When Melbourne-born bakery Croix Croissant opened its first Brisbane site in Hillcrest back in January 2024, it instantly soared to the top of our pastry rankings on the back of its range of never-before-seen creations, including its mie goreng croissants and lemon cheesecake cruffins. If you haven’t yet made the pilgrimage to sample Croix Croissant’s range, here’s some news that’ll really butter your crust – Croix Croissant now has a new shop in Newstead. Seeking a spot that was more centralised, Croix’s owners Audi and Rizka Krisnandika have snagged a vacant cafe space at 68 Commercial Road (previously home to No. 68). The space – bigger than the couple’s other nest in Hillcrest – boasts a larger kitchen, which the team is using to bolster its production capacity while also offering more dine-in space for customers. Croix Croissant Newstead is serving the same offering as its Hillcrest headquarters (including its viral double-beef burger croissant and range of vegan pastries), though plans are in the works for some special items and a  Newstead-exclusive brunch menu in the future.
