Great to stop here on the way back from Dunedin. Great staff and so many gluten free options. All tasted great-we'll be back.

I recently celebrated my 70th birthday. Triangle Espresso catered a morning tea, including gluten free food. All was delicious and beautifully presented. Triangle Espresso provided great trays of food that were clearly marked to ensure easy recognition and return.

Love this Subway!!!! Awesome team work! My mother told one worker she was gluten free and she even offered to change her gloves which shouldn't be so suprizing but it was considering you don't get that often! They were fast. All well at what the did. The best subway I've been too for sure. It was YUM!!!! thanks girls!!

Once again my husband and son have come home stating that Robert Harris Ashburton has not failed to impress them! Assistance was offered to determine gluten free options, the place was busy but that did not stop service being helpful and pleasant, and the food good. Nice job, Robert Harris staff. Wish I'd been travelling with them too!

Absolutely amazing service for the second time we have visited Joe’s Garage! The girl who served us (I think her name is Maddison) went above and beyond to help my coeliac daughter choose something delicious the first time and we visited again in the weekend and she still remembered my daughter despite it being a couple of months since we were last there. My daughter begs us to drive up from Timaru all the time due to the delicious gluten free options and exceptional service. We will always factor in stopping at Joe’s garage on our way through Ashburton now. Thanks so much and thank you for providing safe gluten free options 😊

I want to start with mentioning this is the very first review I have ever left on a restaurant but felt compelled to. Currently visiting from chch and decided to check out the local food places. As a coeliac it can be very difficult to find restaurants that I feel safe to eat at. Not here! Their entire menu is designed so practically everything (except for one dish - the pasta) is made naturally gluten free or can be made to do so. They do this without sacrificing variety in the menu, flavour, ingredients - the food was divine and the atmosphere was beautiful! Thank you for having us and I believe this place is exemplary to other establishments for the future of dining out 😊

Excellent food and service. Loved the atmosphere of the diner. Huge portions, lots of gluten free options and great choices for the kids. Highly recommended.

Attention coeliacs! I know a lot of the reviews say "lots of GF options" and it all looks great, but there is a tiny sign that says it stands for gluten FRIENDLY, not gluten free. When I asked the woman behind the counter if that meant "gluten in the food, but not much" or "gluten free by ingredient, just beware of cross contamination" she got quite angry that I even asked and didn't answer the question. Stay safe out there. Robert Harris down the road does nice GF stuff and they have more knowledge to answer your questions if you have them :)

The service and food were outstanding. We called in on the off chance, and were welcomed even though they had a couple of big bookings. We chose to sit out in the courtyard area but were not forgotten. Both waitresses were attentive, one even came to check if we needed anything before she started taking orders for the big booking. The food came out promptly and was delicious. I had the chicken breast, and it was divine. Amazing presentation. Heaps of gluten free choices. We’ll be back, thanks for a great dining experience.
