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

Only ubered from here and got the bubble and squeak being gluten free. First time meat portion wasn't quite right poached eggs slightly over cooked and hollandaise was lacking and got a gut ache afterwards. They responded with a Voucher to order again this time meat portion seemed better eggs were perfect onion however was chunky and not fully cooked hollandaise same issue already feel my stomach turning so not sure if that's related to this food specifically having gluten or just something else new setting me off 🀣 the fact they seemed to have taken some constructive criticism on board and improved is much more then most do and the lack of sauce I suspect could be easily remedied if you actually ordered at the restaurant. As dumb as this might sound what is the packaging made of the food comes in ?

Fat Kiwi never disappoints...food is excellent as is the service! They have a large variety of food choices, including gluten-free and vegan, I had an iced chocolate this visit, which is made properly, not just with chocolate milk! The worst part about dining here is that sometimes there aren't enough seats!

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.

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!

The food was sick! Had the beef double cheeseburger and it was seriously the best burger I have ever had and very fulling. A bit pricey but I would definitely pay to have that again. I gave this a 4 star because there was only one little problem, just the language barrier with the young man that served us so we got gluten free burger instead of no gherkins. Still amazing place to stop and eat

Mothers day lunch was delicious! The Cafe was busy but we didn't feel cramped! Very Spacious! A full cabinet of pies and treats. I chose the sugar waffle off the menu. I was not disappointed! Will visit again. Gluten free steak sandwich was brilliant! Kids cheese burger was huge, and tasty!! Happy family members all round. We've since lunched there several times! Delicious food every time!
