Top 31 Gluten-Free Spots for Bread Lovers in Wellington

Reuben FillMyGobbs

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.

Wonderful gluten free options So many to choose from

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.

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Roger WADDELL

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

Kendall Lattin

My local cafe and possibly my favourite cafe ever. As a celiac they have an amazing range of gluten free options. The food and coffee are delicious and the staff are amazing and so friendly. It also feels like a really welcoming place to bring my kids; they have a box of toys and coloring in to offer. I go there often and can't recommend this place enough!

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.

Daniel Fisher

Menu has changed with less gluten free/dairy free options.

Lovely pub and great pub quiz. Also they stock gluten free beer 🥳

My food was lovely and delicious. The Spanish waiter was very friendly and provided great service. However, our experience was concerning and I am giving a one star. My sister is gluten free. She ordered the gnocchi which says gluten free on the dinner menu. We understand you cannot cater to coeliacs, but it very clearly stated gluten free and not 'on request' or anything. After fully consuming the meal, paying and reading the receipt, it said 'Main gnocchi- NOT GF' in capitals like that. We went back in and the staff member (girl with reddish hair and glasses) mentioned that they had run out of gluten free pasta and were only serving gluten pasta. This is very concerning as we were not told by any staff member. She handled it very badly, no apology at all. She blamed us as we didn't tell them we needed it gluten free. However, we were comfortable and had peace of mind with what the menu so clearly stated. She also said "it's not like she's going to die" instead of at least apologising (please train the girl in customer service skills because that was pretty mean, insensitive and ignorant). We understand you don't want to reprint all the menus until the GF pasta is back, but you need to inform anyone who is ordering that meal, for safety. Please please train your staff better, especially on menu knowledge. They need more attention to detail. I work in hospitality myself and something like this can be easily avoided. If you're changing ingredients, inform all your staff and teach them to tell all customers upon arrival. This is super important. I am surprised even the chefs didn't confirm with the staff. Overall, very concerning as my sister may get sick now. I have attached screenshots of what it says on the menu.

Lovely, fresh, healthy meals. And they cater for gluten-free, which is necessary for me. Love the different sauces. And most people rave about the delicious biscuits that I bought for them. Prices are reasonable. The shop is clean and well kept. The ladies are very professional and make the food precisely and neatly. Super experiences.

Megan Ross

One of the only places we trust and can go to as coeliacs. There are options and the staff are very understanding and helpful.

Briar Edmonds

Good bagels and they have a gluten free option which is good!

William Bennett

Excellent gluten-free Fish and Chips. Thank you to everyone involved.

Tracy Lancaster

Average menu if you’re gluten free and totally inflexible on offering alternatives. Wouldn’t return.

AJ Williams

I've had a descent experience here before but was a bit averages this time. Service: Server didn't know what coeliac means. Everyone that ordered chips was up looking for tomato sauce. Servers blasting spray cleaner everywhere but not really wiping the tables. Food: $2 upcharge for aoili on a small $28 burger. No presentation. Coffee is incredibly strong tasting, great if that is your thing I suppose. Server plopped the coffee a down and left us to figure out which was Americano and which was long black Atmosphere: place is loud. The cold wind from the door leading outside was unpleasant. Tables was cramped for 2 people and was set with 4 chairs.

Chenin Madden

Amazing gluten free toast and detox smoothie 😋

Kelly Gray

Love the food. Coeliac friendly, highly recommend the loaded fries with chicken. Only marking down because the music can be a tad loud

Steph Chalmers

Best frozen margis and tacos in Wellington. Heaps of gluten free options

Anna Kropp

We had lunch here with three kids. I had asked earlier about gluten free options for our celiac kid and we were confident. When the food arrived, the waitress checked again and realised that the toast was not the GF bread. She apologised, took it back in and came back with a complete new meal. Contamination is taken seriously and we were happy! Thank you for catering for celiac and being so attentive! The food was AWESOME!

Evan Rayner

Fantastic selection of Gelato. Had a lot of choices even when making sure they were Gluten free and Dairy free. Just what I needed on a hot Wairarapa day.

Andrew McPherson

Fairly fast service and friendly staff. Finally they have gluten free wraps, a new menu with rye bread replacing honeyoat, and mozzarella and feta cheeses. I love that hot chilli is finally habenero sauce.

D P

Excellent experience with gluten-free and regular menu options. The gluten-free options are always carefully prepared which is very much appreciated by this very sensitive coeliac! AA++

Cool spot, friendly staff, delicious food, dog friendly, gluten free options

Critically Coeliac

A solid Italian restaurant oozing with style. Nestled in Midland Park, Astoria greets you with a moody space filled with the smells of bread, olive oil, and matured cheeses. The waiters are warm and attentive. You will never feel rushed or forgotten and no ask feels out of place. The menu has plenty of gluten free options, many of which can be adapted. For example the linguini pawns were served with gluten free penne. However, Astoria cannot guarantee dishes are safe for coeliacs. Unfortunately fresh bread is prepared in a shared cooking environment. The wait staff will ask you if you are coeliac as you place your order. The food is a modern interpretation of classic Italian flavours. In particular, we would recommend the burrata and beef cheek ragu.The burrata was fresh, delicate, and soft, while the ragu has a strong umami flavour. The drinks menu will appeal to a wide variety of taste buds, preferences, and ages. You will also find a range of Italian drinks and sprits like the Camperchi Chianti Riserva and Limoncello spritz. Overall Astoria is a good restaurant. However the menu, although varied, lacks the flare to really wow. It is also a shame that the dishes aren't safe for coeliacs and the only pasta alternative is penne. A fundamental aspect of Italian cuisine is pasta variety which is flattered by only one option for all. _ _ _ * Critically Coeliac - reviews to die for * Whether a tasty treat or something more intimate, we are passionate about helping coeliacs find amazing restaurants.
