The best thing about the city’s bakery boom is that previously under-serviced pockets of Brisbane and its surrounds are now scoring carb kiosks of their own. A brand-new bakery concept Patrick’s Bakery is now open at the Village Fair Shopping Centre in Regent’s Park. From a chic nook boasting checkered tile and a eye-catching green-and-white colour scheme (designed by Allo Creative and Clui Design, and constructed by Lowry Group), Patrick’s Bakery serves a selection of traditional options and gluten-free alternatives – think artisanal loaves like sourdough and ciabatta, pies, sausage rolls, croissants and doughnuts. There’s also a cake offering and sandwiches for the lunchtime crowd, not to mention specialty coffee from Bellissimo.
