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.

Best place for a gluten free treat

Auceane MORVAN

The gluten-free burger!!! Excellent and it's so nice to be able to eat a real gluten-free burger!!!

Ben Smith

Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.

Joanna Paul

Stopped for some tea and coffee but ended up ordering The Briscoff Dream which took longer than expected and yummy hot chocolate. Beautiful quotes across the cafe. Plenty of gluten free option available. Was a bit crowded and had to stand in line and worth it though.

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Jake Preston-Marshall

Brilliant place for coeliacs, but also for 'normal' people 🙂 Friendly, helpful staff, nice atmosphere and each dish exceeded our expectations!

Bronwyn Bassett-Smith

Unreal Gluten Free options, warm & inviting Baileys Hot Chocolate a stand out, Kat our waitress most helpful & super friendly

Rachel Takao

I almost never go into town, but I will more regularly to go to this cafe. I'm not on a plant-based diet, but that doesn't matter - their selection is huge, healthy and delicious, service excellent. (Also tons of gluten free options)

Sarah Capon

Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Daryll Edlin

I haven't had fish and chips takeaway since being diagnosed celiac. This was worth the wait. Highly recommended. 👍

Sarah Capon

As a coeliac and lactose intolerant person I was happy to find a place that was able to safely cater for breakfast and lunch! I didn’t love my breakfast, but I LOVED the chicken Vietnamese salad I had for lunch. Like it was the best lunch I had in my New Zealand travels. They are coeliac aware and take extra care with gluten free meals. Nice staff members and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed my coffee too!

MayaPlanas Family

Excellent and delicious Gluten Free menu (they can provide dairy free options as well). Very friendly staff. Environment is classic and relax. Would truly recommend.

Sarah Capon

Coeliac aware and great gf options! Loved the chicken sushi bowl! A bit hard to get a table in there because it’s so busy, but worth it. I didn’t really love the Vietnamese loaded fries, but I’d say that’s just my preference.

Sam Goodin

Avocado on toast was so good 👍 - gluten free is a bonus. Thanks guys

Petra Fleming

Amazing kai every time with excellent service. There have been numerous times I've ordered when they're closing and they are still happy to make my order. Great gluten free options that are coeliac friendly. Thanks so much for your excellent business!!

Sara Louise

A beautiful, cozy cafe! We had breakfast in the café and absolutely loved it. There are many vegan and vegetarian options. I had the granola and can recommend it to everyone. The taste is simply indescribably delicious! Plus fresh vegan yogurt and almond milk. Also fruit paste and fresh fruit included. There are plant-based milk alternatives to choose from. The food was really nice and carefully prepared. Therefore it tastes and looks great! Since we were so excited, we took our lunch to go with us: the vegan panini and a “vegan and gluten free peanut chocolate bar/cake”. I still dream about both of them now because they were so delicious! The panini had a delicious vegetable patty. The chocolate cake/bar was so creamy and delicious! If I had the opportunity, I would definitely be a regular customer of the café! Therefore a recommendation from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this great breakfast experience!

Shona Hickey

Great customer service - good wine selections and food well priced. A lot of Gluten free options and a bonus gf complementary shortbread with my coffee - that made me very happy.

Chauntelle Marr

Gluten free french toast

LJC 145

Perfect poached eggs, delicious breakfasts and amazing gluten free options for every dish and in the cabinet. What a gem.

Nicole Trayner-Smith

As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere

Aotearoa Surf Film Festival

Amazing gluten free options

Jess Schrieber

Great Jem in the heart of new Plymouth! Amazing customer service along with beautiful coffees and great food. Huge selection which caters to all food restrictions/preferences the waiters and chefs have great knowledge on all their meals and are always happy to help me with my food preference being keto along with a gluten intolerance and go out of their way everytime to serve a great meal that fits into this category along with being super tasty everytime. Thankyou !!

Antonio Hanna

They offer gluten-free food with excellent service and delicious, reasonably priced dishes.

Rebecca McFadzien

My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently. Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared. The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously. Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! We’ll definitely be back.

Martyna Soroka

Amazing place for breakfast! Delicious food and coffee, awesome service. You can buy there very nice local products, real fruit ice cream (also vegan), salads and pastry to take away. Many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options

Russell Paget

What a find Food awesome lots of choice amazing friendly and knowledgeable about menus Gluten free options and had oat milk so all good Would highly recommend this cafe Ten out of Ten for me

sam scott

Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac. Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot. Thank you

May Higgins

Pretty good gluten free toastie

Eileen Strock

The food and service were outstanding. The restaurant offered a great variety of options for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.

Deborah Smith

Great lunch and great gluten free options 👍

Cate McCallum

Food was amazing! I wish I'd remembered to take some photos. The only let down was service was a little slow- as in getting drinks initially and then the tables weren't cleared at all...but the food came out quickly and I'd go back again simply for the food options! 4 of us are coeliac and there were so many dishes that were either gluten free or could be modified for us 😍

Linda Grant

Great view and service, good sandwiches at lunchtime. The glutenfree hamburger bun was one of the best we've encountered. Celiac friendly, dedicated fryer.

Carol Digby

Great local Cafe, friendly staff, good coffee and great food choices including gluten free options

Rachel Waid

Absolutely delicious. Many gluten free options, I went with the grain salad that the barista recommended and it was absolutely delicious. Coffee is from a local roaster. It would for sure be a regular spot if I lived close!

Anna Holt

Went here after a ceremony, food was fast and extremely good! Extensive vegetarian and gluten free options and amazing service. Had a mix up with the orders and they replaced no questions asked and at no charge- absolutely incredible service. Well worth the money!

Lindsay Blackman

Fabulous food and people. Recommend you book first. Dairy free and gluten free options

Sarah S

Overpriced for small portions served with a side of attitude for free; rushed to order and felt unwelcoming and like we’d done something wrong before even speaking. Also says gluten free can be accommodated on a sign outside but when asked, we were told no (no further context or explanation) and felt like we couldn’t ask anything else.

Cat Matofa

Plenty of Gluten free cupboard options which i really appreciate as most cafes only offer if at all gluten free brownies from the cupboard. Decent coffee and friendly service will be back :)

Lorraine Maguire

If someone is giving out awards The Shelf should get one. Amazing food and great value. Fast service. Lots of gluten free choices that made me happy. Our go to cafe when we visit Auckland city.

Lori K.

Awesome service, good food and very accommodating for food allergies. Nice selection of Gluten free options. Our server, Tye and Chef Robin went above and beyond on great customer service. A nice welcome to New Zealand for us!

Grace Hessian

One of my absolute favourite spots for coffee, dinner, lunch, drinks. Good for vegans and gluten free and the most wonderful staff. I adore going in for a chat and they always are so welcoming! The sangria is great to share and the soup and hummus platter have the most amazing flavours and good for sharing!

Margaret Doyle

I had the most disgusting uber from jos garage. A piece of chicken and mashed potato. It was supposed to come with mushroom if I had not ordered the glutenis mushroom sauce there would not have been a mushroom in sight. I paid almost $30 for garbage you should be ashamed

carol parkinson

Took mokopuna for icecream sundaes & I had gluten free chocolate brownie which was delicious. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. Warm & friendly staff and atmosphere.

Margaret Crisp

Never been here before and I will certainly make this my Otaki café of choice. Amazing choice for gluten free folk, & eaters of all food! Outside eating was my favourite under the shade of the trees. Staff were attentive, delicious food was soon at our table.

victoria lahman

Went here for mums birthday lunch, everyone's food came out luke warm. My pizza was lacking flavour, it was the tofu one. It was very bland. The calamari my sister got the gluten free version and it was small for the price and lacking flavour. Mums seafood chowder was yummy but not hot and someone else got a cherizo breakfast special that was great value and yummy. They have a huge menu with heaps of gluten free options which is great. The waitress was lovely and very tentative to our table. Would probably go back but would ask for the meal to be hot and wouldn't get a gf pizza!

Tobias Bircumshaw

Gareth the waiter was absolutely wonderful, he really put us at ease in the environment and was amazing with my coeliac disease. The escargot was great! Thanks so much for a great night chefs and Gareth, you were great and deserve a hefty raise!

Sophie Sims

The most DELICIOUS sandwich I’ve ever had. I had the fish sandwich and it was so good. The staff were so lovely and I can’t believe how quickly they served our entire tour group. Also do gluten free which was great for my coeliac partner. His sandwich almost looked better than mine!
