Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!
I ordered from here via Uber eats last night. I've recently been diagnosed as celiac, so I can not eat anything with gluten, so I ordered their gluten-free pizza base. When the pizza arrived, it was freezing cold, and half of the entire crust was burnt to a crisp, and the crust was inedible. The pizza was disgusting and I paid an outrageous price ($36.19) for it with no refund. I never had a bad experience with their food before being diagnosed as celiac but this was extremely disappointing and disgusting, I will not be going back.
Good coffee, best food. Always impressed by how many gluten-free & vegan options are available.
If it's cake you're after, I recommend a visit on Thursday or Sunday. Possibly my imagination but the cakes seem even better than usual!
Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, lovely views, good quality food and great value for $. Lots of delicious Gluten Free options, their GF bread is made in-house and is delicious. Inside can get quite cosy and warm when it’s busy, sitting outside is lovely if you want to soak in the views on a clear day, there are also blankets provided to keep you warm on the cooler days. Overall great experience, super friendly staff and fab quality food. Recommend the Avo on GF bread, the Laksa, bacon and eggs on toast, and all the GF cakes haha.
Amazing service today- such a nice lady
Catered to all our dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, allergic to garlic and onion)
Definitely recommend going for high tea- delicious array of food and a good amount too.
Will be going back!
I am a regular gluten free customer who sits eating their very late lunch with their cousin. I like this cafe. I fly in from Christchurch and I move in to the Aro St culture. Cafes, funky Op shop where you always buy something. The Aro St cafe has the best staff.
Positive - the menu offered gluten free options and appreciated being able to eat safely as I am a celiac.
Negative - for a beautiful Wellington day with women’s expo across at TSB and a cruise ship docked, the level of staffing was not right. Service was slow, with a rushed and harassed customer experience. Had to wait to be served, seated, order taken and food to be delivered. Even asking where our food was difficult because the server clearly thought everyone else waiting meant we shouldn’t query. She said she would go check but we never saw her again. For a simple order of two bowls of fried and cheesy bread and eggs on gf toast, it shouldn’t be a 30 min wait.
Negative - our food eventually came out lukewarm. So it had been cooked but sitting somewhere waiting for a server to bring out. The chips looked amazing but barely warm. My eggs on gf toast was terrible. The gf toast was as hard as a rock and no butter on it. I feel ripped off that such a simple dish was served below average and not worth the money I spent on it.
The outdoor seating area was messy with uncleared dishes and food waste on the ground. It wasn’t a welcoming place to eat and I’d be hesitant to take my family there again.
Cozy little coffee off Statehighway 1 shortly after Wellington. The coffee shares the same driveway than the plantshop. Has plenty of parking, Gluten-free options.Tasty food and coffee, friendly staff and fast service.
Certainly worth the detour and worth it, reasonable prices too.
Cheers
Was a nice time, only issue is some Gluten-free items were stored under gluten containing goods, and some next to gluten containing goods with no devider, even baking paper between is a win. Make me a bit nervous to eat
The coffee was nice, not burnt
Nothing to rave about, the staff were happy and looked to be enjoying their very busy day 🙂
Very reasonably priced
Great range of options, including lots of gluten free. Lovely being able to be outside (in the right weather) and service is prompt and thoughtful (kids food delivered first). Good coffee. Open for a good range of times, but probably best to book at peak times.
Came in for Sunday brunch.
I had the avocado and tomato bagel gluten free, and my partner had the pastrami benedict.
The food took quite a while to come out. I respect that it was busy.
The gluten free option for the bagel was GF loaf, and it was good - what you’d expect for avocado on toast.
My partners pastrami benedict was tasty, but the eggs were very overdone for a poached egg (see image below).
Not a bad spot, but if you’re in a rush to get on with your busy day, I would go elsewhere. But for a solid feed on a chill day, this isn’t a bad option.
Lovely people and fantastic food. The ribs were huge and delicious. Smoky and tender but still with a bit of bite which is my preference. BBQ sauce wasn’t too sweet either and gripped to the ribs well. The pickle dip was a great side to have with it. Lots of gluten free and even veggie options. Highly recommend ☺️

First time here and really enjoyed it. We came I for a quick bite, which turned into pizza, beer, and a game of jenga! There was a really good selection of beers, and the music and atmosphere was good. There was a good selection of pizza too, and liked that they could all be done gluten free. However, I did think that there were limited side options, which seemed odd as there was an option to have a choice of 3 sides for a fixed rate. We enjoyed our pizza, but it did come with extra toppings which we'd asked not to have. There was also no half-and-half option for pizza. Despite this, I would be happy to go there again!
You must try here, the food was delicious with a very generous portions. I loved that there was goat on the menu, but lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well. The momos are a must try. There were also many gluten-free options.
You order your food on a tablet that the service staff gave you, this won’t be for everyone, but I adored it, I love winter is used and the right way.
