Might be the best in Denver

Delicious, creative and plant forward vegan food in Sloans Lake. Pretty reasonable prices, and rotating menu with the seasons. Some favorites are the mushroom risotto, Ruben, and chocolate chip cookies. You can’t go wrong with Gladys!

Best vegan food in town

It’s hard for me to order something besides the Reuben…but everything I’ve ever had at Gladys has been perfection.

Rocky, Dave and crew don’t play

Excellent vegetable focused food. Not a faux meat centered menu trying to appeal to the masses. Just good cooking from a talented bunch. 11/10

Upscale food at a food court

The food quality is unreal. Something you'd find at a high end restaurant, but at food court prices. It's made up for by the portion sizes being a bit small compared to other restaurants. The reuben is an anchor on the menu, and a unique vegan food experience I'd recommend to any visitors.

It's in the edgewater foodcourt, and I frequently hold meetups here just to be able to get food from Gladys. There isn't much quiet seating, so perhaps not the best spot if you want a more private romantic evening.

Pros: Food/ingredient quality, Presentation, Seasonal menu

Cons: Small portions, Noisy

Great spot

This restaurant is one of many in a dinning hall/public market setting. The restaurants were around the perimeter of a seating area with nice picnic benches. You order at the counter and they give you a beeper. I ordered the charred Caesar and mushroom risotto. Both were SO GOOD! I love the crunchiness and saltiness of the Caesar. The risotto was creamy and flavorful. I also liked that the dining area had a water spout with glasses. Good mix of all kind of people and even families with young kids! Great space and amazing vegan food!

Pros: The food!, Free water, Great vibe

Very creative dishes

Like others have said it is in a market place but we found Gladys and had to try it. Suggestion is to get a beer at the brewery and they let us even have our dog on the patio. But the food was insanely creative. Thank you for providing us with another fun vegan option!

How so good???

The menu online looked good so we decided to come out here without knowing the area at all. We didn’t realize it was in a food court and were a little worried we had made a mistake. But we ordered the summer spinach salad, tofu piccata and nduja toast, and it was all so good. The toast was one of the more creative veggie toasts I’ve had—lupini beans, fennel and romesco, so yum. I highly recommend. Think we might want to try the Reuben next time.

Edit: Came back to try the root veggie Reuben, and it was delicious ! We also enjoyed the charred Caesar and braised tofu with hatch chili gravy (new fave).

Best of Denver

Everything I’ve had at Gladys is exciting, creative, plant-focused, and downright delicious. Way more ambitious than the most spots in Denver. Menu changes seasonally, always look forward to new things from Gladys. Cool crew.

Fine dining in a food court

Artful presentation with unique flavors make for fine dining flavors in a food court. Yes, it is vegan, but also some of the best food I have had from a restaurant.

Pros: Flavor, Vegetables! , Creative combinations

Cons: They don’t have breakfast!

Loved it!

I was very pleasantly surprised eating here! The quality is way beyond typical food court/hall food. The flavors were spectacular. My only slight “complaint” is that the wooden fork/knife was no match for the toast I ordered so it ended up being a messy eat. I will 100% be back.

Good stuff

We got the stir fried rice and a salad. Both were a little oily, but pretty tasty!

Original food in a great atmosphere

Our food was tasty, but a bit oily for us. However the food is original. We were traveling through Denver and would consider eating here again.

We tried the Reuben and the buffalo artichokes. Both are very original and had a lot of flavor -and oil.

We also tried a salted chocolate chip cookie. Thumbs up!

GLAD is an understatement

Hello?! A ROOT VEGETABLE REUBEN? It was sooo good I don’t know how they did it and don’t care! And the artichoke buffalo wings were incredible as well! Why can’t more places like this exist, WHYYYYYY?!

Pros: Root Vegetable Reuben , Artichoke Buffalo Wings

Amazing vegan food

This vegan spot, located in a neighborhood food market in Denver, served some of the tastiest food I have eaten in Colorado and beyond. Highly recommend for both vegan and non-vegan foodies.

A must-try for fancy food

I’ve had some of my best Italian pasta & gnocchi dishes here, and they’re filled with high quality ingredients. The rest of the menu is very vegetable forward and creative. I really enjoy their balance between healthy and indulgence. This is actually fine dining served fast and casual

Pros: High Quality Ingredients , Italian, Value

They know me by name…

That’s how often I eat here and how great their customer service is. Their food is amazing, I have never eaten something I didn’t enjoy.

Remember to order 2 Ruben sandwiches. One for you and one for your most skeptical friend.

Pros: Creative Plant based Ingredients/dishes, Good quality foods, Customer service

Cons: I have to drive about an hour from my home, Not open for breakfast, I will have to direct deposit my paycheck to them

Best in CO

Wow! Everything here is just excellent. The gnocchi and the Reuben are both the best of each I’ve ever had.

I’ve brought (open-minded) non-vegans here and they loved it. I’d recommend this to anyone in Denver.

Good food, fun market!

Only tried Gladys once so far, but it was good! I got a "see food" pasta and giant cookie. Filling and flavorful!
