If you’re vegan, gluten-free, health-conscious, and/or a bit of a taste snob — this is the spot in Sydney. Just post up here each day of your stay and rotate through the wide-ranging, exceptionally balanced menu of thoughtfully crafted meals and dream-worthy desserts.
My personal favorites: the rose and pistachio cupcake, the vegan Thai beef salad, and the “Gimme That” protein shake — but truly, I tried nearly everything on the menu and was impressed across the board. The staff is warm, the vibe is relaxed, and there’s both indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi. Bonus: they’ve got a great little deli section with frozen vegan staples and pantry finds to stock up on.
This spot features a cool exposed brick warehouse style with a spacious interior and a buzzing, relaxed atmosphere. Known as one of Sydney's best for gluten-free brunch and lunch, it offers friendly, knowledgeable staff and a Melbourne-inspired vibe perfect for those with celiac disease.
This cozy café offers a very nice and cosy feel with varied seating including sunlit outdoor spots, creating a relaxed vibe. The friendly, knowledgeable staff ensure comfort for gluten-free diners, making it a welcoming spot for those with dietary restrictions.

I’m a coeliac, and I absolutely love this spot! Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable of coeliac disease and gluten free, I feel very comfortable eating here. Eating out can often be so isolating when you have a dietary requirement, and you’re often confined to just getting a drink, or something really plain, but not at Four Ate Five! The menu isn’t clearly labelled with allergens, however upon speaking with staff, many of the options are gluten free or can be made gluten free. I ordered the Shakshuka and advised I was coeliac, and staff confirmed they could make it gluten free by swapping out the gluten bread side for gluten free bread, and would take extra measures to reduce cross contamination with the toaster. Obviously there is still an element of risk as a coeliac, as it’s not an entirely gluten free kitchen, but I feel fine each time, and confident in the staff and kitchen. The juices are also delicious and freshly squeezed. I absolutely love this spot, and will continue to take visiting family, friends and loved ones here, to enjoy an amazing meal together.
This lively café offers a Melbourne-like vibe with a chilled yet upmarket atmosphere, enhanced by friendly, knowledgeable staff. Its gluten-free options, including delightful bread, complement the fantastic coffee, making it a great spot for gluten-free diners.

My experience at Shaffa was nothing short of exceptional. The food is absolutely outstanding—rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with creativity and care.
The ambiance strikes the perfect balance: sleek and stylish, yet relaxed and unpretentious. The unique layout adds a rustic, authentic charm that makes you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere far from the usual Sydney dining scene.
The menu is a standout—varied, inventive, and full of soul. Each dish reflects thoughtful preparation and bold, memorable flavours.
What truly elevates Shaffa, though, is the service. Veronica and her team strike a rare balance of being warm and personable while remaining impressively professional and attentive. Nothing feels like too much trouble.
We were looked after by the wonderful Francis, who brought the whole experience together with his deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. He took the time to ask insightful questions about our preferences and made thoughtful recommendations that hit the mark. His attentiveness—especially toward my partner’s gluten intolerance—was both considerate and seamless.
I can’t recommend Shaffa highly enough for your next meal out. You’ll be in for a memorable, delicious experience from start to finish.

Sweet and cosy cafe with high quality food, beverages and amazing customer service. The staff provided us with a blanket when it was chilly outside, and answered all of our questions about the food, including whether items were gluten free, as one of us is coeliac.
They even pulled up an extra chair for our little pup at our outdoor table, which was very kind. When it started pouring down with rain, they invited us inside and set up a table for us to keep dry. We are in love with this place after stumbling across it today, and will definitely be back!

Absolute treasure of a little cafe/sandwich, salad/rice bowl place catering to vegans, vegetarians and gluten free folk.
STAFF: Down to earth, super efficient and happy to make pretty much any combo of rice/salad bowl or sandwich you can imagine!
MENU: Great selection of salads, varied cheeses, meats and sauces all available at a beyond reasonable price on delish bread or rice/salad.
LOCATION: 5 minutes walk up from Central Station and with some street parking (most of it is metered and there's not a lot).
ACCESSIBILITY: I don't believe they have a toilet on site (it really is a hole-in-the-wall kinda place, however it is wheelchair accessible with a serving window down lower for those on walkers/in wheelchairs etc.
OVERALL: Highly recommend!
