Jo's Gluten Free Pantry


Just before Christmas I was excited to see a sign in a new store nearby, advertising a gluten free shop that would be opening soon called Jo's Gluten Free Pantry. 


We dropped by the store on the day it opened to check out the products. They have the well-known gluten free/vegan brands like Orgran, Schar and Eskal plus a few brands I hadn't seen before.

Here's a look at what we got

Ice cream cones, bread rolls, almond milk, frozen butterscotch cookie dough, Bourbon biscuits (not soy free), pancake mix, Soyatoo rice cream, chocolate cake mix, chocolate crackers, sour worms and gummi bears.

The Choc Pockets are a new Orgran product, they're not strongly flavoured and they taste like their crackers with a little bit of added chocolate. The Bourbon biccies were for my Mum because I know she loves them and the cookie dough is in the freezer section, it's from a company called The Bikkie Dough Co (cute name!) and only two of the flavours were vegan so we grabbed one to try but I haven't baked them yet.

I'm really happy to have another store nearby where I can buy gleegan products easily and I hope they do well because even though the number of gluten intolerant and coeliacs are growing, it's still a bit of a niche market.

wow awhole gluten free store, what a good idea. I've never seen anything like that here. Did the CLF apron make it to you? I posted it ages ago and have just realised I never checked if you got it.

Awesome! The gluten free ranges in Aussie just keep growing and growing... it's really cool to see. Just found your blog... I come down to Sydney all the time, so your recommendations are highly appreciated!

Butterscotch cookie dough? I never knew such a thing existed! So cool that you have access to an entirely gluten-free store.

That is great the g/f shops are also catering to gleegans so well.
And hello... vegan frozen cookie dough? I need some of that, stat. Mainly just to munch on from the freezer. ;)

That store looks awesome! So glad you have a place nearby; we are still lacking in the gluten-free only stores. :(

I went vegan in 2006 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I love baking cupcakes and reading books and often wish I could combine both activities without disastrous results. If I’m not in the kitchen you’ll find me photographing food, cuddling my two kittehs or re-watching my favourite tv shows over and over again with my boyfriend. Due to food sensitivities I don't eat gluten or soy and yes, vegan, gluten free and soy free food is still delicious! Twitter: CupcakeKitteh
