A warm and inviting cafe beside the city marina surrounded by a number of cafes and next door to a museum and short walk to the Kauri Clock Museum. Good selection of gluten free food.

Awesome store. So much variety of bulk goods, gluten free and special diet raw ingredients. Range of candy and lollies including non traditional types. Dutch products, German equivalent of the English "Percy Pigs" (they move in/out of stock fast!!) Tidy clean shop and friendly accommodating staff.

We're usually in too much of a hurry when we visit Whangarei to take time out in a cafe but yesterday the conditions were right and we ducked in for a light lunch. We both loved this small, friendly cafe and especially the super-strong coffee. The oat milk latte was superb. We didn't have time to order one of their main meals (another time...) but chose from the cabinet: a taco wrap and a veg muffin. Each of these came with accompanying sauces and my wife commented on how usually 'vegetable muffins' means the tiniest sliver of vegetable matter amongst all the gluten, but at the Dragonfruit Cafe it was packed full of veg and very filling. My taco wrap was in two pieces and also very filling. I'm not a big fan of "fake" meat (in this case a kind of vegan mince) and I much prefer beans but it was tasty enough to meet requirements and kept me going all afternoon. I prefer a little more "zing" to my food and perhaps there could have been some lemon seasoning or a bit of spice, but perhaps my tastebuds were just having an off day. Regardless, highly recommended and I'm looking forward to trying some of the other menu items.

Lunch out with the family on a wet day. Happily found a table inside. They even had a gluten free menu for hubby, and lots of cabinet slices/cakes were gf (whole top row of photo). The winner was the Riverside Club Sandwich. Decent price for a decent feed
