The most incredible gluten and dairy free waffle cones. I also had their ice cream sandwich and they make the creamiest dairy free ice cream. Definitely worth checking out. It's 100% gluten free🙌🏻
We we disappointed in the quality of the food on this visit. We had 2 hybrid combos, both came with badly burnt kumera fries. The egg on one burger was burnt and the bacon on the other burger. We also ordered a gluten free burger which was fine apart from the bread was so stale that my partner rated it the worst burger she ever had.
We frequent this store fairly regularly and have not experienced this before, so I called to see what they would say about the quality of the meal. Unfortunately I got a machine as they were too busy to take the call.
Not Impressed all, there are plenty of other options for take out, I may not go back after this as there is nothing fun about having takeout at home and it being yuck!
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with delicious options that cater to various dietary needs, making it a must-visit spot in Tauranga!

the gamberia pasta was absolutely beautiful, aswell as the cubano cocktail. being gluten & dairy free, it’s hard for me to come across restaurants that have my dietary options but the staff was excellent. will definitely visit again for dinner when I’m back at the mount.
With a dedicated fryer and knowledgeable staff, this spot offers a delicious twist that keeps patrons coming back for more.

My daughter has been here many times raving about their "Reuben" and hash sticks, it's her ultimate favourite, the kind that puts a smile on a teenager! 😀 I now see why! Although I had the single burger & hash sticks, it was delicious & her Reuben left me wanting to come back & try it out for sure! Some menu items cater to dairy free & gluten free too (bonus)! Staff super lovely & cute place. Highly recommend 🙌💓
Lively spot with a bustling atmosphere, offering a diverse menu and quick service, perfect for a casual outing.

Beautiful food, but prices very high for a pub atmosphere that was super noisy and loud. Was good to see gluten-free and dairy free and vegan options listed. There may have been quieter tables further back, but we didn't ask.
Cozy spot perfect for a warm brunch escape on chilly days, though the outdoor seating could use some heating for comfort.

Loved that the cabinet had lots of nice gluten free options, esp nice for brunch. It was a freezing cold rainy Saturday lunch and it was not overly busy. The inside area was toasty warm, but the outside covered area was very cold and could benefit from some gas heating as it was an excellent spill over space. A few of our coffee orders got messed up, but the drinks were tasty. A handy place to hang out after a cold netball game.
Known for fantastic specials and unique offerings, this spot consistently impresses with its delicious meals and attentive service.

Highly recommend this Cafe, especially for coeliacs. Lovely staff. Knowledgeable about coeliac disease. Appetizing menu! Omelets were delicious and huge! Great value for money. Coffee was good. We will be going back.
A cool farmhouse vibe with standout dishes, though occasional menu changes and price hikes might surprise regulars.

Usually this place is fantastic all the time, so maybe lots of new staff on and also new menu, so for me being gluten-free and dairy free: I struggled to find something. Prices also appeared to have jumped by $4-5, which was also a surprise. But hey don't let this put you off, it's usually awesome

I used to love the gluten free seeded sourdough and it was sold fresh. In fact if it was not baked that morning it was half price. Now I'm finding that the Tauranga and Mount Maunganui bakeries are selling old bread. Even today I went to pick up what I thought was a today's bake in Tauranga only to check the expiry dates. One was two days away and the other four. The assistant couldn't even answer when I queried why the supposed fresh breads had two different use by dates and why it wasn't today's bread. The Mount Maunganui branch was selling week-old bread last time I went there. So I will find another provider.
My 13yo son, who is coeliac, went up to the counter and asked if the iced chocolate is gluten-free. The two girls behind the counter laughed at him and ridiculed him for asking - asking him if he was "feeling funky" - AND did not check to see if it was, saying we're pretty sure chocolate is fine. We will not be back.
Enjoy quick service and a cozy atmosphere that keeps people coming back for more.

Disappointed that there weren't any vegan options, (no meat and dairy products). There was vegetarian and gluten free options though. Us being vegan, just had a drink.
Good service and nice burgers. They have a surprising number of vegan and gluten free burgers and sides (including vegan/gf buns). It's great for vegans and non-vegans.
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with fresh, delicious offerings and a creative cocktail selection that keeps guests coming back for more.

We had a fabulous night at the special Bastille Day quiz dinner at Solera. The food, wine and atmosphere was superb. Will definitely come again. My sister had gluten and dairy issues which were handled really well 😀

Always happy with the takeaways. I have coeliac disease so can’t eat gluten and the curries and phad Thai can be made gluten free. We also ordered a vegan curry which has a nice selection of veggies. The staff are always warm and friendly. I would highly recommend :)
Reasonably priced dinner spot with a unique grilled pork noodle salad that leaves a tasty impression.

A delicious and reasonably priced place for dinner. I got the grilled pork on the noodle salad, apparently according to the menu and the man on the phone this meal including the spring roll is gluten free. I was a bit skeptical and felt a little bit sick that evening, so I would triple check if I were severely gluten intolerant. Otherwise was delicious 😍

honestly one of the best pizza places i’ve been to…as a gluten free person they provided really well and made sure to be careful with the food to not contaminate. had some great chats. all round loved it
My new favourite place in the Mount. It has a rustic decor and atmosphere. They have quite a few vegan and gluten free options including a huge burger and fries. We had live Jazz music on a Sunday evening. Couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.
Would recommend 100% beautiful, food made just for you be it gluten free and or dairy free (which I personally find extremely hard to find) they will even do extra mild for kids and those of us who can't handle it. They always remember my name and order, with a little catch up well waiting for our takeaways.
A cozy spot that's improved lately, offering a nice vibe and various options, but be mindful of potential booking issues.

Edit April 2023. Ok, definitely back to 5 stars. The food was amazing with several vegan and gluten free options. Service was friendly and was a nice atmosphere. So they have sorted out the problems mentioned below and I'm happy to recommend Viet Lane.
Edit Feb 2023. Very disappointed that my booking was confirmed via email and then I got a call about a 1/2 hour later to say they have had to cancel my booking as they are full. I feel they need to improve their systems so I don't get a confirmation that they can't honour.
Previous review from 2022
Very nice food. They have a few vegan and gluten free options. The service was not great. We had to wait quite a while for drinks to arrive and then one of the mains seemed to have been forgotten and there was no check made. We had to ask for it while the rest of the group waited.
Really disappointed. I ordered GF bread and waited ages for my food. Eventually came and I dived in, only for 5 minutes later the waitress to bring me gluten free bread on the side apologizing after I already had a few bites of the regular bread. So many waiters trying to help one table and orders were lost and so much confusion was caused. Food was not amazing and when leaving almost over charged because of their mistake and it was a public holiday and we were charged 15% surcharge but totally not worth it after this experience.
A hidden gem with unique flavors, great coffee, and a friendly vibe that makes you want to return for more tasty experiences.

My wife had heard about this place through a patient of hers and had sent me the link as a place we must try.
We finally got out there on lunchtime. My Coeliac wife was tempted by the Gluten Free sweet treats in the cabinet and I opted for a burger.
We were initially confused as to who was staff in their plain clothes, and there seemed to be quite a few of them, but they were very friendly and polite.
The food was exceptional. We really enjoyed the flavours in both the sweet and the burger, which were quite different to most places we visit.
The coffee was also really good.
We will gladly return to try other dishes on the menu.

A top class dinner experience. It totally emptied our pockets, but we left contented with full bellies. The waiting staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and were good to recommend options for Coeliacs.
The steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection.
