OMG! Decadent Donuts
OMG! Decadent Donuts is a standout in Melbourne’s gluten-free scene. The brand has gained national recognition for its inclusive treats.
Their donuts are Coeliac Australia certified, vegan, and free from gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, and artificial additives. Flavours like Spicy Ranga (ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, cloves) and Dusty Queen (orange and cinnamon) have even won gold and silver at the Baking Association of Australia Awards.
I’m a basic person and a creature of habit, so my go-to is usually the classic cinnamon. But honestly, when has a hot cinnamon donut ever been boring?! I’ve usually lucked out and found their stall at Queen Vic Market and annual events like the Big Vegan Market. Check out their website to see where they’ll pop up next—you won’t want to miss them!
