Gluten Free in Whakatane - Baxters Cafe

(North Shore, Auckland)

Having been a Coeliac for the past 10 years and often having only to settle for a coffee when away travelling, I was really excited to find that when visiting the Bay of Plenty area and during a days stop at Whakatane,we came across Baxters Cafe at 208 The Strand, Whakatane.

On entering the cafe I notice a sign above the first food cabinet stating they served a range of GF muffins and scones and had recently introduced GF Nachos, I was in heaven.

On asking at the counter what sort of muffins were available the assistant bought out a large tray of lovely large GF muffins from the freezer. I chose a Raspberry one and when it arrive at our table it proved to be absolutely delicious having been heated and served with butter.

I would recommend a stop over for anyone in the Whakatane area or to any traveller for a morning tea stop. Also the Staff were very friendly.

Well done Baxters Cafe.
