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🙌🏻

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.

Lovely for a bite to eat on the way through. Cabinet food was too expensive at $15 for each item so ended up just having cheese scones. Very limited gluten free choices. Coffee was fab but had to have a long black as the non cow's milk options were all Alternative brand which makes an ikk cuppa. Friend had a cow's milk latte and liked it. Music was very loud, but vibe was cool inside.

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

Absolutely blown away! 🌟 I’ve never tasted gluten-free cookies like the ones from Sage and Grace, they are on a whole new level. Usually, gluten-free treats feel like chewing on cardboard… but not these! These cookies are soft, rich, and literally melt in your mouth. You’d never even know they’re gluten-free, that’s how good they are. Whether you’re coeliac, gluten intolerant, or just love a damn good cookie, do yourself a favour and try these. Sage and Grace, you’ve seriously changed the game! 🍪✨

I just got the worst GF pizza from the Koutu branch. The normal pizza is good, but the gluten free pizza is absolutely uneatable. GF is not a choice for everyone! 😞 If you can't prepare GF food don't say you can and then add extra charges and expect people to be happy with tast- less food 😡

Besides the desserts being amazing, the highlight of this place has got to be how accommodating they were of one of our group's gluten allergy. Highly recommended this place for anyone with dietary requirements but still want to get the platter or the high tea. The platter is recommended for two, but the four of us were perfectly happy with it. Looking forward to the high tea later on.
