May 8 Queen Amann Bakery: King Street Welcomes Flaky, Buttery Indulgence

Bowen Hills is about to get a whole lot tastier! Get ready, King Street, because Queen Amann Bakery is opening its doors soon, bringing a delicious new chapter to a familiar spot with its star attraction: the magnificent Kouign Amann. A Breton pastry that's essentially buttery, laminated dough caramelized to crispy, flaky, sweet perfection. Think croissant meets caramel, and prepare to be hooked!”

But Queen Amann is more than just a name – it's a promise of quality, passion, and a little bit of delicious indulgence. This isn't your average bakery; it's a destination for those who appreciate the art of baking, from perfectly flaky pastries to rustic sourdough sandwiches. Expect freshly baked goods daily, handcrafted focaccia, vibrant freshly squeezed juices, and expertly brewed specialty coffee to complement the star of the show: the Kouign Amann. As the team playfully puts it, this Breton specialty is "flaky, buttery, and a little full of itself" – and we're here for it!

Behind the Deliciousness: A Team with a Passion
Queen Amann Bakery is the brainchild of a team with a wealth of experience and a shared love for hospitality and quality baked goods.
