This one’s dedicated to all the gluten-intolerant bread and pastry lovers. Let’s be honest, the supermarket selection of gluten-free baked goods can be, well, uninspiring. Thankfully, we have a good handful of specialty gluten-free bakeries in Melbourne/Naarm that are reducing celiac’s FOMO when it comes to being able to get their hands on fresh bread, pastries and desserts.
We want you to be the first in the know. Join Urban List Insiders, we’ll shoot you all Melbourne’s best things to eat, drink and do every week.
So without further ado, here are Urban List’s round up of the best gluten-free bakeries in Melbourne for 2025:

Deep in the northern suburbs is a gluten-free paradise, where everything on the menu is GF. We’re talking pizzas to parmas, focaccias, salads, toasties, donuts, schnitties and the muffins. Oh the muffins. Davies St. Food Co. was founded by Chef Aurey Kuhl who has a strong belief that everyone is entitled to the same delicious food, allergies or intolerances or not. Her philosophy of “all of the taste, none of the gluten” rings true and her small cafe slings ready made meals that are Coeliac Australia accredited, and is known as an "allegy specialist" in the cafe scene around Melboure. Kuhl even has a home delivery service that includes lasagne, bake at home parmas and a range of pies, and does large scale catering. Our hot tip? The raspberry and white choc muffin. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Every baked good that comes out of the Glazed oven is not only vegan but also gluten, soy and nut free. The specialist patisserie from an ex-Vue de monde chef, Liran Adika, focuses on sweet and savoury goods, with an ethos around cakes, desserts, and bread for those who are gluten intolerant, using organic ingredients and natural flavours. While Glazed offers a full gamut of gluten-free goods, it’s Adika’s signature Krembo that’s causing a stir. Think fluffy meringue, combined with a decadent biscuit but completely free of the G.
Butter Mafia
148 Arthurton Road, Northcote
Butter Mafia knows celiacs can be dessert obsessives too and their range of sweets is ready to cater to all your sugary but gluten-free cravings. Their signature bad boy brownies and peanut butter choc chunk cookies will be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Inside Kudo, there's a previously unimaginable selection of gluten-free treasures. Be it a matcha-infused canalé, pomelo chiffon cake, cream-filled choux pastry or even a pull-apart Mars Bar-style cookie with wattleseed, they've got it all. As impressive as the baked goods are, it's the bread here that's the star; foremostly the sourdough. For anyone who has sampled gluten-free bread, it's a tough act to emulate the real deal but it was just this creation that cemented Kudo.
Caffe Strada
197 Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe
If you’ve been hunting for gluten-free jam doughnuts, your prayers have been answered. Strada is baking all the goodies that are typically off-limits to the GF intolerant. Here you can bite into doughnuts and scrolls and rest assured that they’re 100% gluten-free.
