trader is the only convenient little bakery/convenience spot wedged between the qantas and virgin checkouts right next to the tiny tiger air checkout area in the Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal.
If you are looking for a spot to grab a snack/lunch or even an expresso coffee and sit down near checkin without going up into the boarding area, 'trader' is probably the only option you'll stumble across.
The good news is that the food is actually ok, better than expected. I had a country pie ($7.50) which was light on pasty and full of meet and veggies.
I'm not sure this is notable as a place to head to generally but if you are stuck at the airport and probably sitting waiting for a tiger flight or saying goodbye to friends who don't want to do the whole go-to-gate thing this place is just the thing.
I didn't try the espresso coffee but it is available along with airport convenience regulars (newspapers, mags, snacks).
Worthy for what it is. Nicely exceeded my low expectations of airport food. read more
