About On a Roll Bakery

On A Roll Bakery sits inside the UQ Union Complex, so for anyone around the University of Queensland in St Lucia it's a convenient spot to grab bakery food. It's a campus spot for coffee and breakfast, and the counter covers gourmet pies, pastries, toasties, fresh wraps, sweet treats and desserts.

Takeaway is the main way people use it, though you can also grab a seat at the nearby tables. Wraps are on the menu, and one local called the chicken flat wrap a standout and liked that food comes out on a plate rather than in a paper bag. Coffee is a draw too. Matcha and iced lattes are available, and one person called the coffee the best on campus, with a cheaper afternoon coffee deal also mentioned. A barista with curly hair gets a shout-out for friendly service, and the team is said to cope well when the queue builds.

Some people are happy with the food, the speed and the value, while others have been let down by a pie, a croissant or a drink not made to order, and vegan options come in for some grumbling. It's a busy campus bakery, so results seem to vary with the rush.

Access is easy, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, free street parking nearby, and cards and mobile payments accepted. It's a weekday operation, so check the hours before you head over.
