Services
Sourdough Breads
Our sourdough breads are crafted using natural fermentation with three distinct starters: wheat, rye, and spelt. We avoid commercial yeast, focusing on long fermentation processes to develop complex flavours and textures. Each loaf combines traditional techniques with biodynamic flours for wholesome, additive-free results.
Pastries
Daily-made pastries feature pure butter and French-inspired methods to achieve light, flaky textures. From classic croissants to seasonal specialties, our range balances tradition with innovation. Every item uses high-quality ingredients without margarine or artificial additives.
Savouries
Our savoury range includes house-made pies, quiches, and sandwiches using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Recipes emphasize bold flavours and quality components, from slow-cooked beef in Guinness to vegetarian options with seasonal produce. All items are prepared daily on-site.
Patisserie
The patisserie selection features classic French-inspired desserts with modern twists. Items like tarte au citron and chocolate raspberry ganache showcase precise techniques and premium ingredients. Seasonal variations and gluten-free options ensure diverse customer appeal.
Coffee
Our coffee program focuses on expertly prepared espresso-based drinks using a curated blend. Young baristas receive specialised training to maintain consistency and quality. The offering complements our baked goods while enhancing the overall customer experience.

The coffee is always well made, has a particularly strong chocolate aftertaste that is perfect for a bakery and goes well with the breads and croissants. Unfortunately it seems that it is under new ownership and the staff are particularly unwelcoming and rude, to the point I have stopped going there unless there are no other options available or I really feel like having that chocolate aftertaste and then I dont eat in any more, I just accept Ill get a rude and abrupt serve and leave. Good quality has also gone down and each time I was eating there (always the same thing) it was a lottery

Nice enough bread, unfortunately the staff need a personality transplant, and in my experience are the rudest staff that I have had the misfortune of turning my nose up to in Brisbane. I thought it might have just been a bad day, however, it seems to be consistent from the owner to the shop assistants.

Love Banneton, one of the best bakeries around. But I've noticed the bread quality being inconsistent recently. Sourdoughs have sometimes been a bit too chewy. The coffee and staff have been 10/10 recently though.

Great sourdough and reasonable coffee, but it always takes far too long to get in and out. It looks as though they have enough staff on (though another barista wouldnt go astray) yet its always a 15 - 20 minute wait (minimum) to get coffee and a loaf. I dont know why they cant be more efficient.

Wow! This has to be one of my new favourite spots for coffee and fresh pastries! Visited here early on a Sunday morning, and although was a line up to order, the service was super fast! We ordered two coffees and two pastries- a cinnamon scroll and a cherry danish. It was obvious these were baked fresh, as they were so soft and delicious. Although I do wish the scroll was warmed up, it was my fault for not asking! The coffees were equally as good, they came out so fast yet were smooth tasting.
Theres very limited seating here, so you may be waiting a little bit if you come on the weekend.

Everything that we have bought from Banneton over the years have been exceptional. The sourdough loaves are the best. They are great to be eaten with literally anything, sweet or savoury. The brandied fruit loaf is great, and so is the olive and rosemary loaf. I also love the pretzels, bagels, the almond croissants and the almond pretzels. One will not be disappointed by anything they choose to get from Banneton.

Banneton Sourdough is very good and it toasts up very well.
Update:
Got a beef and Guinness pie and it had way too much little potato cubes in it and fell apart halfway into eating. It was ok but not $8 great.
