Delectable Havana coffee. The barista knows what he’s doing as it’s hard to get a good long black these days. The gluten free carrot cake is the best I’ve ever had. Outstanding. Better than any other including gluten free speciality places in Wellington. I can’t wait to return with more time to indulge.

Stopped by for brunch at this cafe in Napier. The cafe was busy which is a good sign. The service was fast & friendly, and the food was very good including both sweet & savoury cabinet options for gluten free. A menu is available but we bought food from the cabinet, so can't comment on that except to say that the soup seemed popular as they sold out of both options.

Just returned home replete from an absolutely delicious lunch enjoyed on the verandah in balmy weather at the Birdwoods Cafe in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay. Two of us ordered the pork belly on potato rosti which was both meltingly tender inside but crisp and crunchy on the outside and two had the Birdwoods pie which were bursting with succulent beef. There was no plate envy on this occasion. Our desserts were the moist gluten free chocolate brownie, a chocolate mousse and the rhubarb cake. So so delicious because they tasted authentic as real food should. Thank you for your very personal table service, beautiful grounds and elegant venue - it is so much more than one expects a Cafe to be. Sharyn Pearce Waikanae

A very cute little cafe. Lovely customer service. Had a delicious vegan toastie and carrot cake with a soy latte. Popped in for a coffee and was very excited by the vegan food options, as they’re hard to come by, particularly in smaller shops. Thank you for catering for different dietary requirements! I’m not gluten free but was surprised by how tasty the gluten free bread was. Keep up the good work!
