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.

Very industrial-looking which makes it appear a bit “cold” but food is good and so is the coffee. Smashed avocado and Eggs Benedict both available as a gluten free option and proportions were huge!

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.

Just returned home replete from an absolutely delicious lunch enjoyed on the verandah in balmy weather at the Birdwoods Cafe in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay. Two of us ordered the pork belly on potato rosti which was both meltingly tender inside but crisp and crunchy on the outside and two had the Birdwoods pie which were bursting with succulent beef. There was no plate envy on this occasion. Our desserts were the moist gluten free chocolate brownie, a chocolate mousse and the rhubarb cake. So so delicious because they tasted authentic as real food should. Thank you for your very personal table service, beautiful grounds and elegant venue - it is so much more than one expects a Cafe to be. Sharyn Pearce Waikanae

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.

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.

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!

A very cute little cafe. Lovely customer service. Had a delicious vegan toastie and carrot cake with a soy latte. Popped in for a coffee and was very excited by the vegan food options, as they’re hard to come by, particularly in smaller shops. Thank you for catering for different dietary requirements! I’m not gluten free but was surprised by how tasty the gluten free bread was. Keep up the good work!
