This is probably the hardest post I’ve ever had to write. After 14 beautiful years of serving our amazing gluten-free community, I need to announce that Just Gluten Free will be closing its doors.

The past two and a half years have been incredibly challenging. It started with losing my beloved dad and not being able to attend his funeral in Italy due to COVID. Before I could even grieve, my mum got sick, needing chemotherapy and being placed on the liver transplant list. I tried to split myself between being there for her and running the business, but something had to give.

For 14 years, Just Gluten Free has been more than just a bakery, it’s been a family, a safe place where everyone, no matter their dietary needs, could enjoy beautiful food without worry. I started this journey because I believed everyone deserves to eat well, feel included, and be cared for. Over the years, I’ve seen your children grow from tiny bumps in bellies to wonderful teenagers, I’ve shared your highs and lows, and many of you have become dear friends, some even family.

I have given everything to this business, 80-90 hour weeks, working 7 days a week, coming in with stitches, after surgeries, through everything because I loved what I built, and I loved you. But now, it’s time for me to look after myself and my mum.

Important Info:

Our Daws Road & CBD stores are close permanently from 08/02/2025.

What’s next?

I’m heading back to Italy to be with my mum, and I’ll be working on something that has always been close to my heart—recipes! I’m excited to create, experiment, and share my passion with you. I’d love for you to follow my journey stay connected with me on FB and Instagram (#justglutenfreebakery)! Who knows, maybe one day we’ll bring these recipes to life together.

This is not goodbye, this is arrivederci (see you again). Because I know that food, love, and community will always find a way to bring us back together.

With all my love and gratitude,

Sabine xx
