GF Pantry – gluten free online store
GF Pantry is a family run leading gluten free online store in Australia, based in bayside Melbourne.
The owners have two coeliac children, so they understand the need to be strictly gluten free. As they only sell gluten free products you are saved from any label reading! There are also items that cater for other dietary requirements, such as dairy free, nut free and low FODMAP and you can filter as needed.
You will find well known brands (e.g. Schar, Well & Good, Orgran, Eskal, Amy’s Kitchen, Rick Grants, GF Precinct) as well as smaller brands (e.g. Ardor Gluten free) covering bread, crumpets, biscuits, baking, sauces, noodles, snacks, crepes, sweets and books.
Keep an eye on their Facebook page for new products (including seasonal items for Easter & Christmas) as well as recipe ideas. Some key items I bought on my visit were:
- Liberate crumpets – very tasty with some GF Vegemite/Marmite
- Alpha Dinner Mints – these are my favourite mint chocolates
- GF Precinct wraps – these bend and don’t break
- Irresistible Gluten Free lollies (I think their jelly beans are the best!)
- Byron Bay cookies (love the choc chip ones)
- Gingerbread folk gingerbread men
- Schar Twin Bar (like a gluten free Kit Kat )
You can order online for delivery anywhere in Australia and postage is calculated at the checkout. My deliveries cost under $10 to metropolitan Melbourne. If you prefer, you can collect online orders at the shop at least hours after ordering (except during Covid lockdown).
Online: 24 hours
Local pickup (weekdays): Unit 16, 329-337 Bay Road, Cheltenham 3192
NB Please note that the storefront they had at Southland shopping centre closed in early 2020. If you do a local pickup and are looking for somewhere nearby to have a meal afterwards, I recommend a visit to the Cheltenham RSL which is accredited by Coeliac Australia.
GF Pantry is also featured on the Melbourne 100% gluten free listing.
