What a weekend ❤️
Thank you for letting us be part of your Mother’s Day.
Seeing your tables set, scones warmed, tea poured and our High Tea Boxes shared with mums, grandmas and loved ones means more to us than you probably realise.
This week was a huge one behind the scenes at Butter Mafia. A whole lot of planning, baking, packing, early mornings and teamwork to make it all happen.
I also want to say a huge thank you to our team, who worked incredibly hard all week to help bring these boxes to life. A lot of care went into every single one that left our kitchen this weekend.
We’re incredibly grateful for every order, every message and every photo shared with us over the past few days.
Tomorrow (Monday), Butter Mafia will be closed so the team can have some well deserved rest after a very big Mother’s Day week.
We’ll see you again on Tuesday ❤️
10/05/2026
Happy Mother’s Day ❤️
To the mums who held everything together when nobody noticed.
The ones who gave without keeping score.
The ones who made home feel like home.
My mum’s overseas at the moment, so I won’t get to spend today with her — which probably makes me appreciate her even more.
A lot of what Butter Mafia is built on — generosity, feeding people properly, showing love through food — comes from her.
Today’s not really about gifts.
It’s about slowing down for a little while and letting the people you love know they matter.
Wherever you are today, I hope you get to share a beautiful moment with the people you love most ❤️

For coeliacs, a good scone is a big deal.
Because it’s not just about the scone.
It’s being able to sit at the table and say yes.
To share the same food.

This Saturday is our final Northcote Gluten Free Pop Up and we’ve had a blast.
What started as a way to bring more of the Butter Mafia experience to Northcote became something really special. Choux filled fresh on order. Toasties hot off the press. Coffee, treats, and all of you coming through the door to make it what it was.

Mum doesn't want another last minute gift.
She wants time with you.

Something to share.
Something that feels like you actually thought about it.
This is our version of that.

During the week, we are just baking in Northcote.
Walk in and you might see us cutting up cheesecake.
Or smell trays of Henchmen cookies coming out of the oven.
But this Saturday, it changes.
The kitchen turns into a pop up.
The sandwich press is on for piping hot toasties.
Choux pastries are filled fresh in front of you.
Complimentary filter coffee by Talk Coffee while you wait for your toastie.

Open Friday and Sunday as usual.
100% gluten free toasted sandwiches and choux pastries, filled fresh to order every market day.
16/04/2026
Being gluten free should never mean being left with the plain option.
It should still feel exciting to discover a flavour combination you didn’t expect to love.
Something thoughtful.
Something layered.
Something that makes you stop and think, I need to try that.
This one starts with nectarines cooked down until rich and glossy, finished with thyme for a flavour that lingers in the best way.
Because flavour matters. Nuance matters.
Because Coeliacs deserve more than food that is just safe. You deserve food that feels special too.
Would you try nectarine and thyme together?

Fridays are changing at Butter Mafia.
We’re bringing out fresh savoury bakes each Friday. Something you can come in for, not just wait for an occasion.
A savoury snack.
An easy lunch.
Something to grab when you feel like it.
Savoury Muffin Fridays, kicking off with Three Cheese this week. No onion or garlic.
Fresh out of the oven from 11am.
Starting this Friday in Northcote.
15/04/2026
This Saturday in Northcote.
Nectarine & Thyme Choux.
The kind of food you can just walk in, choose and enjoy.
Toasties, freshly filled choux and something sweet to take home.
10am to 1pm (earlier if sold out).
Come early.
09/04/2026
Sometimes you just want something a little different.
We’ve been playing around with strawberries this week for our Balsamic Strawberry Choux and this one turned out really good.
Fruity and floral with a subtle sharpness from the balsamic.
We pipe it into a golden, crisp choux pastry and finish it with a light, not too sweet Chantilly cream.
It’s the kind of flavour that makes you stop for a second.
If you’ve been meaning to come by, this is your weekend.
And with school holidays here, we’re continuing something for our VIP Gang that means a lot to us.
For a lot of young coeliacs, food isn’t simple.
Often it comes with anxiety.
We want this to be the opposite of that.
A place where they can walk in, feel confident and have something they actually look forward to.
So these school holidays, we are bringing back our Young Coeliac giveaway – Coeliacs 16 and under get something on us with any purchase.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 — 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬.
It’s Coeliac Awareness Week. For so many in our community, eating safely isn’t a preference — it’s the only treatment they have.
It’s reading every label, asking the awkward questions, and trusting that what you’re eating is actually safe.
That’s why everything we make is 100% gluten free.
This March, we’re turning that into something bigger.
𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐧.
Every purchase made in March, online or in store, automatically goes into the draw when you’re part of our VIP Gang.
If you’re not part of the VIP Gang yet, sign up on our website or we’ll help you in store at checkout.
Coeliac Australia members receive double entries. Just let us know “I’m with Coeliac Australia” when checking out online or in person.
There’s no limit to entries. Every purchase counts.
Winners will be announced on 2 April and contacted by phone.
Prizes must be collected in person within 2 weeks.
This isn’t just a giveaway. It’s our way of celebrating and supporting our coeliac community.
13/03/2026
One thing many people don’t realise about coeliac disease is how much planning goes into something as simple as eating out.
Menus get checked before arriving.
Questions get asked at the table.
Sometimes it’s easier to just not risk it.
For the coeliac community, food isn’t just about taste.
Eating well is also about safety and trust.
If someone in your life lives with coeliac disease, what’s something you wish more people understood about it?
