Great place for a meal. We had a large party here for celebration. They set up a long table for us. The food was delicious and lots of gluten free options. I love the atmosphere of the wooden tables large doors and even log fire. Staff are always lovely. Lots of space and room for children families.

I can give 5 star for banana muffin and their gluten free snacks. So yumm. However, Staff are ridiculous. They are more interested in talking with each other than serving customers...So rude customer service

Great service . I needed gluten free food and needed to educate the waitress that the fries were not gluten free if they were cooked in a fryer with gluten. So.if you are gluten free/coeliacs don't get their frys. But the rest of the meal was tasty and brilliant

Always a good stopoff here for decent coffee and brunch or lunch. We had the beef nachos for our gluten free daighter, french toast and bacon for the other hungry monster and the veggie stack. If you haven't eaten for days and all you can think about is a big plate to fill the tummy, don't get the veggie stack - it's only just big enough for a wafer thin super model. Order up the big breakfast for big eaters and hungry teenage boys. There's plenty on offer from the cabinet. Coffees are good enough, but not the bestin Tauranga. The girls are always friendly and most times plenty of parking in the Bethlehem Palmers carpark - after you've doused your body in as much caffeine as you can drink, pick up some pot plants and get into the garden to work off some of those calories!

Please be aware their Matcha Lattes are a blend, not pure Matcha powder. Contains gluten, milk, soy and egg. I had an almond milk matcha latte today to then spend the rest of morning tea violently vomiting in their bathroom. Only to receive a “oh sorry” after I asked on my way out if they accidentally gave me dairy milk instead of almond milk further leading to showing me the “Matcha Blend” ingredients list

Disappointed that the big choice of savoury gluten free selection has reduced to one! Will give it another try as it was my favourite and I used the take many groups of people there for lunch.

This little pocket of a place was amazing so, after buying my daughter and I some food, my wife suddenly rang me and asked for a coffee and some gluten-free food if they had any well indeed they did, I ask for one item then lovely woman serving asked me if she was a coeliac, and I said yes she in that instant proceeded to put on gloves and continued with the order, I gotta say that was pretty cool, and let's not bypass the fact that food is amazing and the people are too.

We visited for Sunday lunch as we had been given a voucher. The Cafe was quiet and very economical. We had the Salmon Roulade which was delicious, a sausage roll, a gluten free cake from the cabinet and a milkshake. Would be very happy to return. Sorry, no photos as we were too hungry to bother
