Best Bakeries in Brisbane for Scrolls & Sweet Treats
Jane
Former market favourite Jane has found a permanent home, meaning you can now get your hands on their soft, pillowy scrolls three times a week. Whilst their cinny scroll is a must, you’ll also find a rotation of seasonal flavours including Vegemite and cheese, Biscoff, lemon & blueberry and Jaffa.

But it’s the bakes we’re here to talk about today. Idle is reimagining classic treats with a fresh Aussie twist. Think wattle seed choc chip cookies, Victoria sponge stuffed with seasonal jams and mango croissants. Every ingredient is top-tier, from the butter they culture in-house to the handmade jams.

Flour & Chocolate
This cult favourite bakery began with a twist when one-half of Flour & Chocolate’s husband-and-wife duo answered the phone with “I wake up with Today”. Kylie and Lachlan Scott’s $20,000 windfall allowed them to finally realise their dream of owning their own bakery, and Brisbane has been blessed ever since.
The Scotts are not the type to back down from a challenge, and this shines through in their experimental baked creations. They were one of the first to try out the viral cronut sensation, which helped to put Flour & Chocolate on the map.
