Miettes Bakery

Miettes Bakery in Corinda is a French-style boulangerie and patisserie, and the seriously good breads and pastries line on its sign is a fair summary of what people here talk about. It's a second shop for a bakery that began a couple of suburbs away in Graceville, and it sits a short walk from Corinda Station, with a free car park if you're driving.

The counter has a good range. There's sourdough and a bread range for anyone wanting more than sliced white (locals mention the olive sourdough and a corn loaf with a sweet touch and a good crust), plus croissants, quiches, sausage rolls, cinnamon buns and filled doughnuts. The lamb and rosemary pie impressed one visitor, who praised the firm base, flaky top and tender filling. Custom cake orders are also on offer, and everything is baked fresh daily.

You can eat in or take away. There's a sunny terrace for a morning coffee, and the coffee gets praise of its own, along with breakfast and brunch options. Entry and the car park are wheelchair accessible, and cards and tap payments are taken.

On value, we hear prices sit a touch above the cheapest options, but most feel the quality, variety and individuality justify it. One visitor found a cinnamon doughnut a bit sugar-heavy, though the selection and freshness are worth noting, and one person plans to come back and try more.

Helpful staff come up again and again. One customer working on their study was surprised with a free cookie from the team, which made their day. Miettes also supplies wholesale products to other businesses, so you may have eaten their bread elsewhere without knowing. Opening hours run early through the week and a little shorter on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
