Le Bon Choix do not sell Gluten Free food sadly. Chermside store definitely does not.

Located in the old Bank Building it has a good choice of dining in or outside. Most people come for the pastries and desserts but lunch is a favorite. Ordered the sweet potato and capsicum soup - this is a winter staple, served with two bread rolls. It is excellent and they do run out - been disappointed when arrived late. The coffee is good - would not say great but it is a French cafe, after all. There are other food choices but very limited gluten free options - the macaronis are gf except the cookies & cream. The desserts speak for themselves. read more

Great authentic French bakery right in downtown Brisbane. Their case had an amazing selection of pastries and confections. I grabbed an almond croissant twice during my stay and it was delicious every time. Higher prices and great service. Top notch, world class French bakery. read more

Le Bon Choix is a convenient venue to pop into for a quick bite; I've stopped there a few times. While the quality of the baked goods used to be quite high, on my last visit I was positively under whelmed by the available options for dining in. The Croque Monsieur I ordered obviously came out of a cupboard pre-made; when it was placed in front of me, it looked to have been nuked in a microwave for a couple of minutes. The look wasn't very appetizing, and the taste was even worse :-( My coffee tasted like dishwater that they hadn't even taken the dishrag out of :-( Bottom line: Between my irradiated Croque Monsieur, and the completely horrible coffee, it's obvious that this place is no longer worth visiting; I won't be returning. read more

The only thing that's Australian about this place is its address. If I were blindfolded, flown to Brisbane, taken to Le Bon Choix with the blinds closed, I would have thought someone kidnapped me to Paris. The décor is typical clean delicate French. The employees all have a French accent, and the desserts are what you would see in the myriad of bakeries lining Champs-Elysees. Initially, Le Bon Choix didn't impress too much. When you walk in, all you see is simple pastries and sandwiches. However, as you walk around to the north side of the shop, you will see rows upon rows of delicately crafted and stunningly vibrant individually sized cakes. Most notable are the following two: - L'Esperance: Smooth coconut mousse, filled with crunchy chocolate pearls, laced with passionfruit jelly - Bamboleo: Mixed fusion of mango mousse, passionfruit and banana jelly If you haven't noticed, I have an affinity for passionfruit. When you bite into one of these, it's like the sweet and receptors and sour receptors in your taste buds are dancing to the Blue Danube Waltz. Each of the cakes is so delicately fluffy it feels like you're biting into a cloud. Words don't do it justice. Pictures might help, but there's nothing like the experience itself. No wonder almost every travel website on Brisbane lists Le Bon Choix as one of the top cafes in town. read more

I went to Le Bon Choix for a coffee and treat after brekkie on my last day in Brissie and what a brilliant call that was! I love it!.. Love it!!! Love it!!! It's at 379 Queen Street so about a 10 minute stroll from the CBD and, with all the offices and shops closed in this part of town on Sunday, it's pretty quiet but it's ok.. kind of a nice change if you think about it.. Le Bon Choix is very 'French' all the way - the interior is quite vibrant with the white walls going well with the white tiles and the whole place just feels very fresh.. The counter and display are at the centre so you can walk around and feast your eyes on all the delicious bread and treats on offer. All of the staff were french when we went and we were greeted with a pleasant smile followed by a Bonjour. The girl who served us was great - attentive, warm and very nice. My flatwhite was quite good and I also had a Lenette (White chocolate mousse with a pear and honey jelly and chocolate brownie) which was abso-freakin-lutely awesome! Tell you what though.. I had all sorts of trouble choosing what to get.. They all looked delicious - the Akina (12 layers of chocolate, mint tones, mousse and cake), the eclairs!, Lucie (Combination of a coconut dacquiose and a light strawberry mousse) to name a few and I had struggled big time to refrain myself from going for seconds! Le Bon Choix is not just about sweet treats though. They also Turkish, Sourdough, Ciabatta and baguettes. The ham and salad baguette and Croque Monsieur looked great. This place is a definite must-try. I can't wait until my next trip - Vanilla Eclairs.. We'll meet again... read more

Just like a Parisian cafe -- literally. Le Bon Choix is a neat copypasta of an average Parisian cafe in the heart of Brisbane CBD. After reading some rave reviews, I stopped by one Tuesday afternoon. The counter is clean and white with the tarts behind clear perspect. The staff greet you with a Bon Jour in a thick French accent. Be sure to BonJour back, it's the polite thing to do. The decor is very Paris. All the way down to the chairs outside which look identical to any Parisian cafe on the seine. Perhaps it was the time of day, but the Eclair I ordered was rather average. The pastry was dry and only half filled with creme. Disappointing for $7 a pop. The Lucie, a smokestack of raspberry mousse, was adequate but I was left wanting. The coffee was smooth and delicate, and served with a glass of water, a very European custom that cafes everywhere should adopt. If you're a francophile, save yourself the airfare to Europe and give this place a go. read more

Simple order of a tuna roll a day a drink never arrived. When I asked when it would be ready they'd lost my order and couldn't make. Offered something else, that order was also lost. Make sure you have plenty of time if you come here (I didn't). read more

The city is quite literally overflowing with places where you can get a coffee and something to eat. You would then think that they are all the same then and that you choose one by what ever is closest to where you work or happen to be walking at the time you want a coffee. I am glad to say that luckily this is not the case and i for one am glad that its not because that would make life far to boring. Le Bon Choix is great place to have a morning or lunch time coffee and due to its location is frequented by the masses who work in the CBD. This is for good reason because for the time you there you can pretend as if you have escaped to Paris with one of their many French inspired pastries. And yes they do a mean croissant which should go with out saying. The coffee is good as well so even if you are just in need of a morning pick me up Le Bon Chiox s great. read more

Oh Le Bon Choix, how I love your Chocolate Eclairs. On a summer's day, I sink my teeth into one, tasting first the sweet icing, then the slightly savoury choux pastry and finally, out oozes the cool chocolate filling. I've been told by a Frenchie in Brisbane that Le Bon Choix is the best patisserie--better than Chouquette in Newfarm, and better than French Twist--and I would have to agree. It has a huge range of pastries, sweet things and breads and is well-equipped with indoor and outdoor seating. It's true that Le Bon Choix is "the right choice". read more

If you want a great dessert this is the place.. the place seems to run out of selections so get there early you won't be disappointed. I got a selection of desserts. The caramel cake was my favorite. The staff was helpful in giving recommendations and very knowledgeable. The coffee side was also very tasty. Definitely will be stopping here again before we leave. read more

Really nice establishment. Their menu is very lofty with so many choices. Had the Bacon Quiche that was so flaky and flavorful. A decadence if awesome treats for the sweet tooth too. Must stop in. read more

Beautiful Flat White and possibly the tastiest almond croissant ever. The staff were friendly and the outdoor seating is shady.

OH MY CHOIX. This place is heaven on earth. Sublime. Perfection. Nirvana. I can't stress it enough. I'm a major Francophile and this place does Paris justice. J'adore the array of sandwiches and pastries available here. And oh goodness, can we just talk about their coffee? Such a lovely espresso to pair with the most perfect croissant, macaron, or the best chicken salad sandwich I have EVER and probably will ever have in my life. I have been to Brisbane twice for a week each. Each time, I insisted that we visit Le Bon Choix (multiple times). I first found this divine creation when I was preparing for my Aussie boyfriend's birthday and decided to order a cake to surprise him at his birthday party. I ordered it a few weeks in advance and was pleased to hear French accents over the phone. It was beautiful and delicious and a big hit! Then I went back and decided to try some savory things. That's when I met the sandwich of my dreams - chicken salad sandwich COME BACK TO ME! It was served on the crispiest yet most tender ciabatta bread ever. I don't know how it worked out but it was toasted to perfection and the flavor of the sandwich was heavenly! I tried to go back there again right before I went to the airport but they were unfortunately not open at the time :(. I know Aussies are not huge on Yelp but being an American, I just had to rave about this place here! There are more rave reviews you can find on urban spoon but pish posh. I'm quite the french food connoisseur (if I do say so myself) so please take my advice and come here now, come here often, and whatsapp me some pictures so I can dream about it at night. BON APPÉTIT! read more

Very French. Didn't entirely understand lady behind counter for her thick French accent :). Having visited Paris recently, it reminded us of the Paul franchises there. Enjoyed the range and approach. read more

Worst staff and horrid customer service every single time I have attempted to purchase and go. They just completely ignore you. This morning I got in there before 8am. Staff member with glasses was serving customer macarons. I lined up after two other people. Once she'd done serving her, she kept on about refilling the macarons. The line started to build. I ask if she could please serve. Threw her arm to the right stating that another would be with us. I then asked another inept staff member filling pastries if she would serve. Ignored me. The old fart at the front of our line then put his two cents in from the other counter, so I told him off in my Italian language. Then the long-haired entitled female getting served decided to put her five cents in, informing me how busy they were. There was noone sitting at the tables, yet, the line up behind was growing. Fed up I walked up to the pastries filler and told her that this happens every single time I come in. Which is, ignore those standing at the counter. So, it has been building up ever since they established themselves at Chermside. Without fail, they just enjoy ignoring those standing at the counter. Ordinarily, I am happy to wait BECAUSE the tables are full and no doubt they are filling those orders. Absolutely pathetic individuals and there is NO way in hell I would stand for any of that if I held a position of supervision. Customers have always been very important in my book. Customer service is critically mortifying in today's society. read more

Really cute little patisserie, I ordered an assortment of treats & asked them to write a cute note to throw in there, then had someone pickup and deliver to my wife at her workplace. She was really happy & found the little note that came with the treats adorable. Made her day & my night :-). Thanks guys. read more

'Bonjour!' is what I hear from the Barista as I enter this quaint cafe at the seat of Eagle and Queen streets. Its something as small and seemingly insignificant (for some) like a greeting in someone's native tongue that can set you up for a pleasant experience. And thats just what my first visit to Le Bon Choix was. I had the best coffee I have had that end of Queen and a great little ham and salad baguette that just overflowed with fresh ingredients and flavor. Its the simple things that for some cafes let them down, but for this French example they just get it right. read more

This bakery and patisserie is definitely 'the right choice' if you're after a decent coffee and delectable snack. Nestled on the corner of a busy intersection in the city, it provides the ultimate mid-morning escape from the daily grind. Take a seat under the massive fig tree and indulge in delicately created French morsels - from gooey and oh-so-naughty-but-completely-worth-it almond croissants to an array of chocolate, mint and orange infused mousses. For those who don't err on the side of pastries, there is a fine selection of typical French savoury fare. The baguettes, sandwiches and salads are not to be snubbed, but are also not the reason I choose to frequent the place. So I'll withhold judgement and settle with my oozingly rich chocolate fondant instead. read more

Headed to Le Bon Choix at 3ish which was good as we just missed the lunch hour crowd, so service was pretty fast. Had the Mushroom Quiche and it was delicious! Went with a couple of friends and stayed there for a couple of hours and just chat about lives and what not. Love the cafe environment; minimalistic, modern looking and simplistic. The customer service by the chefs (French guys) were great. Besides the quiche, there're also pies and sweet stuffs available, didn't get the chance to try those. If i've the chance, I would definitely go back again before flying back to SA. Till next time then! read more

Pastries are okay -- best if eaten first thing in the morning because by lunch time they are average and not tasting fresh. They microwave pastries etc for lunch which is absolutely awful! Pastries need to be flaky and therefore need to stay in a oven to maintain crispiness. Needs improvement. read more

I always end up back at this place when I need a cake, they are truly the best! I just wish there was a location closer to me:)

I wish I had enough sense to bring my mom here when she was visiting me in Brisbane, because it seems like the perfect place to take your parents for a delicious coffee and some beautiful French pastries. I very much enjoyed my 'lanette?" a hexagon of white chocolate mousse filled with honeyed pear and chocolate brownie, whilst El Hub thoroughly enjoyed his dense dark chocolate tart cake with a candied perillo plum. Although the prices are steep, you truly get what you pay for, and it is totally worth splurging on every now and then. Please note that the little square Le Bon Choix nameplates stuck on all of the pastries are not, contrary to my unwavering belief, edible. DO NOT pop it in your mouth. It IS plastic :) read more

Le Bon Choix has the atmosphere of an upper class Parisian patisserie. A bit like French Twist. The croissant and Danish I had could have been yesterday's. They weren't great. The millefeuille are good however. Le Bon Choix aren't a great viennoiserie, but a better patisserie. If you're after the best croissant and pain au chocolat in Brisbane, and after a more authentic experience, try Chouquette in New Farm. read more

Great range of pastries, cakes & sandwiches. Very good coffee & in a convenient location.

Great spot, and great food. Very happy with the sandwiches. Fresh and under $10. The service was very professional and friendly. The chocolate filled donuts...oh mannn. It's a nice environment inside too, so all round quite happy with this spot! read more

Cakes are excuisite! Delicate original flavours. My favourite bakery. Definitely not to be missed for a special occasion!

This is such an amazing cafe to have right in Brisbane city. Desserts are pure quality and they do heaps of French savoury items as well. It will take me forever to try everything there is so much to choose from. My favourite thing so far? Everything I have ever tried there. Sublime! The staff are also extremely nice and welcoming. La Bon Choix is easily one of my favourite cafe's in Brisbane. read more

This is a horrible place. It deserves no stars. The staff is a horribly rude and arrogant with no decency to apologize for completely ignoring our coffees and food for 40 whole mins, "forgetting" to serve our coffee. We WASTED $25 on this horrible place. Completely ruined our morning. When we did get our pastries, they were frozen cold especially when we asked for it to be warmed. Coffee was delayed twice after being EXPLICITLY reminded. Horrible service. Horrible staff. The cakes weren't even that good. Don't go here, find another Le Bon choix in Brisbane CBD or elsewhere. Truly a waste of time. read more

I love this place! It's so cute. I've been here a couple of times and it never disappoints me. They have a selection of cakes and breads. The cakes are all so pretty. Tried the chocolate cake and it was very good. Also tried their almond croissant - soo good! They actually have almond meal inside the croissant which is probably what makes it so yummy. If I had any complaint, it would probably be the furnishings....I get that they're trying to keep it simple and minimalist but the ambience inside the cafe doesn't feel very cosy. The outside seatings look for inviting. Nonetheless, it's still a great cafe - a rare gem in Brisbane. A bonus is, this place is very instagram-friendly for those who like to take pics!! read more
