I was recommended to go here as a coeliac and wasn’t expecting a buffet style eatery - the food was okay.I went there twice and the first time the hot cabinet had only GF trays of food (which made me comfortable), but then the next day I came for breakfast and they did have one non-gf tray in the same cabinet. This made me uneasy, especially as the tray was the second row in, meaning the spoonfuls of food would have to travel over other gf trays and potentially contaminate them.

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!

I love a good burger and this place didn't disappoint! Having both Gluten and Dairy allergies it can be hard at times when eating out but they were super accomidating and the mofo burger was super tasty and filling! They even provided a child's seat for our little one to sit and enjoy a hot chip or two

Loved this place, inside is so beautiful, the staff member I spoke to was so friendly and the pizza was delicious. I went to so many places in Wanaka looking for somewhere that could do a gluten free pizza that was coeliac safe and I finally found it here. Pizza base was so crispy, the pizza was amazing and I'm definitely going back next time!

Best burrito I’ve had on this side of the pacific. And multiple vegan options! Staff are kind and very aware of my food allergies and dietary restrictions, and they are happy to modify things for me. Would love to see the addition of vegan mayo & gluten free burritos someday! :)

Excellent option Celiacs friendly. I was visiting Wanaka, and I asked in all the restaurants around with gluten free option, if they were safe for celiacs. The answer was always the same "There is cross contamination and I can’t make sure you that it is 100% gluten free" A little tired of the same thing, I walked to a very nice place where there were different food trucks, a small creek, and plenty of place and grass to sit. My partner asked for celiacs option in this place "Coco Hut. South East Asian Food" and happily, they told me that they could make Pad Thai 100% gluten free version, safe for celiacs. In addition to assuring me that all utensils and pans would be very clean for me, no cross contamination. My Pad Thai was delicious, plus I had a gluten free kombucha. All very well declared 100% gluten free. The concern and knowledge about celiac disease was very noticeable and much appreciated. I enjoyed it, didn't get sick, safe place!❤️ Highly recommended. Just go, mention, and enjoy. Compliments to the Chef and the girl who attended me and understood my need!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

DELICIOUS! Favorite meal in NZ. Fresh, wholesome, and nourishing with options for strict dietary restrictions. I am gluten and dairy free and it is very hard to find quick, casual food on the go. I found what I needed here! So yummy. Thank you!

A charming spot. We walked down from our Air BnB to find great coffees, snacks for gluten free, vegetarian, or neither, sweets or savory. Choose from covered tables on concrete or in the grass, near the lush garden.

Called in late last week for dinner (one gluten and dairy free plus two others), two of us had the big platter which looked intimidating when it arrived but was the perfect size for two hungry people. I had the burger, which again was excellent - the venison was our most liked . Busy and great service.
