Having a to find a park at Everton Plaza can sometimes be a annoying activity, but today I rounded…read morea corner and into the vision came the bright blue logo of the Sweetie Pies bakery. I hadn't seen it before so I had to go in. The smells of freshly baked good flooded out of the doorway as I approached and when I entered I was stoked by what I saw. A cornucopia of cupcakes, breads, cakes and pies all met me. The hardest thing for me was to choose something. In the end I got half a dozen cupcakes of various flavours and looks and when I got hot to my wife we devoured them like greedy children. What a discovery. No more will I have go to the unnamed chain that has the prime spot on the main road. I have found a place that makes homemade savoury delights with some love and care. Thank you very much Sweetie Pies.

Not…read moreonly are their sweets and savoury items delicious, they're rarely ever over $10, so you're getting value for money and amazing pastries and bread while you're at it. I've frequented Everton Park Plaza all my life and I can always remember staring at the cupcakes at Sweetie Pies, begging my mother to get me one because they were so yummy. She sometimes gave in and when she did, I was in heaven. It has to compete with Brumby's around the corner but I think Sweetie Pies is a real local treasure in Everton Park. There are always yummy cupcakes and cakes wrapped up and ready to go for any passer-by and as a local business, I am more than willing to support them and commend them for their lovely food and ridiculously cheap prices. If you're in the area swing by and find out what I'm talking about.

There are always utes in the carpark. My favorite local bakery, located near the Coles in Ashgrove. I have been going to this bakery my whole life and I'm reasonably certain that they use the same recipes. If you get there early in the morning the bread is still warm...mmmm. Standard prices for a local bakery... i.e. cheap. Couple of dollars for most things. They have the whole range you would expect at a local bakery: different types of bread, rolls, pastries, meat pies, sandwiches, mini quiches, croissants, lamingtons, etc. You can also buy a meat pie or a quiche for dinner that would feed a few people. Be warned though, the croissants sell out early on Saturday mornings. Enjoy!

The previous owners did a careful handover and my son says the pies and lamingtons are maintaining the high standards established by the previous owners. The pies and mini quiches are very popular. So are the croissants: these are usually sold out by morning tea time so get in early. There is so much renovation going on in Ashgrove these days and those tradies know a good croissant when they smell one. They also often sell out of my favourite bread: the whole meal. It is fresh and tasty. Great hamburger buns and baguettes too.

When I first moved to Brisbane, my partner told me this was the BEST bakery he had ever been to…read more And the best in Brisbane. I was skeptical - mainly because it was right in our backyard, and I figured his big-noting was due to not bothering to try the competition. Turns out I was wrong to second-guess his statement. This is actually the best bakery I have ever been to. In my life. Having lived in Melbourne and Brisbane and travelled reasonably extensively. The thing that makes this place so special to me, is its unassuming nature. It's not fancy. The owners haven't spent thousands of dollars making the place look modern and slick and trendy - instead they continue to display their delectable fare in regulation glass shelving with windows. The name cards are handwritten, and the sandwiches are made in the back in clear view of the shop front. This is where I should start my review. The sandwiches. OH THE SANDWICHES! Thick cut bread - white or wholemeal, or grain. Stuffed with all manner of toppings - my favourite being the Ploughmans. This comes teaming with moist roast beef, piled high with delicious fresh salads and lashings of spicy, sweet relish. It's a joy to behold, and I can only ever eat half of one despite my best efforts. The pies and pastries are all here in all manner of flavours, but at this window my favourite is the bacon and cheese. Unlike many pies of the same name, this comes with chunky slightly chewy bacon pieces that are cut into different imprecise sized squares. The cheese is a welcome surprise when it hits, as it too is random in its size and placement throughout the mix. It's always chewy and smooth and mixes with the bacon and delicious beef and gravy mix perfectly. The pastry is golden and fluffy and makes the fresh flaky sound when you crunch into it that I love. The cupcakes are second-to-none. I have yet to get past their simple small buttery vanilla cupcakes with white icing and pastel coloured hearts. I will order four in a white cardboard box as a 'congratulations', 'I'm sorry' or 'just because' gift as I know the recipient will give me one. ;) They are so moist, so fluffy and so soft in the mouth it's like they were made by a cupcake fairy. The icing is perfection - too often you have to fight your way through thick layers of tasteless sugary plates atop your cake, but this is different. The perfect thickness, this icing has a slight crunch to it and it perfectly blends with the creamy buttery cake underneath. The staff are always cheerful if not run-off-their-feet, although I often wonder how they do it with no air conditioning - especially in the humidity and heat of a Brisbane Summer. The prices are a little more than you would pay elsewhere, but 100% deserved. You can purchase a variety of cold drinks including a variety of juice and trendy sodas (my favourite extra treat is the cherry cola). This place doesn't need to advertise at all besides its time-honoured chalk board on the footpath. It has relied on word of mouth, which has clearly spread like wildfire all over the city as this place is almost always PACKED. And for very good reason. My top tip is to grab your savory and dessert items, pick out a beverage (I hear they do great coffee too) and cart your feast to the nearby park. The kids will LOVE it and you will be enveloped by the bliss that only quality, fresh baked goods can bring.

You can also buy whole cakes and cheesecakes, and they have a range of ribbons and candles and flowers for decoration of your special gift. You should also try a local speciality - Bulimba Bombs. They are delicious, light merengue with caramel and apricot. The bakery also sells and serve Di Bella Coffee, so you can pick up a bite to eat and seat in the arcade beside the bakery and enjoy a coffee and piece of cake.

Pie fans! Look here!…read more Thanh Loi Hot Bread is where you want to stop for a snack if you're on Wynnum Road. There's nothing particularly exceptional about this bakery except that it sells pies, and lots of them. So what? you say. Every bakery sells pies. Yes, but not all of them sell old school pies. Mushy green pea pie? Steak and pepper? Mini shepherd's pie? They're all here depending on what time you come in. They've also got vegetarian options. I'll generally trust Vietnamese bakeries to produce good baked goods, and this one is no exception. The bread looks pretty damn fine. There was a loaf with dark brown swirls through it that caught my eye. If you're looking for something sweet, they've got you covered. Again, all of the classic options are available to you. Custard tarts, turnovers, scrolls- it's all there. You'll only need a fiver on you to get whatever you need. Do yourself a favour, turn off, park the car, and take some time out with a quality meat pie. Buy two, and give one to a friend.

Firstly, I would recommend that you get in early - before 8AM - before they start selling out of some of their products! They are very popular with the inner-West crowd and it is easy to see why. The food is fresh and delectable. As a frequent takeaway breakfast customer, I have had tried a number of their savory items including the Eggs Benedict pie, Ham and Cheese croissant, Croque-Monsieur, and a number of their savory pies. Each just as good as the last. The Croqe-Monsieur is my pick but all the food is filling and reasonably priced. Customer service can be a hit-and-miss but it is quick and efficient. Finally, if you are going to get a Ham and Cheese croissant I would recommend that you get them to heat up a fresh one rather than getting one from the warmer as they can harden up after too long in the heat. Bon Appétit!
