Top 50 Gluten-Free Cafes to Explore Across Australia

Taylah Anne

I visited Wednesday, 25th July, with my sister-in-law. We ended up ordering a few different things because there were so many delicious options to choose from – definitely not a bad problem to have! I moved to Melbourne four years ago and was diagnosed with coeliac disease almost three years ago. Since then, I’ve struggled to find certified coeliac-friendly cafes that offer cakes, pastries, and bread that don’t taste like cardboard. This place was a game-changer – their pastries and cakes are absolutely amazing, and the coffee was just as impressive! We’ll definitely be back for more!

Nice quiet Cafe, Partner is Gluten free, hence the visit, definitely worth it. Gluten free Toastie and Sausage roll, Lemon Tarte and choc chip biscuits, couldn’t tell they were GF. Great little find. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.

David Mccall

Gluten free food at its absolute best!

Damien Robinson

My partner and I always go t OK Samuel Pepys wenever we visit Launceston, as we know the whole menu (which is very extensive) she is able to have (Lactose and Gluten Free). Food, service and atmosphere is always top notch. Can't recommend highly enough. Especially for people who have the battle of finding places that cater for allergies.

I’ve been to Dough Street frequently due to it being so close and every time the food is absolutely delicious. Since being diagnosed coeliac 10+ years ago, one of the things I miss the most of tasting real - it’s a H&C croissant and these have never disappointed. Plus from the mouth of my non-coeliac 5 year old son ‘the sausages rolls are better than the servo ones’ 🤣

So many yummy sweet treat options!!! Completely dedicated Gluten free

Paula Peeps

Great egg and bacon sandwich !!

Cameron Andrew

Cute gluten-free cafe and bakery known for their donuts and brunch menu. Food is pricier than a typical bake shop but the quality more than makes up for it. A must-try even if you aren't on a gluten-free diet.

Christen Buman

The food was delicious. The gluten free pita for my giro was fabulous. I have Celiacs, so knowing the restaurant was accredited by Celiac Australia made me feel so confident eating at their restaurant. I would definitely go back.

Yao Wong

Pastries with Asian-inspired flavors. Apparently it's also gluten-free, although that wasn't a factor in my choice. Ordered a canele, which had a nice, thick crusty exterior and good rum flavor. The inside was on the fluffy/airy side vs gooey - not sure if that was due to the flour used or just their style. It's a cute, compact store - would pop in again for a quick treat.

Lucy Robson

The coffee tastes like a cup of Columbia, yummy, and well made. The Almond Croissant is a good choice. Gluten-free, so a bit more pricey but nicely dense and filling, so good value.

Kathryn Whyte

Hard to believe it’s gluten free pizza, it’s so good!! It’s the best we have eaten in Melbourne, or anywhere actually. Grazie Bruno & team for another great night! Thanks to Sebastian for his exemplary service!!

David Thorpe

Outstanding food! Safe for Coeliac’s and taste amazing! Will be back for sure!!

Apples

OMG everything gluten free, including the cannolis

Sanjana K. Bangia

As a very sensitive Coeliac, I had a delightful recent experience at Dovetail Social. The food was tasty and beautifully prepared. I highly recommend the gluten free waffle, with fried chicken, bacon and maple syrup!

Elaine

I have dined here a few times, the Chai is nice... but thats where it ends. I am tired of eating my meal and having someone sweeping around me, This has happened on every occasion and even after asking for this not to be done while we are eating it continues. They are all proper about being Gluten free but have little regard for others with allergies.

Simon Daniel

If you've got coeliac disease (or even if you haven't), you've got to come here. Absolutely everything on the menu and in the cabinet is gluten-free and tastes delicious. I highly recommend the chilli crab master. My matcha latte tasted great, too. I also grabbed a cinnamon bun cookie for later, but I'm regretting not trying the cherry, lemon and coconut slice - it looked divine.

james urey

Had a great chicken schnitzel burger, which was awesome because I haven’t been able to have one for so long!! All gluten-free

Michaela Carfora

This is the best gluten free brunch I’ve had! Since going gluten free I haven’t wanted to just eat bread but I could eat a whole loaf of Nodo’s bread. The service was great too and the vibe is great and there’s a good view of some of south bank too!

Madison Mifsud

This place is quite a blessing, bringing amazing gluten free options out into the west! I’m talking fresh pies, bread loaves, cakes and baked goods AND frozen GF goods + gluten free shelf items!!! Give a gold star for the best lamb and rosemary pie and the deliciously moist vegan chocolate mud cake!

Jess Paws

Consistently great coffee and gluten free food. I had never tried GF lasagna before, it was amazing! Bakery goods also delicious both normal and non gluten

Rebekka Power

If you’ve ever despaired because you’re forced to eat gluten free and you think you’re never going to eat a pizza that doesn’t taste like cardboard again, dry your tears because THIS IS THE BEST. It’s authentically Italian, chewy, luscious crust so good you’ll think they messed up your order and gave you the real thing (they didn’t!). The toppings are amazing too, really good quality. Try the signature A25 and the tiramisu. And then cry more tears but this time of genuine happiness that your pizza tastes like pizza

Bec Thompson

Amazing gluten free Japanese cafe. Staff very attentive and knowledgeable. Also really good coffee! We will be back to try the donuts

Ross Langford

We really enjoyed our dinner. My wife is a coeliac and it is 100% gluten free. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very nice evening.

Isabel Zarkov

Cute little place, defiantly book if wanting a table inside as small sitting area Very cosy and well priced for the quality of the food is out of this world!! Will defiantly be heading back

Cecilia Montoya

Hayden’s Pies should be a MANDATORY stop for anyone heading down south. There’s an option for everyone including vego, vegan and gluten free. Today, I tried the veggie bolognese which was insane and also happened to be vegan. It’s honestly worth the 3 hour drive from Sydney.

Mick Fallon

Busy place at lunchtime, with frienly service and gluten free french savoury pancakes.

Dee Rogers

Love, love, love this gluten free bakery. I travel up from the Gold Coast every month to indulge in the delicious pastries and sweets. It is seriously so exciting to walk into a bakery where you can eat absolutely anything, without asking "is that gluten free" every 2 seconds. I appreciate this bakery so much!

Emma Stone

Lovely customer service. Delicious meals. We always feel safe dining here with our coeliac kids. So many options to choose from. We love it!

Gabrielle Angles

Coeliac heaven!

Jo Seery

Great pies and great gluten free pies too

Andrew Phyland

Good bacon and egg rolls with choices of roll. Muffins and donuts very yummy and great to have a 100% gf safe

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A Hidden Gem with Something for Everyone! Absolutely loved this little café! One of the standout features is the huge range of options, seriously, there’s something for everyone. They even have separate gluten-free and plant-based menus, which made choosing so much easier and inclusive for all diets. Now, let’s talk food, the chipotle chat potatoes were an easy 10/10. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with just the right amount of smoky heat. Honestly couldn’t have been better. I’d go back just for those. I also tried the Ginger Ninja juice, fresh, zingy (not too zingy), and super refreshing. Exactly what you want in a juice: balanced, punchy, and not too sweet. Service was super quick, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a relaxed, easygoing vibe. The location is convenient, and prices are more than fair for the quality and variety on offer. Highly recommend checking this place out whether you’re after a quick bite, a hearty plant-based meal, or just want some standout potatoes. Will definitely be back!

Gluten Free KFC, OMG I love the boneless chicken and chips. One day I will try something else, But I am hooked on this. Staff are friendly, and have a sense of humour that you'll either love or hate, for me I love it. Super friendly for all.

Steve Blyth

Great choices for Gluten free

Breanna Baker

Anyone with coeliac disease this place is a must. Extremely knowledgeable about coeliac disease and cross contamination and for once my toddlers had a wide variety of dishes to choose from so thank you for making my kids days with the gf pancakes! This will be our go to spot every time we’re in the mountains. 10/10 food and coffee and staff were so friendly. Highly recommend!

Em

Love the initiative array of gluten free goodies! I tried the matcha banoffee pie - it was tasty, my one criticism is that the base was not crunchy, but other than that it tasted nice and I’ve never heard of anywhere doing matcha banoffee pie, so credit to them. Pleasant staff too.

Kaylene Edwards

The gluten free laminating was that hard i could only eat frosting the other had to be soaked in coffee. Not happy

Malcolm McIntosh

Positive happy staff, delicious food and always a welcoming experience and a great range of delicious gluten free options. We love eating here, thank you👌🙌

Bron Burns

Excellent pies... especially thrilled with the amazing gluten free options! Perfect GF chips too! Friendly and helpful staff!

Cyndi T

Gluten free (battered!) fish and chips and spearmint almond milk shakes. Hard to find south of the river! 5 stars just for that!

Erin McConnell

Wonderful shop, wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere. The bread must be made in-house because I've never had any gluten free bread like it. As a coeliac, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Peter Cassar

Gluten free lovers unite!!! Celiacs here is a restaurant for you. There is so much gluten free options here. Best of all for those who are not gluten free it won’t matter because you can’t tell it’s gluten free. The food is delicious and lots of effort from the wonderful staff to satisfy. Also note GF options for beer🍺. Must say it’s one of a few restaurants where the food is as vibrant and colorful as the pictures. Enjoy.

Eleanor Redding

This place puts a little sunshine in my soul. Lovely staff, delicious food, great portions and I feel super safe eating there as a coeliac

Carlito

Great little pie shop for any road trip. The range is massive and they have a special cafe for gluten free pies in the same building. The pies are delicious, with nice flaky pastry and the fillings are well seasoned. I tried the curry pie, which was excellent. The garden quiche was also good, with a good serve of vegetables in it. The custard tart had a nice biscuit base and the custard was not overly sweet. Overall, a good stop to fill your pie hole.

Gluten free mince pie !!!!! 👅 Gluten free caramel tart !!! 👅 the crispiest crust !!!!Wow !!!! Everything here is the best of the best. Love it !!!!!

Kendall B

Superb gluten free crumbed fish. Lovely cakes.

Bri Wills

The food is lovely great place for celiacs, although the staff was not friendly and when asking for sauce the chef or owner made a big deal and acted like it was an inconvenience for him. The staff look terrified of him and the service is also really slow.

Monique Ivans

A lovely spot with a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is simple, clear, and easy to navigate, especially when it comes to ingredients and dietary options. The hot chocolate was spot on—rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I ordered the baked eggs, which were decent, though I would’ve preferred the yolks a little softer and runny to enhance the flavour of the dish. Also, a second piece of gluten-free bread would’ve been appreciated, as one small slice felt a bit limiting alongside the meal. What really stood out was the warm, community vibe. Locals were chatting with each other, giving the place a friendly, relaxed feel that made the experience all the more enjoyable.

Chiara Laetitia

Can't express enough gratitude at finding a gluten free bakery after a 6 month old celiac diagnosis. My first pastry in 6 months. I cried when leaving with a safe freshly baked treat. Cinnamon scroll and apple pie. Both were delightful. It's hard to compare to gluten pastries once you're forced into gluten free lifestyle. Thank you for the delightful treat and lovely service!
