I was there an hour 40mins ago and bought brownie cheesecake slice and a Mince & Cheese pie which they heated up from cold for me, made today apparently. Together they cost me $17.50!!
There are no prices displayed so if you're going here expecting to be satisfied on a typical NZ bakery budget then think again, the gluten free premium is rife here.
Do note the lack of stars on this review reflects only on the pie of which I'm disappointed, I am half way through the pie now and I still haven't tasted the filling. For what I'm guessing is a $9 pie it's not up to par compared to much better pies in the Wellington region that are cheaper and packed to the brim with filling.
Speaking of which I've gotten to the filling at last and it tastes great but still no sign of cheese. Upon finishing the pie now my conclusion is there's less than 1 teaspoon of cheese in this pie.
Sorry guys but my experience of a most basic pie is lacklustre. Unlikely this review will directly affect your high rating but pie wanters should know what to expect.
Had a delicious brunch here when staying in Wellington. I'm gluten free and items were clearly marked on the menu, there was plenty to choose from. Service was very friendly and food was quick. Good value for money in my opinion as the servings were generous.
Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.
🫶🏻 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!
Such a cool spot on the corner of cuba! Great prices for generous portions and a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always lovely and so good about dietaries! I’m coeliac, dairy and nut free and feel very safe eating here (disclaimer: obviously there’s still risks!), would definitely recommend for vegans and vegetarians too! Only thing I’ve noticed after coming here a few times is the gluten free pasta can be way too salty at times. (Don’t think this is always the case but I think it might be from over salting the water as gf pasta absorbs so much more than regular pasta & it’s not the sauce that’s too salty).
Delicious food and drinks, fantastic service and a really cool vibe. Tonnes of gluten free options which is fantastic. A must if you’re a burger lover in Wellington!
My local cafe and possibly my favourite cafe ever. As a celiac they have an amazing range of gluten free options. The food and coffee are delicious and the staff are amazing and so friendly. It also feels like a really welcoming place to bring my kids; they have a box of toys and coloring in to offer. I go there often and can't recommend this place enough!
Impeccable food and service…highly recommended. Lots of celiac and gluten free options including really good gf Bread and house made butter. Every dish was something you’d look forward to enjoying again.
What a find
Food awesome lots of choice
amazing friendly and knowledgeable about menus
Gluten free options and had oat milk so all good
Would highly recommend this cafe
Ten out of Ten for me
The food was beautiful, the injera bread was awesome and the staff so kind. Nice to have a whole vegan menu and pretty much everything was gluten free. Will definitely be back!
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
Once again we had a great family birthday dinner. We shared 5 dishes amongst four of us. Two hungry teenagers. Asked for everything gluten free and it was brought out quickly. Prior our cocktails and mock tails were served. The food was great and great service. We will be back again soon

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!
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.
It was delightful. Thanks so much for the excellent service. Food was great, Gluten free options were mean and the kids were welcomed with smiles. That doesn't always happen!
We had a fantastic brekkie here and highly recommend this wonderful spot. Great menu with several coeliac-friendly options. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive to detail. I had the hot smoked salmon eggs Benedict and loved the GF bread used as the base. I only like super-hard poached eggs and these guys cooked them perfectly. The coffee (Havana) is great and the room has a funky and relaxed vibe, with a great outlook over Lyall Bay beach and the airport. You can watch planes and ferries come and go while you relax! We got a GF lemon and blueberry cheesecake to take away for later - absolutely delicious. We will be back next time we’re in Wellington!
Donut is INSANE! 🤤 Perfect coffee too!! all their food is really delicious 🤤🤤 it’s also gluten free, diary free and mostly vegan. They have nailed it. World class and in Kena Kena 💎💎 highly recommend
The best gluten free and vegan cheese pizzas that we have ever had!
The drinks were a great compliment to the entire menu!
We could not get over how delicious the food was!
If you're looking for a pizza night then you can go past here!
Great atmosphere inside with a nice outdoor area with 2 large outdoor heaters to keep you warm in the cold
We had a wonderful meal at Damascus on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was almost entirely full at 5:30 and we can understand why. I’m a coeliac who can’t have dairy so it’s not always easy to find places where I can eat and have choices. Damascus’ staff were friendly, the kitchen staff were absolutely awesome! We had a selection of small dishes and a large one. The food was beautifully presented, so incredibly tasty and came in a steady flow. We had a wonderful evening, thank you so much!
Never been here before and I will certainly make this my Otaki café of choice.
Amazing choice for gluten free folk, & eaters of all food!
Outside eating was my favourite under the shade of the trees.
Staff were attentive, delicious food was soon at our table.
As a really reactive coeliac, I’m always on the lookout for reviews that help me eat safely. I’d love to help out another coeliac! Fratelli was a lovely experience in all aspects! Staff were reassuring polite, and helpful on the phone, and catered for me beautifully. Attentive, polite, and knowledgeable service. Enjoyable atmosphere. Great wine. We ate here for 2 of the 3 nights we were in Wellington. Delicious pasta and pizza, plus sides. I didn’t experience any symptoms and felt secure that no cross contamination would occur. If we visit Wellington again, I’d be keen to go again! It’s rare to feel so safe and I’m frothing for how safe and lovely our evenings were! Thoroughly recommend.
For a colleagues farewell we had a group of 12 on a Wednesday evening from 6pm. They accommodated us with two booth type tables and it was very comfortable.
One diner is coeliac and when the order had a gluten item, staff didn't make a fuss when it was sent back politely. So that's really nice.
Service was friendly and efficient, clearing our table quickly and checking for drink or food orders often.
It wasn't too busy, nor too loud and the atmosphere was cosy. Paying at the end was simple and efficient, they operate their cashier system well.
All told for a large group dining experience I thought it was successful and staff did a great job. Thanks for a great night team.
Burger Wisconsin in Paraparaumu is hansdown the best takeaway food joint I have ever been to. Me and my family went for a road trip to Paraparaumu today and decided we would stop here for lunch straight of the bat as a young teen boy with a dairy allergy, I was treated with a friendly atmosphere with highly respectfull, kind, empathetic and understanding stuff. I was allowed to create my own burger that wasn't specifically on the menu that was gluten and dairy free, with staff double checking. The food was more than amazing and well worth the price, which may seem a little bit steap at first but let me tell you, for ingredients that are handmade right at the shop, dietary inclusivity and understanding and outstandingly tasty burgers it is well worth it. The only downside is the space of the restaurant being a little small and cramped which meant we had to do takeaway but that didn't bother us. It is safe to say I will be recommending burger wisconsin to my family and will definitely be returning to burger wisconsin when i return to Paraparaumu next.
A colleague from work recommended this restaurant.
The pumpkin dumplings were tasty, gluten free.
The tofu was delicious, soft inside.
We also had Pho, bao bun and summer rolls.
Delicious food, highly recommended.
Fair price, excellent service, clean.
