Coeliacs and those who are gluten-intolerant can rejoice, there are an amazing array of scrumptious gluten-free bakeries across Melbourne, so we don’t miss out on those tasty treats!
Gone are the days of having one or two unpalatable options from the health food aisle in the supermarket. Gluten-free foods are now widely available and much more delicious.
Gluten-free bakeries have become increasingly popular, so there is no excuse for missing out on your favourite bread, donut or pastry.
I have put together a list of the best, so you can find a gluten free bakery near you.
For a delicious Gluten Free Bakery Melbourne has you covered.
