Top 4 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Explore in New Zealand

Katrina Anderson

Amazing food! Best bakery/ cafe for gluten free food. Huge selection to pick from and the staff are so friendly! The tiramisu cookie pie is hands down the best gluten free option I’ve ever had.

I was there an hour 40mins ago and bought brownie cheesecake slice and a Mince & Cheese pie which they heated up from cold for me, made today apparently. Together they cost me $17.50!! There are no prices displayed so if you're going here expecting to be satisfied on a typical NZ bakery budget then think again, the gluten free premium is rife here. Do note the lack of stars on this review reflects only on the pie of which I'm disappointed, I am half way through the pie now and I still haven't tasted the filling. For what I'm guessing is a $9 pie it's not up to par compared to much better pies in the Wellington region that are cheaper and packed to the brim with filling. Speaking of which I've gotten to the filling at last and it tastes great but still no sign of cheese. Upon finishing the pie now my conclusion is there's less than 1 teaspoon of cheese in this pie. Sorry guys but my experience of a most basic pie is lacklustre. Unlikely this review will directly affect your high rating but pie wanters should know what to expect.

I walked in and it really is the dream for a gluten free person. I highly recommend taking a look if your gluten free

Courtney Radmall

My family and I came here for breakfast and loved it. It is almost 100% gluten free excited for the whey oats they use in their porridge. It is all plant based so I thought my young kids might not like it but everything we ordered we all devoured. Perfect breakfast place for celiacs.

Lyn Lealand

Packed house Awesome cabinet displayed with the most amazing food. Beautifully presented . Loads of gluten free options . Coeliac friendly. Great place to be on a wet cold day

Alice Peters

Best gluten free pizzas in the whole of Hawkes Bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent food and atmosphere even aside from that <3

Fern Harpham

RUN! DO NOT WALK to this amazing cosy, delicious, gluten free delightful wonderful perfect place that is now my happy place. Taste has not been sacrificed for celiac and allergen friendly food and my only complaint is that I can't get more as I don't live in the area. RUN!

Chelsea Louise

🫶 gf scones and cakes so good , usually very careful and aware of cross contamination

Olivia C

Gluten free bagels

Kristina Russell

Absolutely delicious gluten free steak and brandy pie. It’s a few weeks since we ate there, and I’m still dreaming about it. The gf are much smaller than the regular pies, but definitely not lacking in flavour.

Latecia Haora

I am in love!! I'm normally a picky person when it comes to pies. But Bella pane? Blew my mind! I love the mince and cheese pie that has this nice flavor in the mince. It's not jelly which I was happy. And then there is brisket, butter chicken, corn beef and so on. They also have some tasty sandwich too! Gluten free options and so on. It's so hard to decide honestly. All of them smell so good and looks tasty. People there are super friendly ☺️☺️

Amanda Gould

Terrible, has changed owners, nothing gluten free

Awesome cakes. Gluten free carrot outstanding. So helpful. And they have delicious cabinet items too. Yum! Definitely 💯

Friendly, relaxed, and excellent gluten free selection. The cheese, bacon and jalapeño scone was yum! Highly recommended

Casey Bowden

A member of our group was coeliac and appreciated the range of gluten free options. We couldn't tell that there were gluten free options before we went to order and it would have been nice if they were better indicated. Staff friendly. Appreciated the variety of local art on display as we recognized one of the artists.

Laura Fallon

Incredible first time experience. Food and service was absolutely top notch!! The care and attention taken for myself being a gluten-free eater was so awesome and hugely appreciated. Thanks so much for the fantastic evening.

Jen Woollard

Anna made two cakes for our wedding. One was a two tiered cake with two flavours and the other was gluten-free and vegan. Both cakes were absolutely delicious and everyone loved them. Working with Anna was easy and communication was great. I can't recommend her more, especially if you have allergen requirements. Photos in this review were taken by Robin + Andie

I had organised a custom cake for my girlfriend’s 30th birthday a couple of weeks prior to her party (cake was based on a cake from her favourite show-she was super excited!) and called the day of pickup (1/3) to confirm pick up time. I was told the cake wasn’t out on the board to make that day and it hadn’t been made. The gentleman who answered the phone (Cam?) was apologetic and asked me to call back while they find my order details. I called back and they didn’t have anyone who could pipe the cake so he was trying to organise someone to do it for me. An hour or so later I got a call back and they were still trying to organise someone. Later on I got a text that the cake wouldn’t be able to be done at all. I was absolutely gutted. The cake was supposed to be the centrepiece and my girlfriend and I were really excited about it. By this time it was too late to organise a replacement (especially because it was gluten free) so there was no cake at her birthday party. I understand this was an accident and I know the gentleman I spoke to tried his best to get it organised for me which I’m very thankful for, and up until then the service and email communication between Izzy and I was great and they were very accommodating to my requests but it was a complete disaster on the day. I was extremely stressed and embarrassed that there was no cake and it was really disappointing. Still no refund as of today (4/3). Won’t be back.

Bianca Vitale

Good Gluten free food options, they aren't 100% coeliac safe so bare that in mind but the staff are awesome and do double check with you first

Remy Goldberg (Moonablaze)

Very disappointed the gluten free bread is no longer safe (made in the same kitchen after other gluten products are made) and there are no other gluten free options on the menu.

Dianne Haswell

Lovely coffee and Gluten Free Friand. Good service with a smile 😊

Suzanne Race

We would highly recommend Brinkel's Cake Art. We ordered a cake for our wedding & it was just beautiful. We had 5 coeliac's including myself at the wedding, so we needed it to be gluten free. We chose two different flavours & they were both delicious. Our friends are still commenting to us about how beautiful the cake was. Tom was fantastic to deal with, nothing was a problem. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone & we definitely be ordering more cakes in the future!

Veronica Levén

Great food, great selections for gluten free people and very helpful and friendly staff.

Sheryl Leonard-Schlitter

The best gluten free bread on the market. I purchase the frozen sliced bread. It separates well from frozen & is delicious 😋🤤
