I am a complete sweet tooth and cookies are my downfall. But seriously, what better place is there to hang out with friends, or have some chill out time on your own (making lists, making plans, dreaming up ideas, creating) than a cute bakery cafe with a delicious treat and coffee? Plus checking out new bakeries is the perfect excuse to go exploring!
Here are 11 bakeries on my list to try - have you been to any of them?
Not all of them are cafes or have seating, so grab your treat and head to your favourite place to have that chill out time.
1. Superthing
Pink plus croissants? Who could say no to that?!?
215 Montague Road, West End
2. Lisboa Caffe
Did someone say Portuguese Tarts? With different varieties, not just the traditional version?
58 Hope Street, South Brisbane
3. Sooo Sweet
I used to live near a Middle Eastern supermarket and loved getting a package of treats from there, so when I saw Sooo Sweet it had to be added to my list.
6/7 Kingston Road, Slacks Creek
4. Dolci Sapori
An Italian bakery that looks old-style and just full of treats - some of them are even gluten free!
828 Sandgate Road, Clayfield
5. The Wheat House
I'm a sucker for anything a little different and The Wheat House has different - cube filled croissants. Yum. Just yum.
66 Condamine Street, Runcorn
The cruffins! OMG - cruffins by themselves are amazing enough. But filled cruffins?!?
101 Camelia Avenue, Everton Hills
Filled croissants? Crullers? Take me there. Now, please!
37 Oxford Street, Bulimba
Filled cookies, stuffed cookies, New York cookies - whatever you want to call them, Butter Meets Sugar has them and I want to try them!!!
112 Birkdale Road, Birkdale
Just for something a little different - a Japanese bakery. It all looks so so good!
127 Creek Street, Brisbane
10. Baked by M&G
They have cinnamon cookies. The best cookies ever. Plus a whole load of other delicious-looking stuff, including Greek sweets!
402 Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo
11. Kürtősh
With traditional Hungarian pastries, Kürtőskalács, and slab cakes sold by weight, this is a bakery with a difference!
111 Boundary Street, West Village Retail, West End
What are your favourite bakeries/cafes and what do you order? I'd love to hear from you!
