The Bakers Duck

Top choice in Brisbane & Around


A hip, pared-down, urbane cafe-bakery, the Bakers Duck is a local legend, famed for its artisanal sourdough bread and pastries. These include gorgeous almond croissants and a cult-status strawberry cheesecake pastry. The generous, flaky pies, sausage rolls and quiches make for a cheap, good-quality lunch, while the coffee is some of the best you'll slurp in the state.
