Had gluten free eggs bene; the hash brown was the most delicious I have ever eaten. Crisp on the outside & fluffy inside. Very generous size portions too. The coffee wasn't hot enough for our liking but otherwise fantastic breakfast. Busy cafe; obviously popular.

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.

They were very accommodating/knowledgeable to gluten friendly choices and were able to clearly communicate which dishes they could make for me. I had the vegetable rice noodles and they were delicious. It is a shared kitchen.

Called in to here on our way home. Being coeliac, i wondered if i would be able to eat anything. The lovely young woman that served us knew what coeliac entailed and offered to make white bait fritters. They had gluten free batter mix but i asked her to just make them with egg. The traditional way. I ordered two. And they were utterly delicious!!!!! Hubby made short work of his choices. So tasty. 😋 Love the effort put in by the staff to help every customer so they had delicious meal. Highly recommend. (I did think about crayfish but couldn’t be responsible for killing the live one in the tank. He got to live another day)

Excellent service from the moment we sat down. Lovely waiter, interesting, unhurried and very attentive. The meals were superb only the venison could have been a bit warmer. No specific kids menu but happy to serve a kids portion. Well catered gluten free. Beautiful side of vegetables.Timely service and wholesome interaction. A bit pricey but we did eat quality meals. Well done AAA

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!

Delicious scrambled eggs on gluten free bread!

Went for lunch. When we arrived only one table occupied, but three that needed clearing. Staff chatting in the corner basically ignored us. No indication of whether it was table service or order at counter. Ordered gluten free meal. It seemed okay, but later I had all the symptoms of having been glutened. Probably cross contamination due to poor food handling practices. We won’t be back.

Service was horrific staff were so rude and swore at customers. Staff was ill trained on celiac disease and servicing. Worst service I’ve ever had.
