Agnes Bakery

Ah, let me tell you about **Agnes**, the charming bakery in Brisbane that’s renowned for its croissants, which are simply the best in the city. This quaint weatherboard shack has a delightful presence, though I couldn’t help but notice the back has been sliced and covered up with plywood—an intriguing sight, indeed. Now, those croissants! They are a marvel—flaky on the outside, golden and crisp, with a soft, divine core that just melts in your mouth. Each bite is a testament to the baker's skill and dedication, making it impossible to resist. Agnes offers a tempting array of flavours. You have the classic chocolate that’s rich and indulgent, alongside fruity berry options bursting with freshness. The savoury varieties add an unexpected twist that keeps you wanting more. During my visit, I spotted those sourdough loaves on display and even saw the baker skillfully crafting them at the back. They looked utterly delicious, but alas, I simply didn’t have enough room in my tummy to try one. Next time, I promise myself! You can’t miss the long queues that often snake around the block. It’s a true testament to the bakery’s popularity, and while the wait can be lengthy, it only builds the anticipation. It’s a lovely chance to chat with fellow pastry enthusiasts while you wait for those heavenly treats. As for the coffee, it’s perfectly adequate, but it pales in comparison to the glory of those croissants. I’d recommend focusing on the pastries for a truly delightful experience. Despite the changes happening around the building, I hope Agnes continues to thrive and remain a cherished spot for all who appreciate fine baking. So, if you find yourself in Brisbane, do make it a point to visit Agnes. Grab a croissant or two, and perhaps save room for that sourdough next time. Your taste buds will be eternally grateful!

It's not often you have a dessert and then think about it for a few days afterwards. The chocolate tart is that dessert here. If they have the chocolate tart then you need to get yourself. The seasonal plum dessert is good too. This was all on my first visit. I came for a 2nd visit today and got the potato pie and the chocolate croissant. The potato pie was great. Had a bit of everything inside with the potato to give it a warm taste. The chocolate croissant was good too. It had a nice flaky crust too. A must stop bakery if you're in Brissy....even for one night only. You won't regret it. Unless you can't get the chocolate tart too.

Some of the best sourdough I’ve ever had. First tried it at salt recently on their banana toast and loved its chewy and fresh yet soft texture. Yesterday I decided to try the smoky potato fermented sourdough which is listed as one of their bestsellers. I am in love. Had with tahini and maple syrup and so chewy, fresh and buttery. Will be back. They did say the oven is malfunctioning so they were unable to make it as smoky as usual so I’m curious in the future how this potato loaf will differ in taste. Prepare for lines

There is a line outside the door as per usual. It's easy to see why. A nice layout with quality bread and pâtissière is on display. We had a beef and mushroom pie a potato croissant and a kougin amann. Unfortunately the pie was lacking flavour and both it and the croissant were undercooked and doughy. The kougin amann was nice with a delicious custard and it was cooked through. The coffee is excellent! Friendly fast service. Don't be deterred if there is a queue. Perhaps we just got a batch from the oven which wasn't hot enough. Not prepared to give a poor rating on one visit. So 3 stars for the food. Hopefully next time it will be better. Recommended!

Agnes is a wonderful little place that is always packed. Their smoked bread is phenomenal and takes a ham and cheese sandwich to a whole new level. Highly recommend this cute little bakery.

Omg it’s one of the best bakery in the city I found so far!!! Always a queue but definitely worth waiting. The staffs are warming and energetic. Wide selection, made me hard to choose!! 100% get Basque cheesecake. God quality sourdough as well. I’d love to try all of them.

We stopped by Agnes Bakery, and let me tell you, the line of people waiting for their coffee and pastries was totally worth it! The buzz around this place is real, and once we got our hands on the treats, it was easy to see why. The pastries were fresh, flaky, and packed with flavor, and the coffee was spot-on. It was definitely one of those spots where the wait just made the experience even better. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back next time we’re in the area!

Found Agnes Bakery on a weekend to Brisbane, and so happy that we did! If you are near by and in need of a delicious treat, perfectly baked bread, or smooth coffee, it is most definitely worth it! The hardest part will be walking away with only a few treats, and not one of everything!
