About Artizan Gluten Free Bakery
For anyone avoiding gluten, a bakery in Rockhampton City where the whole shop is made for you is a rare thing, and that's the heart of Artizan Gluten Free Bakery. Nothing on the counter is an afterthought or a risky maybe. Some of the baked goods are dairy-free too, which locals with a dietary restriction appreciate.
The pies are what people talk about most. Pepper steak, curry, cheese and bacon and a breakfast pie all get a mention, and travelling coeliacs have called it the best gluten-free pie they've had anywhere. The fans say the pastry is flaky, the steak comes in proper chunks, and the pie holds together rather than collapsing into crumbs. Sausage rolls and donuts sit alongside them, and there are cakes, muffins, slices and tarts for something sweet. The bread is soft and doesn't crumble, and it can also be sent out by mail order if you're not local.
It works as a relaxed café as much as a bakery. You can sit down with a coffee, grab breakfast, or take your order and go, and delivery and in-store pick-up are options too. One regular who isn't gluten-free at all called the coffee the best they'd found in town. The staff are friendly, and the owner gets a warm word from visitors. Local art hangs on the walls, and dogs have been welcomed with a water bowl.
One visitor found the pie and sausage roll fillings a little bland for the price, so tastes do vary. Still, the overall picture is of a place people drive out of their way for and then return to, working through the menu one item at a time.
Parking is free, with street spaces and a car park, and there is a wheelchair-accessible entrance. If you want something for a particular day, a pre-order has worked for visitors. Check the opening hours before you go, as they keep to a morning-to-early-afternoon day and have a shorter weekend.
