Our little river city has been working overtime to catch up with its arguably more cosmopolitan counterparts, and we’re well and truly in the running now.

Yo-Chi x Jane Scrolls
Just when we thought Yo-Chi couldn’t get any sweeter, they’ve gone and announced the collaboration of our dreams. This month, Yo-Chi is partnering with a local bakery in each Australian state, as voted by you, to serve up cinnamon scrolls to top your frozen yoghurt. That means all QLD Yo-Chi stores will be stocking cinnamon scrolls from beloved bakery Janes Scrolls. This might just be our favourite Yo-Chi topping to date!
Due to the nature of a small business, Yo-Chi are expecting the cinnamon scrolls to sell out within hours of each delivery, so it’s best to stay up to date with their Instagram highlights if you want in.
Available in all QLD Yo-Chi stores

Brisbane is Officially Home to Two of the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants
The highly anticipated 2026 edition of the World’s Best Steak Restaurants has just dropped, and two of Brisbane’s own have snagged a spot. Pretty special, eh?
Swooping in at number 20 is Anyday’s wood-fired bistro Agnes. With their steaks cooked over charcoal pits, the restaurant even goes so far as to source different types of wood for subtle shifts in flavour. Their 6+ wagyu sirloin and 9+ wagyu shortloin, served with hyper-seasonal sides, might be an investment, but we guarantee you won’t have tasted anything quite like it.
Another Brisbane favourite, SK Steak & Oyster, housed within the iconic Calile Hotel, has also taken out a spot in the top 101, coming in at number 77. If you like options when it comes to your steaks, this spot is for you, with a half-page menu proffering everything from 500g Black Angus prime rib to to exquisitely marbled kawami. Consider this your sign to treat yourself.
Famed Chocolatier Haigh’s is Finally Coming to Brisbane
Few things in life hit like a chocolate Haigh’s frog. In excellent news, Brisbanites will no longer have to go without their fix, with three Haigh’s stored slated to open by the end of 2026.
The artisan Australian chocolate brand will be kicking off the rollout with the first of the three stores in Westfield Mt Gravatt Shopping Centre in August this year. Chermside and Carindale will follow later in the year. Stay tuned for store opening details!

A Little Italy Precinct is Coming to Newstead
Panettiere Developments is set to bring a slice of Euro charm to Newstead with the construction of its luxury lifestyle and retail precinct, which began construction last week.
The $1.5 development will pay homage to the Panetterie family’s Italian heritage, and will include a cafe, an authentic Italian restaurant, pizzeria, artisan gelataria and laneway leading to a central cobblestoned plaza. A later phase of development will see the addition of an Italian-inspired mercato, delicatessen, bakery, pasta and pastry shop, alongside other retailers.
Alongside the retail offering, the precinct will include three residential towers, the centrepiece of which will be ORO, home to 197 luxury residential apartments.
Tower One, ORO and Little Italy precinct are slated for completion in 2029, with the rest of the project aiming to wrap up by 2032.
In Teglia Pizzoteca is Now Open!
Throw out your weekend plans because In Teglia Pizzoteca has just arrived in Newsetad and you’ll want to get some of their Roman-style pizza in your mouth asap. But that’s not all that’s on offer. You might need to clear your whole week to sample the array of goodies coming out of their kitchen, from the signature pizza to fluffy focaccia sandwiches, salads and apertivio.
Designed to fit seamlessly into your everyday routine, In Teglia Pizzoteca is taking the ‘special occasion’ and ‘large-format takeaway’ out of pizza, offering guests a chance to swing by, have a chat and grab a slice.
With an eye to provenance, In Teglia has sought only the best with Australian-milled Mauri flour, Brisbane’s own Casa Motta cheese and small goods from Northern Rivers producer Salumi Australia. Just our kind of place!
