Top 3 Gluten-Free Cafes to Enjoy in North Shore, Auckland

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.

I was in town with family for a couple of days, we discovered Honey Cafe the first morning and ended up returning the next morning because it was so delicious! The mince & toast was the nicest I've ever had (so good I had it twice)🤤 I had gluten free toast and was impressed it wasn't the usual vogels but thick wedges. My sister had the classic (salmon) bagel GF both days as well, others in the party had French toast and creamy mushrooms...we were all delighted with our meals. Service was great and atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and drinks. Nice vibe. Very friendly staff. Food is very healthy, all freshly made and so yummie. They are vegetarian but lots of their dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. As far as I saw there are also many glutenfree options. I hope I can visit again sometime.

Ok I’ve passed this place 1,000s of times but have never eaten here. Man I’ve been sleeping because it’s sooo delicious. I ordered the fried chicken poke bowl that was already gluten free, because I cannot pass up on gluten free fried chicken. UGH this was delicious. The sweet sauce they had on it, the half avo, the generous ginger, the chicken was crunchy. Could’ve had more rice, but overall, so delicious. We sat outside in the sun which was lovely, and sheltered from the wind. My daughter enjoyed the little playground down below. We also ordered fries on the side that were crunchy and delicious. Cabinet food also looked good - mainly sweet stuff and a lovely Carmel gluten free slice. But I was too full to order it. Would come again 10/10.

I was a bit stressed having to get some good take away gluten free food for my son in law. They were so busy and I went to walk out. I was encouraged to check the second menue and to do an order it would be like a 10 minute wait. Great service. I was also given a glass of water. Back to day for the same but 2 of them.

The Lobster

Had the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had from here. The best coffee and hot chocolate too! They cater for Coeliac Disease.

Gorgeous cupcakes. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, tasty balanced flavours and moist fresh cakes. Gluten and Dairy free options available in more than one flavour!! Two sizes of cupcake available as well as a small range of cookies and cake pops. Wonderful and well worth a visit. The only shame is if the seat inside is taken the outdoor seating area is not as lovely as the cakes deserve so be prepared to relocate or take home.

Fleur

Stopped in for morning tea and it was absolutely delicious! My mum and Nana enjoyed the gluten free muffins and I have found a place that does the most tasty delectable vegan cookies from Vegan Treatory. Will definitely come back again!!!

Erin Rivers

Lovely and attentive staff. Really obliging with gluten free options and bringing me a little plate of limes when they saw me eating the limes out of other people’s glasses 😅

Colin

Amazing experience since our last visit 8 years ago with friendly experienced staff and amazing choice of gluten free meals. We went x2 in 2 days it was that good!!!!

The Lobster

Great food, nice atmosphere, staff are nice. Very attentive towards those with Celiac disease and was able to cater for it.

Aaron Parke

Love this place nice little bakery, love the selection of vegan and gluten free alternatives, also confirmed that they do have the best cheese scones I have ever had.

Sophie Hodge

They have gluten free bread so there are several of breakfast options available with toast. Each cup of coffee comes with a little bit of cake and they even brought me a tiny bit of gf cake with my coffee! Such a nice touch. Staff were so friendly. Would love to come back!

Natasha Telles

The food was excellent, the coffee and service quite disappointing though- I was after a gluten free breakfast option ( from the counter)- the person serving me didn't even crack a smile, looked exasperated when I took my time as they have written all the menu on glass which makes it hard to match the writing to the product. She rattled off the gluten free options and when I asked her if any of them were savoury- she said no none ! I ordered a sweet option only to see two savoury optinos while I was waiting which was annoying. Highly recommend the food but maybe have a chat with the staff on customer service.

Cherie Campion

This place is a gem! Hidden away in Milford. Absolutely 💯 yum eggs bene. Cater for gluten free well. So good!!

Monique Harding

Superstar service that was quick and attentive. Kai was delicious and catered well for children and dairy/gluten free person with us. We took a chance and turned up without a booking and got a table immediately but would still highly recommend booking ahead as it can be very busy. Look forward to going back and including a tour at the same time.

Aaron Cooper

Yummy healthy and gluten Free options

Alyssa Walker

Such a cute, clean and cool place with amazing service, though it wasn't that busy when mum and I went. Also has outdoor seating and quick cabinet food for on the go. I got mince on sourdough (gluten free) and the bread was so thick with the incredibly scrumptious mince flavor - I couldn't stop eating it! Mum loved her food and mentioned before ordering that there were so many options especially gluten free that we will be fine with whatever we wanted to order ordered. Definitely would come back!!

Lynnette New

Great food as well as coffee. Good variety of gluten free options too. All cabinet food is homemade and good sized portions. Yum!!

Desmond Pescos

Despite the gluten free menu shown on their website, it is now out of date and very few options are gluten free (pink menu pictured is what's actually there, not what's on website). Visited April 12 2025 and several food options on menu just not available. Staff are trying hard but just nowhere near enough of them to cope. Chicken was burnt on outside, pink on the inside and dangerous to eat - the staff refunded the meal without fuss but I recommend you cut into your chicken and check before eating. No glasses or water jugs available (insufficient dish staff, I suspect) so we made do with what looked like jam jars to drink from.

Laurence Ramsay

We’re looking for a place that would suit my wife who is coeliac, and this was spot on. Great menu and great cocktails and they looked after my wife so well. Perfect ending to our time in Aotearoa.

Kate Jordan

Awesome range of gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options. Gluten free French toast! Hard to find these days

Amy Arthurs

Delicious food with dairy free, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options! Beautiful coffee too. I am pleased and will be coming back. Thanks Willow

Karen Searle

Finally a Cafe that caters for allergies! Specifically for me, most of the menu could be catered as gluten free and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was varied, not just the normal Cafe staples which was so refreshing and the staff were lovely. A lovely lunch on my last day in New Zealand. One happy tourist and if I were a local I'd be a regular. 😁

Emma Boyd

OK I need to start with the positive. The venue was clean and welcoming and seats were available on a Saturday morning at 11am. The wait staff were super attentive and helpful. The reason I say it's only OK, is that as a person whom is food intolerant there were no easily visible options on the menu ie Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten or Dairy Free. Sorry guys I did expect the suburb of Devonport to be a bit more on to it. Having said that they altered my choosen meal to adapt, but Eggs Benedict is not the same without the sauce!!

Tom Power

Good coffee, excellent hot chocolate. I've had several things on the menu now and it's all been delicious and the service is a consistently high standard. The gluten free brownie is a bit of a mission but is goooood.

Georgina Compton

Great service and delicious food. I’ve been grabbing their frozen meals for years. I love how there are loads of gluten free options and that they don’t add sugar to their matcha lattés. Try the chipotle pork bap (not gluten free). My 12 year old loved it.

Sarah Reed

Great food, loads of options for the gluten intolerant. Worth a visit!

Tom Heijs

Gluten free options available. The home made rosti was great!

Keshav Chandran

Came for weekday brunch, was peaceful with fast service. Lovely coffee. Food was delicious, we ordered the Spiced Kumura and Huevos, and would order them again. Also has wifi, and decent gluten free options.

Lisa Samuels

Lovely gluten free muffins, lots of other regular baked sweets choices, small range of yummy looking wraps and salads, good selections of juices and coffee styles and the macchiato not swamped by its foam. Fairly dire placement among car dealerships and boxy shops, but maybe that's how it thrives: local support.

Geoff Blampied

Fabulous location that has fabulous gluten free food served by lovely people.

Yvonne Culbreath

A lovely place to meet and catch up with friends. Gluten free options available. Reserved a table for five. Fresh wholesome menu. Coffee amazing. The staff are very friendly ensuring customer requests are a priority.

Ellie T

I purchased a gluten-free blueberry chocolate muffin today. The muffin was moist and tasted healthy as they mixed almond flour or something in the ingredients. The barista guy who looks like a manager was very friendly and helpful, and I'd go back next time!

kelley gorvalla

Their Ame-smashed avo is amazing. It’s on midnight bakery gluten free bread. It was absolutely to die for. I love going to this cafe. The staff are always so friendly and the food And coffee is good. The decor makes for a cute intimate feel so it never is to full or too noisy. Cool table at the back too for the kids to play.

Chanteé Hale

Best iced mocha I've had in Auckland and they have gluten free treats too!

Garth Buxton

Vegetarian and Gluten Free. Tastiest food I have ever had!

Jill Reed

Consistently great coffee and friendly staff. Dog friendly. Gluten free options 😋

S L

Very nice gluten free slices

Stacey Cronin

We come here often. I always order the eggs florentine, so delicious. A few gluten-free options available too. The staff are lovely and it’s so nice sitting out the front under the trees.

Chloe Sadler

Very disappointed, just got a gluten free ham and cheese toastie and was charged $23! How can you justify that, won’t be going back

Jaysee Pillay

They make the best coffee, pastries and have a range of gluten free products too. I'm a happy customer since they opened their doors. If you in the area pop in and try the coffee blends!

Jono Norton

Superb certified organic coffee here plus all free range eggs and meat with Gluten free options. Plenty of free parking on nearby streets. We had GF eggs benny and a blat. Both were fantastic and well priced. Highly recommended.

Golden Sun

This place REALLY lives up to its name! Everything tastes fresh and delicious, and on top of all, the price is very fair. Nothing is overpriced here. Will always come back! Highly recommended! Also, gluten-free bread option. But a gluten-free bread that tastes good as well.

Tim Wightman

Great food and coffee with awesome staff. Gluten free friendly 👍

Kara LW

I’m gluten free as I am celiac and the lady I ordered from was super nice and was knowledgeable about gluten free drinks available she even wrote ( gluten free please no cross contamination) on my drink. I was so pleased as most other Starbucks I’ve been into have told me there’s no drinks available for me and has no knowledge on this. So big ups Albany super quick also considering it was packed

Natalie Coombe

Delicious food, friendly staff and great view. I had the Spanish Big Breakfast with gluten-free bread, and an iced chocolate with almond milk. Both were delicious and I’ll be coming back again!

Kay Williams

The element that most impressed me was the presentation of the tea. I'll go back there just for that. Also the gluten free options are tasty. The only draw back was that I couldn't hear clearly what the server was saying, they r so quiet and polite.

Paul Kelly

Lynda Mance
