This bakery is fully Coeliac Australia accredited and operates a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Everything on the menu is completely gluten-free, including bread, cakes, pies, pastries, and frozen foods. The Find Me GF listing marks it as 'reported to be dedicated gluten-free' with 54 reviews and a featured snippet about lamingtons being indistinguishable from regular ones. Dairy-free ice cream and other free-from options are also available.
The owner has coeliac disease themselves, so the kitchen is highly attuned to gluten-free needs and cross-contamination risks. Multiple community reviews confirm the venue is gluten-free friendly, with one note calling it 'very gluten free friendly'. Staff are knowledgeable and accommodating. The menu is not explicitly marked with GF codes, but the owner-led approach provides strong structural safeguards.
Eeny Meeny is a shared-kitchen cafe with extensive gluten-free options, a dedicated fryer, a dedicated waffle maker, and a dedicated toaster. Staff are knowledgeable about coeliac disease and will flag food and clean surfaces. Multiple coeliac diners report no symptoms after many visits. The cafe is not 100% gluten-free, so always confirm your needs with staff.
Mercetta is a community cafe known for accommodating coeliac diners with a dedicated gluten-free fryer for hash browns, chips, and fries. Multiple coeliac reviewers report that staff are knowledgeable about cross-contamination and will adapt dishes. However, the kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, so there is a risk of cross-contamination. The Colossal Group website displays a Coeliac Australia logo, but this is a group-level endorsement not a per-venue accreditation certificate, and the venue's own site does not mention gluten-free protocols. The cabinet cakes/slices are reportedly all GF, and GF bread is available.

No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned in any source, and the menu page itself does not mark individual dishes with GF codes. The venue is not accredited by Coeliac Australia. For coeliac diners, the safest approach is to call ahead and discuss cross-contamination protocols with the kitchen before booking.
The venue describes itself as a plant-based cafe. The National Celiac Association listing for Heart Beet Kitchen claims the food is 'plant based.'
