My husband and I shared a long Halfbrick (chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce & avocado) sandwich, and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup for lunch. The bread was chewy and had an artisan feel about it, and the fillings were really good quality. The broccoli cheddar soup was terrific. We thought that the prices were very reasonable and the staff were really friendly.

I've been frequenting this place regularly and they'd have to have one of the best Bahn Mi offerings outside of West End and Sunnybank. Whilst more pricey than most places, the Bahn Mi here boast a load of filling and flavour - with the pork meatball offering being the best. The pies are also worth checking out, as is the wide variety of hot food in the cabinet at the front - steer clear of the spring rolls though. They ain't great.

These guys do a great one. I'd really love it if they'd add a hit of maggi sauce, and some sharper pickled veg. I'd also love it if they'd add the pate that is so common in Vietnam. But these are quibbles with what are a: cheap, b: great value and c: very tasty sandwiches. They'll add a really cracking chilli paste if you ask them. They also do great noodle salads for under $8. The meatball and spring roll is a personal favourite. I probably wouldn't rate them as a replacement for Mrs Luu's over in Miltion which is doing really great things with Vietnamese 'street' lunches of all persuasions. That said, Central Brunswick Bakery punches well above the weight of the standard small family bakery and is terrific value. I'm assured their cold ricepaper rolls are also lovely and they stock standard bakery fare as well.

They had a good amount of people dining there with cool music playing so I decided to give it a try. You go up to the bar to order your food & drink and receive a number to take to your table. I was hoping for an IPA but one wasn't available. Settled on another ale the bartender recommended and it was decent enough. Received my order of fish & chips in a fairly quick amount of time. Fish & chips were hot and crisp but fries had too much salt. Needed to ask for ketchup and still was trying to rub some of the salt of each fry before eating. Instead of salad received coleslaw that was quite heavily dressed. I only ate one bite. I would give them another try if I was in the immediate area but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again.

I like the location of Spoon and can see why it's tempting for James St Market shoppers to pop in post/pre shopping and grab a quick cup of joe. Personally, I would make the one minute walk around the back of the markets to grab a coffee at Campos than settle for an okay coffee at Spoon. It sounds mean but I personally think Spoon needs to pick up its game. There are so many new coffee houses springing up with exciting menus and delicious coffee - Spoon needs to work a little harder to keep up. Salads are good as are the toasted sandwiches. The BEST thing about Spoon is the gourmet produce for sale on site - a nice range and reasonably priced.

Surely you need two pieces of toast for 2 eggs?

When I first moved to Brisbane, my partner told me this was the BEST bakery he had ever been to…read more And the best in Brisbane. I was skeptical - mainly because it was right in our backyard, and I figured his big-noting was due to not bothering to try the competition. Turns out I was wrong to second-guess his statement. This is actually the best bakery I have ever been to. In my life. Having lived in Melbourne and Brisbane and travelled reasonably extensively. The thing that makes this place so special to me, is its unassuming nature. It's not fancy. The owners haven't spent thousands of dollars making the place look modern and slick and trendy - instead they continue to display their delectable fare in regulation glass shelving with windows. The name cards are handwritten, and the sandwiches are made in the back in clear view of the shop front. This is where I should start my review. The sandwiches. OH THE SANDWICHES! Thick cut bread - white or wholemeal, or grain. Stuffed with all manner of toppings - my favourite being the Ploughmans. This comes teaming with moist roast beef, piled high with delicious fresh salads and lashings of spicy, sweet relish. It's a joy to behold, and I can only ever eat half of one despite my best efforts. The pies and pastries are all here in all manner of flavours, but at this window my favourite is the bacon and cheese. Unlike many pies of the same name, this comes with chunky slightly chewy bacon pieces that are cut into different imprecise sized squares. The cheese is a welcome surprise when it hits, as it too is random in its size and placement throughout the mix. It's always chewy and smooth and mixes with the bacon and delicious beef and gravy mix perfectly. The pastry is golden and fluffy and makes the fresh flaky sound when you crunch into it that I love. The cupcakes are second-to-none. I have yet to get past their simple small buttery vanilla cupcakes with white icing and pastel coloured hearts. I will order four in a white cardboard box as a 'congratulations', 'I'm sorry' or 'just because' gift as I know the recipient will give me one. ;) They are so moist, so fluffy and so soft in the mouth it's like they were made by a cupcake fairy. The icing is perfection - too often you have to fight your way through thick layers of tasteless sugary plates atop your cake, but this is different. The perfect thickness, this icing has a slight crunch to it and it perfectly blends with the creamy buttery cake underneath. The staff are always cheerful if not run-off-their-feet, although I often wonder how they do it with no air conditioning - especially in the humidity and heat of a Brisbane Summer. The prices are a little more than you would pay elsewhere, but 100% deserved. You can purchase a variety of cold drinks including a variety of juice and trendy sodas (my favourite extra treat is the cherry cola). This place doesn't need to advertise at all besides its time-honoured chalk board on the footpath. It has relied on word of mouth, which has clearly spread like wildfire all over the city as this place is almost always PACKED. And for very good reason. My top tip is to grab your savory and dessert items, pick out a beverage (I hear they do great coffee too) and cart your feast to the nearby park. The kids will LOVE it and you will be enveloped by the bliss that only quality, fresh baked goods can bring.
