Flour & Chocolate

This cult favourite bakery began with a twist when one-half of the husband and wife duo answered the phone with “I wake up with Today”. Kylie and Lachlan Scott landing this $20,000 windfall allowed them to finally realise their dream of owning their own bakery, and Brisbane has been blessed ever since.

The Scotts are never one to back down from a challenge, and this shines through in their experimental baked creations. They were one of the first to try out the viral cronut sensation, which helped to put Flour & Chocolate on the map.

Visit this Brisbane bakery for sweet treats, savoury snacks, or a tasty lunchtime bagel, you’ll never leave disappointed.
