Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots Across Waikato

Janice MacFarlane

This is the best gluten free cafe I've been in ever. Their cinnamon scrolls are the best. It wasn't until the last time that I went there that I got anything other than that🤣 I got the Reuben focaccia take away that time. Fantastic. Everything is gluten free.

Amazing coffee, a good selection of vegan and gluten free goodies and a great menu for breakfasts and lunch. Curly fries are YUM! Staff were super friendly and attentive.

Andrew Jones

Isuru Tissera

A lot variations available and vegan and gluten free products also available. Now they have changed their layout and find that place have a lot of spacious than before. Keep in up🙂!

Jake Preston-Marshall

Brilliant place for coeliacs, but also for 'normal' people 🙂 Friendly, helpful staff, nice atmosphere and each dish exceeded our expectations!

Cathlin Ryan

Great range of gf options both for savoury and sweet treats. Knowledgeable staff and fantastic service. Highly recommend to anyone with gf dietary restrictions.

So, so happy to have discovered the cozy corner cafe. We're not locals but will definitely be coming back anytime we're in Taupo. This place is a gem and a rare find! Most cafes offer gluten-free, vegan etc as one or two options on their menu as an added consideration for those with dietary requirements. This place caters to virtually every dietary requirement as the basis of their menu, whilst still offering what you'd expect from any cafe. The food is delicious, as well as great coffee. Super highly recommended! I wish there were more cafes around like this

Sophie Tynan

Some of the best food we have ever had. Super fresh produce and so much thought and flavour packed into each dish. Great for people for gluten and dairy intolerances. Will definitely come back.

Blake Dobbin

We were greeted with smiles and welcomed. We ordered breakfast and my partner is celiac, we asked for gf bread and the lovely lady instantly asked if she was celiac, so that was amazing. We sat down and it felt like we had only just planted out bums on the seats and our amazing iced coffees and chocolates came and very shortly after our yummy breakfast was on our table. Yummy food, really reasonable prices and fast! Very impressed. We love trying new cafes here in waihi when we visit and super happy we got the opportunity to try the food! Highly recommend showing love to this business.

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.

The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(

Cathlin Ryan

Fantastic venue with a great cosy interior. Attentive staff and great service around gluten intolerance. Most of the menu is gf with a gf roti as well. Incredible is an apt name for the restaurant. The food was delicious full of flavour and the meat was so tender and moist. 5 star 🌟

Megan Campbell

Lovely visit, staff were super lovely and the vibe of the place was great ☺️ they had a seperate gluten free menu which was great with lots of options! Delicious food. Would definitely come back!

Always love this place. Great selection of quality, yummy food. Gluten free, vegetarian and low fat options to suit everyone's needs and taste. Fast efficient service

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.

Lynette Sefton

Gluten free waffels and bagels on menu. Great range of gluten free topping options. Amazing waffle.

Ian-Lorraine Plant (KiwiPlants)

Really friendly service...and i can get great quality gluten free fish and chips, they know the difference between fad and celiac. Always stop here when visiting.

Kyle Redshaw

Gluten free options including a GF butter chicken pie!

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.

Jarrik Stoker

We've had a number of Eggs Benedict options for breakfast and second breakfasts in NZ and this is by far the best! Delicious fresh NZ salmon and the eggs were poached well. The gluten free bread is also simply delicious. Well priced and do yourself a favour and eat outside to take in the beautiful landscapes and enjoy the chirping of the birds.

Kristina Turcianska

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 😉

Janice Mckain

Best Gluten Free scones I have had

Raewyn Furth

Grandson came with me he is coeliac rated his burger 11/10

Issy Barron

Enjoyed the service & gluten free food as allergic to wheat additive folate acid. Taupo needs more awareness of dietary needs & you've got it. Loved the hippy type atmosphere too 👌.

Monique D’Alton

Fabulous stop. Pretty much everything on menu is gluten free. Staff very friendly and food is amazing

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.

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.

Andrew H.

My wife and I heard about Joe's Garage from the coeliac Facebook group.. re knowledgeable about coeliac and cross contamination. So we thought we'd try it out. WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! The service is great, the staff friendly and genuine. Food is varied and excellent! We'll go again! Well done team!

Nolwenn Chevrot

I had a fantastic experience at Wyld! As someone with a gluten allergy (coeliac), it's often stressful to eat out, but at Wyld, I felt completely safe. They offer great gluten-free options, and everything was delicious and carefully prepared. I didn’t get sick at all — a true relief and a joy! Thank you to the team for making dining out enjoyable and worry-free.

Cute restaurant with a large selection in the core of Turangi, including vegan and gluten-free options. Very nice staff and relaxed atmosphere with fair prices. PS: There is also very tasty ice cream!

Andrea Jukes

Went today for lunch as visiting Raglan. My family member and I have food intolerences and Coeliac disease. The menu was great, extensive choices and reasonable prices. We chose a pizza, beautifully cooked and very tasty. The service was amazing too. So friendly and helpful. Would definately return and certainly recommend!

Crannies

This place is an absolute gem. They catered for our work do and nailed it. Amazing gluten free options, excellent service. Love our local Vietnamese restaurant.

AnnMaree Vercoe

Staff have a great understanding of celiac friendly options, yum food I’ll be back ☺️

Daphne Keller

Great cafe, we visited for lunch. Menu as well as cabinet food. Good variety, gluten free catered for. Coffee was excellent. Didn't wait long for food, quite busy too. Friendly staff. Cool furniture from days gone by, newspaper to read if you like mainstream media 🤣. We sat inside but there was also good outside seating and tables as well. Parking was OK even though there was school sports in the field opposit. I'd rate this cafe the best in Paeroa

Morgane Guillez

Very good family address for a quick lunch. We choose from the window what we want, there are raw, gluten-free, and healthy alternatives even for children. Warm and kids friendly atmosphere (games available).

Rhonda Walker

Fat Kiwi never disappoints...food is excellent as is the service! They have a large variety of food choices, including gluten-free and vegan, I had an iced chocolate this visit, which is made properly, not just with chocolate milk! The worst part about dining here is that sometimes there aren't enough seats!

Joy Hay

Friendly service and great freshly cooked food including several gluten free options. My son visits here when fishing as he loves the black pudding.

Ana Baker

Incredible gluten free Egg Benedict and carrot cake had here today. Many g/f options . Lots of spacious seating indoor and outdoor. Looked thru garden centre neighbour's and also great.

We stayed at Kūaotunu Campground to attend a family friend's beach wedding over Waitangi long weekend. At the wedding, Luke's Kitchen catered fresh stone oven pizzas for dinner. They were delicious, one of the best I've tasted and they also catered for special dietary needs e.g. vegetarians and gluten-free options. Throughout that weekend, we noticed long queues of customers lining up along the footpath outside the restaurant. On Sunday, we decided to place a phone order to avoid the need to queue and wait for our dinner. Caitlin was friendly and pleasant over the phone and very hospitable when we arrived to pick up our order, I was impressed by how quickly she managed the iPad to process our order and then split the total cost between the two paying couples. Great customer service, Caitlin. Keep up the brilliant front-of-house work! 🫶👊 A special mention to the gifted Francine, who provided the live music this Sunday afternoon. What a beautiful and angelic voice you have. You had me singing along with your great choice of music 🎶 We picked up our order of fish n chips, mussel pot with garlic bread pizza and several other flavoured pizza's, the Fresh & Spicy, the Triple P and the Antipasto. I highly recommend the stone oven pizza's👌and my family friends thoroughly enjoyed the mussel pot. We took our takeaway dinner across to Kuaotunu Reserve and sat on one of the picnic tables and enjoyed our meal while looking at the breathtaking views of the beach. 🌊🏖 I would suggest phoning ahead and pre-ordering to avoid the long queues as the restaurant and food are so popular based on the number of patrons that dine in and collect their takeaways. We'll return, if we're ever in the area.

GreyStreet Pharmacy

Lovely Atmosphere. Great food, Lovely service. Just curious do you still do gluten free things as my friend came in and saw you didn't have anything gluten free. would love to bring her but she's gluten free.
