Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Wellington City

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.

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Vuk Sekicki

Gluten free, onion garlic free, vegan, basically any variety of whole food plant based meal. No added nasty stuff. Feels great while and after eating. My favorite Welly place to eat!

Yummy vegan food with lots of gluten free options

Marc Torrey

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

Pilates Plus NZ

We had a fantastic brekkie here and highly recommend this wonderful spot. Great menu with several coeliac-friendly options. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive to detail. I had the hot smoked salmon eggs Benedict and loved the GF bread used as the base. I only like super-hard poached eggs and these guys cooked them perfectly. The coffee (Havana) is great and the room has a funky and relaxed vibe, with a great outlook over Lyall Bay beach and the airport. You can watch planes and ferries come and go while you relax! We got a GF lemon and blueberry cheesecake to take away for later - absolutely delicious. We will be back next time we’re in Wellington!

Jesse Drabble

Such a great staple of Wellington. Good coffee and some solid gluten free options. The staff are wonderful 🥰

Kelly Gray

Just enjoy being here, good menu. Only suggestion would be to add more gluten free and dairy free options

Otinel Meszaros

I had the big cook-up. It was great. I was hungry and it hit the spot. My wife is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free. She ordered the coconut salad and said it was great too. Nice view as well

Brett Reid

Never had Sri Lankan food before, but the flavours were delicious. Gluten free friendly. Informed and helpful staff. The tea sommelier was very knowledgeable. We went for Burger Wellington and would happily return for three-course menu.

Louise Bourne

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here, the vegan/gluten free vege filled pancake was absolutely delicious, and huge! Lovely staff/service. Will definitely be back.

John Litvin

Sally Stellini

Recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and took a cable car to view the beautiful gardens and on the way back we saw this restaurant as we were so hungry and decided to try it. I am so glad we did!!! I ordered the scotch fillett and asked for it to be gluten free with a cappuccino to be lactose free. The waiters/waitresses are all very lovely and ever so helpful. When the meal came out I was flabbergasted. It looked absolutely amazing. It was decorated with the most colourful and beautiful edible flowers and when I cut into it, it was like butter! The most tender and delicious steak I have ever had and it was on a stack of vegetables with roast potatoes and mushrooms. Compliments to the Chef! It was absolutely delightful! And the price was only $28.00 AMAZING!!! THIS REVIEW IS THE LEAST I COULD DO. Thank you so very much for making my trip more memorable. If I ever come back to New Zealand I will make sure I come and eat at your wonderful restaurant. Thanks again

Despite how busy the resturant was the service was friendly and fast. The food is excellent and plenty of option for vegetarians, vegans, dairy free and/or gluten free individuals. Strongly recommend enjoying a meal here.

Catherine Chapman

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, lovely views, good quality food and great value for $. Lots of delicious Gluten Free options, their GF bread is made in-house and is delicious. Inside can get quite cosy and warm when it’s busy, sitting outside is lovely if you want to soak in the views on a clear day, there are also blankets provided to keep you warm on the cooler days. Overall great experience, super friendly staff and fab quality food. Recommend the Avo on GF bread, the Laksa, bacon and eggs on toast, and all the GF cakes haha.

Rebecca Riley

Good coffee, best food. Always impressed by how many gluten-free & vegan options are available. If it's cake you're after, I recommend a visit on Thursday or Sunday. Possibly my imagination but the cakes seem even better than usual!

Annette Davison

Food here is made with love. Well thought out dishes that are layered with flavor. My only criticism is the gluten free bread from the supermarket. Not nice.

Luci McDougall

I could not recommend this place more! I am gluten free and allergic to sea food and all was accomodate too with ease! They were super lovely and understanding. Food was super delicious and the amount you were given was great. Super affordable and lovely staff!

Amy Jefferies

Amazing service today- such a nice lady Catered to all our dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, allergic to garlic and onion) Definitely recommend going for high tea- delicious array of food and a good amount too. Will be going back!

Renée Norman

Love the atmosphere of Ombra, started off with a prosecco and the most beautifully balanced heirloom tomato salad, they have a surprising amount of gluten free options (ones that make you feel you're not missing out!) love this for me.

Jack Cleland

Absolutely awesome burgers! The service was great and they were very accommodating to our gluten free requirements

A.J. Ponder

Amazing. My favourite Wellington cafe with a few great gluten free, dairy free options. The husband popped in for two slices of cake for my birthday and came home with this gorgeous wee lemon meringue cake.

Lyndon Baty

I had a delicious gluten free chicken yellow curry. My wife had a "good" lemongrass beef banh mi. The restaurant was noisy and busy. Staff and service was excellent. We would definitely eat here again.

WOW! After asking for a table for 6 and being told it would be at least 15 mins away, Zelda scurried away and made it happen much faster. As we were waiting we were reading the menu concerned the coeliac of the group wouldn’t be able to eat anything. But they other staff told us all but two meals could be accommodated for. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food, from the chicken salad through to the porridge. The vibes were chill, we enjoyed our catch up! Zelda was incredible and made us feel so welcome and helped us with the food allergies. And the coeliac can confirm that their house made sourdough is delicious 🧡 as were all the rest of our meals. I want to have a jar of the marshmallow squares and the candied walnuts 🤤

Veronica OGrady

Positive - the menu offered gluten free options and appreciated being able to eat safely as I am a celiac. Negative - for a beautiful Wellington day with women’s expo across at TSB and a cruise ship docked, the level of staffing was not right. Service was slow, with a rushed and harassed customer experience. Had to wait to be served, seated, order taken and food to be delivered. Even asking where our food was difficult because the server clearly thought everyone else waiting meant we shouldn’t query. She said she would go check but we never saw her again. For a simple order of two bowls of fried and cheesy bread and eggs on gf toast, it shouldn’t be a 30 min wait. Negative - our food eventually came out lukewarm. So it had been cooked but sitting somewhere waiting for a server to bring out. The chips looked amazing but barely warm. My eggs on gf toast was terrible. The gf toast was as hard as a rock and no butter on it. I feel ripped off that such a simple dish was served below average and not worth the money I spent on it. The outdoor seating area was messy with uncleared dishes and food waste on the ground. It wasn’t a welcoming place to eat and I’d be hesitant to take my family there again.

Daniel Fisher

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

Lois Kennard

Never disappointed. Great gluten frew options

Lauren H

Beautiful staff, really helpful & friendly. I've only grabbed food to go, but would love to make the time for a sit-down meal. I can recommend the cheesecake - good flavour & never too sweet. The pizza slices are very yummy & are available as single slices from the counter cabinet. They heat them for you. Today, I tried a toasted filled Foccacia & also a gluten-free brownie. Highly recommend 👌 Great hot chocolate as well.

Una O'Grady

I am a regular gluten free customer who sits eating their very late lunch with their cousin. I like this cafe. I fly in from Christchurch and I move in to the Aro St culture. Cafes, funky Op shop where you always buy something. The Aro St cafe has the best staff.

Morgan

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.

Rochelle

The food was superb! Awesome flavours and great range of varied menu options. Loads of vegetarian and gluten free options.

Kelly Gray

Was a nice time, only issue is some Gluten-free items were stored under gluten containing goods, and some next to gluten containing goods with no devider, even baking paper between is a win. Make me a bit nervous to eat The coffee was nice, not burnt Nothing to rave about, the staff were happy and looked to be enjoying their very busy day 🙂 Very reasonably priced

M. Lang

Went for lunch. I had free range eggs on toast with spinach and gluten free toast, quite pricey for it. See the picture. Salmon was not available when we were there. Pasta with lamb ragu was tasty and fair price. Well located in Cuba Street, busy at lunch time. Cakes at fair cost. Friendly staff.

Hayley Austin

Big selection of food and friendly staff. Food was good and ingredients were fresh. Takeout and delivery options available as well as gluten free and vegetarian. Inside of restaurant was massive so can definitely take big bookings.

Oberzocker 511

Cozy little coffee off Statehighway 1 shortly after Wellington. The coffee shares the same driveway than the plantshop. Has plenty of parking, Gluten-free options.Tasty food and coffee, friendly staff and fast service. Certainly worth the detour and worth it, reasonable prices too. Cheers

Robyn Wyllie

They had a lot of gluten free options and the gluten free pizza base was crispy and delicious. The food was also reasonably quick to come out. We enjoyed them so much that we returned the following night and the same lady recognised us and remembered we were gluten free.

Tara Willans

Great service, great food and large portions, clean restaurant and bathrooms. Good vegetarian and gluten free options. Busy but quick service and food. Would visit again.

AJ Williams

Coeliac safe, seperate fryer and prep area. Server was coeliac and said she love it there because they get it.

Melissa Wells

Fantastic coffee. Best coffee I’ve had in a long time. But it seems when you ask for the gluten free option, it means taking something away from the plate rather than actually having an option. So I had a lonely plate of eggs on toast with a little bit of salmon. I will say though that the salmon was delicious and the gluten free bread was top notch. But for the price, I expected a bit more to it. We were sitting outside due to all tables undercover being taken so unfortunately much of our food got cold before it arrived at our table. Not the fault of the restaurant at all but perhaps thick-cut fries could be something to consider? They’ll retain their heat better.

Briar Edmonds

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

Danielle Smith

Great spot. Friendly staff. My husband lived the muesli. Good smoothies and very helpful with coeliac diet. Recommended!

Leslie Fitt

I eat gluten free and had the lamb salad and it was awesome

Lynda Robertson

Mostly dairy free, gluten free choices and yummy
