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.

The staff were very careful with our order, we had a coeliac and a lactose intolerant. Unfortunately one of our party had forgotten their mask, and a member of staff offered to get them a spare. Which was very kind. We also enjoyed the burgers alot too. Will definitely come again.

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.

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.

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 there on a public holiday. No booking for lunch. 8 people. The place was busy. They offered us a place in the garden but said we would be a bit cramped around the table. I all worked out and we had a great time there. Almost all ordered the fish and chips at $32 a plate! Wow was it worth it! Everyone said it was the best fish and chips thy had in ages. Very generous portions of fish. Thy even did a gluten and dairy free plate too. No issues. Probably should have shared the plates, but everything was finished. We had a great white wine with our meal but I must admit I forgot witch one. Paid the 15% surcharge without any issues. Hope to go back 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!

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.

New to Napier and thought I'd give this place ago. It was so genuinely good in every way! Food was amazing, staff were friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend giving this place a go if you like the new york style pizza! Update* Almost 2 years later, this has become one of the best locals I've had, fantastic food, fantastic staff and in general just a great vibe. If you haven't been, you have to (if you're gluten/dairy free, im so sorry for your inability to experience this).
