Pancakes and waffles marked as "gluten free" are actually very much not gluten free and are cooked on shared surfaces, but they won't tell you unless you ask. Given that level of willful negligence I decided it was not in my best interests to trust they were being honest with other items on the menu.
So many gluten free options, and I didn’t have any stomach issues. Great place!!
Had an excellent breakfast, didn’t get sick. Food was delicious

The food was good. Had to ask for butter for the GF toast. Service was slow.
I have not been here but I just called and spoke with the manager. She said the pancakes and waffles are NOT safe for celiac as they are cross contaminated and cooked on shared surfaces. The toast, meat, and eggs they do have protocols in place for cross contamination.
Awesome food here! Server was super friendly, made sure gluten free pancakes would be celiac safe. They were really tasty! Latte also great. Server found vanilla syrup may have wheat, switched it out for cane syrup. Great care taken, appreciate it!
GF options. Server was aware. They have gf bread. Good omelet. Ate here both mornings that I was in Denver.
I ordered the Mexicana omelette with the side of house potatoes and they’re good and tasty. I was looking forward to have some waffles as some of the reviews recommend them but unfortunately but gratefully the server informed that the waffles and pancakes are cooked in the same surface as the gluten ones, this way unable to avoid cross contamination. Overall a good experience, just a little disappointed
Great gf selection including gf pancakes! Top notch chia latte as well!
Very knowledgeable about wheat and dairy allergy safe foods! The server checked the ingredients of the items I ordered and also had the manager come out to say what was safe and confirm each item in the order was gluten and dairy free! The menu has gluten free options marked and a large variety of options
Staying in Denver for a week downtown and found this wonderful restaurant. Food is excellent and the staff is very knowledgeable about celiac!
Called ahead, spoke with Nicole, the manager. She instantly knew what celiac disease was and what on the menu was safe. She also was our waitress. Had the red roster, with a combo of sausage patties and bacon, with a side of fruit. Haven’t had any problems. Nicole warned me that the waffles, pancakes, and toast are cross contaminated by the surface/ toaster that they are cooked on. This was a good breakfast spot!
The waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac. They did not have a dedicated place to make toast or pancakes but she knew everything that was safe.
Good amount of gluten free options, the eggs and bacon were great but the pancakes although gluten free were pretty gross tasting. Lots of syrup helped but overall the pancakes are not worth the extra $1.99 sub for gluten free.
I got the California Benedict expecting that they’d do a gluten free English muffin. Instead they used two cold pieces of bread that weren’t even toasted, so of course they became cold mush under the overly runny eggs and copious hollandaise. Servers also act like they don’t want to be there. This may be okay for gluten sensitivities but I’d be cautious with celiac. I doubt they do a dedicated gluten free cooking area if they don’t even have a gluten free toaster.
Great! Very helpful for allergies. Variety of options on menu.
the pancakes and gluten free toast can be prepared in a separate pan/toaster, waffles are cross contaminated though. server was very knowledgeable and kind, and pancakes were good, very rich. hash browns were yummy.
NOT SAFE for celiacs We were initially told gf pancakes and gf waffles could be cooked on separate surface. Got nervous when looking back at kitchen and asked again and were told there would be cross contamination
Outstanding omelet, and the best GF toast I’ve ever had!
GF Belgian waffle was delicious! Lots of other GF options on the menu, including toast and pancakes. Service was amazing and super friendly. I asked about cross-contamination and was told they do their best to avoid cross-contamination, but I'm not sure that it extends to separate cooking surfaces, so this may not be an option for anyone who is sensitive to that. Bonus: they also have turkey bacon for those of us who don't eat pork. And almond milk for anyone with dairy allergies. I will definitely be back!
I do not have celiac, but I have a severe sensitivity, so even crumbs will make me sick.
We checked out the delectable egg for breakfast this morning, and it was delicious. The waitress was very knowledgeable, for which I’m grateful for as she told me that there is cross contact risk with the pancakes, the waffles and the toaster. I ordered a version of eggs Benedict, on gf bread (not toasted) and their house potatoes. Although the pancakes and waffles and toasting may be off limits depending on sensitivity, there were plenty of egg options available. I would go again.
Waffles and coffee were delicious. The menu was super easy to navigate and the staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about my needs.
Delicious breakfast spot with lots of gf breakfast and lunch options. They have gf bread, pancakes, waffles, bread, etc. Not 100% sure about cc.
I ate there for breakfast four straight days. Omelets with GF toast. Didn’t use the jam or butter. Coffee. No issues. Celiac.
Delicious omelette. Lots of GF choices and understanding staff.
Went back a second time and tried the gf pancakes - great!!
Excellent food, GF menu and knowledge, good coffee and drink menu. I have Celiac’s and they were very careful. Great music and art, as well!😉
Food was great. Items marked in the menu. My son is celiac and he didn't get sick!
Excellent little cafe with a great GF menu. The pancakes were awesome. We ate there all 3 days we were in town!!
I ate there 3 mornings in a row when in town for work. Absolutely fantastic. I ordered omelette then skillets. everything is cooked well and seasoned great.
I didn't try the pancakes or waffles as I wanted to stay extra safe with egg based dishes.
Overall the menu doesn't have anything new for a breakfast place but performs excellent with what it has. Overall 10/10 would eat there every morning if I could.
Staff was knowledgeable of GF and offered to sub fruit in place of toast/muffin
Great food, knowledgeable staff, and no problems. Highly recommend!
Delicious food, knowledgeable stuff, I super recommend this place. Celiacs avoid the waffle - made in same gluten containing maker. Go for pancakes, same dough just ask for a clean pan.
Really great experience. The server specifically asked me if I was celiac when I mentioned that I needed to eat GF. I am, and should have specified when I ordered but she mentioned that surfaces would be wiped down etc. I asked about the GF bread but she said I could have fruit instead and I decided that was the safest route. Also based on other reviews I decided on a skillet. It seemed to be the safest. All in all i appreciated that the server was knowledgeable and so sweet when she took my order.
The server said there is a risk for cross contamination in the kitchen. They use the same waffle maker for GF waffles and I was told that GF pancakes are not cooked separately from other pancakes. They do have GF bread.
Had a good experience. Kids had GF pancakes and we had a GF cinnamon roll and GF bread. They have a dedicated space for cooking GG food.
Tons of menu options and everything is clearly indicated. The staff was also very knowledgeable and helpful!
I have celiac and have eaten at two locations of The Delectable Egg. One near 16th Street Mall and one on Market Street. Both times were excellent. I had a gf Belgian waffle the first time and today I had gf blueberry pancakes!! No issues at all.
Staff was nice and helpful but my silverware wasn’t washed and had food on it still.. I went because I was excited they had gf waffles and pancakes but was told they were out of both after walking there. Nice place, bit disappointed.
Great breakfast, GF is built into the main menu. Lots of options!

I had some of the best huevos rancheros ever. They have gluten free bread. The server was knowledgeable, but it's not the kind of place where cross-contalination can be completely avoided.
They do have some GF options but everything is on shared grills/griddles so it’s tough to navigate.
The service was fantastic and all the servers where very knowledgeable regarding having a gluten allergy versus celiac. The location is easy to get to by foot and is very cute and semi-spacious. I had the Popeyes omelette with bacon and fruit. Everything tastes great except for the hash browns which were lukewarm and dried out. My husband had the Denver and it was loaded with more onions than he would have liked and his potatoes were also lukewarm and cold in other spots. Overall a great place to have breakfast at and hopefully next time the potato side dishes are warmer.
Said they do not have pans and are not willing to clean griddle. Told me not to eat here
Had a fantastic breakfast here. Staff were knowledgeable and the food was excellent
