Incredibly well-managed and very good service at a locally-owned restaurant that truly knows their stuff with keto, coeliac-safe, low FODMAP and other nutritional needs. In two years of living locally and eating here monthly or at least quarterly, we’ve never had a problem with an order nor a bad experience.
One of my go-to cafes with my partner – we’ve been here so many times and it never disappoints!
The gluten-free bagel is absolutely delicious – great texture and flavour.
But the highlight has to be the waffle fried chicken with honey sriracha syrup… sweet, spicy, crispy – just perfect.
Everything looks as good as it tastes – definitely a great spot if you love taking food pics 📸
friendly service, and tasty food every time. Highly recommended!
Ok I’ve passed this place 1,000s of times but have never eaten here. Man I’ve been sleeping because it’s sooo delicious.
I ordered the fried chicken poke bowl that was already gluten free, because I cannot pass up on gluten free fried chicken. UGH this was delicious. The sweet sauce they had on it, the half avo, the generous ginger, the chicken was crunchy. Could’ve had more rice, but overall, so delicious.
We sat outside in the sun which was lovely, and sheltered from the wind. My daughter enjoyed the little playground down below. We also ordered fries on the side that were crunchy and delicious.
Cabinet food also looked good - mainly sweet stuff and a lovely Carmel gluten free slice. But I was too full to order it.
Would come again 10/10.
I was a bit stressed having to get some good take away gluten free food for my son in law.
They were so busy and I went to walk out.
I was encouraged to check the second menue and to do an order it would be like a 10 minute wait. Great service.
I was also given a glass of water.
Back to day for the same but 2 of them.
If you're hunting for the best pizza in North Shore, look no further! This restaurant offers an exceptional array of pizzas, each boasting a perfect balance of toppings and a divine sauce that complements the crispy crust wonderfully. What truly sets them apart is their gluten-free base—an absolute game changer. It's as delicious as their regular base, ensuring that everyone gets to enjoy their incredible pizzas without compromise. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly, making each visit as enjoyable as the pizza is delicious. A must-visit for any pizza aficionado!
Great food as always. Have been a fan of their Mt Eden store for many years but living on the Shore it was a bit of a drive. But Takapuna is perfect, great parking, super friendly staff and allergen knowledgeable. It's perfect if you're dining with people who are gluten free or dairy free or low carb (or another allergy) as they can easily customise the dishes. So many options and always delicious!
Had a lovely dining experience here recently - made extra special by the care and amazing service from our waitress, Lina. Thanks Lina!
I’m coeliac, so I ordered a gluten free vege burger and fries (which are fried in a separate gluten free fryer). Big thanks to the team for taking the extra precautions to ensure it was safe for me to eat at Butger Burger Takapuna. I’ll be back!
A light and bright atmosphere, lovely staff, everything made on site including juice drinks, corn chips, tortillas, flan and salsa. Everything is Gluten Free!! Fresh and yummy. 😋 a Mexican fan must!
We went for an early coffee. We'd have eaten, but there was nothing gluten-free available. No worries, they don't market themselves as GF.
The coffee was superb, and the little fellow's hot chocolate was enjoyed.
As we were leaving, we noticed the Dog's Menu!
Super impressed!
Next time I'll bring my princess too!
It's a bit chilly otherwise good. I adore there Gluten Free chocolate cake and they endevour to get it to the customers as quick as possible. Over all very good and Allergy friendly with the food they make.
Despite the gluten free menu shown on their website, it is now out of date and very few options are gluten free (pink menu pictured is what's actually there, not what's on website). Visited April 12 2025 and several food options on menu just not available.
Staff are trying hard but just nowhere near enough of them to cope.
Chicken was burnt on outside, pink on the inside and dangerous to eat - the staff refunded the meal without fuss but I recommend you cut into your chicken and check before eating.
No glasses or water jugs available (insufficient dish staff, I suspect) so we made do with what looked like jam jars to drink from.
We came to Fika for a spur of the moment brunch and I am so glad we did. The food, staff, and atmosphere were brilliant even on a rainy day. Lots of gluten free and dietary options. The French bread was delicious and the coffee was one of the best I have had from a cafe in a while. Best to make a reservation - we got lucky and got a free table but it was packed the entire time
Wonderful food - especially the Tapas, and so happy they catered for my gluten free options with a menu showing GF. So friendly staff, and perfect before a show
OK I need to start with the positive. The venue was clean and welcoming and seats were available on a Saturday morning at 11am. The wait staff were super attentive and helpful. The reason I say it's only OK, is that as a person whom is food intolerant there were no easily visible options on the menu ie Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten or Dairy Free. Sorry guys I did expect the suburb of Devonport to be a bit more on to it. Having said that they altered my choosen meal to adapt, but Eggs Benedict is not the same without the sauce!!
Good coffee, excellent hot chocolate. I've had several things on the menu now and it's all been delicious and the service is a consistently high standard. The gluten free brownie is a bit of a mission but is goooood.
I love this cafe! What I am most impressed by is their range of gluten free food available in the cabinet. Instead of the usual standard options - either a brownie or an orange cake, they have different slices and even a cheesecake on offer. Their coffee is also really good. The service was lovely and the interior and exterior is a nice all-round vibe. Love this little gem and always make a visit when I'm in Devonport.
Absolutely sensational! 100% vegan and full on flavour !! We have been to the Ponsonby store many times and loved it, the Milford one did not disappoint! A few gluten-free options :)
We got the drunken noodles, thai beef salad, and the pork belly stir fry! All so delicious 😊
Thanks Khukhu team! We will be back 🍜
Our server was so lovely, catered to my partners gluten intolerance when we were interested in a particular dish that wasn't listed as Gluten-free. The food was delicious, and the chicken was cooked just right and was juicy. Absolutely loved how cozy the place is and we were happy with the GF options available. They have delicious looking food to-go safely displayed in a cabinet that they bring out on to the street during the day, it all looks very affordable also.
Proberley the nicest place I have had breakfast.pleasant staff ,tasty food.catering for people with gluten intolerance.and a choice of indoors.covered deck or outdoors.
I love my burgers, i really enjoyed their burger. Nice snack size rather than a meal, if you like Kumara Fries then you could have that with, personal, not me but that's preference.
My partner is coeliac, and they were really good with the gluten free options, wider variety as well. Will be coming back

I was surprised how busy it was on Monday night after 9pm. Had a Sundae and realized why are they so busy 😄. Really amazing flavors we had a salted caramel and peanut butter cookie dough.
Stellar selection of Vegan and Dairy Free/Gluten Free ice creams. The Vanilla Passionfruit, Blood Orange Sorbet.the prices were much better than other, nearby, places. I will definitely be returning in the future!
BBQ pork skewers, cauliflower, and braised short rib were absolutely delicious. Catered for gluten free/celiac, well informed which was greatly appreciated.
Celiac friendly
