Excellent coffee. It took a while to arrive and we had finished our breakfast by the time it arrived but it was worth waiting for, for sure. Nice gluten free breakfast.

AMAZING <3 Such a great place to stop for lunch. We loved the gluten free options and enjoyed the karage chicken and home made corn bread very much.

We ordered all three of the gluten free meals that are on the menu and shared them between two. It was too much food honestly but it was all so delicious that we ate it all at the expense of ordering dessert. We were there for our wedding anniversary and it was just right. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. The staff member greeted us like friends he hadn’t met yet and was very attentive and kind. The music was in the background and had a lovely kiwi feel. The place was clean and the tables are spaced apart so you can chat comfortably. If you are looking for somewhere to eat this is the place. Value for money, great service, delicious food and comfy atmosphere. 10 out of 10 would visit again!
