The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

If your gluten free don't go here, made my 11 year old celiac son feel terrible about asking for gluten free

Coeliac aware and great gf options! Loved the chicken sushi bowl! A bit hard to get a table in there because it’s so busy, but worth it. I didn’t really love the Vietnamese loaded fries, but I’d say that’s just my preference.

OMG I had the most delicious gluten free lunch here. Salmon and potato ball with a fresh and delicious side salad. As a coeliac, I didn't feel at all sick after it, so I would suggest the food is prepared well from a cross-contamination perspective. I have eaten here a few times over the years and have never been ill. All I wish is that I took some of those tasty treats away with me! I'll definitely be back here. A place we always go to when down in Invercargill. The only problem with this place is that it's always so busy. But great vibe and highly recommend. If you are a coeliac please do recheck when you go there about any of your concerns.
