1. Nathan Street Bakery
For those with an appetite for high quality baked goods, Nathan Street Bakery in Brighton is a must. This bakery is an all-rounder offering a huge variety of bread, pastries and more. Everything is made fresh and often served warm from the oven. The vegemite scrolls are the perfect mix of crispiness on the outside and softness on the inside.
Nathan Street Bakery love to mix up their menu so be sure to pop in on the regular to try something new. Bec shared “The lamingtons and bun round are absolute crowd pleasers. We drive past about 6 closer bakeries to go to this one!” For lunch on the run, give their Banh Mi a try. The bread rolls are perfection. Be warned, Nathan Street Bakery is popular, so get in early.
- 130 Nathan St, Brighton
- Open Tuesday – Saturday, 6:30am – 5:00pm
1. Nguyen’s Moggy’s Bakery
Looking for the perfect pie in Brighton? You cannot go past the award winning Moggy’s Bakery. Moggy’s is known to boast the best pies on the Northside with customers coming from across town to get their fix.
Gary shared “I am a pieoligist. I’ve had many pies in Brisbane and the best pies are at Moggys.” Pepper steak, curry, potato pies, you name it! Moggys has it all. The Ned Kelly pie is a must try and the sausage rolls are extra tasty. Locals also love the smokey dogs.
Penny and Moggy are the sweetest owners who make every visit a warm one. We love that Moggy’s is the perfect spot to grab a reasonably priced loaf of fresh bread. Just don’t forget to treat yourself to an apple turnover and fresh cream doughnut while you’re there. They also make a mean croissant.
- 5/11 Lascelles St, Brighton
- Open 7 days, 6:00am – 6:00pm
3. Treaty of Paris (TOP Sandgate)
Treaty of Paris (TOP) is the new kid on the bakery scene in Sandgate. It was voted in at 3rd place most likely because most locals are yet to discover this new hotspot in Sandgate. After opening in early 2024, it has swiftly established itself as a café that caters to a diverse palate, becoming a haven for coffee, breakfast and lunch aficionados.
Sunny, the French pastry chef, makes the best almond croissants in Brisbane. In fact, Treaty of Paris have already served more than 4,400 croissants since opening earlier this year. The pain au chocolat, caramelised apple Danish and citrus tarts are all baked fresh in house.
Our new favourite is the New York croissant, a round flaky treat filled with a light Belgian chocolate mousse and dipped in delicious chocolate ganache. It was seriously love at first bite!
TOP is a coffee shop with gourmet foodie options like salmon eggs benedict and everything is made in house, from the bread to their special smoked brisket. You can expect incredible food for a fair price. We can’t say anymore. You need to visit!
- 104 Wakefield Street, Sandgate
- Open Tuesday – Sunday, 6:00am – 2:00pm. The kitchen is open from 7:00am – 1:00pm.
4. Bracken Ridge Bakery
If you head over to Bracken Ridge, you will find another top bakery to enjoy a pie or a stuffed baguette. We recommend the garlic, fetta and cheese pull-a-part that you may or may not choose to share. They are crispy and full of flavour. You can sink your teeth into the chunkiest chunky steak pies ever or sample the lamb and gravy pie that is hard to beat. The service from Morris is first class and the prices are super competitive with other bakeries in the area.
Karen shared “I bought a garlic and fetta twist (yum), half loaf of bread, bacon and cheese roll straight out of the oven and a jam donut for only $15.” There aren’t many places where your hard-earned cash will stretch that far.
We love that at Bracken Ridge Bakery you can pre-order vegetarian options like sausage rolls. For those whole love healthy eats, you can request a freshly made sandwich/roll filled with your choice of fresh meats and salads.
They’ve got sweets covered too. The custard donut and vanilla slice are particularly good. This is another spot that sells out, so get in early.
- 49 Gawain Rd, Bracken Ridge QLD 4017
- Monday to Friday: 5:00am – 5:00pm
- Saturday & Sunday: 6:00am – 2:00pm
5. The Witchin’ Kitchen
Get ready to put on your stretchy pants. The Witchin’ Kitchen has a full case of sweets such as lemon meringue cheesecakes, brownies, tarts and more, and they are all gluten free. Sure, it’s not technically a bakery but it does have a heap of amazing baked goods so we figure it deserves a mention.
Don’t come to this café if you are chasing a loaf of bread. Instead visit for the banana bread French toast and other incredible breakfast options.
We award extra points to this business for being allergy friendly with plenty of coeliac options. The building itself is eccentric and fun to be in. Be sure to book in advance, especially on weekends.
- 227 Rainbow St, Sandgate QLD 4017
- Open Wednesday to Sunday, 7:30am – 2:00pm
6. Moments Biscuits
Every time we go into this beautiful little coffee shop, we leave a little happier. It smells amazing! Moments Biscuits is where you go for yummy freshly baked treats. Biscuits, pastries and cakes are their specialty. During your visit you can sip on an iced latte while you try their huge range of sugar cookies, ginger biscuits, brownies and more. It really is a treasure in Brighton. For something less sweet, try their bagels. There are plenty of vegan options too.
