Highly recommend this Cafe. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. Food was amazing, many choices of gluten free and keto. I will definitely be back again.
Have been here before and enjoyed the experience so thought we’d give it another go.
Smashed Avocado Bagel (with Salmon as an add-on) was generous and the salmon portion very generous. Bagel was very tough to cut with a knife though but maybe being gluten free had something to do with that? Very tasty though.
We also had the Poke Bowl which was underwhelming. Not the traditional bowl at all, as it was on a plate. No sign of coriander in the rice, no kewpie mayo, no crispy shallots and no sweet chilli (all were advertised on the menu). Pretty disappointing for $32.90 and our two meals and bottled juice made it an $80 lunch.
A beautiful, cozy cafe! We had breakfast in the café and absolutely loved it. There are many vegan and vegetarian options. I had the granola and can recommend it to everyone. The taste is simply indescribably delicious! Plus fresh vegan yogurt and almond milk. Also fruit paste and fresh fruit included. There are plant-based milk alternatives to choose from. The food was really nice and carefully prepared. Therefore it tastes and looks great! Since we were so excited, we took our lunch to go with us: the vegan panini and a “vegan and gluten free peanut chocolate bar/cake”. I still dream about both of them now because they were so delicious! The panini had a delicious vegetable patty. The chocolate cake/bar was so creamy and delicious! If I had the opportunity, I would definitely be a regular customer of the café! Therefore a recommendation from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this great breakfast experience!
I ordered a Gluten free burger(allergy) and received a normal bun.
Rang and was offered a replacement or vouchers and opted for a replacement.
The replacement had aioli which our original order did not have, and the service by Lex was rude and she tried to charge for the replacement
Devine! Am so pleased i discovered this place, o much so its going to now be a regular visit each time I'm here.
Highly recommend the La Forestiere if you're a mushroom lover. The flavours are sensational. I was having trouble deciding what to have and the wonderful server recommended if I'm a mushroom lover to try it.... she was right, I can understand why it's her favourite.
Great option for Gluten free dining, including a selection of French sweet treats in the cabinet. Yum.
Nice brunch spot. Staff member said big breakfast could be gluten free and then served it with hash browns that weren’t gluten free. Shouldn’t be hard to get gluten free hash browns or just not suggest that as a gluten free meal.

It’s always difficult eating out when gluten free but there’s so many GF options!!! The girl working out the front really sold it to us! Platter was awesome but make sure to starve yourself before going as it’s a huge portion! Ha!
Came on 18th November 2023 for a birthday celebration, excellent service from initial phone booking to everything on the night, food was fantastic highly recommend the platters but for me the Vegetarian Pizza was absolutely delicious we thoroughly enjoyed our night here and thought it was good value for money. Great selection for our gluten free members of the group too, Thanks Fainting Goat for a great night😊
Really lovely staff. I have specific diet restrictions and they kindly made me a toastie on gluten free bread. Most of my group got coffee and the big sausage roll. What a great deal. The sausage roll really is big!
Great service tonight from our lovely server Ethan. Easily helped us with our gluten and soy allergies. Was a nice nostalgic time as we no longer have a Cobb and Co where we live.
Excellent service went to pick up boys lunch thinking i was going to miss out being Gluten free but no great advise and a perfect wrap, my first time there great seating large but private area's, fantastic food
Amazing food, great for gluten free!! coeliac and veggie travelling in new zealand and genuinely the most full and satisfied i've ever been. Bit expensive, but fully worth it. Not a lot of seating but takeaway also a great option!
Best food I’ve had while in NZ! Was super busy but food came in good time at all and was simply amazing! Absolutely recommend!
Good gluten free options too!
The food was delicious, the customer service excellent. Only downside - so many wonderful options to choose from. Excellent gluten-free options. Positive consumer experience thanks 😊
Walked in hopeful of a breakfast meal as am a diagnosed coeliac with a gluten allergy. The staff were most helpful and altered a meal to fit in with my requirements. Was it delicious? OMG yes and no after effects. My family also dined and all were very happy with their meals, not expensive and were delivered quickly to the table. I recommend Citron Cafe highly. The coffee is also excellent. 10/10.
Delicious, freshly made wood-fired pizza. Lovely crispy base and loaded with topping. Lots of choice including gluten free options. Friendly, helpful staff.
We are a regular at this cafe and it never disappoints. The food is good but what sets it apart from others, is the superb service, hospitality and community interaction. I love the upgrades they do to the place like covering the back outside area so its weatherproof and promoting local art and craft for sale. My only comment is I wish there were some Keto options for adults and a both Dairy Free & Gluten Free option - especially for kids.
Coconut milk latte was delicious and my daughter loved her dairy free almond milk iced coffee. I'd love to see more allergy friendly treats (e.g. sweets that are free from especially dairy, egg & gluten)
Great place for a quick bite to eat or full feed.
Very clean and waiters are very pleasant and curious.
This time just went for a lge bowl of chips and wine as we know this place caters for persons with Coeliac.
Rocked up at 9pm for a late dinner and was greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff. I was given all of the options for my gluten free allergy and they double checked to ensure it was safe to eat. We received complimentary bubbles (I didn’t realise it was valentines day😅) Fantastic meal. Even leaving and paying the bill the staff had time for a chat and thanked us for coming. We definitely will be returning.
best coffee i ever tasted, was presented on the 13th day of March 2022. On this day around lunch time, I free wheeled my analogue push boycycle ride en route to a grass edge, with this blossoming rose, omg its fragrance was the sweetest girl flower every, also i dismounted my steers man steed, cool and casual the writer as a saunterer ego z in to this AVC ( Arts Village Cafe) . Significantly Flâneuring if ykyk, no doubt, i ordered some black gold. sitting in the cafe it came pretty promptly, this is when the sheer surprises starting with my aotearoan coffee; - a (1st) for the morning g, well by gosh this ( Americana, u dig)- of course you do. Omg the way the woman made it, the temperature and flavors burst and quenched totally my thirst- bude- my dudes, true 💯 thirsty. I absolutely praise this AVC, fact be i drank a good cuppa yum tasting coffee as if it got sugar cane, milk - almond gluten -free , or whatever , IN HEAVEN, geez Girls it was soooo Good, and yet I love it Black. This was a high key cafe ( how you say coffee, yes) ok. Now, hey listen 🎶 ❤♥In between this and the next and another, i got into a scrumptious mt ngo stack 😋 👌 big ups, then a chicken dish, Thank you Terina 😋 Chelsea 💪Ann and yours truly. Stud. (hope my fam don't read this is me, as I'm telling them I'm loosing weight. Will most defs lounge about inside this arts village cafe. Again and to look at the art. Yer yah yah... tbc
I’ve been told about this place for a long time and finally came here. The food was so good. I have intolerances to soy, gluten - and they accommodated my order. And, even though these items are on the menu, I did not feel unwell, like at many other places. So I will be coming back here. Friendly and excellent food.
This is the best treat I’ve ever had. It tastes like Christmas new years and Valentine’s Day all on one bite.
I just got the worst GF pizza from the Koutu branch. The normal pizza is good, but the gluten free pizza is absolutely uneatable. GF is not a choice for everyone! 😞 If you can't prepare GF food don't say you can and then add extra charges and expect people to be happy with tast- less food 😡
Really enjoyed our dinner here tonight. The waiter was great in helping my wife with some changes to her meal as she is on a gluten free diet and has some other food intolerances.
My steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious.
Tonight table of 4.
1 gluten free. Which when asked the server what options, to his reply anything we can change the menu to suit. Food was beautiful. Personally I had the ostrich special..... divine!
Fantastic service, time between courses was perfect, drinks were never empty.
Highly recommend.
We will be back!
Yummy fusion if Latin American cuisine, tasty food full of flavor, many Gluten-free options. Sangria with a tocuh of sherry was exceptional, so was the staff. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I recommend trying their home made jalapeno sauces too. Thanks Sabroso!
Really lovely spot for dinner. I brought my family here last night - we have three vegetarians, a vegan AND someone with gluten allergy, and Lovely India catered to all of us beautifully. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive, all the dishes were absolutely delicious and the prices were fantastic. 10/10 we will definitely be back
Eastwood has been a favourite in thenpast(great location good coffee and gluten free options) this time coffee was below average and not much choice on food for gluten intolerant
Love this place as it caters to all of my dietary requirements. Protein smoothies, plus they have gluten free products. The customer service is excellent and their coffee is amazing.
Very good option for Gluten Free.
Coeliac’s will be okay here as I was not sick at all.
Staff are very well presented and so nice to talk too. Restaurant is very clean n tidy with very relaxed atmosphere.
Food was outstanding and very good portion sizes.
We will definitely be back for more
Celiac friendly
