I am a coeliac. The care the special staff take is amazing. Nothing to difficult for them. Always smiling ,polite and helpful. Thanks to all. Well done
What a great meeting place, a Cafe with great food variety including a large selection of Gluten Free on the menu. I did find the prices a bit on the rich side, they do have some valued goods, I will return as The band wagon certainly has ambience.
Gluten free fish - grilled, or for those who don't like batter are available The chips are cooked in a separate vat so there's no cross contamination but the chicken salt does contain gluten
The fish is delicious however, the calamari is divine It's crispy on the outside yet has soft & tender meat The fish also comes with lemon for those that appreciate that tangy addition
There is also hamburgers & other choices to choose from
Delighted to find a good range of gluten free options in this regional cafe. Don’t be fooled by the shopping centre location, food was very good, seating relaxed and comfortable and service excellent. Good range of vego options and milk alternatives, too.
Just wonderful!! We stopped in for lunch and to pick up some sweet treats to take home. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The kids had a great time, especially when their drinks came with jelly snakes wrapped around the straws!
We loved the stuffed mushrooms and the salt and pepper squid with mango salad. The squid was very lightly battered and perfectly cooked, so delicious!
The Cafe is clearly a favourite in the neighbourhood, it has a lovely atmosphere! It felt like we were popping in on old friends.
The lemon tart was divine, so creamy and tangy! The gluten free brownie and cupcake were a huge hit too.
Thanks for making our last stop in Port Mac a memorable one, Bittersweet!
Saw the great reviews and gluten free options and decided on Flare for dinner with my family.
We were one of the last tables of the night.
Lots of GF options and an extensive “meaty menu”
Food was ok but not great.
Service was a standout. Friendly, efficient.
A better place for lunch for me. Think burgers and loaded fries etc.
Excellent food, great gluten free bread (one of the best I’ve tasted being gluten free for approx 10 years). Good milkshakes, great ambience and friendly staff. Towards the pricey end in our opinion ($16 for bacon, eggs and sourdough, and smoothies at $8.50) but worthwhile considering food was excellent quality and eggs were free range (and very tasty!). Would return with no hesitation
Amazing cafe we found through our stop heading back to Sydney. Food and service was exceptional. The avocado smash with gluten free toast was so flavoursome and the big breakfast was decent size. Not to mention coffee was also great!
Needed a GF hot chocolate for my LO. Staff happily gave me the packet to look at the ingredients, it stated Gluten Free which was even better! Also bought a chicken, pesto, pumpkin roll to take away (for me - not GF) - and it was delicious. Very friendly staff, very clean cafe.
Seriously perfection..
Passionate staff
Amazing cocktails and we had Gin mixers too.
I’m a tough critic and they did a beautiful job.
Also full Gluten free menu
Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and food. My being a coeliac I had the GF stake sandwich. The steak was great everything was fresh but the gluten free bread was it hard as a rock understandably it's hard to get gluten-free bread right all the time but it shouldn't be toasted until it sounds like a rock on the plate everybody else's meals look amazing and everyone enjoy themselves.
Really lovely little place by the water with a great atmosphere. We had the Nasi goreng (gluten free!) and it was really tasty. Coffee was lovely and smooth. Definitely recommend visiting.
I will not bag them but my wife got ill eating the "gluten free" icecream, yep she is a bad coeliac. Probably a cross contamination issue or staff not aware that for many gluten free is not a dietry choice, but rather a health need. Im sure most will have no issues, so I just hope they become that little more aware about the needs of coeliacs. Other wise friendly and helpful.
We went during the winter. The atmosphere would be much better with warmer weather. Still, five stars. The spaghetti was just like Mom used to make. The brownie was gluten free but still quite moist and tasty. The calamari was lightly breaded, not too many carbs, and super tender. Not microwaved and rubbery like at some other places. Great food and good recommendations from our waitress.
Celiac friendly
