For anyone living with a serious condition such as coeliac disease or a severe allergy, dining out can be near impossible. A trip to Melbourne changed everything for Tanya Filak. She fell head over heels in love with Gluten Free 4 U and decided then and there she had to bring it home to the Gold Coast, which is precisely what she did. Absolutely everything within the store is gluten and nut-free. In fact, Gluten Free 4 U’s range caters to the gamut of dietary variations including – but not limited to – vegan, fructose friendly, dairy friendly, egg-free, soy-free and yeast-free. Tanya’s goal now is to help normalise dietary requirements by providing a traditional bakery concept where everything just happens to be accessible to everyone. Gluten Free 4 U offers an extensive selection of breads and savouries through to cookies, specialty cakes, desserts and baked goods fresh from the oven. There are a handful of Parisian-style two-seater settings with plush navy velvet chairs, which are perfect for partaking in a Devonshire tea service (two freshly baked scones with jam and cream alongside a pot of Madura Tea). Gluten Free 4 U also offers an exclusive gluten-free high tea, however you must pre-book in advance. The freezer is also fully stocked if you would like to grab some goodies to enjoy at home.
