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 ?

Great coffee, the open steak sandwich was amazing! The potato roastie was definitely to come back for! Great flavors on such a simple dish. The table next to me had the smash avo on !in house made bread! I'm pretty sure it was gluten free and keto 👌 and strawberry matcha looked like a coctail 🤩 very friendly staff 👌 May have walked away with a macadamia and( "something,caramilk?🤷🏼‍♀️") slice 🤫 (no regrets 😋) Everything in the cabinet looked so good,so technically that's a win 😉

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!

Just a PSA for those with celiac disease. The GF is short for Gluten Friendly not Gluten Free. Never heard of Gluten Friendly so didn't spot this until we got there but it essentially means you can eat it if you have a mild intolerance but nothing more. Only the salads are suitable for people who are celiac so a pretty stink dinner, and we were told the noodles would be replaced but they were just removed so pretty much chicken and leaves. Feel like the servers were doing their best though and we're very apologetic so gave service a 4

Service was good as was the food. But the bathroom was disgusting. It was a mess and there was no hand soap, plus the staff weren't busy so no excuses there. The gluten free buns were better than expected/we're used to which was nice.

I love the setup of the restaurant and the decor. The food was succulent, flavoursome and hearty! The portion sizes are huge so your in for a good feed. The pricing is higher than most burger joints but it is so worth it - a flavour sensation. The menu suits all! From gluten free, dairy free and a great selection of delicious vege/vegan options. Come on down and give it a try. You will not regret.

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

This place used to be awesome, the young man that worked Friday's made beautiful food...my last 2 orders have fallen terribly short. Today's was the upmost failure, order was incorrect to what I ordered online, then the staff member a tall thin girl argued with me over it being correct. I was going to show her my order confirmation email and what that said but she just said our manager isn't here...like you can't fix it?? Really?? Then I tried again to show her my email and she just walked off...I waited, now my chips are cold and we're overcooked FYI, I'm late for where I need to be and I've got a burger in a gluten free bun so stale I couldn't bite into it with only one slice of tomato the size of a 50c and bacon that was also burnt... disgusting. I gave up and walked out with my incorrect cold order. Not coming back here again and would NOT RECOMMEND anyone bothers with bad service and high prices for sadly bad food. Sad loss...you guys seriously need to pick up your game

BK tokoroa was awesome. They managed to get a very tricky gluten free bunless order for my wife done right, and my order was perfect. Drinks were great first thing in the morning, which is far too difficult at BK Wellington airport to get sorted. What can I say other than I'll make sure to head there next road trip, as they're really good.

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!
