Willows Gluten-free Bakery — Restaurant in Melbourne

CELIAC SAFE — Everything is clearly marked, which is great for food allergies! Not a ton of options for GFV, but a good variety, and it was all delicious. (A bit dense as expected with GF baked goods, and I preferred them best heated up.)

GFV Blueberry Coffee Cake: similar to a crumble, very flavorful GFV Banana Bread: I chose the one with chocolate chips on top, and I found it so yummy (even as someone who normally hates banana bread). — Isabel loved both of these! — I showed up a little before close, so some GFV stuff was already sold out.

Samoa Cheesecake (GF only) I decided to surprise Stephen with something, and this was my pick when they told me this had coconut and cheesecake. Apparently, it’s similar to a Girl Scout Cookie, but I’ve been gluten free and vegan for going on 8 years, so I’ve never had it. To say Stephen adored it is a bit of an understatement. If I like coconut I would have wanted to try it, but it looked scrumptious. The size would have been great for 2 to split if they were really hungry for desert, but Stephen was able savor it with a few bites at a time over several days.

Definitely check this place out if you have a sweet tooth and/or a loved one with allergies. It’s so rare I get to walk into any bakery and order even just one desert, so to have such delicious variety was a real treat. Thank you to the owner and the lovely staff person who assisted me. I appreciate your time...

Bought sourdough bread here for $16. Did not meet my expectations and I don’t think the price is worth it. Despite expecting that it was not going to taste or look like regular sourdough bread, it was worse than I anticipated. The bread looked like it was kinda unbaked or maybe it was just way more dense than I expected. It tasted dry and toasting it didn’t make any difference. I couldn’t finish it so it sadly went to waste.

I also tried emailing them my feedback before writing this review, but they never responded to even acknowledged my experience. I’m unfortunately very hesitant in giving this place another try because of that.

It’s very disappointing to describe my first experience as this. Hope their other baked goods are better than the sourdough...

It was disgusting the cake and not worth $80 bucks. None of kids liked it. Didn’t taste vanilla.

Response: I didn't receive the highest level of anything regarding the service. and last minute to people in the area is a a couple weeks advance, complete laziness. It wasn't worth $80 and none of the kids liked it plus it didn't even look like the photo. I'll insert the picture of what we wanted versus what we got. You can see the cheapness of it. And lazy work for $80 plus the cake was small. Smaller than than the size I ordered I was so mad. And the cake taste horrible.

Also I put the topper on btw and other picture. The one in the don’t use all they gave and it sucks....
