Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Napier

Rapid Bubbles

Great gluten free range, really good smoothies

Lindsay Blackman

Fabulous food and people. Recommend you book first. Dairy free and 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 :-(

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!

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.

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!

Craig Wilson

Good gluten free choice and very tasty Poppys egg bene

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.

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.

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.

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 😀

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.

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.

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.

Jason Cole

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.

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

Rapid Bubbles

Great gluten free options

Donna Powell

A good selection of Gluten free foods.

Teresa Allen

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

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!

Sally Davenport

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.

Bren Murrell

Amazing little pizzeria that sell ENORMOUS and delicious pizza whole or by the slice.i asked if they did gluten free... They don't... But if you bring in your fave GF base they'll put toppings on it for you! I was blown away. The folks that run it are absolutely lovely too.

Amanda Byrne

The bun for the gluten free burger was homemade, soft and held together well when eating. The homemade pickles were sour and delicious. The fries were cooked in a dedicated gluten free fryer and were amazing. The meal size may look small but it was plenty of food and I couldn’t finish it all. The staff were amazingly friendly and happy.

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

Stephanie

Fiona Ferris

I can't say enough good things about Ajuna. I've had brunch and lunch there on a number of occasions and it's always been fantastic. The meals are lush, abundant, fresh, delicious and all-round yum. There are interesting dishes such as the smoked fish, and the caesar salad was amazing. Everything is very fresh. Easy for gluten-free/celiac too.

Karla Mitchell

Great spot to sit outside with friends in the large shady yard. Good selection of gluten free food, and dog friendly as well. Looking forward to coming back next time we're in Napier.

Maggie O

Great coffee, great kawakawa tea and other varieties of beverages, highly recommend the coffee and Gluten free chocolate brownie combo. Fantastic friendly staff. Bathroom on site, outdoor seating under umbrellas.

Tess Sykes

Gluten free options on asking

Lizzie Oliver

😋 delicious sushi, always fantastic service. But I wish they could do a gluten free dough for their pork stem buns or put the meat in a rice paper package. Yum

Taija Rutanen

Our child has celiac disease and therefore needs gluten-free food. The staff really went out of their way to get our child something to eat, even though the gluten-free rolls were out of stock or out of stock.

Arthur Brandwood

You need google to find this place, tucked between the warehouses in a port side lane way. But persevere, it's well worth it. A great range of cooked breakfast options, toast that's crisp and tasty and a full and separate gluten free menu. Spacious outdoor seating area to boot. What's not to like?

Gavin Cooper

Best steak sandwich for ages and thanks for being so accommodating for our Gluten Free needs.

Delcie Wardrop

Affogatto and warm gluten free friand. Lemon lime cheesecake with sweet chai latte. Quick service with a smile. Busy and good coffee.

marion mcgregor

Adrian MacGregor

Cherie Collis

Good gluten free wraps Fresh as salads spotlessly clean friendly staff Reasonable prices

Sandee Beattie

Awesome service, I am gluten free, when I told my waiter I thought I could not have the cheese sauce he let the chef know and I was made a cheese sauce without flour. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!

Karen Haigh

We stopped in for lunch on Monday on arriving in Hawkes Bay for a brief holiday. The staff were very helpful in sorting out food that would meet my dietary requirements offering me gluten free options for gravy and cheese sauce to go with a large and delicious portion of roast beef with vegetables. I can definitely recommend them as a lovely place to eat especially if you have dietary needs.

Jo Thompson

A duty manager took our meal order and did not fill us with confidence that he understood our insistance that one meal had to be gluten free. Very small meals Staff passed plates in front of us to others at our table After asking if we wanted coffee or desserts and us replying can we have five minutes, they put a chemical through the coffee machine. So we were unable to have coffee. I don't imagine we will eat here again.

Sandy Ross

I was lucky enough to be told this bakery makes gluten-free pies on request. I haven’t had a pie in years so I asked for half a dozen and they are SOOOOO good 😋 I’m going back for sure. Thanks Wisey’s.

Marina Andrielli

Welcoming and refined location, perfect service, expertise in food and wine, gourmet dishes at almost popular prices. We were welcomed and pampered by Elisa, a dedicated and passionate super top manager. Particular attention is also paid to intolerances. Excellent gluten free and dairy free dishes. Absolutely not to be missed if you are in Napier!

Lizzie Oliver

Awesome lunch and coffee, they made a gluten free dish for me. Yum 😋
