Those tracking down Melbourne's finest sans gluten bakes point straight to this tiny Little Collins storefront. A tight operation rotating an elite lineup of completely gluten-free breads—think rustic sourdoughs, crusty baguettes, dark rye-style miches, and Danish seeded loaves. It’s a literal coeliac’s dream. The footprint is notoriously narrow. Just a couple of stools and a counter packed with visually gorgeous, hyper-fresh pastries. The pro move? Secure a wildly delicate fig cheesecake choux or a brilliantly braided babka, then take a short stroll to devour them in Treasury Gardens. Gluten-intolerant gourmands and dedicated pastry chasers consider these premium treats an absolute laneway essential.
