten and asked if we had any other allergies. It was clean, food was SO GOOD, and staff was helpful. Will absolutely go again!
DO NOT TRUST YOUR SERVER OR THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU ARE A CELIAC! This place is NOT safe for Celiacs. We asked questions about shared cooking and prep surfaces and we were assured everything in our order would arrive gluten free and not contaminated. When our food arrived at our table, there were no tags indicating the food was gluten free nor did the food runner announce that they were the gluten free pancakes and potatoes. To be extra safe we asked our waitress before consuming and she said that they were the gluten free versions, and that she herself eats gluten free so she understands the importance of being assured. Unfortunately, 2 hours later (like clockwork) my daughter was vomiting up (for over a 1/2 hour ) all of the Buff’s “gluten free” breakfast.
Menu includes GF anf GFO(ption) along with other dietary needs. Lot’s of options. My waitress was perfectly comfortable with my questions about GF. I had a slice of GF toast which was quite good and asked about she brought out the package so I could get the brand. Food was good as it was before I my celiac diagnosis.
Good amount of options and based on what the waiter said they take cc as seriously as they can in a shared facility. Unfortunately, I was actually pretty disappointed with the french toast I got. Whatever gf bread they were using just did not soak up the custard at all so it was essentially a dry piece of bread with eggs cooked onto both sides of it. It was still edible though and with their dedication to safety I’ll definitely go back and try something else sometime.
Loved the gluten free French toast + fried chicken in a gluten free frier. The French toast was amazing- the fried chicken was pretty good. The 99 cent mimosas were a nice touch!
The Buff is AMAZING! Hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. Our server was informed of my gluten intolerance and did a wonderful job assuring me that my food would be safe, informing the kitchen of my intolerance, and recommending things to eat on the menu. I ordered “The California” with a side of potatoes and it was hands down the best omelet I have ever had! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is Celiacs or gluten intolerant as I suffer from cross contamination and did not get any reaction to the food I ate.
Excellent extensive gluten free options. I had the French toast and fried chicken. The fried chicken was delicious. French toast wasn’t quite battered enough but still tasty. They are very aware of cooking on a separate surface and using separate utensils, etc. Very good!!
Knowledgeable staff. Dedicated fryer. I indulged in something I usually can’t eat in restaurants, French toast and battered chicken. It was a huge serving. Real maple syrup to dip in.
This restaurant was extremely easy to navigate! They take GF very seriously with separate cooking spaces and utensils. There are so many food options and the food was delicious.
The menu has lots of GF options and the staff is knowledgeable. I had the Chicken & French Toast meal and my only complaint was that there was too much food. (We were traveling from out of state so taking the leftovers was not an option). My meal was delicious. I cannot remember the last time I had fried chicken or French toast at a restaurant. It was a real treat!
Staff was super knowledgeable, and the menu was very clearly marked with what was naturally gluten free or could be substituted to be made gluten free. There were tons of options! I had pancakes, potatoes, and bacon; it was all delicious!
I have waited so long to come here and was so excited to try the gluten free blueberry pancakes. I must be in the minority, but I did not like them. I went early when they opened at 6:30am. The service was terrible despite the fact there was hardly anyone there yet. Will try again on my next Colorado trip-maybe was just a bad day/need to try different pancake or french toast. They were knowledgeable about GF which was a positive.
Fabulous food and very knowledgeable about Celiac / GF precautions! Separate griddle for gf pancakes and french toast. My Celiac girls devoured their breakfasts.
Beware- the gf pancakes contain almond flour! We have one tree nut allergy and almost had an issue. Thankfully we caught it just before she ate it.
Delicious GF pancakes!! Waitress assured me that there is a separate grill for GF items. Definitely knowledgable about celiac & gluten allergies/intolerances. I am a very sensitive celiac & did not get sick😊 Very pleased!
Excellent food but it was packed! Ordered to go which came up quickly.
The first time we ate here, my daughter had just been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The server told her that the owner's kids are Celiac, so they have a separate kitchen for the GF foods. Great pancakes and bacon, and that's all she cares about!
Great breakfast place to eat if you have celiac disease. The staff is very knowledgeable and is able to make many things on the menu dairy free as well. I ate here both days I spent in Boulder with no side effects.
Amazing gluten free pancakes! Tons of GF options. They are celiac friendly. Never been sick here.
Great food and lots of options clearly marked on menu.
