First time here today and I'm blown away by the food and service. 10/10 for the Gluten free, Dairy free variety of food they have. Nice, cosy and tucked away slightly outside of Havelock city center. I never felt so good after having so much food!! Must visit specially for the gf,DF, v options and a variety of fig products!
A local recommended the Paper Mulberry for lunch and I'm so glad they did.
Great cottage-style decor featuring local arts and produce, we had a delicious lunch. Also available is a variety of slices, pies and sandwiches. Generous servings.delicious food, friendly service, plenty of gluten-free options.
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.
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!
Fish was nicely pan-fried. To many chips for a lunch meal but great if hungery, the salad had a nice light dressing. Good selection of gluten free options. Large range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.
Had our sons wedding 60 guests on saturday 4 pm on .
Food was great , everything they served was delicious .
Staff were helpful nothing was a bother.
There were quite a few ceoliac ( gluten free) and they were more than happy with food too and no one was unwell the next day .
Couldn't speak more highly of food .venue etc
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.
Just returned home replete from an absolutely delicious lunch enjoyed on the verandah in balmy weather at the Birdwoods Cafe in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay. Two of us ordered the pork belly on potato rosti which was both meltingly tender inside but crisp and crunchy on the outside and two had the Birdwoods pie which were bursting with succulent beef. There was no plate envy on this occasion. Our desserts were the moist gluten free chocolate brownie, a chocolate mousse and the rhubarb cake. So so delicious because they tasted authentic as real food should.
Thank you for your very personal table service, beautiful grounds
and elegant venue - it is so much more than one expects a Cafe to be.

I am a gluten free and dairy free eater and they worked to accommodate my strange eating habits. Yummmmeeee salad provided. Thanks so much for looking out for those of us who are picky eaters.
Went for a dinner with gluten free friends, we ordered drinks and four mains to share. Amazed that all but two of the options on the menu were gluten free. Food came out almost instantly and the flavours were incredible. We couldn’t even pick a favourite, they were all amazing. A bit disappointed we couldn’t try dessert as we were too full. Something to look forward to next time. Wait staff were attentive and friendly.
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.

Nice pub with a good selection of drinks and a great offering of gluten free food. We had the steak sandwich and it was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient.
Excellent service from a well informed team member, sorry I didn’t catch her name lovely well spoken lady. Informed us of the gluten free options.
The fish of the day was delicious so I’m told! I chose the lamb rump,, cooked just right with eggplant & peas,,, who would have thought that this would taste so good. Thanks very much. We will be back next time we’re in town
Ordered breakfast for 2 with drinks. Server confused with request of no bread (gluten free) and asked for a substitute. Paid sat down and received 1 breakfast only, asked waiter to check, the cashier then came out to our table to argue with me that we never ordered a 2nd breakfast!! Showing me it wasnt on her till reciept! Which clearly shows she never rang it up in the first place, she made a scene in front of my guest and the table next to us who commented to us they couldn’t believe her behaviour. Overall disappointing unprofessional service, would not bother going back there again. Sutto is not what it use to once be, clearly gone down hill and now the customer is always wrong!
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.
Great local Kiwi cafe in the heart of town in Waipuk. I really appreciated the gluten free options and easy menu. Had all the classics plus some yummy options of cabinet food. Atmosphere was lovely and bustling with locals.
This is a place that we often go when visiting family in Hastings. Worth the drive as atmosphere, setting, service and food is always fantastic. Gluten free options are really good too, not your standard token nachos and gluten free sandwiches. Highly recommend the gluten free chicken. Delicious!
A very cute little cafe. Lovely customer service. Had a delicious vegan toastie and carrot cake with a soy latte. Popped in for a coffee and was very excited by the vegan food options, as they’re hard to come by, particularly in smaller shops. Thank you for catering for different dietary requirements! I’m not gluten free but was surprised by how tasty the gluten free bread was. Keep up the good work!
Nice salads and great coffee. Good service. Friends had lasagne which they enjoyed. Large portions. Could have been more gluten free options. Nice modern setting
