Backed by one of the owners of Campos Coffee, The Baker’s Arms takes the notion of specialty coffee and extends it to the concept of a specialty bakehouse.
Sporting a vast array of freshly baked goods that vary daily, it certainly fills a certain void in the area. The feature point leather-wrapped espresso machine, tiled counter, coffee bean sack wall and exposed brickwork from the factory that was previously on the site, all add to the curiosity and inviting nature of the bakehouse.
There is no food menu as the dishes change daily and choices are made off what it available in the glass displays cabinets. Options typically include sandwiches, wraps, pies, pasties, sausage rolls and salads. There is also a selection of cakes and pastries for the sweet tooths.
Lunch on this visit was a curried lamb pie, a beef sausage roll and an orange and pear juice. Served with a side of salad in cute metal school camp-style plates, the pastry on the pie and sausage roll instantly highlighted their freshly baked nature. Flakey and crunchy in the outside, slightly soft on the inside, it was perfection. The juice was also freshly squeezed and served in a quaint glass jar.
Tucked away in the Logan Road precinct of Woollongabba, The Baker’s Arms is a must visit for those in search of some fine baking.
