I made the wrong order in the app. I needed it to be gluten free but something went wrong. I phoned, they changed it super easy with no fuss. I turned up, they didn't charge the extra, and again made it super easy and friendly, and the burger was delish. Thanks - this is a great customer experience!

Such a great find. My family is gluten free and dairy free and can eat so much here. Last night we had south Indian food and Thai, which were amazing. Great dosa, indo-chinese and thai options, or mix them up. Honestly one of the best retaurants in Whangarei and well priced.

My family had a really nice brunch here! The menu is pretty inclusive with lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. I forgot to take a photo of my meal for the review but I got the vegan spiced mushroom dish and it was so nice! I also had fries with vegan aioli and a flat white with oat milk - also really good! The service was a little chaotic being very busy and a relatively new cafe, so even the staff are still learning what the menu items are - but everyone was super friendly.

Great atmosphere but that's where it ends. They put Gluten Free on most of the menu but only had one option that was actually Coeliac friendly. Do not recommend for people with actual dietary requirements.

Expensive for what you get. Save your $5 extra for Gluten Free and just order a normal pita with no pita as that's all you get. Otherwise meat was good but salads nothing special.

Matthias fed 170 of our guests for a 40th on Saturday. He was prompt, easy to deal with and his pizzas were absolutely delicious. There were so many comments about how great they tasted. He made continuous pizzas for almost 3 hours. Everyone was well and truely full and he left a stack of boxed pizzas for later in the evening. We needed a few gluten free options and that was simple and easy to sort and they were made hot for the guests when they arrived. He was reasonably priced, highly recommend him and we will definitely have him back to cater future events. Thank you so much for making the night smooth and easy.

Friendly staff, delicious scones & muffins, good coffee, light & airy. They do a good range of cabinet good including gluten-free, as well as meals off the menu. All food looks very tasty. Usual prices. Plenty of parking, very clean. The only possible drawback is the lack of character as it is in a traditional hotel, and there is nothing that can be done about that. Definitely recommend for relaxed visit inside or outside on the terrace.

Have dinned at Lone star Whangarei a few times now and it has been good but very disappointed by our recent experience. It was quite quiet when we first arrived but did get a bit busier while there. Either way we didn't see much of our waitress. First complaint was a 1/4 strength coffee was made quite strong but this was remedied. Secondly my sister was told her lasso meal was unavailable and asked to choose something else which she did only to find out that it was actually my new porker meal that was unavailable. This was only after I had started to eat my meal and said this doesn't seem like what I ordered that my sister noticed that it was what she had ordered!! The lasso isn't something I would have ordered as I don't eat a lot of gluten. I would have been okay with the mistake if staff had been apologetic but no one was and blame was but elsewhere on the mistake. We were then going to be charged for the more expensive lasso meal that I didn't even want (except I ate because I was starving by time meals finally arrived). So we did end up only paying for the slightly lesser new porker meal but a bit disappointing having to eat a meal I never ordered or wanted and staff not even caring. I really doubt I will be back or anyone else from our party of 11.
