Dovetail Social

The philosophy at Dovetail Social is “If we didn’t tell you it was gluten-free, you wouldn’t know it!”. Rejoice grew up in the Phillippines, with a family who loved to cook and to eat.

This passion continued through to her adult life, which soon included a coeliac husband, who Rejoice was inspired by. After making him a gluten-free apple pie that took him back to the flavours of the real deal, Rejoice became a qualified pastry chef and set about creating one of the best gluten-free cafes in Brisbane.

Visit for all-day brekkie, lunch, sweet treats or a completely gluten-free high tea at Dovetail, and enjoy food made with love and a fun infusion of Filipino flavour.
