Top 5 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Morningside

Rhondda Bell

Dropped in for coffee ahead of a big day. Seduced by a plate of food heading past on the hands of waitstaff, I decided to stay, Fill my tummy and get my head on straight. Only regret is not bringing the pup. Patient and accommodating staff. Just busy enough to ensure adequate people watching options for the bored, and just quiet enough to ensure a seat somewhere. Generous serves, fresh food, good coffee. Gluten free and dairy free options, 'of course'.

“It’s not just another coffee”. The sign above the door says it all. I love trying out a new cafe & discovering another favourite little gem! Eclipse is small but it’s everything your local cafe should be, committed owners who understand the value of great customer service & treating their customers like kings. I sense this is a family run business, which actually sets the positive tone, there is a very relaxed & friendly vibe to this small cafe. You are greeted warmly on arrival & farewelled on your exit, it’s not difficult to do, but it creates that all important point of difference. You have the option of still or chilled sparkling water which is located in big blue & red buckets in the alfresco dining area, another nice touch! The food was fresh, delicious, & plated beautifully. Their menu is small but it definitely covers all the “go to” favourites. They offer gluten free, no GM, plant based smoothies & vegan options. Do check out the “specials menu” white board, which is located to the right of the counter. But, it’s more than the food & coffee which made me select 5 stars, it’s their positive attitude, customer care & value which goes into the dining experience. I observed a regular customer ordering his takeaway coffee, his dog seemed very excited - it all made sense when the cafe owner grabbed a few dog treats from a large jar. Even the dogs love the special VIP customer treatment @ Eclipse!!

Wow 🌺 is the word when you enter this patisserie 💯💯💯It’s like entering a cake, patisserie fantasy world 🌎. I ordered the hazelnut cake gluten-free for my son. My son have asked me to drive all this way for this. I can see why. I ordered the mushroom 🍄 croissant. It was delicious 😋 and very delighted in every bite. Huge eating area and nicely presented outside the bakery. Parking just right in front of bakery. My ideal ❤️❤️❤️patisserie.
