I almost never go into town, but I will more regularly to go to this cafe. I'm not on a plant-based diet, but that doesn't matter - their selection is huge, healthy and delicious, service excellent. (Also tons of gluten free options)

Grindz is amazing, always high quality food and great coffee. One of our favorite spots to go. I personally struggle with dietary restrictions, and I have had some of the best gluten free and dairy free snacks at Grindz! My all time favorite being the banana chocolate chip cake, with coconut yogurt on the side when it's on the menu! Absolutely wonderful owner who is always a joy to talk to and she is so grateful. Keep doing what you guys do, you rock!

Great place for a meal. We had a large party here for celebration. They set up a long table for us. The food was delicious and lots of gluten free options. I love the atmosphere of the wooden tables large doors and even log fire. Staff are always lovely. Lots of space and room for children families.

I can give 5 star for banana muffin and their gluten free snacks. So yumm. However, Staff are ridiculous. They are more interested in talking with each other than serving customers...So rude customer service

Great service . I needed gluten free food and needed to educate the waitress that the fries were not gluten free if they were cooked in a fryer with gluten. So.if you are gluten free/coeliacs don't get their frys. But the rest of the meal was tasty and brilliant

"Wow, I think this is my new favourite eatery", I told my family, while still browsing the menu. This is the kind of food I love and it was excellent. I absolutely loved the dinner here and left so full I was uncomfortably content. It's a great atmosphere and the waiting staff were friendly and professional. Seems to have plenty of gluten free options available for Coeliacs which pleased my wife and food came reasonably quickly too. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu.

Always a good stopoff here for decent coffee and brunch or lunch. We had the beef nachos for our gluten free daighter, french toast and bacon for the other hungry monster and the veggie stack. If you haven't eaten for days and all you can think about is a big plate to fill the tummy, don't get the veggie stack - it's only just big enough for a wafer thin super model. Order up the big breakfast for big eaters and hungry teenage boys. There's plenty on offer from the cabinet. Coffees are good enough, but not the bestin Tauranga. The girls are always friendly and most times plenty of parking in the Bethlehem Palmers carpark - after you've doused your body in as much caffeine as you can drink, pick up some pot plants and get into the garden to work off some of those calories!

This Turkish place is our favourite stop when visiting Tauranga. I am allergic to gluten and they always clean the tongs and make sure the meal is made without gluten. The food is amazing! Also the family that own this restaurant are so lovely. Highly recommend!!

We ate here for the first time & loved it! All the food was great but our favourites were the special spicy seared tuna & the rum roasted pineapple with lime coconut mousse - they were fantastic. There were not a lot of mains options for my coeliac, vegetarian partner but what she did have was carefully prepared and really nice. We will def be back.

Visiting from out of town , came here with my brother for a bite to eat. The service was spectacular and efficient , all the staff are so friendly and such a good vibe. The coffee and fries I got were superb. Got a gluten free brownie to take away which was so good I ate it all in one sitting. Talk about a great experience. 1000000% chance I will be back next time for more delish food. Thank you.

My wife and I booked in for dinner last night - New Years Eve. The food was fantastic, so moreish, and the range of food on the menu was perfect for us, including plenty of gluten free options. The service was next level and we were looked after very well. The humour was a definite bonus! We'll definitely be back :)

Popular place and we were nearly put off by all the tables being reserved in advance. But fortunately we went in and it was great. They have a few vegan and gluten free options including a salad, cauliflower bites, a vegan lasagne, and fries plus others that could be made vegan/gf. Worth a visit but be aware the coffee is expensive at $9 for a large decaf flat white.

Don’t get me wrong my sub was good. But my partner is coeliac , she ordered a GF wrap and they didn’t change their gloves, and they were doing others orders at the same time, she pulled her wrap out and it’s all stuck to the paper, ripped the paper. If your gluten free/coeliac don’t come to this place. If you’re just keen on a feed it’s not bad, but pretty disappointing .

Being Gluten Free we previewed the menu to check what we wanted. Arrived ordered our drinks and once our drinks arrived we went to order our Entree which we were then advised they couldn't make as they don't have all the ingredients. (Had we known that there were only select things.on the menu available prior to ordering our drinks we would have left.) Went on to order pur mains and had the same issue couldn't have what we wanted as they did not have all the ingredients super disappointed. Also got offered a bottle of water which seemed to take for ever to arrive and ended up asking for it multiple times until it finally arrived. Service was slow and I am sure they kept forgetting about us nobody seemed to really care that we couldn't order what we wanted like it was standard procedure for things not to be available on the menu. Very disappointing.

Besides the desserts being amazing, the highlight of this place has got to be how accommodating they were of one of our group's gluten allergy. Highly recommended this place for anyone with dietary requirements but still want to get the platter or the high tea. The platter is recommended for two, but the four of us were perfectly happy with it. Looking forward to the high tea later on.

A selection of dishes had by our group, with a number sharing pizzas that were of a good size. The gluten free one was a quality base but was unfortunately underdone.

This little pocket of a place was amazing so, after buying my daughter and I some food, my wife suddenly rang me and asked for a coffee and some gluten-free food if they had any well indeed they did, I ask for one item then lovely woman serving asked me if she was a coeliac, and I said yes she in that instant proceeded to put on gloves and continued with the order, I gotta say that was pretty cool, and let's not bypass the fact that food is amazing and the people are too.

This is Tauranga’s best kept secret exclusive, & invite-only. This is an authentic chinese-cum-vietnamese experience that even caters to gluten intolerances. The chef’s attitude leaves something to be desired but his wife is delightful and the food more than makes up for it. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Thanks Mike and Jo for a magical experience.

We chose to go with the pre cooked dishes on offer that were kept warm under heat lamps (& were possibly in a bain Marie?). I had vegetarian noodle, vegetarian fried rice, sweet & sour pork, fish bites & chips. The vegetarian noodle & rice dishes tasted really nice. The sweet & sour pork wasn't very sweet or sour & the pork wasn't that great. The fish bites looked nice & thick but didn't taste fresh. The chips were great. Service was friendly & quick. Gluten free foods were well labelled. Plenty of free parking outside.
