About Doughcraft
Doughcraft is a bit of a hybrid, and it's worth knowing that going in. It's an Italian restaurant in Brisbane City that opens early for coffee and pastries, then turns to a proper sit-down Italian menu for lunch and dinner. If you're after a bakery in Brisbane City for something flaky with your morning coffee, it fits. Just don't expect a traditional bakery counter.
The pastries get plenty of love, croissants included. We've heard they have an interesting selection, and one local called the pastry divine and the coffee good, though they'd have liked a more adventurous filling in the ham and cheese croissant. It's also described as a nice spot for a casual catch-up over coffee, though one visitor found it a touch dark inside.
Later in the day the focus shifts to pasta and pinsa. The duck lasagne is the dish that keeps coming up, and the profiteroles have been called the best one local had tried. People also rave about the arancini, and the focaccia with its garlic butter candle is something you don't see every day. Opinion on the pizza is a little split, with one person finding the toppings sat loosely on the base, so the pasta may be the safer bet there.
The service is a big part of the story. Staff are described as friendly, welcoming and attentive, and several people have been won over by small touches, like a birthday dessert for a daughter's celebration and a complimentary limoncello from the manager. Federica and Amber both get a mention by name.
You can dine in, take away or book a table. The menu covers vegetarian and vegan options, plus breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. The entrance, seating and toilet are all wheelchair accessible. Hours differ by day, with mornings and afternoons on weekdays and an evening service on most nights, so check before you head in.
