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.

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.

Emma Rose Gardiner

Gluten free pies are worth the drive Real ingredients and really delicious

Alexandra Sanson

Had a delicious brunch here when staying in Wellington. I'm gluten free and items were clearly marked on the menu, there was plenty to choose from. Service was very friendly and food was quick. Good value for money in my opinion as the servings were generous.

Caitlyn Phillips

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

Kathrine Rice (Kate)

A dedicated gluten free cafe serving delicious food. Great options to choose from. Fig ice-cream also available & their is a sales area full of fig produce.

Kathryn Gilbert

Great selection of GF.

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.

Dawn B

Amazing place me and my family are celiac and it’s the best gluten free pizza we’ve ever eaten. Fantastic variety almost everything has a gluten free option and very high quality worth every penny :)

Sarah Capon

I was recommended to go here as a coeliac and wasn’t expecting a buffet style eatery - the food was okay.I went there twice and the first time the hot cabinet had only GF trays of food (which made me comfortable), but then the next day I came for breakfast and they did have one non-gf tray in the same cabinet. This made me uneasy, especially as the tray was the second row in, meaning the spoonfuls of food would have to travel over other gf trays and potentially contaminate them.

We ordered a cake online for a work farewell. The person leaving is gluten free, so when using the website we selected "cakes", then "gluten free". 30 options came up. We chose a naked cake, selected the size and paid. On picking up the cake today we discovered it was not gluten free at all. We then had to buy additional cupcakes which were gluten free for our team mate. I'm sure the cake will taste great, but just a warning for others to take your time when ordering and include in the notes section that you need a gluten free option.

Sarah Roberts

Good old Ferburger. Can't miss it when you go to Queenstown. Service is super quick and has gluten free options.

Andrew H.

Amazingly quick service. Gluten free options.. delicious!

Lyn Herriot

Wonderful gluten free options So many to choose from

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Adam Broster

Great coffee and amazing makes goods…vegan, keto and gluten free options are available!!

Jake Preston-Marshall

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

Paul and Lorraine O'Brien

Had a morning business meeting and Hello Stranger staff were so accommodating, helped me join tables together and added a bit of banter which was well received. We went here due to the reviews on catering for Coeliac’s, I was very impressed with the range of Food and that they had separate kitchen areas to prep Gluten Free food for Coeliac’s I felt very at ease and safe to eat here due to the knowledge of all the staff. Food was great

Bronwyn Bassett-Smith

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

Paul Broatch

Great selection of gluten free food

Patrizia Bordignon

Very popular place. It was just on the outskirts of the main city area, within comfortable walking distance. Being gluten free I was impressed with the offerings available to me. Lovely vibes. Highly recommend.

Alice Peters

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

Jesse Bryan

Excellent vegan and gluten free options :)

Debbie Maher

Love this vegan cafe that you wouldn't even know if you walked off the street as the food is so tasty! Great having some gluten free options too, perfect for my dietary requirements without sacrificing flavour and freshness. Helpful, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Will return!

Marlena

So, so happy to have discovered the cozy corner cafe. We're not locals but will definitely be coming back anytime we're in Taupo. This place is a gem and a rare find! Most cafes offer gluten-free, vegan etc as one or two options on their menu as an added consideration for those with dietary requirements. This place caters to virtually every dietary requirement as the basis of their menu, whilst still offering what you'd expect from any cafe. The food is delicious, as well as great coffee. Super highly recommended! I wish there were more cafes around like this

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!

Rachel Andersen

Loved it. Delicious gluten free, dairy free and soy free meals.

Nicci Thomson

The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(

Andrew Tan

They have excellent GF muffins. The place is really quaint. Staff were friendly and on to it regarding celiac issues. Great!

Carrie Jahn Rohrbach

We stopped into this punk cafe after a movie and were delighted that it was still open and had gluten free options. Seems like a great place to just hang out and enjoy the vibes of the city!

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!

Victoria

Love coming here - which I do often! The food is delish and there are so many gluten free options which is fantastic for me as a Coeliac. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere too.

Thomas Hendricks

Incredibly well-managed and very good service at a locally-owned restaurant that truly knows their stuff with keto, coeliac-safe, low FODMAP and other nutritional needs. In two years of living locally and eating here monthly or at least quarterly, we’ve never had a problem with an order nor a bad experience.

Sam Goodin

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

Stephanie Roughton

Amazing gluten free scones - chive, garlic and cheese. They were beautiful and the coffee was great.

Keiron Adlington

Have been here before and enjoyed the experience so thought we’d give it another go. Smashed Avocado Bagel (with Salmon as an add-on) was generous and the salmon portion very generous. Bagel was very tough to cut with a knife though but maybe being gluten free had something to do with that? Very tasty though. We also had the Poke Bowl which was underwhelming. Not the traditional bowl at all, as it was on a plate. No sign of coriander in the rice, no kewpie mayo, no crispy shallots and no sweet chilli (all were advertised on the menu). Pretty disappointing for $32.90 and our two meals and bottled juice made it an $80 lunch.

Angelica Jones

I absolutely love this place, I feel like I'm In Japan again with the serenity and lovely customer service. The food is so tasty and fresh and so well priced!!! I absolutely love the onigiris and the sweet food they have in their cabinet (mostly all vegan and gluten free which is a bonus!!). If you have dietary restrictions this is definitely the place to try, especially if you like japanese cuisine. All the drinks are organic and better yet there are so many non caffeine drinks, sesame latte is my favorite!! A little bit nutty and smooth!! I absolutely love the cinnamon banana bread, the best vegan gf one I've ever had! Janken is a must try, especially if you want to come to a peaceful atmosphere filled with joy!!

Dave E

Gluten free options!! Great wee find in the city. Heaps of gluten free options available, both on the menu and the cabinet food. Very friendly staff and a cool vibe/atmosphere. Highly recommend. Cheers

Megan Spoerndle

Very friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks, nice sandwiches and pastries. Vegan and gluten free options

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

Rebecca Greenslade

Epic gluten free and vegetarian pizza with heaps of toppings. So good, thanks guys!

Tarax Goat (TaraxGoat)

Always great cheap plant based gluten free food.

April van Es

The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

Stewart Wilson

If you're in Christchurch, Doubles is an absolute must-visit! Hands down, the best café in the city. The selection of gluten-free options is incredible — it’s not just a couple of items; it’s a whole range of delicious choices that cater to every craving. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a sweet treat, they've got it all, and it’s insanely amazing. If you’re a foodie or just someone who appreciates incredible coffee and mouthwatering meals, Doubles Cafe is the spot. I can’t recommend it enough. Every visit is a treat! Yum doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Blake Dobbin

We were greeted with smiles and welcomed. We ordered breakfast and my partner is celiac, we asked for gf bread and the lovely lady instantly asked if she was celiac, so that was amazing. We sat down and it felt like we had only just planted out bums on the seats and our amazing iced coffees and chocolates came and very shortly after our yummy breakfast was on our table. Yummy food, really reasonable prices and fast! Very impressed. We love trying new cafes here in waihi when we visit and super happy we got the opportunity to try the food! Highly recommend showing love to this business.

Issy Barron

Enjoyed the service & gluten free food as allergic to wheat additive folate acid. Taupo needs more awareness of dietary needs & you've got it. Loved the hippy type atmosphere too 👌.

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!
