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 😉

EVERTHING IS GLUTEN-FREE Such amazing food and so much variety! We'd been camping, so got to town starving, stuffed ourselves and bought more for later. What a wonderful surprise to be able to eat anything there that took my fancy. The strawberry milkshake was superb and the toasted panini with spicy chutney - delicious.

We've had a lot of fish and chips all over NZ and this has been the best!! Not only was the regular gurnard and chips amazing, but they also have great options for anyone who is celiac. Super appreciate the care they took to prepare a safe meal for my partner. And it wasn't dry like most gluten free batter ;) Thanks for a great meal!

Absolutely love this place, they have an allergy card at the front where it clearly states which items may contain traces and which are celiac safe. When ordering you can ask for gluten free soy sauce and they will give you a little pot of it.
