The Organic Republic Bakery

The verdict

Gluten-freedom fighters, rejoice! This is one democracy that welcomes you with open arms. This bustling corner bakery churns out delicious wheat-free loaves that banish the chewy gluten-free cardboard of yesteryear from existence. From Monday to Sunday, take a break from the nearby ocean waves and feast on the pizza slice of the day, or excellent paninis stuffed with colourful salad greens. Sweets get a good look in too – if you're lucky enough, nab an almond croissant, spelt scone, or sticky-glazed fruit bun. Oh yes, and did we mention it's all organic?
