I find the Crusty Devil to be overpriced for very basic bakery items. I am not sure how they have gone about developing their products, but compared to other local bakeries (Flour Monkey, Uncle Bob's) they just don't come up to scratch when they are asking similar prices.

The coffee they offer is very ordinary too, even though it is "Merlo".

The staff are friendly and are a credit to the business!

When you consider that our world is full of sweet confectionery, Monty's Chocolates is a stand out, where the products are the highest quality you can get anywhere, imported in temperature controlled containers (just check to see if DJ's does this!) and provided to you with the ultimate in passion and expertise.

Go to Monty's if you want to spoil yourself, but if you are just craving sweet confectionery like dairy milk, then only go if you are open minded about changing your sweet ways into quality ways!
Great coffee, awesome tea, try a milkshake, best service anywhere!

Approximate cost: $7.50 - $70

The absolutely best place in Brisbane for authentic French pastries. I really have tried just about everywhere, as my wife and I will drive all day for good quality products, and this rates top of our list.

My French friends from Sydney demand a visit every time they come to Brisbane.

Breads are fabulous (though not my best in Brisbane) and coffee is always great.

Do yourself a favour and have a slow coffee and a pastry to unwind!
