Amazing spot! Fab for coeliacs / gf folk and anyone else to enjoy. Hubby said his burger was the best smash burger he's ever had, and the milkshakes were very naughty and yum š Service was so so friendly, the guys working here are absolutely wonderful.
Finally a Cafe that caters for allergies! Specifically for me, most of the menu could be catered as gluten free and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was varied, not just the normal Cafe staples which was so refreshing and the staff were lovely. A lovely lunch on my last day in New Zealand. One happy tourist and if I were a local I'd be a regular. š
My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently.
Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared.
The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously.
Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! Weāll definitely be back.
Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips.
Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside.
Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated.
Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips Iāve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasnāt dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant.
The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than Iād like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork.
Havenāt had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team
Food was amazing! I wish I'd remembered to take some photos. The only let down was service was a little slow- as in getting drinks initially and then the tables weren't cleared at all...but the food came out quickly and I'd go back again simply for the food options! 4 of us are coeliac and there were so many dishes that were either gluten free or could be modified for us š
If someone is giving out awards The Shelf should get one. Amazing food and great value. Fast service. Lots of gluten free choices that made me happy. Our go to cafe when we visit Auckland city.
If you are a coelaic this is the place for you!
We are on a cruise and Auckland is one of the stops. We had tried so many different places with no luck.
When we got here we asked the friendly staff about gluten free options for Coeliac. She walked us through the menu and told us all the options that are not safe!
All gluten free options have a dedicated fryer and they were knowledgeable about coelaic and cross contamination.
When it came to ordering every item was noted that it was for a coelaic and when we received our food it was ā*insert food* for coelaicā
Would come back to Auckland again just for this feed!
Been there twice over the last few months, always great service and very delicious creative food options aswell as decent (iced) coffee.
Also a good selection of delicious Gluten- free meals and desserts. I highly recommend trying their sweet Buckwheat waffles and the vanilla cheesecake. š I also like their outside tables on the sidewalk beside a quiet street, at least on the weekends. Prices and quality match.
I recommend trying it out yourself āŗļø
Cheers
We have coeliac disease. The staff here went out of their way to make sure our food was gluten free. They have a separate fryer for gf chips. We've been here often as the service is so good. One of the best, if not best Burgerfuels in NZ. Thanks heaps.
Great coffee, really interesting menu with good gluten free options. I had the fried chicken eggs bene, was really yum. Good attentive and quick service.
What a surprising find, only due to a gluten free group. No idea this place existed. Awesome spot and the food was absolutely brilliant. Youād pay twice as much for half the food in the city and not get to look at cute little lambs in the field. The food was 10/10. If you havenāt gone. Go!
You guys are a savior for vegan people like us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks for having so many gluten free options. Am coming positively to you going forward:-)
As per our earlier comment, we had been today to have beasty burger and I must say I wasn't disappointed at all since it was one of the most filling and amazing vegan burgers I had. With an excellent and warm service. Special mention to add curly fries!!
Tasty burger and super friendly service! And conscious about gluten free food for celiacs (openly told my son to avoid the fries).
Thick shakes really thick and nice!
We only missed gluten free fries.... It'd be awesome to have them next time. :)
Great place to get some of the tastiest burgers we've had in quite some time. The absolute bonus is that there are great options for Coeliacs. Highly recommend this food truck as a great option. The menu is extensive.
Visiting from Sydney Australia and staying close by I had to check it out. Being coeliac, I had researched this place. I can highly recommend the service and food. Answered all of my gluten free questions without hesitation. Delicious burger. Couldn't have the fries but had a soy expresso flavoured thick shake that was to die for.

Absolutely bloody delicious. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Two coeliacs who had the best GF burger ever, and didn't get ill. Thanks guys, we will definitely be back....
I have been to a few gourmet burger places especially since in the last 10 years it has become more competitive in that scene with quite a few different new places popping up here and there. However, for myself and I believe quite a few others, Burger Geek has come up on top. My work colleagues and I regularly come here due to itās funky, stylish atmosphere and of course, their awesome burgers and Oreo shakes! I personally love their āBroliā burger as I believe it is the most tasty chicken burger I have ever had. Sometimes I even love to add an egg to it for a small fee. Speaking of fees, this place is not only cheaper than Burger Fuel and Burger Wisconsin but also better! If youāre looking for a new place in town with great burgers I recommend! Yes, they have Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan options!

My husband got me a gluten free hamburger last night. The bun was dense, dry and tasteless. His first order was wrong and he had to drive back to the shambolic staff to get the right order. An hours endeavor all in all. His impression was the staff were young, slow, disorganized and confused. This fits with my last in-person experience where two teenagers talked, 1 server, 1 customer about mutual friends parties for 5 minutes while waiting directly behind to be served. What thas happened to the service we used to get from young colorful staff who were super efficient when the store was on Dom rd.

Got a couple of Gluten free burgers. Ordered online. Gluten free breads/buns can be pretty hit & miss quality wise and was delighted at Burger Fuels bun option. Delicious.

Think the cooks name was Peter, not sure if it was him or just the ingredients but the burgers were AMAZING! Friendly options for gluten-free or keto eaters too!! Well done!
Amazing gluten free options! As a celiac they are very aware of celiacs and have dedicated options. Price was a little high but 100% worth it! Cute area and they do have alcoholic drinks!

Burgers were unpleasantly salty and one was soggy, our gluten free buns were prepared on the same toaster as normal buns, and dairy free patties cooked on the same fryer as the cheese, so I cannot recommend this location for anyone with allergies.
Beyond that, though, they added cheese to our dairy free, without-cheese bacon burger, talked so loudly that we could hear them about doing so, overcharged us, and drew a Nazi Swastika on the burger box and told each other that we wouldnāt notice.
Not recommended.

Good food, fair prices. Had gluten-free options for celiac (potato cake). The beef noodle soup was average tasting but a good portion of beef. Big breakfast was good. Fries were amazing: huge bowl of crispy fries with aioli and ketchup for only $7.
Canāt recommend enough. Always a delicious quality burger! With the best service. Beef burger is always juicy and tasty, with the best homemade burger sauce. The chips are always perfectly crispy and fresh. I am gluten free and the team makes a lettuce burger, changes their gloves so itās safe, and then the chips are in seperate oil from the chicken so they too are safe!

Hands down, the best burgers in town! These piping hot masterpieces boast luxurious fillings that blend Asian and European flavors in perfect harmony. Think karage chicken and Philly cheese, giant mushrooms for the vegans and deliciously soft buns for the gluten intolerant.
Whether you're grabbing a quality takeaway meal or dining at one of their humble tables, this hidden gem is well worth a detour. The friendly owner-operator adds a personal touch that makes every visit a delight.
With its unique flavor combinations and top-notch ingredients, I wouldn't be surprised to see this burger joint become a chain sensation. Here's hoping! I can't wait to come back!

Ordered a gluten free burger off Uber eats which is advertised as having naked chicken tenderloins but came with crumbed chicken which is clearly not gluten free. This is the second time it has happened (I should have known better). Please stop advertising gluten free items when you cannot get it right

Most incredible burgers!! I super stoked to see they did gluten free buns so I could enjoy their burgers too. Got to be one of the best burgers Iāve had, chips were chunky and delicious too. The milkshakes and desserts looked delicious but I was too full to eat them! Will DEFINITELY be back here š
