Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Lichtenstein’s Bakehouse is a family-operated bakery in East St Kilda, established in 2002. Its range includes breads, cakes and doughnuts, with a particular focus on healthier bread made from natural, wholesome ingredients. The bakery says its products contain no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.
The standout offering is its variety of gluten-free breads. Lichtenstein’s has developed these to deliver the taste, texture and toasting qualities associated with top-quality bread, giving customers following a gluten-free diet more choice. Its gluten-free bread is also sold through Coles and Woolworths locations around Victoria, extending the range beyond the Carlisle Street store.
The bakery draws on traditional European recipes and sources ingredients from Australian suppliers that follow strict food-safety programmes. That background makes it a useful stop for locals looking for everyday bread, as well as for people seeking gluten-free options in St Kilda, Melbourne. The source provides limited detail about the shop’s interior or dining set-up, so it is best approached as a bakery and retail stop rather than a destination built around a described café atmosphere.
