Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across North Shore, Auckland

Katrina Anderson

Amazing food! Best bakery/ cafe for gluten free food. Huge selection to pick from and the staff are so friendly! The tiramisu cookie pie is hands down the best gluten free option I’ve ever had.

Emma Rose Gardiner

Gluten free pies are worth the drive Real ingredients and really delicious

Thomas Hendricks

Incredibly well-managed and very good service at a locally-owned restaurant that truly knows their stuff with keto, coeliac-safe, low FODMAP and other nutritional needs. In two years of living locally and eating here monthly or at least quarterly, we’ve never had a problem with an order nor a bad experience.

Finally a Cafe that caters for allergies! Specifically for me, most of the menu could be catered as gluten free and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was varied, not just the normal Cafe staples which was so refreshing and the staff were lovely. A lovely lunch on my last day in New Zealand. One happy tourist and if I were a local I'd be a regular. 😁

I was in town with family for a couple of days, we discovered Honey Cafe the first morning and ended up returning the next morning because it was so delicious! The mince & toast was the nicest I've ever had (so good I had it twice)🤤 I had gluten free toast and was impressed it wasn't the usual vogels but thick wedges. My sister had the classic (salmon) bagel GF both days as well, others in the party had French toast and creamy mushrooms...we were all delighted with our meals. Service was great and atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and drinks. Nice vibe. Very friendly staff. Food is very healthy, all freshly made and so yummie. They are vegetarian but lots of their dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. As far as I saw there are also many glutenfree options. I hope I can visit again sometime.

Had dinner last night at El Greco and we absolutely loved the experience. From the warm and friendly staff, to the comfortable outdoor seating, to the amazing food, everything was exceptional. We had a quiet dog and this was fine. Flat surfaces, so ok for wheelchairs too. Our fried has celiacs and this also was not a problem. I loved the Italian lagers (it was great to have another option, rather than just Peroni). The 7 ⭐️ Metaxa was similar to a Cognac, full of flavours and a great way to finish the night over dessert. Nice wine selections too. Really enjoyed all the food - souvlaki, squid, pasta. Lots of generous amounts of salad. My only feedback would be to only use vegetables that are in season. Brussel sprouts are not in season now, which means they’re probably cooked from frozen and we found them mushy. Apart from that we loved everything about dining here and would highly recommend it to others. Graci!

I visited from East Auckland today, and it was worth the drive. Olivia's kitchen staff are so welcoming. They reassured me and helped me several times to pick the right options for gluten-free options. The person behind the counter was extremely helpful. The food itself is amazing. Our items were of great quality and I have not had good GF Asian food in so long. Thank you so much, we hope to visit again. :)

I ordered gluten free burgers and I specifically signalled to the store via Uber Eats that the burger needs to be gluten free (clicked gf bun and gluten allergy) as my partner has cealiac - we ordered the bacon backfire for her. When the order arrived we were suspicious as gf was not checkmarked on the box but the bun looked gluten free when compared to another gf burger. Tried to call the store for half an hour but they just did not answer the phone. After my partner tried the burger she immediately got sick due to the gluten in the burger which was not supposed to be there. Seems like ticking the gluten allergy checkmark does not matter in the Albany store - in other Burger fuel stores this never happened before... Stay away from Albany if you have an allergy!

Ok I’ve passed this place 1,000s of times but have never eaten here. Man I’ve been sleeping because it’s sooo delicious. I ordered the fried chicken poke bowl that was already gluten free, because I cannot pass up on gluten free fried chicken. UGH this was delicious. The sweet sauce they had on it, the half avo, the generous ginger, the chicken was crunchy. Could’ve had more rice, but overall, so delicious. We sat outside in the sun which was lovely, and sheltered from the wind. My daughter enjoyed the little playground down below. We also ordered fries on the side that were crunchy and delicious. Cabinet food also looked good - mainly sweet stuff and a lovely Carmel gluten free slice. But I was too full to order it. Would come again 10/10.

Amy Eagles

Lovely service from Sophia. Knowledgeable on the coeliac-safe options and catered to the kids’ fussy requests

Cate McCallum

Amazing burger! My daughter and I are both coeliac so finding somewhere that makes superb burgers gluten free (and yummy as gluten free fries) is bloody awesome! Brilliant place- great staff, great atmosphere...will be back for sure!

Peter Coxhead

Great food and service. If you like Malaysian food (who doesn't?) This is a great option. My nephew has allergy with gluten and they took extra care with his food. Amazing

Garth Buxton

Vegetarian and Gluten Free. Tastiest food I have ever had!

Kara LW

Service was amazing. Such lovely staff ! They had a seperate gluten free menu and also had gluten free soy sauce. Food was very yummy!

Lee Martelli

A fantastic place to have the most yummiest range of ice cream and frozen yoghurt! Gluten free cone options, vegan ice cream options, real fruit ice creams! Often a queue but everyone at this place is very happy and cheery so it's kinda fun to wait in that atmosphere! Owner seems to love making people happy :-)

Scott San Quentin

Stellar selection of Vegan and Dairy Free/Gluten Free ice creams. The Vanilla Passionfruit, Blood Orange Sorbet and Ambrosia in a waffle cone was heavenly. Sit under the old oak tree and enjoy the cool sea breeze.

Emma Louise Cullen

Delicious fresh mussels, gluten free, hearty portion , happy tummy!!

Judith Brown

I was a bit stressed having to get some good take away gluten free food for my son in law. They were so busy and I went to walk out. I was encouraged to check the second menue and to do an order it would be like a 10 minute wait. Great service. I was also given a glass of water. Back to day for the same but 2 of them.

Ginger Williams

Amazing place!! Cosy, very kind friendly staff, a whole gluten free menu!! Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!

Erin Rivers

Lovely and attentive staff. Really obliging with gluten free options and bringing me a little plate of limes when they saw me eating the limes out of other people’s glasses 😅

Sophie Grayson

Sophia was an amazing waitress, she was very accommodating with me being celiac. Thank you so much

Jess Lomberg

Amazingly delicious. So many gluten free options and caters to coeliacs with ease. Highly recommend!

Olga Ozdemir

If you're hunting for the best pizza in North Shore, look no further! This restaurant offers an exceptional array of pizzas, each boasting a perfect balance of toppings and a divine sauce that complements the crispy crust wonderfully. What truly sets them apart is their gluten-free base—an absolute game changer. It's as delicious as their regular base, ensuring that everyone gets to enjoy their incredible pizzas without compromise. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly, making each visit as enjoyable as the pizza is delicious. A must-visit for any pizza aficionado!

Jude Crosweller

Good savoury and sweet g/f options, usually a gluten and dairy free one as well.

Sophie Hodge

They have gluten free bread so there are several of breakfast options available with toast. Each cup of coffee comes with a little bit of cake and they even brought me a tiny bit of gf cake with my coffee! Such a nice touch. Staff were so friendly. Would love to come back!

Lorna Hobo

A light and bright atmosphere, lovely staff, everything made on site including juice drinks, corn chips, tortillas, flan and salsa. Everything is Gluten Free!! Fresh and yummy. 😋 a Mexican fan must!

Britt B

Gorgeous cupcakes. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, tasty balanced flavours and moist fresh cakes. Gluten and Dairy free options available in more than one flavour!! Two sizes of cupcake available as well as a small range of cookies and cake pops. Wonderful and well worth a visit. The only shame is if the seat inside is taken the outdoor seating area is not as lovely as the cakes deserve so be prepared to relocate or take home.

The Lobster

Had the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had from here. The best coffee and hot chocolate too! They cater for Coeliac Disease.

Andy Richards

Staff were very friendly and booking was easy. The food was great and it was awesome to see so many gluten free options as well. Only let down was the time it took for our food to come out. Overall a good experience.

Kate Jordan

Awesome range of gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options. Gluten free French toast! Hard to find these days

Kitty Oliver

Really disappointed with my experience at Pita Pit Onewa Road. Worker let us order pitas and last minute said they didn’t have any gluten free pitas and we had to cancel the order. We also ordered smoothies and the worker also waited until the last minute to tell us there was no more left and had to cancel again. Really frustrated and she didn’t apologize about having to cancel our order twice.

Elaine Pettit

Great restaurants, my husband is Celiac and they looked after him Really well. The staff were amazing and so friendly. Would highly recommend

Carolyn Agoston

Great view. Delicious food very original flavors catering for all food needs gluten free etc. Service spot on

Janine Casas

Love Wok n Noodle! My favourites are the Pad Kee Mao and Drunken Fried Rice, both with the crispy pork belly. It’s moreish, and will keep you coming back from more. They also have low carb, carb free and gluten free options, so there’s something for everyone.

Fleur

Stopped in for morning tea and it was absolutely delicious! My mum and Nana enjoyed the gluten free muffins and I have found a place that does the most tasty delectable vegan cookies from Vegan Treatory. Will definitely come back again!!!

Desmond Pescos

Despite the gluten free menu shown on their website, it is now out of date and very few options are gluten free (pink menu pictured is what's actually there, not what's on website). Visited April 12 2025 and several food options on menu just not available. Staff are trying hard but just nowhere near enough of them to cope. Chicken was burnt on outside, pink on the inside and dangerous to eat - the staff refunded the meal without fuss but I recommend you cut into your chicken and check before eating. No glasses or water jugs available (insufficient dish staff, I suspect) so we made do with what looked like jam jars to drink from.

Andreia Alcantara

Tasty burger and super friendly service! And conscious about gluten free food for celiacs (openly told my son to avoid the fries). Thick shakes really thick and nice! We only missed gluten free fries.... It'd be awesome to have them next time. :)

Katherine Downs

Absolutely delicious! Best fresh ingredients and such an amazing chef. I’m coeliac gluten free and they very kindly adapted dishes for me. Perfect.

Colin

Amazing experience since our last visit 8 years ago with friendly experienced staff and amazing choice of gluten free meals. We went x2 in 2 days it was that good!!!!

monique knight

Thank you for having interesting gluten free treats that I can have for Xmas. No FOMO for me this year.

Amos Lochhead

We visited Browns Bay Brewing Co. last Friday to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was fantastic! Recommended by a friend who dines here often, the location is perfect—right by Browns Bay Beach with a lovely indoor/outdoor flow. The food was incredible, especially the tender chicken wings and the famous ribs, which lived up to the hype. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and the menu had great options, including plenty for those with gluten allergies. The service was friendly, fast, and attentive, with staff making sure we were taken care of throughout the evening. Plus, the craft beer selection was fantastic. A lively atmosphere, quick service, and delicious food made for a memorable night. Highly recommend!

The Lobster

Great food, nice atmosphere, staff are nice. Very attentive towards those with Celiac disease and was able to cater for it.

Aaron Parke

Love this place nice little bakery, love the selection of vegan and gluten free alternatives, also confirmed that they do have the best cheese scones I have ever had.

Isabel Smart

Good place for gluten free options.

Danielle Peck

My family came here to celebrate a few things, one of them being my parents anniversary, and the salt message was a lovely end to the dining experience. Tasty food. Able to cater for gluten and dairy allergies. Vegetarian options available.

Phoebe Thwaites

First time ever having fried chicken on waffles first time seeing a gluten free option was amazing

Jeff S

Great range - stuff never stocked by supermarkets. Gluten free baking ingredients. Recommended.

Benjamin Thomas Watt

Very good. Great gluten options. They have uber eats too.

Natasha Telles

The food was excellent, the coffee and service quite disappointing though- I was after a gluten free breakfast option ( from the counter)- the person serving me didn't even crack a smile, looked exasperated when I took my time as they have written all the menu on glass which makes it hard to match the writing to the product. She rattled off the gluten free options and when I asked her if any of them were savoury- she said no none ! I ordered a sweet option only to see two savoury optinos while I was waiting which was annoying. Highly recommend the food but maybe have a chat with the staff on customer service.
