Liz Harvey

A local recommended the Paper Mulberry for lunch and I'm so glad they did. Great cottage-style decor featuring local arts and produce, we had a delicious lunch. Also available is a variety of slices, pies and sandwiches. Generous servings.delicious food, friendly service, plenty of gluten-free options.

Margot

A local, love the ethos however twice now have had a GF scone resulting in a gluten reaction. Contamination somewhere in the process? Cannot be contributed to anything else as deliberately tested on the second occasion. Wont risk it again :-(

Scotty Matthews

Delectable Havana coffee. The barista knows what he’s doing as it’s hard to get a good long black these days. The gluten free carrot cake is the best I’ve ever had. Outstanding. Better than any other including gluten free speciality places in Wellington. I can’t wait to return with more time to indulge.

Karla Mitchell

Awesome place to stop. Dog friendly and good gluten free selection. We will definitely be back.

Summer Burke

I was immediately taken with Mister D when I discovered they make their own breads, preserves and doughnuts. Not only that, they make their own gluten free bread and cornbread! We loved the ambience and the coffee, would have loved to go back before leaving Napier. Wonderful service. Recommend!

Angel Anderson

We had a beautiful high tea at Adoro. The amount of food included in the price was very generous and we all left very full. One of our guests were gluten free and they catered to this no problem with her receiving her very own tea for one platter witb almost the exact same as everyone else but gf. Everything was lovely the only one thing that was slightly lacking was the service. No one came back for a tea order, however this could be a teething issue as this is new to them!

Ros Coote

'The Columbus' is the best breakfast by far we have found in Hastings - two can share easily if you add a side - the chef really does excellent Haloumi. Keto, gluten-free and dairy-free are well catered for. The venue seems pretty wheelchair accessible too.

Gill Stewart

Fish was nicely pan-fried. To many chips for a lunch meal but great if hungery, the salad had a nice light dressing. Good selection of gluten free options. Large range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Craig Wilson

Good gluten free choice and very tasty Poppys egg bene

Bobbie Cave

Had our sons wedding 60 guests on saturday 4 pm on . Food was great , everything they served was delicious . Staff were helpful nothing was a bother. There were quite a few ceoliac ( gluten free) and they were more than happy with food too and no one was unwell the next day . Couldn't speak more highly of food .venue etc

Rebecca

Amazing wood fired pizzas! So delish. Highly recommend the gluten free vege lasagne. Lovely atmosphere, staff make sure you are comfortable and cosy on cold nights with heating and blankets if outdoors. Top service, highly recommend.

Taija Rutanen

It's amazing that so many food options were also available gluten-free!

Kathrine Rice (Kate)

Stopped by for brunch at this cafe in Napier. The cafe was busy which is a good sign. The service was fast & friendly, and the food was very good including both sweet & savoury cabinet options for gluten free. A menu is available but we bought food from the cabinet, so can't comment on that except to say that the soup seemed popular as they sold out of both options.

ruth christensen

Being celiac it was great to see a variety for a change and very appetitizing looking and tasty food what a lovely change thank you

Giles Peach

Had a very pleasant coffee experience here in the past. This time came with Dad for afternoon tea. I am neither gluten averse nor vegan, but their Carrot Cake offering for those that are was most excellent. Lots of that nutty carrot cake texture, and a well balanced flavour. Perhaps if the otherwise excellent icing was slightly less sweet? The Booster smoothie was top tier, and something I'd happily order again. The great taste while still containing Spinach meant I felt healthier with every delicious sip. My Father gave the veggie quiche an impressive 8/10, which is extreme praise from a man who can complain about anything. When pushed to elaborate, he stated "it was very nice". High praise indeed. We'll be back.

David Adams

Lots of outdoor seating, lots of pies my mince and cheese pie was very good, and had some gluten free sandwiches. Has a milk bar feel about it rather than a cost cafe.

Daniel K Munroe

We went there for an afternoon drink during Art Deco weekend, and then for dinner on the Sunday night. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly young Nova(?) who served us for dinner. Around $30 for a really nice fish of the day. Our gluten free requirements weren't a problem, and we'll definitely return next time we're in Napier.

Nikki May

Catered for our allergies and Needs perfectly. I often avoid dining out due to being gluten free and my son With Egg/peanut allergies. But Alistar and Alana both put our minds at Ease. Absolutely beautiful meal that was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back when we visit again from the Waikato. John and Nikki May 😀

Lorraine McFadgen

Great food and Coeliac friendly

Jo Morris

I love Sazio! Great service with a friendly, personal touch, and the food uses the best local produce to offer delicious food that changes seasonally. Good gluten free options too!

Bryce Moller

Great little cafe in the centre of Havelock North. Helpful and friendly staff, good service and great for gluten free meals. Would recommend:)

Steadman Sara

Super friendly staff and great outside seating. It’s hard to find a place where you can make sure you can eat there if you are gluten-free or celiac. But the Gintrap has heaps of glutenfree options available. As we asked the friendly waitress, she told us all about the glutenfree things. Some things are also got offered to be made celiac, she just mentioned that they can’t do the fried stuff celiac cause everything is fried in the same fryer. We ended up ordering a glutenfree pizza and a glutenfree burger and both of the meals were absolutely stunning.

Bas De Vries

Went there on a public holiday. No booking for lunch. 8 people. The place was busy. They offered us a place in the garden but said we would be a bit cramped around the table. I all worked out and we had a great time there. Almost all ordered the fish and chips at $32 a plate! Wow was it worth it! Everyone said it was the best fish and chips thy had in ages. Very generous portions of fish. Thy even did a gluten and dairy free plate too. No issues. Probably should have shared the plates, but everything was finished. We had a great white wine with our meal but I must admit I forgot witch one. Paid the 15% surcharge without any issues. Hope to go back again.

Don Armstrong

I have coeliac disease and never find anything gluten free to take away that is both unique and delicious...anywhere. I stopped in briefly on our way South from Gisborne and found your curried cauli tart....I enjoyed it immensly! Not only was it yummy, the GF pastry was beautiful and the pepitas on top finished it off. Congrats and regards, Lesley from Tassie, Australia😁

Rapid Bubbles

Lorraine McFadgen

Friendly staff and great, fresh gluten free options. We go here at least once a week and I can always rely on them to have something tasty I can eat. Fantastic.

Janet Dougherty

I am a gluten free and dairy free eater and they worked to accommodate my strange eating habits. Yummmmeeee salad provided. Thanks so much for looking out for those of us who are picky eaters.

Collette Fergus

Glad we found this delectable cafe before we left town. Out of everywhere we visited this week this one's was the best. Coffee was delicious , eggs Benedict with salmon and the big breakfast. Staff were attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Loved bring by the seaside and how modern this cafe is. Definitely recommend a visit. My sidekick said the gluten free bread was the best he’s ever tasted. It’s made on site and looks delicious!

Steve Arthur

excellent service, the the food is fantastic, especially the gluten free toasted sandwiches.

Donna Powell

A good selection of Gluten free foods.

Mitchell

The gluten free kebab is actually good! The gluten free wrap they use holds up well and feels like normal. The food itself is better than anywhere else in town. I highly recommend the place for either food or vibe

Marcus & Anna Smith

Went for a dinner with gluten free friends, we ordered drinks and four mains to share. Amazed that all but two of the options on the menu were gluten free. Food came out almost instantly and the flavours were incredible. We couldn’t even pick a favourite, they were all amazing. A bit disappointed we couldn’t try dessert as we were too full. Something to look forward to next time. Wait staff were attentive and friendly.

Teresa Allen

Small meal- great for coeliacs But it was tiny! Very noisy , rowdy. Great waitress who totally understood!

Bodhi Tsa-tsa

Mary’s is a great place to go for a casual or special meal! A great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and amazing food catering for gluten free and vegetarians! We adored the sweet and sour broccoli, delicious asparagus and the gnocchi was the best we had ever eaten. Very talented chefs 😋

Bronya Olendzki-Schulz

We had made a booking based on the fact they offered Gluten Free pizza bases and offered vegan cheese. Upon arrival they informed us they had run out of gluten free bases and when we asked if they offered any other meals suitable for a GF, DF, EF child they said they would check with the kitchen and get back to us, which they never did. We ended up walking out and finding a better establishment.

Elizabeth James

I stopped by for lunch and a coffee. Coffee; mocachino with coconut milk was excellent. I had the vegetarian stack with bacon. Served promptly, plenty of spinach, bacon, portobello mushrooms, a little more capsicum dressing would have been appreciated. All up though lovely. I also appreciated their knowledge of dairy & gluten free food. Well trained. Would go again.

Jordan Smith

Alor of gluten free food and Great service, cheers max

Andrew Black

Excellent food and service. Our 3 young children and one coeliac dietary menu were all catered for. Not only is the food fresh and delicious, most of the vegetables are grown organically on site. The crockery and food presentation are a visual delight. Thank you.
