I have never been a fan of Brumby's or Baker's Delight with their jam and cream buns, cheesymite…read morescrolls and date scones. I prefer to go to specialist patisseries for baked goods and breads. Bumbleebee Bakery at Eight Mile Plains is the exception to the rule. As a bakery, it does a mean trade on meat pies, sausage rolls and those nasty, artery blocking jam and cream buns. There are also some scrumptious cakes and macaroons available. The macaroons are $2.20 each or six for $13. They come in an assortment of flavours and the fillings are more buttery than creamy. There is also a small Chinese baked goods section with sweet breads filled with red bean paste, BBQ pork buns and coconut buns. It's sort of like a sampler selection from Breadtop. To top it off, the staff are always friendly and cheerful. Usually they're out the back whipping up fresh new cakes but will immediately bustle out as soon as you ring the bell. What more can one ask from a neighbourhood bakery? Bumblebee gets five out of five from me for being the first decent bakery on Brisbane's far South side.

$2.50 Banana Bread! $2.50 BANANA BREAD!…read more I was very excited to discover this place. Maybe not at first, as when I first stepped inside I was rather taken aback with how empty the display cabinet looked, and how desolate the rest of the store was. Just as I was formulating an escape plan the very cheerful woman behind the counter greeted me. I had no choice but to step forward and take a look. Nothing appealed to me greatly, apart from the thickly sliced Banana Bread. I enquired as to the price and was astonished; $2.50 Banana Bread! You many think my reaction is a little extreme, but I love Banana Bread and if you're not a regular eater of this amazing delicacy you won't appreciate just what good value that is. Most places charge at least $4, while I've paid up to an obscene $7.50 for a slice before. Unfortunately there's nothing else to rave about in this place, but seriously, $2.50 Banana Bread!

Great business with good service. If you are a tradey driving by wanting some smoko or you are…read moreorganising a morning tea with some friends there is plenty here to tempt the taste buds. Birthday cakes are made to order. In my mind the pies are good and I think Plaza Hot Bread is offering consistently good quality bakery food. I find the prices reasonable. Early in the morning you can stop out the front. There is plenty of car park parking if you come later in the day.

Customer service disgusting. Ordered a birthday cake, told them date and time I would be in to…read morepick it up. When i got there, first they couldnt find the cake, then they told me they had to make it. I was told it would take 30 minutes and they would ring me when it was done. 30 minutes passed, no phone call, an hour passed, no phone call. So I tried to ring them to see if it was ready, the number had been disconnected. So I had to leave my sons birthday party to see if his cake was ready. It was, when I asked why they didnt ring when they said they would, her response was I forgot. Not good enough.
