Continue reading to discover some of my favourite spots in town — and check back often, as I’ll keep updating this list as I visit more places!

1. Kudo Bakery – CBD

The small but thriving Kudo is a safe haven for coeliacs and the only dedicated gluten-free bakery in Melbourne’s CBD. It’s a great place to stop in for a coffee and a snack — or even lunch — if you’re meandering through the city’s laneways.

Kudo offers a wide variety of gluten-free breads, toasties, and sweet treats, from a gluten-free sourdough (it’s so good, you wouldn’t even know it’s not the real thing!) to delicate canelés and savoury tarts (the potato one is my favourite when it’s available).

Kudo’s commitment to gluten-free excellence is clear in every bite. I love Kudo so much that I stop by every few weeks to buy a fresh loaf of sourdough—not great for my wallet, but my taste buds are always happy!

2. Glazed Gluten Free Patisserie – Elsternwick

The Coeliac Australia Accredited Glazed Gluten Free Patisserie offers everything from savoury pies and breads to mouthwatering cakes and muffins. All of their breads are not only gluten-free, but also vegan and free from dairy, nuts and soy. 

Glazed Gluten Free Patisserie uses the highest quality ingredients and the freshest produce. Their spinach and cheese puff pastry and pão de queijo are to die for (I always grab these when I pop in)! Whether you’re after a quick snack or a custom cake for a special occasion, Glazed Gluten Free Patisserie has got you covered.

If you’ve got a car, it’s well worth the drive to Glazed — especially if you’re heading to the beach and want to pick up some gluten-free goodies on the way!

4Me Gluten Free is another dedicated gluten-free bakery also located in Elsternwick that has earned a loyal following for its high-quality products.

4. Regretless – Low Carb Pleasure – CBD

While not technically a bakery, if you’re after something a bit more innovative, the diabetic-friendly Regretless – Low Carb Pleasure cafe offers gluten-free desserts with a twist. Known for their Thai milk tea crepe cake, tiramisu, and “chaffles,” Regretless takes familiar desserts and gives them a gluten-free, low-carb spin.

When I visited, I tried the strawberry and cream chaffle — a low-carb, keto-friendly take on the traditional waffle, typically made with cheese and eggs. I was intrigued by the unique combination, though I found it a little on the sweet side.

The next time I visit, I’ll be trying their highly-rated tiramisu. I’ll definitely be back!
