The Best 100% Gluten-Free Bakeries in Melbourne
Melbourne is known for its vibrant food scene, and this extends to the growing selection of gluten-free options available throughout the city and the surrounding suburbs. If you’re someone like me (a coeliac) who needs to avoid gluten or simply prefers gluten-free food, you’re in luck! The city now has a number of dedicated gluten-free bakeries that are not just accommodating but are passionate about creating delicious treats without compromising on flavor.
Whether you’re after a decadent dessert, a savoury treat, or even a gluten-free loaf of bread, these 100% gluten-free bakeries in Melbourne are guaranteed to satisfy your cravings. Here’s a roundup of the best spots in town, and the ones I’ve personally visited so far.
1. Kudo Bakery
The small but thriving Kudo is a safe haven for coeliacs and the only dedicated gluten-free bakery in the Melbourne CBD. Kudo offers a wide variety of gluten-free breads 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 two weeks to buy a fresh loaf of sourdough—not great for my wallet, but my taste buds are always happy!
