Travelled down the north island with a coeliac this evening and found this place on the Coeliac New Zealand FB page. I phoned and we were told they have a separate area. Ordered and got two packages- one for the gluten folks and another for the coeliac. both were absolutely delicious and this place was super busy. it's a good hour from where we live but we'll be coming back up here for dinner. LOVE that this place is safe for coeliacs.
I really enjoyed the Greek salad which was made gluten free for me. It was fresh and delicious with big green olives and creamy feta. Thank you Brown Sugar!
Stopped here (at the cafe) on an intercity bus for lunch. I had a very tasty burger (massive actually), packed with tasty salad and delicious tomato chutney. The beef patty was juicy and very nice. Fries were included, and with a gluten free bun it came to $21 (great price for NZ). All around a really good meal, and very friendly staff.
Every time I come here the meals and coffee are amazing. I can always count on a good experience here. There is gluten free, dairy free and vegan options. The yellow atmosphere is happy and very welcome. Thanks. Love the art on the walls too!
Gluten free options available. Food was delicious with a large portion size, great value. It was busy but we didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive at the table. Staff were all friendly and gave exceptional service.
Recently had an incredibly tasty gluten-free and dairy-free dinner. It's usually a challenge to find such delicious meal options in Auckland. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I decided to try this place based on previous reviews and it definitely lived up to my expectations. Will definitely return!
Incredible spot! Wish all cafes were like this. Fab coffee, great gluten free options and really nice (dog friendly) outdoor spot in the shade to eat by the gardens too. The kedgeree was divine & my husband loved his burger.
Fabulous café & staff! Opens at 8am. Our favorite stop when we are heading north as it's a bit tricky (but not impossible) when heading south because there's no pull off lane on SH1.
Fabulous presentation of cabinet food and blackboard menu. Food is quick to arrive. Great selection if you are gluten free or dairy free.
Comfy seating inside & out. Lovely countryside view if you eat outside. Plenty of parking. If the café is busy then be prepared to wait your turn if you need to use the bathroom.
Came here looking for celiac friendly food, not disappointed. Garden centre looks nice too and has a playground for kids, but it's too cold today for me to go outside.
We were driving out and about enjoying our time together ( it’s been 5 years since my last visit home to family) when we decided to stop here for lunch. I have celiacs and asked if I could be catered for and was told yes. The delightful efficient staff not only catered to me the whole table got A+ exceptional service and delicious beautiful meals. Highly recommend, will go back for sure.
Never been in store but buy on uber. They never disappointed and have a great selection of gluten free options which actually taste good. They are respectful about other allergies and always have been able to take out any onion for me.
Amazing pizzas and a nice drive in the country with lots to see around Kimbolton and beyond, and if you’re gf free they do THE BEST gluten free pizzas around, definitely worth the drive!
The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. I visited at the weekend and during the week and this remained the case on both visits. The coffee was great and there was a selection of gluten free cabinet food as well as on the menu. What a great location in The Victoria Esplanade.
I like this cafe because it’s usually quieter than most and they offer a range of interesting food.
The staff are polite, friendly, and create a pleasant atmosphere to meet up with a friend or enjoy a quiet break by yourself.
The coffee is priced very reasonably, and they offer keto and gluten free options for coffee and food.
Would love to see the return of the keto caramel slice.
I recommend this place.
We went to Masterton for the weekend and I googled food that was Gluten free, dairy free and Barista popped up. Would definitely recommend stopping here. Easy to find. Great service. Thank you team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, just …..wow. We are from Wellington and thought we would pop up to Palmerston North to see our son on a course. We had numerous recommendations for this place let’s give it a go. From the awesome conversation we had with the reservation person to the wonderful welcome and staff. The night was such a success. Actually worth the 3 hr round trip from Wellington. Ohhhhh the food…. Well I love to say the pasta was loved, the gluten free burger was one of the best my wife has ever had and the meet tray my son and I shared was almost too big….almost, but if i did say all that then maybe next time I went there it would be too busy and we would miss out. If you like good atmosphere, customer service and amazing food, go to Little Savanna.
Food is fresh and delicious.
Savoury gluten free options available off the menu & sweet options are in the cabinet.
Plenty of seating inside and outdoors. The outdoor seating is especially beautiful. Children are well catered for, with a swing and plenty of room to move.
Delicious food every time we have visited this lovely little cafe, I highly recommend the smashed avo, it was the best I’ve ever eaten. Plenty of gluten free options too, and quick service. Highly recommend stopping in!
We stopped here on Boxing Day because not only was it open (yay!) but it has a sign on the window advertising gluten free (double yay!). The menu says something along the lines of informing staff of dietary issues rather than listing GF options. My husband went to order and asked if the chicken burger could be done GF and was rudely told, “it’s a burger so no.” He then asked if the Thai beef salad could be done GF and was told “yes but the noodles will have gluten” so he asked if they could check. A long wait ensued and he was told no it’s not GF. So ordered the chicken salad. The salad was SWIMMING in what tasted like cheap supermarket salad dressing. Possibly the worst salad I’ve ever had. My son’s big breakfast had a hair in the poached egg. I wish we’d driven on. Great shop front, lovely garden area. Terrible food and service.
What a lovely little cafe this is. We were welcomed with a friendly smile which convinced us to stay and eat here. The room upstairs is sunny and warm with a view of the mountain.
The food came surprisingly quickly and we both agreed that this was one of the best cafe meals we've had for a while. The Angus burger was delicious and my wife really enjoyed the Gluten free quiche.
Thank you very much.
I come here from time to time. It's a favorite of a family member.
The selection is great, the food is good, the service is unfaultable the prices are reasonable until you only get a small serving.
I asked for a smoked chicken wrap, it was gluten free and absolutely delicious.
The only thing was that there was a miserable amount of filling. :-(
For the price, it wasn't good value.
In saying that, the coffee was great.
Great local pub and bistro, friendly wait staff and locals. Food is either from the counter cabinet or menu options. Both are good. Many drinks in fridge and on tap. Gluten free options available. Outside seating out front or back as well as inside.
Wonderful selection of cabinet food including gluten free. Coffee is good.
Staff patient cheerful and very competent.
I visited twice today so it must be good.
Great place to stop on your way north. Friendly staff, delicious food (including great gluten free and vegan options) and a wonderful atmosphere. Thanks
