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.

Delicious food and great for catering to gluten free. Had the lemon meringue pancakes and korean fried chicken burger - both delicious!

First time here today and I'm blown away by the food and service. 10/10 for the Gluten free, Dairy free variety of food they have. Nice, cosy and tucked away slightly outside of Havelock city center. I never felt so good after having so much food!! Must visit specially for the gf,DF, v options and a variety of fig products!

Paul Davis

Best gluten-free fish and chips ever! I travel just to go there

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.

Auceane MORVAN

The gluten-free burger!!! Excellent and it's so nice to be able to eat a real gluten-free burger!!!

Emma Holmes

We ate here for the first time tonight and it was delicious authentic Italian with the bonus of accommodating our daughter’s Coeliacs. We’ll definitely be back!

Nicole Fröhlich

Auceane MORVAN

Excellent discovery! Homemade, gluten-free, healthy, and varied dishes. And what's more, they have mega-delicious, gluten-free desserts!!! Amazing!!!

Kathryn Gilbert

Great selection of GF.

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.

LJC 145

Great service, delicious fish every time and brilliant that they do gluten free fish and chips (separate oil).

Loren

SO good! And 100% gluten free 🤩 Best fresh and nourishing lunch in the mount

Andrew Jones

best fish n chips ive had in ages batter was beuty gluten free also

Hannah Lang

Loved my experience here the staff were super kind and helpful, I rang beforehand and was made to feel super welcome and when I arrived I was told all the safety measures put in place such as a seperate gf fryer and working area. I had the fried chicken burger it was okay, the bread tasted a bit sconish and the chicken was a little underseasoned but the Kumara fries were insanely good! Would love to try one of the other burgers :)

Bronwyn Bassett-Smith

Unreal Gluten Free options, warm & inviting Baileys Hot Chocolate a stand out, Kat our waitress most helpful & super friendly

Simon Taylor

Always great sevice and nice food. Nice selection of gluten free options.

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Ben Smith

Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.

Sarah Capon

Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!

Cherie Campion

This needs 8 ⭐️ stars. Beautiful gluten free pasta. Top service. 💯 returning here one day!! The #chocolatecake is to die for!!

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.

kiwisaz

Love this place so much. One of my absolute fav Go-To places. Excellent gluten free range of food. Great service. Great view and atmosphere.

Sarah Capon

As a coeliac and lactose intolerant person I was happy to find a place that was able to safely cater for breakfast and lunch! I didn’t love my breakfast, but I LOVED the chicken Vietnamese salad I had for lunch. Like it was the best lunch I had in my New Zealand travels. They are coeliac aware and take extra care with gluten free meals. Nice staff members and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed my coffee too!

Adam Broster

Great coffee and amazing makes goods…vegan, keto and gluten free options are available!!

Jake Preston-Marshall

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

Jesse Bryan

Excellent vegan and gluten free options :)

Rachel Takao

I almost never go into town, but I will more regularly to go to this cafe. I'm not on a plant-based diet, but that doesn't matter - their selection is huge, healthy and delicious, service excellent. (Also tons of gluten free options)

Robin Smith

One of my favourite places for brunch/lunch! Heaps of gluten-free options in the cabinet and on the menu and everything I’ve tried so far has been delicious. The gf chicken and waffles and the bowls are always a treat ☺️

Michelle Kingsford

Nice quite place to go out of the bustle of town. Great tasting food, gluten free included.

Paulina Sagretti

Gluten free options 😍😍. Amazing, is hard to find a gluten free bakery! Thanks

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!!!

Paul Broatch

Great selection of gluten free food

Marlena

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

anna röttger

The food was absolutely fantastic – but the service was even better! As someone with food allergies, I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The waitress asked about any allergies already during the reservation and later pointed out exactly what I could safely eat from the menu. It's especially recommendable for people with celiac disease. A truly wonderful experience!

Angela Cameron

New owners are lovely and accommodating. They seem to understand about gluten free and keeping things separate as not to poison anyone. Affordable (as much as they can be in this climate) food is always nice, fat drained and hot.

Patrizia Bordignon

Very popular place. It was just on the outskirts of the main city area, within comfortable walking distance. Being gluten free I was impressed with the offerings available to me. Lovely vibes. Highly recommend.

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!

Chris Burrows

Finally gluten free fish and chips and other food. So clean, fresh and yummy. Just had battered Tarahiki, omg I'm in heaven. Will now be my go to place.

Rebecca Greenslade

Epic gluten free and vegetarian pizza with heaps of toppings. So good, thanks guys!

Andrea Gore

Great good! Jay was a great server and had good food knowledge of intolerances and food preferences (coeliac and vegan)

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.
