🫶🏻 We had a wonderful experience at Miss Kangsta! As a gluten-free (coeliac!) restaurant, it’s absolutely fantastic — delicious food, fresh ingredients, and so many creative options. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about dietary needs, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing gluten-free dining in Wellington!

Amazing staff. A real treat with separate fryer for us coeliac people. I had the hashbrown, pesto, avacado and balsamic glaze. Yuuuum!! Loved how many amazing toys there for child-friendly eating

Marc Torrey

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

Jesse Drabble

Kelly Gray

Just enjoy being here, good menu. Only suggestion would be to add more gluten free and dairy free options

I ordered from here via Uber eats last night. I've recently been diagnosed as celiac, so I can not eat anything with gluten, so I ordered their gluten-free pizza base. When the pizza arrived, it was freezing cold, and half of the entire crust was burnt to a crisp, and the crust was inedible. The pizza was disgusting and I paid an outrageous price ($36.19) for it with no refund. I never had a bad experience with their food before being diagnosed as celiac but this was extremely disappointing and disgusting, I will not be going back.

Rebecca Riley

Good coffee, best food. Always impressed by how many gluten-free & vegan options are available. If it's cake you're after, I recommend a visit on Thursday or Sunday. Possibly my imagination but the cakes seem even better than usual!

Catherine Chapman

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, lovely views, good quality food and great value for $. Lots of delicious Gluten Free options, their GF bread is made in-house and is delicious. Inside can get quite cosy and warm when it’s busy, sitting outside is lovely if you want to soak in the views on a clear day, there are also blankets provided to keep you warm on the cooler days. Overall great experience, super friendly staff and fab quality food. Recommend the Avo on GF bread, the Laksa, bacon and eggs on toast, and all the GF cakes haha.

Amy Jefferies

Amazing service today- such a nice lady Catered to all our dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, allergic to garlic and onion) Definitely recommend going for high tea- delicious array of food and a good amount too. Will be going back!

My food was lovely and delicious. The Spanish waiter was very friendly and provided great service. However, our experience was concerning and I am giving a one star. My sister is gluten free. She ordered the gnocchi which says gluten free on the dinner menu. We understand you cannot cater to coeliacs, but it very clearly stated gluten free and not 'on request' or anything. After fully consuming the meal, paying and reading the receipt, it said 'Main gnocchi- NOT GF' in capitals like that. We went back in and the staff member (girl with reddish hair and glasses) mentioned that they had run out of gluten free pasta and were only serving gluten pasta. This is very concerning as we were not told by any staff member. She handled it very badly, no apology at all. She blamed us as we didn't tell them we needed it gluten free. However, we were comfortable and had peace of mind with what the menu so clearly stated. She also said "it's not like she's going to die" instead of at least apologising (please train the girl in customer service skills because that was pretty mean, insensitive and ignorant). We understand you don't want to reprint all the menus until the GF pasta is back, but you need to inform anyone who is ordering that meal, for safety. Please please train your staff better, especially on menu knowledge. They need more attention to detail. I work in hospitality myself and something like this can be easily avoided. If you're changing ingredients, inform all your staff and teach them to tell all customers upon arrival. This is super important. I am surprised even the chefs didn't confirm with the staff. Overall, very concerning as my sister may get sick now. I have attached screenshots of what it says on the menu.

Una O'Grady

I am a regular gluten free customer who sits eating their very late lunch with their cousin. I like this cafe. I fly in from Christchurch and I move in to the Aro St culture. Cafes, funky Op shop where you always buy something. The Aro St cafe has the best staff.

Veronica OGrady

Positive - the menu offered gluten free options and appreciated being able to eat safely as I am a celiac. Negative - for a beautiful Wellington day with women’s expo across at TSB and a cruise ship docked, the level of staffing was not right. Service was slow, with a rushed and harassed customer experience. Had to wait to be served, seated, order taken and food to be delivered. Even asking where our food was difficult because the server clearly thought everyone else waiting meant we shouldn’t query. She said she would go check but we never saw her again. For a simple order of two bowls of fried and cheesy bread and eggs on gf toast, it shouldn’t be a 30 min wait. Negative - our food eventually came out lukewarm. So it had been cooked but sitting somewhere waiting for a server to bring out. The chips looked amazing but barely warm. My eggs on gf toast was terrible. The gf toast was as hard as a rock and no butter on it. I feel ripped off that such a simple dish was served below average and not worth the money I spent on it. The outdoor seating area was messy with uncleared dishes and food waste on the ground. It wasn’t a welcoming place to eat and I’d be hesitant to take my family there again.

Lynda Robertson

Mostly dairy free, gluten free choices and yummy

Oberzocker 511

Cozy little coffee off Statehighway 1 shortly after Wellington. The coffee shares the same driveway than the plantshop. Has plenty of parking, Gluten-free options.Tasty food and coffee, friendly staff and fast service. Certainly worth the detour and worth it, reasonable prices too. Cheers

Kelly Gray

Was a nice time, only issue is some Gluten-free items were stored under gluten containing goods, and some next to gluten containing goods with no devider, even baking paper between is a win. Make me a bit nervous to eat The coffee was nice, not burnt Nothing to rave about, the staff were happy and looked to be enjoying their very busy day 🙂 Very reasonably priced

Danielle Smith

Great spot. Friendly staff. My husband lived the muesli. Good smoothies and very helpful with coeliac diet. Recommended!

Tracy Lancaster

Average menu if you’re gluten free and totally inflexible on offering alternatives. Wouldn’t return.

Chenin Madden

Amazing gluten free toast and detox smoothie 😋

Adrian MacGregor

Great range of options, including lots of gluten free. Lovely being able to be outside (in the right weather) and service is prompt and thoughtful (kids food delivered first). Good coffee. Open for a good range of times, but probably best to book at peak times.

Pipl

Recently stopped to buy take outs coffees and added a salmon bagel to my order. Absolutely delicious! Great coffee too and many gluten free options.

Derek Bond

Great gluten free bread

Jesse Drabble

Lots of gluten free options and I had no reaction which is awesome.

Daniel Barker

Had a very lovely lunch today. I had the fresh fish it was very delicious and my partner had the pasta very yummy as well. Lot of gluten free and dairy free options. Great to see that on the menu!

Debbie Stephens

Delicious gluten free bun burger and fries. $20 special.

Neil Mackenzie

great coffee and gluten free cookies

Donald Clark

An excellent addition to Brooklyn village - and worth a wee detour if you're going out. They grind their own beans on the premises and have retained a little of their Jamaican / Caribbean focus over the couple of years since they opened. The owners often work there are are awesome - some of the other staff are a little more variable. Selection of Gluten-Free treats and savouries. Toilets. No wi-fi.

Tara Chapman

Amazing burger both gluten free and vego

Maya Adler

Lovely people and fantastic food. The ribs were huge and delicious. Smoky and tender but still with a bit of bite which is my preference. BBQ sauce wasn’t too sweet either and gripped to the ribs well. The pickle dip was a great side to have with it. Lots of gluten free and even veggie options. Highly recommend ☺️

Lisa

Fantastic food, cocktails and service. Several gluten free options on the menu. Really appreciated modifications for my dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!

Ike

First time here and really enjoyed it. We came I for a quick bite, which turned into pizza, beer, and a game of jenga! There was a really good selection of beers, and the music and atmosphere was good. There was a good selection of pizza too, and liked that they could all be done gluten free. However, I did think that there were limited side options, which seemed odd as there was an option to have a choice of 3 sides for a fixed rate. We enjoyed our pizza, but it did come with extra toppings which we'd asked not to have. There was also no half-and-half option for pizza. Despite this, I would be happy to go there again!

Mark Hackshaw

Good food but they charge like a wounded bull if you change anything. . Went there today .gluten free bread. $1 extra. Per slice Soy in coffee. $1 extra. For how many mill? About 20 or 30. A whole packet about 2o times that size and few dollars only. And same when I was given 50 mill of oat milk for Granola. Took the yoghurt away and changed another dollar for the milk. Really guys??

Margaret Crisp

Great food. Lots of gluten free options. Wonderful art deco decor and the toilets are amazing!

Pippy B

You must try here, the food was delicious with a very generous portions. I loved that there was goat on the menu, but lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well. The momos are a must try. There were also many gluten-free options. You order your food on a tablet that the service staff gave you, this won’t be for everyone, but I adored it, I love winter is used and the right way.
