It’s a wonderful time of the year for sweet tooths with Easter right around the corner. Everything from traditional hot cross buns to Easter-inspired drinks are on offer at these Brisbane spots. Here’s what caught our eye.

Fonzie Abbott

What’s better than an iced latte? One topped with mini chocolate eggs, of course.

The Albion, Newstead and Lutwyche establishment is serving this Easter special complete with a vanilla cold foam – a riff on the orange-infused milk-cream foam of a Mont Blanc coffee, which originated in Melbourne in 2022 (the trend has well and truly arrived in Brisbane, as you’ll see below). It’s also added a hot cross bun cold brew for the holiday season, which includes a hot cross bun for dipping.

Fair warning: these are peak indulgence, but go ahead if you’re an avid sugar-seeker. For the full experience, pair with a Kinder Bueno iced chocolate or cookie butter latte.

These buns don’t skimp on the fruit, or the chocolate. Danny’s also sells to Harris Farm’s West End and Clayfield locations.

The cookies, along with packs of shortbread bunnies and rocky road, are perfect for gifting and guests, but grab a traditional or chocolate hot cross bun for a solo treat afterwards.
