I used to be a regular for about 3 years before I moved to a far away suburb. Eating here kinda gives that nostalgic feeling about Germany. Almond croissant, Brezel and orange tea cake are definitely a must try. The last time I was there (2 months ago), they had more variety of savoury pastries which tasted good.
My review is only based on a cake I tried from King of cakes called death by chocolate. This was one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. The chocolate melted in my mouth in each bite. It was magnificent.
I walked past its sibling at Nundah couple of weeks ago and it was closed so made it trip to explore this branch in the morning. Arrived when it just started its trading for the day. When I walked in, there was already a gentleman standing in front of the counter and could not decide what to have. In fact, it is not surprised to see such situation happening in this bakery because there are so many bakery items and sweet treats available. Fortunately, I made up my mind very quick to have a triangle and a flat white for dine-in. It did not take a long time to have everything ready on the table. Coffee was made of Di Bella, which was strong enough with above average standard. Pastries of the Triangle was crispy, however, if it has been warmed up enough, marks would be definitely higher in this review.
An institution in Taringa, which I had not visited for years. This bustling bakery is great for coffee, bakery items and sweets. The decor of this place is dated and in need of a refurb, but it really doesn't matter.
King of Cakes is our local and it's awesome - go there. The coffee is always good and we generally just get a croissant but the hot bakery food is great too. You can't really go wrong with anything from their huge range.
Over the years I have enjoyed a number of cakes from King of Cakes for various work celebrations - being so close to UQ, it's a firm favourite. I also love their pretzels, but had never really thought too much about reviewing them.
Well this morning I have to change that because I have just been treated to one of the most delicious cakes I've ever eaten - an Esterhazy. Layers of meringue, nougat, butter cream and sponge - I have never encountered anything quite like it. I shall now dream of this cake - and believe me, I am NOT a cake person at all - but I shall be seeking this baby out again because that was truly life-changing.
Sorry no photos, we gobbled it down way too quickly for that to happen. Seriously get yourself there and get one ... now ... thank me later!
We have been there a few times before and were there yesterday at about 12.45. Food is always good, no question. Service is usually good but not so yesterday. They close at 1.30pm but had already mopped the floor when we arrived. Maybe they were understaffed but I had the impression the staff just wanted to leave at 1.30. Closing at 1.30 doesn't mean staff leaving at 1.30 if that, in turn, means poor customer service. Will give another chance.
Diana. Don't know if they were having an off day but the day I had coffee here it was a bit wishy washy. Passable enough to finish it but nothing great at all. The cakes however are another story, but I was expecting to see a much larger variety on display. Hey I am not complaining they tasted great

Better cake shops in Brissy. Have tried most of the cake and pastry range thanks to lots of office birthdays and morning teas :D Most are yummy. You wont be disappointed.
Great coffee and delicious pastries. I'm adding my vote for great coffee, especially during the week when their main guy barista is in. The pastries are really tasty. I particularly love the cherry plunders; they're a little bit sour which counters the decadent sweetness. My partner looooves the almond croissants and the carrot cake muffins. I also like to get a cinnamon stars - they go great with the coffee. My only complaint with this place is the coffee gets a teensy bit inconsistent on the weekends. Other than that, they have a great selection of sweets, savories and breads. They even a few German sausages/kranskies in the fridge.
Consistently good coffee. Try the sausage rolls too.
Good food. Great bakery food.
Also very good catering service.
Been to KoC plenty of times and the coffee has been consistently very good. Their cakes & breads are also high quality - made on site. I recommend the cherry / apple / apricot Danishes and the goulash pie (real chunky steak pieces). Service is average but coffee & food make up for it :)
Great Coffee. Awesome Coffee! But I must say its at its definatly at its best on the weekend! I get coffee here quite often and its more consistent and tastier on Saturdays and Sundays!
The Sandwichs are to die for! It shows that a lot of effort and love is put into preparing them.
Yum!. Delicious sesame bagels and cherry danishes! Am keen to try the pies, as they look delicious as well.
We ordered my son’s first birthday cake here and it was absolutely delicious. We ordered the large celebration mud cake. The photo we submitted came out beautifully on the cake. All our guests enjoyed the cake and said it reminded them of the nostalgic mud cake from their childhood days. The whole process of ordering online was smooth. I will definitely be coming back to try the other flavours.
We have been celebrating our birthdays with the Death by Chocolate cake for 3 years now and it really is the best I have ever eaten from anywhere.
The store was nice. Clean and tidy and had a good range of food.
The pies are a little pricey for me ($7 odd) but it was tasty.
