Best Gluten-Free Bakeries in Sydney

For a long time, Sydneysiders with gluten intolerances or coeliac disease had to settle for crumbly, dry, and – let's be honest – subpar imitations of beloved baked goods. Gluten is the general name for proteins commonly found in wheat, rye and barley, which act as the glue that helps shape a loaf of bread or makes a croissant light and airy. It’s an integral part of traditional baking, which means it’s hard to replicate the same results without it.

These days, the initials GF are familiar and frequently found on cafe and restaurant menus all over town. But we’ve also seen the rise of dedicated bakeries reimagining the croissant, the doughnut and more for those with a gluten intolerance. And some of their creations are so convincing, you’d hardly know the difference. This guide will help you track down the best of them.

Nonie’s Food, Botany

Sydney chefs have been Nonie Dwyer’s gluten-free breads for years, and you may have seen them on the menus at The Grounds of Alexandria, Cornersmith, Opera Bar and more. They’re made without preservatives or gums, and because gluten-free flours deteriorate quickly after being baked, these loaves are frozen immediately after leaving the oven to ensure the highest quality possible. Since starting in 2014, the Nonie’s brand has grown to include breads, pita, muesli and buckwheat crackers, all of which you can collect from the bakery’s warehouse HQ in Botany every Friday from 10am–1pm. You can also catch Nonie and the team at Northside Produce Markets (first and third Saturday) and Carriageworks Farmer’s Markets (second and fourth Saturday) every weekend.
