Delicious food and drink, come here every time I’m in Auckland. Dedicated gf, however some dishes have oats. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Excellent food and drinks with fresh and fun flavor combos (e.g. iced strawberry matcha, chickpea and kimchi pancakes). Basically everything is gluten free, just some of the pastries/dishes containing oats may not be celiac friendly.

The chocolate orange waffle is incredible! I got it early in the trip and couldn't wait to get it a second time. The smoothies are delicious, too.

This is one of my favorite restaurants! Staff told us the whole menu was gluten-free, but they use oats in some of their baked goods so ask questions if you want to avoid GF oats too.

Delicious 100% GF place. Our go to brunch spot — highly recommend the kumara pancakes and the waffles.

There appears to be some confusion, with other reviews saying this isn’t 100%. They do have oat porridge on site, but I’ve been told with confidence that the oats are GF and that there is no cross contamination in case there are coeliacs who can’t eat even GF oats (I am one of them). Therefore this is indeed 100% GF.

NOT dedicated GF when we visited (e.g. bread options that were separately labeled GF alongside ones that weren't on the menu). Menu not marked (either that it was dedicated GF or for what allergens were in dishes), but the staff was very knowledgeable and still felt totally safe eating here despite it being a bit confusing based of the reviews on FMGF. Had the waffles and they were by far the best GF waffles I have ever eaten, and the most beautifully plated as well!

Had a kimchi pancake meal here which was incredible! And my boyfriend had a kumara hotcake. Everything is gluten free except for the items that includes oats as they are “may contain gluten”. They also have their own pantry staples and bread that you can purchase, and their cabinet stuff has such a great range. Would definitely recommend coming here in your own or with a friend! It is quite small, so be prepared to wait on a day where it’s busy or come in during off peak hours. Staff are lovely also :)

Dedicated gluten free restaurant just off the main shopping street. They don’t recommend the products with oats if you’re celiac but do mention they’re wheat free oats. We had truffles, smoothies and a milkshake and everything was delicious! They do have meals as well :)
