Top 50 Gluten-Free Dessert Havens Across New Zealand

Olivia C

The best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had, even better to peace of mind that the whole place is fully gf, and the staff are very knowledgeable. We enjoyed taking these down to eat on the lakefront, will definitely be back again!

I was there an hour 40mins ago and bought brownie cheesecake slice and a Mince & Cheese pie which they heated up from cold for me, made today apparently. Together they cost me $17.50!! There are no prices displayed so if you're going here expecting to be satisfied on a typical NZ bakery budget then think again, the gluten free premium is rife here. Do note the lack of stars on this review reflects only on the pie of which I'm disappointed, I am half way through the pie now and I still haven't tasted the filling. For what I'm guessing is a $9 pie it's not up to par compared to much better pies in the Wellington region that are cheaper and packed to the brim with filling. Speaking of which I've gotten to the filling at last and it tastes great but still no sign of cheese. Upon finishing the pie now my conclusion is there's less than 1 teaspoon of cheese in this pie. Sorry guys but my experience of a most basic pie is lacklustre. Unlikely this review will directly affect your high rating but pie wanters should know what to expect.

Absolutely delicious made my celiac heart so happy !

Best place for a gluten free treat

Courtney Radmall

My family and I came here for breakfast and loved it. It is almost 100% gluten free excited for the whey oats they use in their porridge. It is all plant based so I thought my young kids might not like it but everything we ordered we all devoured. Perfect breakfast place for celiacs.

Courtney Radmall

The most incredible gluten and dairy free waffle cones. I also had their ice cream sandwich and they make the creamiest dairy free ice cream. Definitely worth checking out. It's 100% gluten free🙌🏻

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Joanna Paul

Stopped for some tea and coffee but ended up ordering The Briscoff Dream which took longer than expected and yummy hot chocolate. Beautiful quotes across the cafe. Plenty of gluten free option available. Was a bit crowded and had to stand in line and worth it though.

Renee Rigden

The best gluten and dairy free birthday cake I have had. Everyone loved it. Thanks Bluebells, we will be back for more.

Maximus Marioli

Had the pleasure of dinning at the Public kitchen and bar with my partner. Our waiter Ed throughly explained the menu to us. My partner is a celiac and Ed brought out a seperate menu for her and talked us through it and even gave us some delicious recommendations. The service was great and the food and drink were excellent. Lovely establishment and a great waiter. Thank you Ed!!!

Marigona Rakovica

I don’t usually do good or bad reviews but I can’t help but do so for this one. :) my lunch was so delicious and I can’t stop thinking about it. What made it even better was the service! I went to order lunch early on my break and the lady was kind enough to explain to me that the chicken was not ready and that it had to be cooked to the right temperatures so that’s it’s safe to eat. This was great to hear. I waited, ordered and got a free cookie for waiting! Really appreciated and gluten free which I need as I’m Coleac. So thank you to the staff today. :) will definelty be back sooner!

Aotearoa Surf Film Festival

Amazing gluten free options

Marieke Pastor

Lovely place for a meal. The food is delicious and the service outstanding. The coeliac member of our group was catered for. Would highly recommend.

Petra Fleming

Amazing kai every time with excellent service. There have been numerous times I've ordered when they're closing and they are still happy to make my order. Great gluten free options that are coeliac friendly. Thanks so much for your excellent business!!

Shona Hickey

Great customer service - good wine selections and food well priced. A lot of Gluten free options and a bonus gf complementary shortbread with my coffee - that made me very happy.

Kathryn Gilbert

Almost everything is gluten free. great food and cocktails.

MayaPlanas Family

Excellent and delicious Gluten Free menu (they can provide dairy free options as well). Very friendly staff. Environment is classic and relax. Would truly recommend.

Joe Ward

100/10 - I am convinced there is no better sweet treat on earth. Everyday at 3pm my colleagues and I wander down to riverside and try find the last Millionaire Crunch—if not already sold out. Countries would go to war over the quality of this caramel. Gluten free and not trying to charge extra arm and a leg - what a breath of fresh air! Will see you again tomorrow and until my last day.

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Sophie

So grateful this restaurant exists. Celiac safe. Amazing food, great service.

Tasneem Al-Maskari

I always go to duck island at least once a week and never thought to leave a review. Out of all my times here, today was the best one! Thanks to Cordell. Such a genuine person who actually recommended stuff I’ve never had before. The gluten free cone yall?!! Actually phenomenal (I’m not allergic to gluten). Thank you heaaaps Cordell.

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.

Bernadette J

A Godsend for gluten free eaters traveling thru. It's nice enough to sit in and make an event of it but they're happy to pack it to go, too.

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. 😁

Tarax Goat (TaraxGoat)

Always great cheap plant based gluten free food.

Rebecca Mayston

Devine! Am so pleased i discovered this place, o much so its going to now be a regular visit each time I'm here. Highly recommend the La Forestiere if you're a mushroom lover. The flavours are sensational. I was having trouble deciding what to have and the wonderful server recommended if I'm a mushroom lover to try it.... she was right, I can understand why it's her favourite. Great option for Gluten free dining, including a selection of French sweet treats in the cabinet. Yum.

Sam Goodin

Avocado on toast was so good 👍 - gluten free is a bonus. Thanks guys

LJC 145

Perfect poached eggs, delicious breakfasts and amazing gluten free options for every dish and in the cabinet. What a gem.

Nicole Trayner-Smith

As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere

Lindsay Blackman

Fabulous food and people. Recommend you book first. Dairy free and gluten free options

Martyna Soroka

Amazing place for breakfast! Delicious food and coffee, awesome service. You can buy there very nice local products, real fruit ice cream (also vegan), salads and pastry to take away. Many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options

Christine Richardson

Awesome Coffee and Gluten free options

Russell Paget

What a find Food awesome lots of choice amazing friendly and knowledgeable about menus Gluten free options and had oat milk so all good Would highly recommend this cafe Ten out of Ten for me

aamenah sohaib

5/5!!! It’s so hard to find good gluten free cakes and this one was amazing. We bought the rose and pistachio and it was delicious. A hit with everyone. Such a lovely flavour. The owner also let me pick up the cake after hours. Could not recommend them enough!!

Felix Mann

Delicious with coeliac friendly options (they have a separate fryer). I loved my burger and my partner enjoyed a gluten free breakfast option. Toni really looked after us. Recommended!

David Visser

Always an absolute party to visit for my coeliac daughter. The staff are very well trained on how to handle a request for coeliac ice cream. They make fantastic gluten free cones, and will specifically go out the back to grab a brand new tub of ice cream with a new scoop. My coeliac daughter turned 7 today and we took her tonight like we do sometimes. I’m so happy that she can feel completely like every other person here with a huge range of flavours available. Her favourite is ambrosia. The staff is always friendly too. If anyone is looking for a great gluten free dessert look no further!

Emily Blackwell

Great coffee. Sat outside in the sun. We had a hashbrown stack with added halloumi, and a big brekkie with gluten free bread. Fuelled us for our hike later that day. It was delicious and highly recommend.

Chauntelle Marr

Gluten free french toast

Joanne Stockbridge

Always visit this lovely place when I'm in Morueka. Food is excellent. Good range of gluten free options. Staff a great and good fun. Thanks again

Annabell Elgaß

Multiple ways to eat your Crêpe! Sweet, savoury, gluten free - everyone will be lucky with the outcome. Delicious!

Tracy Gale

Fantastic food, and excellent service very knowledgeable about gluten free options for Coeliac customer.

Sheryl Leonard-Schlitter

What a gem tucked away in Cambridge. I was so impressed with their menu. Offering gluten free, vegan, keto and sulphite free options. When you have food intolerances, it's awesome to find such a cafe that thoughtfully states clearly potential food allergens on their menu.

Angela Woolley

Fantastic night out. Staff were amazing and made us so welcome. We had someone with Celiac disease. Most of the menu is gluten free but for the bits that weren't the staff made sure she had an alternative. Thank you all, you were fantastic

Linda Grant

Great view and service, good sandwiches at lunchtime. The glutenfree hamburger bun was one of the best we've encountered. Celiac friendly, dedicated fryer.

Zusje Knowles

In short, I’ve been here twice and I’d choose to dine elsewhere in chch in places I know do a much better experience for this price. I don’t have pictures from our visit but they wouldn’t justify anything anyway. The truffle fries had no truffle, just pecorino cheese on top to make them look like truffle fries, a common hack/ trick. The gluten free pizza base could do with some work/improvements, we’ve definitely had better. The kids menu items are $20 which is so expensive for what you get. We ordered the kids macaroni, and for that portion (the size of a bread and butter plate in a small cast iron sizzler) it would cost $3 to make and they’re charging $20, already steep for a kids meal so I expected it to be amaaaazing. It also came out on a sizzling plate, from a kids menu!? Why would you serve a piping hot cast iron plate to children? It makes absolutely no sense. The staff could do with some major training on the drinks list, it’s a small wine list and wouldn’t take very long to teach the staff what is what, they knew nothing about wine whatsoever. The flavour of our pizza was ok, the beef cheek was lovely, they also have a sparking red wine which was new for us and delicious (even if the waitress didn’t know if it was actually sparkling red wine). All in all I’d choose other restaurants over this next time for sure. There just aren’t enough redeeming factors.

Marc Torrey

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

Carol Digby

Great local Cafe, friendly staff, good coffee and great food choices including gluten free options

Sarah Roberts

Lovely dinner at The Fat Duck. Do recommend booking in for a seat. Service was friendly and food was very tasty. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options.

Tania Webb

We called into the coffee bomb for some lunch, I bought a gluten free bacon and egg pie, was the most delicious gf pie I've ever tried, pastry was very nice and light, wouldn't mind that recipe or ordering a few of I could.
