La Vosh

I’m here almost everyday! We recently moved to our new office space in Red Hill and this is one of the closest coffee and food places. The bagels (cream cheese please) are delicious every time and Merlo coffee always on POINT!

After I have read so many positive reviews of this patisserie, I decided to go for exploration. It was one Sunday morning in July. When I first stepped in the shop, I found that there were so many bagels and other varieties of pastries. Initially I decided to have a bagel but I changed my mind when I saw the triangle with feta and spinach. Therefore, I ordered the flat white and a triangle. Well, flat white with Merlo was done up with above average standard, which may be due to my bias on Merlo. However, there was definitely no regret on the decision of having triangle. The pastry was crispy I loved the mix of feta with spinach, they were very tasteful. Overall, it was a decent experience. Recommended.

This is my go to place when I'm feeling to lazy to make my own challah. It feels authentic, the way it should be. I also really like the bagels here, they are so moist and delicious that you can just bite into them without any spreads or fillings, that's when you know you've found a good bagel! The staff here have always been a friendly but there's not much of an atmosphere, I wouldn't want to sit inside and eat here. I have arrived only to be told that they aren't doing a certain type of bagel on that day before which can be a little inconvenient after driving 15 minutes to get there. I would recommend the jalapeno bagel, it has a really nice flavour to it and it's good with cream cheese too.

Bagel me up baby!!. By far tha best bagels I have ever had. jalapeno with cream cheese is divine, but my fav would have to be tha blueberry!! tha jam donut is pretty nice and oh myy goshh tha french baguette is beautiful.

La Vosh Patisserie - Red Hill, Brisbane. A small, yet really happening and interesting little patisserie, getting access to here is tricky if not by foot certainly by wheels. After targeting here for breakfast it was off my dining buddy and I went for this place; managing to snag the one car park out the front was a stroke of luck. With several decades worth of experience as a chef, the management team aims to maintain a casual air to this place; it is a trove of surprises awaiting those who enter.

Inside is decidedly small, keeping that deli feel to it. To snag a table, it is a case of "you snooze, you lose"; some customers are standing around to await orders to go and several sit down where there is an available table - some al fresco. My dining buddy and I managed to get one inside before the waitstaff had a chance to clear it - which they did quickly. All that makes the place standout from the outside is the brightly coloured streamers in the doorway; ultimately is more about the food then how the place looks. Inside, on the tables there is butcher's paper acting as a table cloth; so you can bring the little ones and some crayons and then they can pass the time.

A high turnout such as this place requires a really good degree of service. What we are talking about, is efficiency. Well, the turnout has been consistent for quite a while therefore something is definitely being done right. The girls who run the place are pleasant and friendly, knowing well what they are doing. Orders are quickly done, sometimes it is quicker than others. Above all, it does have that vibe that would be welcoming to local regulars

While there is a lot of the expected bakery treats to be found here, the mainstay - and the reason for my dining buddy and I coming here - were the bagels. These were the proper New York-style bagels as well, not the doughnut-shaped bread rolls To the American readers, this may sound weird - bagels never really took up in Australia so much. Here, the bagels are boiled then baked before being served. This is all done on premise. I am not sure how kosher properly works, so enlighten me if it comes close or is kosher. To go the full experience, I went with the traditional filling - smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion, and rocket. Upon the offer for it to be toasted, I said yes. It was delicious: this combination of ingredients are often put together for a reason - they just blend perfectly. The flavours are sharp and bold, with a variety of textures to make a round meal. The bagel they use is robust and tasty, getting crisped up from a good toasting.

As for my dining buddy, he had his eyes set on the Coney Island Chili Dog. This was a boiled frankfurter in a bread roll served with mustard, chopped raw onion and a generous heaping of spicy meat chili. On the side was a serving of corn chips. It is all about the chili on this dog; it was really spicy and had a deep, meaty taste to it. The bread was soft and crusty, plus the other flavours made a great combination. This is a worthwhile snack that satiates and is really tasty.

Any self-respecting place open for breakfast is going to have to offer coffee, and that is what they did. They get their beans from Piazzo Dorro. With the coffee coming in a mug, and with the offered extra shot taken up, I had a big, hot cappuccino. This was delicious, signifying they also took care to have a talented barista afoot working there. The flavour was deep and rich, plus the espresso very strong. The milk was well textured, and the foam was creamy and smooth. Everything about that coffee was well-done and it was an enjoyable drink.

It lasted two courses. Before coming here, I knew two definite items to order while there: the first had already been done - a bagel - and now it was for one of their bakery treats. Freshly made, I got one of their doughnuts. This was baked, and risen with yeast; most of all it was tasty. It was massive, filling and coated with a generous amount of icing sugar. this was certainly a worthy dessert finish to the breakfast. My dining buddy also got a few mini jam doughnuts for his sweets, and they were good as well.

There is a number of factors that have this place be a worthy spot on the map of Brisbane's dining scene: it goes for something less usual and/or unique then goes the extra distance by doing it well, the air of the place is welcoming and friendly - especially if you have some little ones in tow, and has a lot of rave reviews to support it all. In the honest opinion, it was very good and not a disappointment.This is one place that might be seeing a return, if not it certainly will go down as one of the best finds.

Amazing croissants, but oddly enough very average danishes. Great cakes too!

I became addicted to their chocolate croissants and to their almond croissants. Soft, buttery pastry. Both chock full of ingredients and the flavours are superb. They do a very good coffee as well. Lot's of inhouse made offerings and a good selection of pastries, sweets and also savoury items. Their are breakfast meals available and a selection of Vietnamese dishes. Fresh bagels and baguettes round out this awesome little bakery. The staff are friendly, the prices are good and the food is great. Get on it!

I come here for lunch whenever I'm in this part of town. They have a wide range of bagels with quite a few different toppings, including Pastrami! The coffee is really nice too. I grabbed a chocolate croissant this time and it was delightful!

After a morning ride this really topped it off. The bacon and egg bagel and coffee were excellent

As a person growing up in NYNJ, their bagels taste like they are from NYC and they are the only place in Brisbane that I can say this about. Their other stuff is also fantastic, including but not limited to crossaints, apple danishes and coffee.
