Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Brisbane City

"You know them for their brownies, but don’t forget the staples!. F+C’s croissants are the perfect ratio of soft:crispy, buttery:flaky, and frankly, we can’t get enough (though we do always pick up a brownie on our visit, too)."

"The success of Crust & Co stems from the French and Italian heritage of owner-baker Sebastien Pisasale, who has brought joy, happiness and authentic crusty French bread to the welcoming mouths of Brisbane bread lovers. From baguette to batard, or sourdough to ciabatta, all loaves are baked according to traditional, long-fermentation methods and liquid sourdough, which produces the irresistibly crunchy crust we covet. Perfect pastries and tempting treats will catch you at the counter as you tuck your baguette under your arm like a true Frenchperson would."

"Tucked away in a historic brick bakehouse in Wilston, Crust & Co is a hidden Brisbane treasure. One of Brissy’s most celebrated bakeries, they’re known for their talented French and Italian staff. With a passion for creating high quality products and following traditional French artisan baking methods, this bakery is without doubt worth checking out."

"With locations on Queen Street, Racecourse Road and Given Terrace, Le Bon Choix is one of Brisbane’s most well-established Parisian-style bakeries. Crusty bread loaves of different shapes and sizes are arranged on shelves behind the counter. Ready-made rustic salad baguettes and croque monsieur are piled up in one corner of the display case, with croissants and other flaky breakfast pastries in another."

"Speaking of authentic French patisseries, Le Bon Choix is serving up some of the very best baked treats all across Brisbane. Open bright and early, Le Bon Choix will provide you with a top-notch croissant and cup coffee for breakfast (no judgment), morning tea or dessert, 7 days a week. Cue the croissant cravings."

"The city’s favourite French patisserie can be found on Edward and Queen streets (that’s right, there’s two). Le Bon Choix is in fact a good choice if you’re craving pastries, or maybe even a macaroon with your morning coffee. There’s also tarts and cakes and muffins, and the most delightful petit fours."

"One of Brisbane’s only Italian Bakeries, Gerbino’s aim to bring the authentic taste of Italy to Brisbane. From handmade pastries, breads and cake to their delicious coffee, this family-run pasticceria and bakery is the ideal location for a date with Nonna."

"Half bakery, half pasticceria, this Italian gem is tucked away from the main Ashgrove action and more than warrants a detour."
