I went in sooo hungry about 1.30pm as I couldn't find any gluten-free options anywhere, and was very happy to see a good selection. I got a delicious,giant brunch (or was it breakfast?) muffin with egg, bacon, and hollandaise, as well as a slice of caramel and white chocolate cheesecake, which tasted absolutely divine! It was huge, too, and I just finished it off after dinner for dessert. Thanks so much for having great gluten-free options rather than just the obligatory chocolate brownie or caramel slice that most cafes have. I think I'll pop in tomorrow before we leave to get some more cheesecake!

Really good coffee and a great selection of gluten free food. I had a frittata, which was tasty, but I’d probably try something off the menu next time. The gf yo-yo was delicious!

We stopped here for lunch on our way from Christchurch to Dunedin. Their food were amazing. They list all the allergens on their menu and there're lots of gluten free options as well. Friendly staff, but food was a bit slow since we went on a Sunday and the place was packed.
