Dinner was okay. Their pizza sauce is way too sweet for me and I didn't care for it. Glad they had a gluten free crust but it wasn't the best I've had.
Unique spot with a lively atmosphere, offering amazing French toast and generous portions, perfect for a satisfying meal on the go.

Great gluten free options. Staff understanding of allergy restrictions for someone with coeliac.Recommend trying the GF French toast option was amazing. Would go back again when passing through. 🙂

I brought my three kids to chipmunks, was the Second time I've been here. It’s a big area for the kids to run around and let off some steam, although you can’t bring outside food there was a decent range of things you could buy instead which was nice. Parents also could follow in around the playground just not on the big slides.
My child has a gluten allergy and they were really easy to deal with regarding the gluten free foods and the seperate fryer, the staff were great with answering my questions overall really happy with the staff and play area! 😁😁
Lovely setting, inside& out. Great choice offered to coeliacs like me. But I'm now not confident I'd want to try them. Crepes with banana, bacon, maple syrup was VERY disappointing. I'm crepe lover/ maker/ eater so was sad to see crepe arrive undercooked -so doughy. Definitely needs sharp crisping both sides. Crepes aren't seeing rolls and don't need to be rolled up, especially not busting with food. Bacon likewise underdone but this seems to be the culture if nz cafes. The bacon imo needs to be crisped up before it goes in pancake.
And --- if you're only giving me one crepe for $20+ , please don't overbalance it with three slices of bacon, or even two large ones. Balance is name of game for pancakes. Banana was present but not super tasty coz a bit fresh. And maple syrup? Not tge best I've tried. It's so disappointing when everything looks so good- but the food isn't. 😪 There goes my $30 for Sunday treat. Coffee also unimpressive tho 3 shots. Naja. I wish the cafe all the best -wonderful selection. (Gf scones!!) but really need to sharpen up kitchen performance. Sorry can't report better. Obviously many pleased customers, the some of reviews very old. Respectful regards.
