One of Brisbane’s finest bakeries stepped up its game in 2024 with an ambitious expansion into the inner city. Albion-based French-Italian-inspired bakery Doughcraft opened a brand-new location on Mary Street in February, launching a venue that is part artisanal bakery, part deli, and a go-to destination for aperitivo. An expanded kitchen now allows the Doughcraft team to increase its range of products considerably, adding tasty new items alongside its signature sweet and savoury mainstays like Bombolone Salato doughnuts, raspberry-filled brioche buns and gorgonzola breadsticks. The venue’s post-sunset offering channels European-styles aperitivo hour, with handcrafted cocktails (including rosemary-infused negronis) and a curated list of Australian and Corsican wines available. At night Doughcraft also serves a menu of Italian-inspired eats, from Roman-style pinsa and handmade pasta dishes to tantalising appetisers and decadent desserts.
