brewbakers

moved to this area 7 months ago and i always opt to drive all the way to flour n chocolate in morningside or chouquette in new farm whenever i crave for good artisan pastry. however yesterday i decided to give this place a try. it’s got a different style however i wasn’t disappointed at all. it still can’t beat fnc/chouqette but it saves me from the traffic hassle. it is a bit pricey though. had feta and tomato quiche, raspberry financier, and salmon bagel. i guess i’m lucky because all tasted really delicious. still curious about their sourdough doughnuts. will come back very soon. maybe tomorrow 😍. second visit: parmesan bagel and cheese,onion, and poppy seeds bagel. winner: still the salmon bagel from 2 days ago. sourdough mini doughnuts: winner: raspberry jam doughnut! the jam is so fresh and natural. i didn’t really like the chocolate doughnut. cappuccino: ok not so special but not bad. service: great and friendly :)

oh why so mean?? i wanted to love this place, a working bakery cafe, but i have found the customer experience so poor i just can't go back. the women who own or manage this place are so snappy. it's got to the point where i just don't want to go anymore, i get my fresh bread on the weekend from the northey street markets now. please be more friendly to your customers, we are giving you money!!

aside from not wanting to go there again for customer experience reasons, the coffee is good and quick, but i find the
baked goods too expensive.

fabulous little bakery on sandgate road offering a great range of sourdough loafs, sausage rolls, bagels, buns, donuts and even dog biscuits.

food 8/10
price $$ above average
service 7/10 friendly service even when they were super busy.
*** i love the sour dough donuts here. i have to wake up early, drive for 1 hour to have my donut and coffee here. they close before 12pm noon.
recommend to everyone. you must try at least once.

well, i read that their bagels were really good so i opted for the poppy seed bagel sandwich, together with some random delicacies which include a sourdough doughnut, chocolate chip bagel and a blueberry custard like cake.

the meatballs family came to brewbakers with high expectations given their high rating and the many claims that they could be brisbane's best bakery.

first impression - this is a working bakery. don't come here expecting a cafe type experience (a la le bon choix).

we ordered a latte, a poppyseed bagel and a sourdough blondie.

everything looked wonderful and their bagels might be brisbane's best. unfortunately mini meatball tore into the poppyseed bagel before i could get a good photo (she also brushed off a lot of poppyseeds). the bagel rated a 4 - definitely a step above bagel boys and nyc bagels.

the sourdough blondie, topped with pecans, was really moist and had a very complex flavour, but unfortunately it was underbaked and the middle was wet/sticky. perhaps this is what they were going for, but it felt underdone. this rated a 2.5.

the latte was pretty average - a bit weak, but this rated a 3.

we'll return for bagels and i look forward to trying some of their breads.

this is a small shop but offers all you need if that includes bread, baked goods and coffee. service is fast and friendly and the prices are reasonable. parking is available right outside the door.

went here during the week before work for breakfast.
i had never been here before but instantly felt like i had been a customer for year.
had great filled toasted bagel with my excellent coffee and shared probably one of the brisbane's best sourdough dounts! can't wait to go back!!

the best bakery in town. sourdough is devine. best almond croissants ever. bagels are to die for. the friendliest and cutest service ever! i have been highly recommending this place for over six years. still the best bakery in brisbane.

best bakery in brisbane. very fresh breads and pastries. staff are so very nice and always looking to help. gets very busy so be prepared to wait 5 mins in line (extremely fast service considering there can be 20/30 people in the line at once). i wish they were open of an afternoon so i could come in for a coffee and cake for afternoon tea. such a lovely atmosphere, it's so full of life. fantastic coffee. cannot recommend more. i'd give it a 10/5 if i could.

very european. simple uninspiring decor and a bit of a difficult location but ohhh the food.
i can't go past this place when i am visiting brisbane. i even go out of my way to make sure i can get a feed here.
coffee is great but the freshly baked breads and pastries are awesome.
probably not good for my wasteline!

freshly made bread from the "mother dough yeast " and nice coffee . very rare in brisbane...........................................................................................................................................

albion residents will be familiar with brewbakers, a bakery in a recessed strip of shops along the perpetually busy sandgate road. if you haven’t been there, you are likely to drive right by, then scramble to work out how to get back and find parking, as the carpark just in front of it can’t actually be entered directly from sandgate road. the tan coloured letters that make up the sign out front also don’t stand out particularly well from the grey roof. still, people clearly do manage to find their way there, and the limited outside seating is often fully occupied on a weekend morning.

one of the nicest breads i've bought in brisbane. you can tell the quality of a bread by its crust and this has the perfect one. the sourdough is my favourite. they have really nice, freshly baked pizza bases and their almond croissant is to die for! i always come for the croissant but end up buying bread and pizza bases every time. they brew some quality coffee too.

omg. the donuts!!!! and of course the bagels .... freshly baked goodies and a cabinet full of freshly made rolls, bagels and ficelles love the dress up days on saturdays
