Operating from their shop on Glasgow Street alongside an active made-to-order cake service, Sweet Street bakes fresh daily.

Sweet Street GF Bakery: Whanganui's Haven for Handcrafted Gluten-Free Baking

Living with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance often means having to settle for dry, uninspired substitutes or worrying about accidental cross-contamination. At Sweet Street GF Bakery in Whanganui, those worries vanish the moment you step through the door. Specialising in handcrafted, delicious gluten-free baking that rivals any traditional bakery counter, this dedicated shop ensures that nobody has to miss out on the simple joy of fresh baked goods.

Safe Baking with Heart and Care

The foundation of Sweet Street GF Bakery rests on firsthand experience. Because the bakers behind the counter are gluten-free themselves, they intimately understand the strict safety standards needed when catering to dietary restrictions. Everything in the shop is prepared in a dedicated 100% gluten-free facility, giving coeliac and gluten-sensitive customers total peace of mind.

Beyond keeping the kitchen entirely gluten-safe, Sweet Street regularly caters to wider dietary requirements. Many counter and order items are intentionally crafted to be completely dairy-free and vegan, using quality plant-based ingredients without ever compromising on texture, moisture, or taste.

From Counter Treats to Freezer Staples

While "sweet" is in the name, Sweet Street offers a rich selection across both sweet and savoury cravings. Early morning visitors will find the pie warmer stocked with daily bakes, such as their popular creamy chicken, cranberry, and brie pie, or hearty butter chicken pies made without gluten or dairy.

For those wanting convenient meals throughout the week, the shop's freezer section is packed with ready-to-bake essentials. Customers regularly stock up on frozen sausage rolls, handcrafted savoury pies, fresh-baked gluten-free bread loaves, and scones. On the sweet counter, nostalgic Kiwi bakery favourites take centre stage, including generous batches of custard squares, cookies, and specialty slices like their caramel marshmallow slice topped with toasted coconut.

Custom Celebration Cakes

For birthdays, gatherings, and milestones, Sweet Street provides an extensive made-to-order cake menu available Tuesday through Saturday with 48 hours notice. Featuring stunning two-layer 22cm cakes decorated with seasonal florals, options range from rich vegan chocolate cake to spiced carrot cake with classic or dairy-free buttercream icings. Available for local pickup or delivery across Whanganui, it has quickly become the go-to bakery for inclusive celebration treats.
