A local, love the ethos however twice now have had a GF scone resulting in a gluten reaction. Contamination somewhere in the process? Cannot be contributed to anything else as deliberately tested on the second occasion. Wont risk it again :-(
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!
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.
Had dinner here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the creative and interesting selection of burgers on the menu. They cater well to different dietary needs, with solid gluten-free and vegan options available, which was great to see.
The food itself was delicious—flavorful, satisfying, and served in good portion sizes. Pricing was reasonable for the quality, making it a good value overall.
The only downside was the atmosphere. The music was unusually loud for a dinner setting, more reminiscent of a rave than a restaurant. It made conversation difficult and took away from what could have been a more relaxed dining experience.
Stopped by for brunch at this cafe in Napier. The cafe was busy which is a good sign. The service was fast & friendly, and the food was very good including both sweet & savoury cabinet options for gluten free. A menu is available but we bought food from the cabinet, so can't comment on that except to say that the soup seemed popular as they sold out of both options.
Lots of outdoor seating, lots of pies my mince and cheese pie was very good, and had some gluten free sandwiches. Has a milk bar feel about it rather than a cost cafe.
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.
Glad we found this delectable cafe before we left town. Out of everywhere we visited this week this one's was the best.
Coffee was delicious , eggs Benedict with salmon and the big breakfast. Staff were attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Loved bring by the seaside and how modern this cafe is. Definitely recommend a visit.
My sidekick said the gluten free bread was the best he’s ever tasted. It’s made on site and looks delicious!
Food was delicious and the staff were very aware of coeliac and cross contamination. I had no reaction to the food and it was one of the best GF sandwiches I’ve ever had. It wasn’t a dedicated kitchen but they were very careful with preparing the meal and making sure there was no cross contamination.
Had a very pleasant coffee experience here in the past. This time came with Dad for afternoon tea. I am neither gluten averse nor vegan, but their Carrot Cake offering for those that are was most excellent. Lots of that nutty carrot cake texture, and a well balanced flavour. Perhaps if the otherwise excellent icing was slightly less sweet? The Booster smoothie was top tier, and something I'd happily order again. The great taste while still containing Spinach meant I felt healthier with every delicious sip.
My Father gave the veggie quiche an impressive 8/10, which is extreme praise from a man who can complain about anything. When pushed to elaborate, he stated "it was very nice". High praise indeed. We'll be back.
We asked them but they weren't able to offer any gluten free options for our son or vegan options for someone else in our group, so we went elsewhere that was willing to provide something they could eat.
Great spot to sit outside with friends in the large shady yard. Good selection of gluten free food, and dog friendly as well. Looking forward to coming back next time we're in Napier.
Our child has celiac disease and therefore needs gluten-free food. The staff really went out of their way to get our child something to eat, even though the gluten-free rolls were out of stock or out of stock.
