Easter is quite literally just around the corner and, if you’ve yet to sink your teeth into an irresistibly tasty hot cross bun, it’s high time to join the party with the very best hot cross buns Brisbane bakeries have to offer. 

The sweet scent of freshly baked hot cross buns is drifting out of bakeries all over Brisbane, tempting us and making those extra calories seem totally justified. After all, it’s practically a seasonal requirement, right?

By the way, we consider everyone in this list the best of the best! To make finding your next favourite that much easier, we’ve ordered the list alphabetically by suburb and also have filtering tabs for your convenience. Did we miss someone from the list? Let us know here!   Hide the form

Agnes Bakery

It’s no surprise that Agnes Bakery has found itself on this list thanks to their delectable sourdough hot cross buns. Offering sourdough hot cross buns seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, currants, raisins, and dash of their secret spice mix, these buns are baked to perfection in a woodfire oven and served fresh every day. Be sure to pick up some of their house-cultured and churned smoked butter to lather on for an extra touch of flavour. Available in the bakery or pre-orders by the half dozen through their website, get your hands on their buns today.
