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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ordered breakfast for 2 with drinks. Server confused with request of no bread (gluten free) and asked for a substitute. Paid sat down and received 1 breakfast only, asked waiter to check, the cashier then came out to our table to argue with me that we never ordered a 2nd breakfast!! Showing me it wasnt on her till reciept! Which clearly shows she never rang it up in the first place, she made a scene in front of my guest and the table next to us who commented to us they couldn’t believe her behaviour. Overall disappointing unprofessional service, would not bother going back there again. Sutto is not what it use to once be, clearly gone down hill and now the customer is always wrong!

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?
