Balls and Bangles

I was glutened a few days ago but can’t be sure it was from here. The guy used fresh tongs for the gluten free donut and assured me it was safe, but honestly, it wasn’t that good :/ very dry and the cream was fake and flavourless

There were GF bagels, however the bagel itself was a bit small and the fillings on the option we chose was pretty underwhelming. Bacon salty.

Amazing service! Asked if it can get toasted in the same toaster or different! Understood what celiac is and wrote on the docket for the people preparing “celiac!!!”. Highly recommend them!!

Really tasty bagel, I had the breakfast one. Staff were knowledgable. I also had the gluten free doughnut which was average. But it’s great to see they’re offering a gf doughnut.

Love the gluten free sandwiches here. They ask if you have celiac so that they can prepare them in a separate toaster

This place was so good that I ate here twice on my recent trip to Queenstown. The Vegan Burgel reminded me of a gluten free, vegan Big Mac. The staff was very knowledgeable and ensured that my order was celiac safe.

Kind of disappointed after reading the other reviews. The girl said they could toast a bagel separately and I asked about the breakfast sandwiches but they use the same prep area for everything (all the sandwich stuff sits directly underneath baskets of regular bagels) so I opted for just a GF bagel with cream cheese. I asked if they use a different container of cream cheese to avoid cc and the guy working there rolled his eyes. The bagel was good and I didn’t get sick but I’d stick to something simple there if you’re sensitive. I also had a better experience getting a breakfast sandwich at fergburger down the street

Had a bagel and my first gluten free doughnut(see picture attached). The staff were friendly and asked me if I wanted my bagel warmed up separately or not. Would definitely recommend!

Had an amazing BLT bagel. When I asked for the gf bagel they checked if I was celiac and then prepared mine out the back, separate to the other bagels. Great service

Gluten free bagels and donuts!! I ordered a BLT bagel gf and our server asked if it was for coeliac so they didn’t put through the regular toaster. They wore clean gloves and I could see they were very careful about preparing and wrapping separately. My bagel came out clearly marked as coeliac BLT. Super tasty! The rest of my gluten family thoroughly enjoyed their bagels too.

Balls and Bangles provide gluten free bagels with a dedicated coeliac safe preparation area. They are very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Many bagel items on the menu are able to be made with a gluten free bagel.
