About The Bakeologists

The Bakeologists is an independent, family-owned bakery in New Farm, Brisbane. The tagline is "Brisbane born & bread," and the bread side of things is taken seriously. Loaves are handcrafted nightly, while pastries and savoury items come out fresh each day.

Pies are something locals mention. A pie connoisseur was won over by the beef, bacon and cheese, and another found the garlic and mushroom pie rich, savoury and perfectly baked. The sausage rolls, panini and a hefty New Yorker sandwich get a mention too, and one local reckons the sandwich is plenty for a hungry adult. Sourdough has a following, and the prices are considered good value, even for the more indulgent pies.

On the sweet side, the raspberry lamington gets plenty of love, with fresh cream, as do the carrot cake, apple danish and the pastries generally. We've heard the odd complaint about a brownie and a pastry that didn't hit the mark, and one visitor found the almond croissant a bit light on filling, so it pays to pick from what looks freshest on the day.

The shop itself is small and can get a little noisy when it's busy, but the seating is comfy, the service is efficient, and the staff are friendly and quick with a smile. Coffee gets mixed reactions, from "amazing" to just average, so it's a matter of taste.

You can dine in, take away or have orders delivered, and they also handle custom cakes and catering. The shop is wheelchair accessible and takes card and mobile payments. There's a bus stop right beside it and a bike rack nearby, which makes it an easy stop if you're passing through New Farm. Check the hours before you head in, as weekend opening is a little later than during the week.
