Flour & Chocolate

Looooove the croissants!!!
Take my daughter when we are in the area, her croissant doesnt make it home

Service has always been consistently good whenever I come here. Their baked goods are just divine! It’s definitely worth the trip from the northside for me! I tell everyone that this place is like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for baked treats! Call ahead to reserve some baked goods to avoid disappointment!

Best bread in Brisbane, sourdough to die for and cakes oh those yummie cakes. My favorite is with turkish delight in the middle.

Lucky me, I live less than 2mins drive from F&C. This is the best European style bakery in Brisbane.
Everything is fabulous, you can’t go wrong other than to drive past without stopping in for a treat!
Don’t come here looking for an Aussie meat pie or those cheap cheese and bacon rolls. F&C do all the fine bakery fare and they do an amazing job!
Watch out for the long queues on the weekends as well as during the rush hours like breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon team and any other time that suit the masses that come here.

Holy Toledo, this is one seriously great bakery in the suburbs of Brisbane! We had a wide selection of things from filled doughnuts to bread rolls to millefeuille to an almond croissant, and I’m super irritated to report that everything was just about the best version of that thing I’d ever had. Irritated? Yes, irritated that this place is a 24 hour plane right from my home to get to! Seriously. This bakery is that good — one of the best pastry bakeries I’ve been to in years. We will frequent it often while in Brisbane, and I will likely dream about it for years to come. Run to Flour & Chocolate if you are within earshot of Brisbane. You are welcome.

A ridiculous selection of delicious treats. The constantly changing menu is a great way to try new flavours but there are enough classics on constant rotation to avoid feeling like you’ve missed out if you can’t (like most people) eat every meal there.

I brought some choc Jaffa donuts which are Devine and snicker donuts. They are only open till 2pm and the donuts go real quick so visit this place early. They have a small selection of products such as marmalades, gourmet salts, and other fine products on the shelf. Staff are friendly and the bread is very good.

This is my absolute favorite spot in Brisbane! As a primarily nocturnal creature, it is a miracle that I get up at eight to nab some of these goodies. The apple crumble Danish is just dreamy… everything else is also freaking delicious, so don’t pop by when you’re on a diet! The girls who work there are really lovely too! Yay!

I Can’t. Even. Deal. This place made me loose my mind, I walked in and felt like twirling around and singing like I was on a hilltop in The Sound of Music. I think my pupils dilated and I went into a heightened state of being. I wanted to literally buy everything in the shop. The lady behind the counter actually laughed at me because I could hardly contain myself. My friend and I went on Thursday which was «Gonut» AKA Cronut day and I proceeded to buy 3… I ended up eating 2 that day, which was a bad move in the long term (I know, I know), but it was unavoidable. I got two Salted Caramel ones and a Cinnamon sugar one. It was like biting into the naughtiest thing ever, but sooo good. I’m pregnant so it’s not even me guys, my baby that made me do it. I also bought a box of amazing petit four things for a friend’s birthday, I really didn’t want to hand them over, but I’m a pretty amazing friend. Sigh. I did have visions of being a Gollum and slinking away muttering «my precious!»
I also had a taste of their sour dough bread and now I must buy this. I’m already planning when I can go in there next… but I swear next time I’ll play it cool.

This place is seriously Good!!! Savouries, sweets, breads, sausage rolls, bread rolls filled with delectable goodies, gourmet pantry goods — this place has it all! Yum yum yum yum yum

When someone asks me what Happiness means, I will tell them «Flour & Chocolate Patisserie». This is arguably, the best bakery in Brisbane. They’ve won best Croissant and Best Palmier 2013. It’s a humble little shop, but their amazing array of breads, cakes, tarts, pastries, croissants, croughnuts, brownies, foccacias, quiches, rolls and savoury goods, make them a standout. It’s a view shared by many, because there’s usually a line that sometimes goes all the way out the doors during peak mornings. Be prepared to throw away any ideas about what you may want, because once you go in you’ll lose focus & end up coming away with more. Ooh look at that cake! Wow, that croissant looks delish! Is that a croughnut? That looks so good! See what I mean, distractions. Keep an open mind instead. As you walk in, you are greeted with this beautiful smell, a combination of all the fresh pastries, breads, and cakes, putting you under a spell. This spell, meant I was at Flour & Chocolate 3 days in a row once. Not good for the «abs».
I also appreciate, how the staff provide excellent & friendly service each time I have been there. Our favourites are the pistachio croughnuts (cross between a donut & croissant — renamed «Gonuts»), the almond croissants, melting moments, the Flourless Chocolate & Hazelnut cake topped with dark chocolate ganache & toffee shards, as well as the sausage rolls. Prices range from $ 1.80 (for brownies) through to the high-​end (for the largest of cakes). Closed Mondays & Tuesdays, follow their facebook page for their «Specialty Days».

It’s a good thing it takes me a good 20 minutes to drive here and often the traffic deters me from doing so, otherwise my hips wouldn’t lie for me to hide the amount of sweet delicious baked goodness I would consume merrily from this bakery. I dare you to walk in and not purchase anything from their range of tarts, cronuts, donuts, condiments, danishes or mini bar cakes.
I drove that 20 mins I mentioned to try one of their much talked about cronuts. I’d had my heart set on the raspberry one (I’ll do anything for raspberry) but alas had to settle for plain cinnamon and a salted caramel option. There was nothing wrong with the quality of the cronut — it was flaky and fluffy in equal parts. I just don’t think this food trend is for me. Still, the figures don’t lie and these babies are literally walking out the door for Flour & Chocolate. I’m yet to sample their equally famous donuts (give a girl time!) but their mini bar cakes always go down a treat for a simple morning tea when the parents visit or you just want to eat a small slice of heaven without the guilt of a whole cake still staring back at you.

This little patisserie on the East side of Brisbane may seem small but it is packed with deliciousness.
I am a huge fan of their quiches made from melt in your mouth short crust pastry and come in several flavours. I always get the potato and bacon and also the mushroom and fetta. There a big generous pieces of ingredients in them.
I recently discovered that Wednesdays are bagel days at Flour & Chocolate. I am yet to try one but they looked great.
Another must try is one of their famous palmiers. Unlike other palmiers I have had before they are simply divine and are perfect to have with a cup of coffee.
There are still so many more things I need to try, cakes, brownies, almond croissants!!!

Finally, Finally, Finally. After years of waiting, a decent bakery on this side of town. No more Sunday morning trips across to New Farm.
I do a disservice when I say decent. This is the real deal. Fantastic croissants, almond croissants and pains au chocolat. Wonderful breads (what a mouthwatering variety) and great cakes (flourless chocolate cake is to die for).
And on top of it all, what a lovely family. Friendly and helpful service. What more could you want.
Don’t waste your time or money going to anywhere else around Bulimba/​Hawthorne/​Morningside.

Love this bakery. The guy that owns it came from Jocellyn’s Provisions and his choc croissants are divine. There is also a decent selection of flourless items for those that need Gluten Free. A little pricey, but worth it for the indulgence.

The racks of fresh breads and croissants draw you into this tiny, tiled wonder, and they don’t disappoint. There are savoury and sweet croissants to choose from — unless you get distracted by the further sweet and savoury delicacies on display in the glass counter or on the heated racks. Hold your ground, because you can always order more than one thing. I left with a savoury croissant (the ol’ traditional ham & cheese) AND a sweet galette — also, no regrets.
The breads are made with organic flour, free-​range eggs, and no additives. Everything made in-​house is made with care, and even in a brief transaction here you can tell there is a lot of heart put into this endeavour. There are a number of gluten-​free options here, too, as well as shelves full of little gourmet treats like jarred preserves and jams.
Hiding in a block of shops with neighbours like a physio and a dentist may unfortunately be Flour & Chocolate’s downfall, and it’s hidden quite well due to the general structure of 621 Wynnum Rd, with shopfronts well back from the road. Let’s just hope word of mouth travels far and wide. I’d love to see this patisserie in a more inviting space.
