Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Napier

Rapid Bubbles

Great gluten free range, really good smoothies

Lindsay Blackman

Fabulous food and people. Recommend you book first. Dairy free and gluten free options

Margot

A local, love the ethos however twice now have had a GF scone resulting in a gluten reaction. Contamination somewhere in the process? Cannot be contributed to anything else as deliberately tested on the second occasion. Wont risk it again :-(

Scotty Matthews

Delectable Havana coffee. The barista knows what he’s doing as it’s hard to get a good long black these days. The gluten free carrot cake is the best I’ve ever had. Outstanding. Better than any other including gluten free speciality places in Wellington. I can’t wait to return with more time to indulge.

Ian Green

Great service and food. Good range of gluten-free options.

Chrissy

Very industrial-looking which makes it appear a bit “cold” but food is good and so is the coffee. Smashed avocado and Eggs Benedict both available as a gluten free option and proportions were huge!

Craig Wilson

Good gluten free choice and very tasty Poppys egg bene

Hine Tautari

Gluten free fish tastes delicious and the chips Milkshake tastes good to

Menyhárt István

Had dinner here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the creative and interesting selection of burgers on the menu. They cater well to different dietary needs, with solid gluten-free and vegan options available, which was great to see. The food itself was delicious—flavorful, satisfying, and served in good portion sizes. Pricing was reasonable for the quality, making it a good value overall. The only downside was the atmosphere. The music was unusually loud for a dinner setting, more reminiscent of a rave than a restaurant. It made conversation difficult and took away from what could have been a more relaxed dining experience.

Kathrine Rice (Kate)

Stopped by for brunch at this cafe in Napier. The cafe was busy which is a good sign. The service was fast & friendly, and the food was very good including both sweet & savoury cabinet options for gluten free. A menu is available but we bought food from the cabinet, so can't comment on that except to say that the soup seemed popular as they sold out of both options.

Star Van Wageningen

Food was delicious and the staff were very aware of coeliac and cross contamination. I had no reaction to the food and it was one of the best GF sandwiches I’ve ever had. It wasn’t a dedicated kitchen but they were very careful with preparing the meal and making sure there was no cross contamination.

Giles Peach

Had a very pleasant coffee experience here in the past. This time came with Dad for afternoon tea. I am neither gluten averse nor vegan, but their Carrot Cake offering for those that are was most excellent. Lots of that nutty carrot cake texture, and a well balanced flavour. Perhaps if the otherwise excellent icing was slightly less sweet? The Booster smoothie was top tier, and something I'd happily order again. The great taste while still containing Spinach meant I felt healthier with every delicious sip. My Father gave the veggie quiche an impressive 8/10, which is extreme praise from a man who can complain about anything. When pushed to elaborate, he stated "it was very nice". High praise indeed. We'll be back.

David Adams

Lots of outdoor seating, lots of pies my mince and cheese pie was very good, and had some gluten free sandwiches. Has a milk bar feel about it rather than a cost cafe.

Daniel K Munroe

We went there for an afternoon drink during Art Deco weekend, and then for dinner on the Sunday night. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly young Nova(?) who served us for dinner. Around $30 for a really nice fish of the day. Our gluten free requirements weren't a problem, and we'll definitely return next time we're in Napier.

Nikki May

Catered for our allergies and Needs perfectly. I often avoid dining out due to being gluten free and my son With Egg/peanut allergies. But Alistar and Alana both put our minds at Ease. Absolutely beautiful meal that was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back when we visit again from the Waikato. John and Nikki May 😀

Steadman Sara

Super friendly staff and great outside seating. It’s hard to find a place where you can make sure you can eat there if you are gluten-free or celiac. But the Gintrap has heaps of glutenfree options available. As we asked the friendly waitress, she told us all about the glutenfree things. Some things are also got offered to be made celiac, she just mentioned that they can’t do the fried stuff celiac cause everything is fried in the same fryer. We ended up ordering a glutenfree pizza and a glutenfree burger and both of the meals were absolutely stunning.

Bas De Vries

Went there on a public holiday. No booking for lunch. 8 people. The place was busy. They offered us a place in the garden but said we would be a bit cramped around the table. I all worked out and we had a great time there. Almost all ordered the fish and chips at $32 a plate! Wow was it worth it! Everyone said it was the best fish and chips thy had in ages. Very generous portions of fish. Thy even did a gluten and dairy free plate too. No issues. Probably should have shared the plates, but everything was finished. We had a great white wine with our meal but I must admit I forgot witch one. Paid the 15% surcharge without any issues. Hope to go back again.

Glad we found this delectable cafe before we left town. Out of everywhere we visited this week this one's was the best. Coffee was delicious , eggs Benedict with salmon and the big breakfast. Staff were attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Loved bring by the seaside and how modern this cafe is. Definitely recommend a visit. My sidekick said the gluten free bread was the best he’s ever tasted. It’s made on site and looks delicious!

The gluten free kebab is actually good! The gluten free wrap they use holds up well and feels like normal. The food itself is better than anywhere else in town. I highly recommend the place for either food or vibe

I stopped by for lunch and a coffee. Coffee; mocachino with coconut milk was excellent. I had the vegetarian stack with bacon. Served promptly, plenty of spinach, bacon, portobello mushrooms, a little more capsicum dressing would have been appreciated. All up though lovely. I also appreciated their knowledge of dairy & gluten free food. Well trained. Would go again.

New to Napier and thought I'd give this place ago. It was so genuinely good in every way! Food was amazing, staff were friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend giving this place a go if you like the new york style pizza! Update* Almost 2 years later, this has become one of the best locals I've had, fantastic food, fantastic staff and in general just a great vibe. If you haven't been, you have to (if you're gluten/dairy free, im so sorry for your inability to experience this).

Kathryn Barnhill

Delicious burgers, love having gluten free/coeliac options, especially the fries and the chicken burgers!

We asked them but they weren't able to offer any gluten free options for our son or vegan options for someone else in our group, so we went elsewhere that was willing to provide something they could eat.

Karla Mitchell

Great spot to sit outside with friends in the large shady yard. Good selection of gluten free food, and dog friendly as well. Looking forward to coming back next time we're in Napier.
