I almost never go into town, but I will more regularly to go to this cafe. I'm not on a plant-based diet, but that doesn't matter - their selection is huge, healthy and delicious, service excellent. (Also tons of gluten free options)
Grindz is amazing, always high quality food and great coffee. One of our favorite spots to go. I personally struggle with dietary restrictions, and I have had some of the best gluten free and dairy free snacks at Grindz! My all time favorite being the banana chocolate chip cake, with coconut yogurt on the side when it's on the menu! Absolutely wonderful owner who is always a joy to talk to and she is so grateful. Keep doing what you guys do, you rock!
A really good find on our walk. Lovely food, good coffee and excellent staff. The Gluten-free bread was the best and homemade Thank you we will be back
Plenty of Gluten free cupboard options which i really appreciate as most cafes only offer if at all gluten free brownies from the cupboard. Decent coffee and friendly service will be back :)
Great place for a meal. We had a large party here for celebration. They set up a long table for us. The food was delicious and lots of gluten free options. I love the atmosphere of the wooden tables large doors and even log fire. Staff are always lovely. Lots of space and room for children families.
I can give 5 star for banana muffin and their gluten free snacks. So yumm. However, Staff are ridiculous. They are more interested in talking with each other than serving customers...So rude customer service
Great service . I needed gluten free food and needed to educate the waitress that the fries were not gluten free if they were cooked in a fryer with gluten. So.if you are gluten free/coeliacs don't get their frys. But the rest of the meal was tasty and brilliant
Always a good stopoff here for decent coffee and brunch or lunch. We had the beef nachos for our gluten free daighter, french toast and bacon for the other hungry monster and the veggie stack. If you haven't eaten for days and all you can think about is a big plate to fill the tummy, don't get the veggie stack - it's only just big enough for a wafer thin super model. Order up the big breakfast for big eaters and hungry teenage boys. There's plenty on offer from the cabinet. Coffees are good enough, but not the bestin Tauranga. The girls are always friendly and most times plenty of parking in the Bethlehem Palmers carpark - after you've doused your body in as much caffeine as you can drink, pick up some pot plants and get into the garden to work off some of those calories!
Visiting from out of town , came here with my brother for a bite to eat. The service was spectacular and efficient , all the staff are so friendly and such a good vibe. The coffee and fries I got were superb. Got a gluten free brownie to take away which was so good I ate it all in one sitting. Talk about a great experience. 1000000% chance I will be back next time for more delish food. Thank you.
Please be aware their Matcha Lattes are a blend, not pure Matcha powder. Contains gluten, milk, soy and egg.
I had an almond milk matcha latte today to then spend the rest of morning tea violently vomiting in their bathroom. Only to receive a “oh sorry” after I asked on my way out if they accidentally gave me dairy milk instead of almond milk further leading to showing me the “Matcha Blend” ingredients list
Don’t get me wrong my sub was good. But my partner is coeliac , she ordered a GF wrap and they didn’t change their gloves, and they were doing others orders at the same time, she pulled her wrap out and it’s all stuck to the paper, ripped the paper. If your gluten free/coeliac don’t come to this place. If you’re just keen on a feed it’s not bad, but pretty disappointing .
Disappointed that the big choice of savoury gluten free selection has reduced to one! Will give it another try as it was my favourite and I used the take many groups of people there for lunch.
This little pocket of a place was amazing so, after buying my daughter and I some food, my wife suddenly rang me and asked for a coffee and some gluten-free food if they had any well indeed they did, I ask for one item then lovely woman serving asked me if she was a coeliac, and I said yes she in that instant proceeded to put on gloves and continued with the order, I gotta say that was pretty cool, and let's not bypass the fact that food is amazing and the people are too.
Very busy Japanese restaurant for a Monday night. Great selection of fresh ingredients, and the staff knew about gluten free ingredients and options. My wife got a katsui chicken on rice while I got a gf surimi poke bowl. Both looked amazing. The poke bowl tasted amazing.
Not much in the way of gluten free food except the usual friands, orange almond cake & caramel slice. I had a very overcooked date scone that was doughy & hard to eat. My friend had the savory scone & found it hard to eat. Coffee was ok
This cafe is outstanding. The food is very attractively presented and tastes delicious. I particularly like that the food is labelled keto, dairy free, egg free, vegan gluten free etc. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
What an asset to the area. Great food, easy parking and friendly service. Well worth a visit. Caters for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. Nice walking spot nearby too to enjoy before or after your coffee.
Went here last night as we were in Wharf Street having a drink and noticed a new place. The food was so tasty. Got the lamb and will be back to try more. Really knowledgeable of gluten free options and took extra care to prepare it separately which took a little longer but totally fine with that. Highly recommend.
A group of us went for the bottomless meal and it was a great experience. Definitely not stingy on the food or drinks, the food tasted great, and there was a good selection. The service was really friendly as well.
And they have a good range of gluten free options, it's so good to find somewhere that caters to gluten intolerant people.
We definitely want to return
Great pub, really friendly staff and awesome trivia on Tuesday night! Limited gluten free options but at least they understood the difference between that and celiac!
It was my first time eating out since I was diagnosed Celiac. The Chef and staff in the upstairs restaurant went out of their way to show me which items on the menu and buffet were safe for me to eat. Thank you for your Knowledge and care in helping me make choices and enjoy such a lovely meal. The value for money and quality of the food was excellent, we will be back.
