We cater to all dietary concerns, so anyone can enjoy a meal in our café... even those lucky enough not to have any concerns! Read on to find out about some of our unique ingredients that pack so many health benefits and flavours.
Baking
Our cakes, muffins, desserts and biscuits are sweetened with honey, rice malt, maple syrup or raw sugar. We also use rice bran oil to promote healthy heart function and regulate cholesterol levels. We mainly bake with coconut, rolled oats, nuts, dried fruits, almond meal and wholemeal spelt. Of course we also have a few classic New Zealand treats baked on white flour.
Dietary Needs
We cater for dietary needs and requests for foods to be made without gluten, sugar, eggs, dairy etc. We take great care to ensure special dietary requests are met; however it is always possible that traces of these ingredients may be found. We also offer keto-friendly cafe items & catering.
Tea
We offer over 25 sorts of loose leaf tea. The majority from T2 but we also have some fantastic NZ local herbal teas on offer.
Vegan Options
We offer a large selection of vegan items in cakes, lunch and breakfast. Equally we are happy to help tailor a meal for you should you fancy something else. We do not label items containing honey as vegan. Our fryer is vegan.
Milk
We have plenty of milk options for your coffee, tea, smoothie, or muesli. Choose from full cream, trim, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or soy.
Grains, Nuts and Seeds
We love using nuts, such as almond meal, for many of our gluten free cakes. Nuts are full of high quality protein, fibre and heart healthy fats. They are also low in carbs, rich in complex carbohydrates and gluten free. In addition, nuts cleanse and exfoliate your digestive tract and provide your body with a wide range of vitamins, minerals and Omega 3.
Gluten Free
We do not add gluten to foods that do not require it. Additionally we are happy to swap bread to gluten free without an extra charge. Please let us know when ordering if you are celiac so we can take extra precaution. Our fryer is gluten free.
The 80/20 Diet
The principle behind the 80/20 rule is simple: Eat nutritious foods 80 percent of the time, and allow yourself to indulge in your favourite treats the other 20 percent of the time. This balance will ensure a healthier & happier you.
