Randwick · Brunch · Cafe

Several menu items (Organic Acai Bowls, TROPICAL Green Bowl (VG)) are listed with gluten-free granola on the Uber Eats menu, and the venue uses 'gluten free' in dish descriptions.

The Coeliac Australia accreditation page lists 'Bowls Baby' venues but does not include FRESH BOWLS AND ACAI. For verified coeliac safety, call ahead to confirm procedures.

The Green Bakery

The Green Bakery offers a gluten-free menu, and the kitchen uses separate baking schedules, separate ingredient storage, and explicit hygiene practices to minimize cross-contamination, even though it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

It encourages custom orders via a form or phone call to discuss specific allergy needs.

Sella Vinoteca

Randwick · Italian · Mediterranean

The menu marks gluten-free items (gf) and staff are knowledgeable about coeliac needs. A dedicated fryer is sometimes available depending on the menu, and GF pasta is offered. The kitchen is shared, not dedicated, so cross-contamination risk exists. Let the team know when booking.

The Butler

Potts Point · Mexican

Menu items have gf and gfo codes. Across every section of the menu, including tostadas, vegetables, seafood, meat, and banquet menus, these codes (gf and gfo) clearly indicate either gluten-free or a gluten-free option available. The venue says it caters for most dietary requirements. It also states all reasonable efforts are taken, but it cannot guarantee that our food will be allergen-free since the kitchen is shared and the same menu includes flour tortillas and sourdough. Coeliac diners should confirm dedicated equipment with staff.

stock

The Little Kitchen

Coogee · Cafe · Brunch

The menu highlights gluten-free options, with breakfasts, afternoon tea, sandwiches, and cakes baked on the premises all clearly marked, and the owner is knowledgeable about cross-contamination, with chips cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items, so staff should be told when a customer is coeliac so they can take extra precautions.

Colombo Social

Enmore · Sri Lankan · €⁠€

Several menu items are labelled gluten-free. Staff have reportedly used separate pans for coeliac requests to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. The kitchen is shared, however.

stock

Da Mario Restaurant

Rosebery · Italian · Pizza

Menu items that are available gluten-free are marked with an asterisk footnote, and a house-made gluten-free pasta is offered at a $4 supplement, but the kitchen is shared, and pasta, pizza bases, and fryers are not described as dedicated gluten-free spaces.

Ezra

Potts Point · Middle Eastern · €⁠€⁠€

Ezra has no dedicated gluten-free menu, but most of the menu is naturally gluten-free or can be modified. Staff are trained to accommodate coeliac diners, a gluten-free bagel is offered as a substitute for regular bread, and one reviewer with coeliac reported staff confirming precautions on arrival and felt very safe. There is no dedicated fryer, so cross-contamination is possible for fried items, and the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes. Needs are best confirmed with staff on the day.

The venue's own website states that gluten-free options are available, and an Atly community listing describes the restaurant as 'accommodating gluten-free,' noting that staff are trained and that some risk of cross-contamination exists. The menu itself does not mark gluten-free items. Coeliac diners should confirm procedures directly with staff before ordering.

Coogee · Italian · €⁠€

The menu is not marked for gluten, but staff can make every pasta dish gluten-free. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Two coeliac diners report no reactions, but the venue itself notes it is not a dedicated facility. Call ahead to confirm protocols.

The Last Course Sydney

Enmore · Lebanese · Mediterranean

Staff are aware of gluten-free needs. The hostess takes time to understand coeliac requirements and offers modified dishes each visit.

stock

Yulli's Brews

Alexandria · Vegan · €

Yulli's Brews operates a dedicated gluten-free fryer for chips. Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu. Because the kitchen is shared, there is still a risk of cross-contamination that you should be aware of. Staff are aware. Reviewers advise mentioning the condition and double-checking with the kitchen when the food arrives. The menu can change. One coeliac diner reported a very limited GF choice on a different menu from the website, so always verify what is currently available before ordering.

Kouzina Bebe

Little Bay · Greek · Mediterranean · €⁠€⁠€⁠€

A chocolate mud cake is listed as 'GF' and 'Gluten Free' on the online store, and the AGFG listing marks 'Gluten Free Options' as a feature.

Best to call ahead and confirm kitchen practices for coeliac safety.

stock

Two Chaps

Marrickville · Cafe · Bakery · €⁠€

Several day menu items are marked as gluten-free, and gluten-free toast is available. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, as it shares space with regular gluten-containing bread and pastries. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree have reported being glutened here, and one noted that gluten-free pastries were stored in contact with non-gluten-free food. Staff are described as knowledgeable and accommodating, but the inconsistent safety record and shared preparation environment mean that risk varies by shift and awareness.
