Australia’s First Gluten Free Cannoli Bar! ( We’re not your average bakery ;-) )
We’re a fast-paced, flavour-obsessed gluten free cannoli bar and café in Preston, and very soon in Brunswick East Melbourne — and we’re looking for a Pastry Chef who is serious about quality, serious about their team, and ready to create.
About the role
This is a Pastry Chef position for someone who’s ready to lead a small, high-output kitchen.
You’ll take ownership of daily production, bring structure and consistency, and help shape how we grow.
We run a compact kitchen — and honestly, what we pump out of it is something we’re incredibly proud of.
But we’re expanding, and we need a Pastry Chef who wants to grow with us.
About us:
Eat Cannoli is Australia’s first gluten free cannoli bar, based in Preston, Melbourne.
We’re passionate about exceptional gluten free baking — from our famous cannoli to our Roundtable Sourdough range.
We’re a small, close-knit team doing something genuinely unique in Melbourne’s food scene.
You’ll need
- Proven experience as a Pastry Chef or Chef wanting to lean in on their pastry skills.
- Experience in a bakery, café, or food production environment
- The confidence to drive a small team and drive production standards
- The ability to work autonomously and use your initiative
- Full Australian working rights (we’re unable to consider visa sponsorship)
- A genuine passion for quality pastry and baking and doing things properly
- Reliability, accountability, and a positive attitude — always
- Gluten free pastry & baking experience a bonus but not essential
What you’re getting into
- Wages negotiable depending on experience
- A leadership role with real ownership and input
- A one-of-a-kind concept with real heart behind it
- A supportive, passionate team that loves what they do
- The chance to shape something genuinely different in Melbourne’s food scene — and grow with it.
