Located inside the bus terminal at the entrance, this shop is very easy to find. Your usual selection of doughnuts including huge calorie count doughnuts and vegan. Nothing different than any other.

I admit that at their peak, the prices were extortionate and all that hype about the quality of their doughnuts was simply ...well, HYPE! I remember a friend told me a story about another friend who flew down especially to Melbourne on the day of her birthday to import boxes of these glazed babies for her party. Hype! Hype! Hype! Krispy Kreme original glazed are the only doughnuts I'll eat. They are certainly better than donut king or Dream Donuts but they're not to die for, only a passing pick-me-up if I need junk food on my way to work. I don't know if Krispy Kreme will make it in Brisbane but we should all give it another chance otherwise it'll be reduced to being stocked at petrol station outlets.

I'm not a fan of donuts, but a really big fan of Krispy Kreme in the U.S., so when I found out…read morethere was one in Myer Center in the City (and stocked at 7-elevens), I was super excited! I don't eat donuts, except for Krispy Kreme's Original Glaze. It's the only one I feel worth the calories - so on this occasion - I downed two. It probably wasn't a smart thing to do, and I felt a little icky afterwards, but their dough is so fluff (for a donut) - so dense donut lovers - don't eat here. The crunch of the glaze along with a nice hot donut is oh so good once in a while! It doesn't taste as good as in the U.S. (as most make theirs fresh in store), but it was still decent - just a bit pricy.

They have recently renovated this place & omg it's beautiful :)!…read more The interior decor is modern & minimalistic but what I can say is that the menu has become even better! Expect this place filled on weekends & popular donut flavors are definitely gone an hour or two before they close. Their donuts are so yum. The Korean chicken & waffle I had was so bomb & flavorful ! It satisfied every flavor and texture profile for me ! If you love trying the chicken & waffles combination & enjoy Korean flavors, I recommend this dish! There is only 1 toilet & it is unisex - there is a baby change table in there too. It is table service. It sadly is a bit tricky to get parking as there is not allocated lot. Street parking is key. Definitely not a disappointment coming here again!

I love this little cafe. It's located in a bizarre corner of the industrial district of Tenerife. I…read morereally like the poured concrete floors and the gold "hello" lettering when you walk in. There are plants everywhere, another huge bonus. I love their hanging plant wall in the back, it's stunning! Per the food, I give it a 4/5. The breakfast I had was pretty average, but maybe it was because of what I ordered (the brekkie roll). The coffee wasn't great. The food does look quite glam on Instagram- and I would give it another shot for sure! Only other downside was parking, there just isn't any. SO keep that in mind, walk or uber (or be OK with making a few laps until you find something). The rating for the donuts - 6/5! I mean come on- I drive 20 minutes AND across the story bridge just to eat this pillowy clouds of goodness. I have told some many people about them, and now they too are addicted! They make a great gift to take to school or to your colleagues at work because they are so incredibly pretty (and bloody delicious!). I recommend the chocolate beetroot, maple pumpkin, peanut butter and raspberry white choc. All to die for, and way better for you than a typical fried donut. I don't think I'll ever eat a "normal" donut again! Thanks NODO!

Went here early morning after a run! It was delicious and amazing execution. Baked donut instead of…read morethe usual greasy oily fried kind! It was subtly sweet without being too strong. Very happy with my white chocolate raspberry donut :) and their great coffee was the perfect addition. A healthier version of donuts!

I love Nodo donuts and I do love their Newstead location, but the Nodo in CBD sadly fell a bit…read moreshort. They were busy that day as they were celebrating their 3rd year anniversary since opening, so there was a big line you had to wait in before being served, but the lady at the counter didn't have any knowledge about their other products that were selling. I quickly asked and pretty much got a "I don't know, I'm not sure." Plus a hurry up vibe. So I was just picking a drink and other food not knowing it's contents without properly looking because it was far away from the counter...once I picked out my drink and came back to the counter, my donuts were just pushed to the side and the lady just started serving the next customer, didn't say thank you or bye, didn't offer to print my invoice, so I was awkwardly picking up my items in the middle of them whilst the next person was ordering :| hoping it's just a one off because their donuts are great.

I had the best experience at the launch party at Chester Bakery and Bar. I really like the concept…read moreof bakery by day and bar by night. They were showing off a few items on their menu and gorgeous cocktail creations. My favorite was the rum punch. It is refreshing and before you know it, you need a refill. The food was incredible. Wagyu beef sliders with guacamole. Yes! I also loved the croquettes they were serving. For desert, the brought out brownies bites and strawberry tarts. I could have had a whole tray of strawberry tarts. The staff were SO nice!!! Even with so much going on and trying to keep up with the demands, the made sure you had a drink in your hand and you were having a great time. This made a great impression on me. I haven't been to the area so that made it even more appealing to come back. If this is just the preview of what kind of food and drink Chester B&B will serve, I will definitely be making the trek back real soon and bringing my friends!

It seems almost wrong 'updating my previous review' for Chester Street because the difference…read morebetween the same venue post-renovation and reformulation is vast. Seemingly as soon as they store opened under the hands of Damien Griffith, it shut for a little face-lift. While locals have been enjoying the fruits of a pop-up bakery while the renos were underway, the curtains were finally lifted this week in a series of test kitchen dinners and finally the grand re-opening on Friday. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the test kitchens (as a guest of the venue), and being on a table with other food bloggers meant we were able to sample almost 80% of the menu. From bar bites including a wagyu burger (my favourite), braised leek & bacon croquettes, fresh gravlax, creamy hummus with spiced lamb (which could have come with more than one slice of bread given the ample serving of hummus - it easily fed 6 of us), and a duck and mushroom pie (for the price, myself and others on the night agreed it could come with more of a ploughman's plate arrangement. The duck was moist and the side of pear chutney complimented it well). There's mains like the grilled barramundi (not amazing and a little dry in parts) or the lamb (this was the hero dish from everyone at the table). And, if there was still any room left there's a range of desserts by Jocelyn Hancock including my personal favourite the chocolate and almond cake with espresso creme fraiche. There's also a passionfruit tart, deconstructed eton mess and citrus cake. The space is beautifully simple with white subway tiles leaving way for the main attraction; the wood fired oven. Bakery by day, bar by night, this concept as are many born from Damien Griffith, is an ambitious one. But, if there's anyone in Brisbane to make it work it's this guy. It's novel to think that the same spot that can provide you a fresh loaf of ciabatta or sourdough at 7am can be feeding you delicious meals (either constructing a meal from the bar bites and sharing amongst a group or taking advantage of a main to yourself) and cocktails (try the Aperol Peach Spritz for a Summer refresher) at 7pm in the same day. I think this venue's versatility, location just a hop, skip and jump from James Street and combination of accessible fuss-free food with a focus on premium ingredients gives it an edge as the new "hot spot" in the area.

They always give you a cute biscuit to go with your coffee too and offer bits and pieces at the register to tate test - can't argue with that. If you want to sit and stay for a while, the tables are covered with butchers paper, so children can do some drawing while mum or dad reads the supplied newspaper. Some of my favourites at La Vosh Patisserie include the ham and cheese croissant, the plain yeast raised doughnut and the blueberry bagel.
