The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(
So, so happy to have discovered the cozy corner cafe. We're not locals but will definitely be coming back anytime we're in Taupo. This place is a gem and a rare find! Most cafes offer gluten-free, vegan etc as one or two options on their menu as an added consideration for those with dietary requirements. This place caters to virtually every dietary requirement as the basis of their menu, whilst still offering what you'd expect from any cafe. The food is delicious, as well as great coffee. Super highly recommended! I wish there were more cafes around like this
We were greeted with smiles and welcomed. We ordered breakfast and my partner is celiac, we asked for gf bread and the lovely lady instantly asked if she was celiac, so that was amazing.
We sat down and it felt like we had only just planted out bums on the seats and our amazing iced coffees and chocolates came and very shortly after our yummy breakfast was on our table.
Yummy food, really reasonable prices and fast!
Very impressed.
We love trying new cafes here in waihi when we visit and super happy we got the opportunity to try the food!
Highly recommend showing love to this business.
Great cafe, we visited for lunch. Menu as well as cabinet food. Good variety, gluten free catered for. Coffee was excellent. Didn't wait long for food, quite busy too. Friendly staff. Cool furniture from days gone by, newspaper to read if you like mainstream media 🤣. We sat inside but there was also good outside seating and tables as well. Parking was OK even though there was school sports in the field opposit. I'd rate this cafe the best in Paeroa
Was nice to have the option of gluten free pancakes, I haven’t seen that on a menu in a while! The staff were friendly and helpful, food and coffee came out in a reasonable time.
We had a great meal at Cafe Melbourne. Food, service, coffee and atmosphere were all 5 star.
Many gluten free and plant based options .
I definitely recommend this place.
The staff were friendly and rearranged the seating for our group when we came in. Ordered both cabinet and kitchen food which was all delicious. We ordered gluten free food, there was a great selection and the staff reassured us that it was safe for celiacs.
Very good food. Lots of spice options, mild for the kids and extra hot for a challenge. Lots of options for vegan, gluten free and dairy free. Very nice and fun music.
Couldn’t fault it. Had a special birthday lunch there. Food was superb, the staff were awesome and we loved the quirky atmosphere. 2 guests are coeliac and were well catered for. Will definitely be back!
Wow, so many gluten-free and/or vegan options for cakes, tarts and slices. Fresh, extremely tasty, large portions, friendly service. I'll definitely come back because I want to try more!!
Busy lunch place but absolutely loved the food and we were served in no time. I ordered the gluten free eggs bene with salmon and asked for sauce on the side. Define! Definitely recommend!
Great place for a brunch, lunch or afternoon tea. No cabinet food is a shame. But good coffe and a great variety of sweet treats gluten and otherwise. The kids playground is a huge plus for Mums. The shop next door is also great.
Just okay - nothing special. Food came out very fast but was under-dressed. Additional fee for gluten free, but it was the type of gluten-free bread that quickly turns to mush with any moisture.
After a work meeting in town I was looking for somewhere that offered gluten free options for lunch and Phat Pattie was there to help. Great range of burger options, all of which can be gluten free and the staff were super friendly. Great little outdoor setting and plenty of free parking. The picture doesn't do the burger justice, it was delicious. Freshly made and nice ingredients and the chips were perfectly salted. A great find and will be back again.
This was a great find on our trip to Whitianga. It presents really well from the outside, and the inside is beautiful, modern and clean. The coffee was a little stronger than we expected. We lived the food - pear and ginger gluten femmes muffin and boysenberry bread and butter pudding. Delish!
Lots of fresh food in the cabinet. Few gluten free options, would be nice to see some of the muffins or scones be gluten free as I was soo hungry. Watch out for the large coffee as it's actually huge and ends up very milky. Opt for the medium which is a standard large. Lots of seating within.
We took our young family out for our first restaurant meal together ever. Our table had been booked where requested (out of the way, in a booth so not to worry others) and we were greeted by staff. The wait staff were able to inform me of meals that could be adapted for dietary requirements, and they also gave the kids colouring sheets and crayons to keep them occupied. Despite my youngest getting up and spying on the kitchen staff, they still played along with her and gave her the attention she wanted 😅
The food was incredible, can highly recommend a gluten free pizza there. The base was really tasty which is hard to find. The kids meals were great too, had everything they wanted. Highly recommend going there for a family meal. Great prices too. Thanks for a really cool experience.
Super friendly knowledgeable staff, seperate fryer. Had my first gf crepes since going gluten free. Bare in mind some of the dishes are rather small especially if you take things out such as bacon. Will be back
Well, what a find. My wife had a hospital visit, and afterwards, we were looking for somewhere for lunch, and just opposite the clinic carport is a cafe called Bite. My wife is celiac, so we are often cautious, but this place is great. Very courteous staff. A great lunch menu and very good service.
Such a warm and welcoming restaurant. Great kids options and an entire menu worth of gluten free options made everyone feel like royalty. Entire family had a wonderful time.
A++++ would recommend
Lovely place to have a meal or just a snack. Atmosphere is great with very clean surroundings. Pleasant staff and understanding of your needs as I am Coeliac.
All in all a lovely place to entertain your friends or just to stop off for a coffee.
I came here not expecting to be able to eat much but the staff were very knowledgeable and lead me to order the miso mushrooms with cauliflower bread and crushed edamame which was delicious. This place has a super homely feel a lovely atmosphere. Just talk to the staff about your options
Fantastic Vietnamese eatery. Everything tasted fresh and was super flavourful. I especially recommend the lemongrass tofu, which was especially rich in flavour.
Almost everything on the menu is gluten and dairy friendly, and also plenty of vegetarian dishes on offer.
Great little Cafe with great atmosphere, I really like that every time I go and ask for gluten-free or get a gluten-free cabinet food, they ask if I'm celiac to prevent cross contamination.
10/10 service to the beautiful girls that served me last weekend at Lunas gelateria. If you’re looking for the perfect treat after dinner definitely head down to Lunas! They have the best variety of Gelato and Sorbets if your looking for something that is dairy free 😍 Also big thank you to the manger that pulled out a whole new tub of Sea Salt Caramel for my daughter who is coeliac 🩷 Will definitely be back!! Yous rock 🤟🏽🤟🏽
The breakfasts were delicious. Big hearty portions! The berry waffles were the best I've had! Espy breakfast was great, thanks for the gluten free toast request. Much appreciated. Iced coffee were huge and delicious too! Great place to eat, with quick service who were very friendly.
Celiac friendly
