Always had really good service when we’ve been to Meow. Love the retro decor. They have the best fries.

Poor experience all around.
Cold coffee, tasteless gluten free lamb pie (from the cabinet), decidedly average eggs benedict. The place was quiet (Sat 1pm) yet there was no table service. Had been to Meow a few times in the past which were great experiences. Will not be going back again.

The counter food looked promising, we ordered and waited….. and waited…and waited…we had to get a refund because the service just took too long.
Viewers: note the downhill slide in service dated from 2009- 2011 – change of ownership perhaps?
There are plenty of cafes in NZ that can serve twice the amount of customers in the same time. Perhaps the manager needs to hire a barista to support current staff (note large floor area, rainy afternoon and lots of coffee orders..not too many customers however) and also have some good systems in place to encourage returning customers. Remember a “regular customer” is a customer who has returned to an establishment just 3 times. The selling point of cafe-style Gluten free food should not warrant a great rating, customer service is also paramount. Meow- I will not be returning.

As a gluten-intolerant, this is a great place to eat at when you want a gluten-free meat pie. Their gluten free cakes and slices are also a plus. I like the retro surroundings too.

A problem for me is their slow service, particularly at lunch times when most diners only have an hour for lunch. They also need to be sure that gluten-free food is correctly labelled as such, and that staff are certain which food is gluten-free and which is not.

I would be sad though, if this cafe was not around, even though many other places are on the gluten-free band wagon now.

Having food several intolerances make it challenging to dine out, but Meow’s menu really accommodate people with food intolerances. I really like that the staff don’t get grumpy at me for asking if the food has some specific ingredients that I can’t have, they were understanding and if they didn’t know or not sure, they went inside to ask the chef.

Menu looks good, the place is unique and cozy. The food I got was okay. Would like to go back there to try more from their menu.

I guess the only annoying thing during my visit (for me) was the flies that were flying around and that during the time of my visit it felt a little gritty, some tables were cleared but weren’t cleaned. Though I noticed it got cleaned sometimes later.

HOWEVER, my friend who came with me that day weren’t so lucky, he was disappointed with his food and said that it tasted like they microwaved the food, and the pasta was undercooked and not fresh.
