amazing coffee and chocolate brownies!
i don't often splurge onbakerygoods but brewbakers has me finding my way back there weekly! you won't find a betterbakeryin brisbane.

long lines and worth the wait. huge lines and typicalbakeryfood.
but the coffee is the best in albion and the bread is delicious!

this is a fantastic artisanbakeryproducing wonderful bread from organic ingredients. we loved our sandwiches but we were disappointed by the sausage rolls - the filling was very sausagey with a very low meat content - not good value at all!

oh why so mean?? i wanted to love this place, a workingbakerycafe, 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 littlebakeryon sandgate road offering a great range of sourdough loafs, sausage rolls, bagels, buns, donuts and even dog biscuits.

the bestbakeryin 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 bestbakeryin brisbane.

bestbakeryin 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.

albion residents will be familiar with brewbakers, abakeryin 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.

cute littlebakeryhidden behind a old carpark, service is quick and friendly & food is quite yummy!
however the atmosphere has something to be said for, i'm not sure about everyone else but loud rude obnoxious "soccer mums" are not my cup of tea, this takes from the appeal of scrumptious food..

there's nothing like the taste of fresh bread and baked-onsite specialty goodies. which was what drew me to brewbakers the first time a few months ago. located in a little carpark in albion, the cosybakeryboasts a serious looking coffee machine at the shop front giving it a cool, artisan atmosphere. my first experience of their baked goodies didn't disappoint. my croissant was warm and buttery, hubby's bagel was generously filled with cream cheese, ny style. the coffee was... well the coffee was black tea as they apparently "don't do soy milk". (no apologies either) nope, not even for me who is cow milk intolerant. so black tea it was.

my second visit was out of convenience... i went in for a quick, convenient treat for my toddler. the bag of cookies was great and having happened to have some soy milk in my car, i asked and they made me a soy coffee without batting an eyelid.

today was my third visit. i decided to grab a loaf of fresh bread - again a convenience factor. i asked for wholemeal bread and the bread that was sold to me by the non-smiling, non-apologetic staff (one of many there) was a "wholemeal, sandwich loaf". perfect!

now before i go on, to clarify - i've no issue paying upwards of $5 for a loaf of bread. as long as it is good, and most breads at that price have health benefits such as gf, wholewheat, sourdough, etc. well this one was a regular sandwich loaf, cut by machine, wrapped in clear plastic and cost $6. the verdict?? it tasted like coles baked bread. there was nothing special about it .. yes it was fresh but it was also hole-y and could have been bought from a cheap bakery.

no, brewbakers, you cannot charge as you please for a regular loaf of bread. perhaps you are trying to be too cool?

ps. i also ordered a $5 pecan blondie and it was yum! these types of artisan goodies - i will happily pay the amount. maybe even more if they could justify it with friendlier service!

i've been to brewbakers many times as my office is just down the street. it's a funky littlebakerythat specialises in sour dough.

the owner and staff are all very friendly and make you feel welcome. their bagels are quite nice, and their sandwiches/rolls/wraps are pretty nice too.

the coffee, unfortunately, is a bit average (not bad at all, but just not great); although i am a coffee snob. i need to order a small with an extra shot so that it's got enough coffee taste. the other downside is the wait time for coffee. granted they're always busy when i go.

overall it's a good spot, and great if you're looking for really quality sour dough bread. if you're not overly fussy with your coffee, then i'm sure you'll like their brew. if you're a snob like me, make sure you order extra shots!

the biggest downside is that they close at 2pm. i'm always in need of a coffee hit at around 3pm!!

good coffee, great sourdough brownie. very happy, consider a south side sister or brotherbakerycause it will go off. the staff were welcoming and handled the large number of customers very well.

one of the brest bakeries in brisbane. amazing service. i love that the staff are always friendly and smiling. the best sourdough donuts you will ever have. my only issue is the opening hours. i think it's crazy for abakerynot to open on a sunday. sunday is just the typical day you go get your paper go thebakerygo home and have a nice hearty breakfast. how can you go without your sourdough donuts??? please open sunday's brewbakers.

far and away the bestbakeryi've been to in brisbane. amazing flavours, amazing crusts, amazing textures. coffee is also superb. extremely popular (and rightly so) so expect longish queues.
