About King of Cakes
King of Cakes is a bakery in Taringa, Brisbane, and it covers more ground than the name suggests. Alongside custom cakes you'll find breads, pastries, pies, sausage rolls and catering platters, with a European, traditional-technique leaning. There's a coffee on offer too, plus breakfast, and you can eat in, take away, collect in store or have an order delivered.
For Brisbane bakery fans looking for something specific, the options are worth knowing about. Gluten-free and vegan choices are available, which isn't a given at a traditional bakery. Custom cake orders are a big part of the trade, and locals describe the staff as friendly and the value as good. One local picked up a Mother's Day cake and came away delighted, mentioning the white chocolate plaque and the smell of baking the moment they walked in.
What do people come back for? One customer has ordered a danish, another picked up pretzels, and a beef goulash pie and the Nutella doughnut appear among the baked goods, while the caraway sourdough has its fans. The hot savoury items also get a nod.
A few locals have grumbled about bread that wasn't as fresh as hoped, and the odd cake order has not matched what was briefed. If you're ordering something special, give them plenty of notice and be clear about the details you want, ideally with a photo. Some also feel prices run on the high side for what you get.
It's also a good choice for accessibility, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. It identifies as women-owned and LGBTQ+ friendly, and takes cards and tap-and-go payments.
They open early on weekdays and keep shorter hours at the weekend, so check the hours before you head in, especially if you're after a particular loaf.
