Per-allergen evidence
The GF Depot operates as a dedicated gluten-free cafe with its own kitchen, equipment, and fryer. Staff receive training on gluten allergy knowledge. The owner states that the kitchen only prepares gluten-free food. A reviewer noted a now-deleted Instagram post about using "GF oats," which cannot be labelled gluten-free in New Zealand. Another review mentions that "non-gf items" are available, creating some uncertainty. The original Depot restaurant (not The GF Depot) has a shared kitchen and is not dedicated gluten-free, but staff there are knowledgeable and will mark menus for coeliac diners.
