The best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had, even better to peace of mind that the whole place is fully gf, and the staff are very knowledgeable. We enjoyed taking these down to eat on the lakefront, will definitely be back again!
Loved my experience here the staff were super kind and helpful, I rang beforehand and was made to feel super welcome and when I arrived I was told all the safety measures put in place such as a seperate gf fryer and working area. I had the fried chicken burger it was okay, the bread tasted a bit sconish and the chicken was a little underseasoned but the Kumara fries were insanely good! Would love to try one of the other burgers :)
Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.
Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!
Stopped for some tea and coffee but ended up ordering The Briscoff Dream which took longer than expected and yummy hot chocolate. Beautiful quotes across the cafe. Plenty of gluten free option available. Was a bit crowded and had to stand in line and worth it though.
As a coeliac and lactose intolerant person I was happy to find a place that was able to safely cater for breakfast and lunch! I didn’t love my breakfast, but I LOVED the chicken Vietnamese salad I had for lunch. Like it was the best lunch I had in my New Zealand travels.
They are coeliac aware and take extra care with gluten free meals. Nice staff members and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed my coffee too!
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 😍 Service was so so friendly, the guys working here are absolutely wonderful.
Amazing kai every time with excellent service. There have been numerous times I've ordered when they're closing and they are still happy to make my order. Great gluten free options that are coeliac friendly. Thanks so much for your excellent business!!
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.
Excellent cafe - felt very celiac safe. There is a sign by the till saying that they offer celiac food - the kitchen isn't completely gluten free but the staff were confidently able to tell us about the seperate prep areas and fryers. We also spoke to the owner of the cafe, who brought out our food, who confirmed that they had celiacs in their family. Also there was one counter of food on display that was dedicated gluten free, with salads and cakes. The staff on the till confirmed what hot meals were available to celiacs, and the food was good and came out hot. Very good experience overall.
What a debacle! Just a couple of snacky ski bums craving a tasty gluten free tender meal after a cracking on the maunga. We love chicken, so this seemed like the perfect choice. It was not. When you think of a chicken tender you think of golden, juicy, tasty, crispy... But how wrong we were to rely on the website photos. What we received was an unseasoned, insipid, whiter than the snow tender with really no redeeming features. For an outfit that specialises in chicken, this was exceptionally bad. Only plus side to this whole shamozzle was the chips. Thank goodness Briscoes and Woolworths are close by to grab the other couple of necessities on this trip. We're not angry, we're just disappointed.
Protip: Woolworths is just down the road. Grab yourself a packet of Waitoa gluten free burger fillets and some Makakihi Fries and you'll be waaaaay happier than us.
Edit: old mate Owner is (again) saying it was a kids meal... Absolutely wasn't! ...not sure how long they can keep hiding behind that. Poor form to be honest. Get down to countdown - 3x the food, 10x the taste for less pesos
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 😍
Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac.
Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot.
Thank you
Great coffee, the open steak sandwich was amazing! The potato roastie was definitely to come back for! Great flavors on such a simple dish. The table next to me had the smash avo on !in house made bread! I'm pretty sure it was gluten free and keto 👌 and strawberry matcha looked like a coctail 🤩 very friendly staff 👌
May have walked away with a macadamia and( "something,caramilk?🤷🏼♀️") slice 🤫 (no regrets 😋)
Everything in the cabinet looked so good,so technically that's a win 😉
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 “*insert food* for coelaic”
Would come back to Auckland again just for this feed!
Amazing staff. A real treat with separate fryer for us coeliac people. I had the hashbrown, pesto, avacado and balsamic glaze. Yuuuum!! Loved how many amazing toys there for child-friendly eating

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!
So excited to find a different option for Gluten Free at this lovely cafe today.
The savoury loaf was delicious! Thanks so very much. So sick of friands and orange cakes offered by every cafe!!
Super friendly knowledgeable staff, seperate fryer. Had my first gf crepes since going gluten free. Bare in mind some of the dishes are rather small especially if you take things out such as bacon. Will be back
Great food and service. If you like Malaysian food (who doesn't?) This is a great option. My nephew has allergy with gluten and they took extra care with his food. Amazing
Lovely service especially when with someone who has a gluten allergy.
They confirmed that they have a new fryer that is dedicated for gluten free fries!! This was very comforting for myself and my partner.
Very welcome and exciting environment.
Whenever I walk in I'm welcomed with big smiles and positivity.
Awesome dinner here on a busy weekend. Staff were so helpful with my young coeliac son, sorting out gluten free options for him, and even have a separate fryer! True heaven as he wolfed down a delish gluten free burger and fries. The steak and mash was awesome, and service was lovely. Very much appreciate the extra mile when dining with kids. Lovely courtyard.
Overpriced for small portions served with a side of attitude for free; rushed to order and felt unwelcoming and like we’d done something wrong before even speaking. Also says gluten free can be accommodated on a sign outside but when asked, we were told no (no further context or explanation) and felt like we couldn’t ask anything else.
Cozy pub with a relaxed ambiance. They offer a variety of dietary options, including vegan and gluten-free choices. The staff was friendly and attentive. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, and ample free parking. My only suggestions are to consider adding an acidic ingredient to some of the fattier menu items, and to improve the base of the vegetarian pizza.
Beautifully furnished with a great atmosphere and helpful staff. They have gluten-free options clearly listed on the menus, which is really helpful. When asked for further information about processes, the lady seating us told us that they have separate fryers for the gluten free food which helped my husband with Coeliac disease feel more safe. We weren’t that hungry so we just shared a cider and a GF chicken burger with fries. The chicken was nice and crispy while also still juicy.
