Depot

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The GF Depot is a dedicated gluten-free cafe with its own kitchen, equipment, and fryer, and staff are trained on gluten allergy knowledge. The owner states the kitchen only prepares gluten-free food. However, a reviewer noted a now-deleted Instagram post about using 'GF oats' (which cannot be labelled GF in New Zealand), and one review mentions 'non-gf items' being available, creating some uncertainty. The original Depot restaurant (not The GF Depot) has a shared kitchen and is not dedicated gluten-free, but staff are knowledgeable and will mark menus for coeliac diners.

Honest caveat: A reviewer reported a now-deleted Instagram post about using 'GF oats', which cannot be labelled GF in New Zealand, raising questions about the venue's understanding of coeliac disease.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The GF Depot offers 3–5 vegan dishes including toasties, pancakes, and Asian-inspired tofu items. The menu is clearly marked for vegan options and staff are described as knowledgeable about vegan requirements. However, the kitchen is not dedicated vegan and cross-contamination with non-vegan items is possible.
