High quality food, made and stored in a safe environment, well separated from non-gf items. We’re happily surprised by the variety and how beautiful all things looked. One of the best bakeries I’ve been in NZ so far.

Absolutely amazing! I was taking to the staff and she said that all their gf products are stored, made and baked separately. They had an accident about 5 years ago where someone accidently grabbed a non gf product thinking it was GF and she got really sick. Ever since they've been very careful and everything is individually labeled as GF and stored/served separately. They have an EXCELLENT cabinet range (both sweet and savoury) and the food is delicious 😋

Excellent smashed avo on gf toast with a poached egg. Also had to sample the peanut slice. All labelled gf but let them know it’s an allergy and they clean the tongs. Great food and no reaction.

The food was amazing! Multiple options marked on the menu. Display case had rows of gf items that were delicious. I was disappointed that they had sold out of gf doughnuts when we got there at 11:30am - go early!

Only potential problem was that we ordered 2 scrambled eggs, 1 gf and 1 not, and there was nothing to mark them. Waitress had to confirm with kitchen.

Def worth a stop!!!

This place is great and like others have said the donuts are amazing. The staff are really good and asked if the Eggs Benedict I ordered were for Celiac which is good. I will definitely be going back when I'm next in Taupo.

Most delicious GF donuts!!! I have not tasted such delicious donuts in my 12yrs of being coeliac. GF Banana banoffee was gobbled up by my non GF Husband, who gave it a thumbs up. Bacon & egg tart, the inside was delicious but typical gf pastry on outside, bit doughy for my taste. I will be going back for a different flavour donut tomorrow!🤭

On the back of reading other reviews we chose to stop here for my teenage Coeliac son and I on our road trip over Christmas. The food looked amazing and tasted just as good. As per other reviews, I highly recommend the gf donuts and the Banoffi Pie. The corn fritters were the best I have ever tasted. We loved it so much we stopped there again on our way back home.

Such a great experience. One of the staff members I spoke to was coeliac herself, and assured me she had never had a problem eating there. Gave me so much confidence! They cleaned the milk steamer for me in case had been used for oat milk. As stated in other reviews, gf food both sweet and savory is on different cabinet shelves and is delicious :)
