Grab a freshly baked muffin, cake, muesli or GF brownie (these are huge) for something sweet or they have a range of stuffed flatbread sandwiches and salads. From memory, prices range between $7-15 for the savoury options. The salads looked fresh and the sandwich options sounded delicious. I just had a coffee and got my standard long black with a dash of milk. It was really good - strong with no hint of bitterness. Another great takeaway coffee option in the city and their signage was meant to arrive this week, which hopefully helps them as it's hard to find.

This little hole in the wall cafe is the sister of Spring Hill's Jak and Hill, which I'm yet to visit but will have to make a trip to.

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.

But for a local bakery that's easy on the wallet where you can pick up preservative-free loaves, bRED is pretty much on the money. There are white and wholemeal loaves, baguettes and what seems to be their speciality (and the most mouth-watering); pull-aparts. They have savoury (sweet chilli and herb, spinach and feta and garlic and cheese) and sweet (apple and blueberry, apple and rhubarb and berry). There's also a huge variety of pies (most containing steak with altering accompaniments), sweet tarts, donuts, cream buns (ahhh!!), large cakes, fruit scones and vanilla slices.

Boulevard Bakery is a tiny, hole in the wall bakery on Wynnum Road. You won't find anything fancy or new in there, but it's good at the classic things. The apple turn overs are plump and creamy, the jam and cream donuts did a fine job of seducing me from the cake fridge, and the custard tarts look scrumptious. The breads are a little on the sweet side, but we'll forgive them. Most of the goods are priced between $1 and $5. Talk about cheap! Boulevard Bakery is great if you're looking for a sweet little baked snack for going between places. Grab a malted milk while you're at it and you're set to go!

Right from the start, when you walk through the store there's always someone available to take your order. Without fail, I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes before someone says, "Bonjour, what would you like today?" From there, you're opened up to a smorgasbord of tasty, filling treats ranging from delicious croissants and pain au chocolat to savory ocean trout baguette. For sure the star of the show is the variety of freshly baked breads and pastries. Everything is made in house and it shows! Every bite is delicately balanced with the right amount of sweetness. There's definitely a reason there is always a line out the door on Saturday and Sunday mornings at Choquette. They've just got the great overall package expected of a quality French cafe.

When I finally had time to return to New Farm, I made sure I paid a visit to Chouquette. Needless to say, I had great expectations to what they had to offer! Their website had given me a taste of what was in store, and I was excited for the extensive variety of bread rolls, pastries, and cakes. When I approached Chouquette, I really had expected it to be much busier, with people sitting around and conversing with French coffees - but I found it rather empty. The glass cases had a few sandwiches, a few cakes and pastries, with a few bread rolls in the back shelf- not at all what I expected, actually. The place didn't seem particularly French (though I really couldn't say what is and isn't) - no warm ambience, cold chairs and decor inside and out, and their offerings were very meager, and mostly not particularly aesthetically pleasing compared to what they displayed online. It was a bit of a disappointment to find that I couldn't find the variety of items that I saw online, and everything was a bit pricy. I did have the orange chocolate cake, which looked the most appealing, and was actually really rich and delicious (good for sharing), but I was sorely disappointed with their bread roll, which was way too dry. I'm not sure if I should have tried anything in particular- and if I just missed out on some of the good stuff, but unfortunately, Chouquette didn't leave me daydreaming about France.
