Agnes Bakery

Fortitude Valley

Updated: Jun 16, 2025

AGNES BAKERY HAS CLOSED IN JUNE 2025.

Agnes Bakery, the popular purveyor of artisan baked goods, has found a permanent home in a heritage-listed cottage in Fortitude Valley. 

Located on the corner of James and Harcourt Streets, the European-inspired patisserie is where customers are willing to queue to get their hands on the bakery's famous Basque burnt cheesecake, flaky pastries - sweet and savoury - and wood-fired sourdough. 

Everything is made fresh daily in-house from scratch and then baked over fire in a massive four-tonne oven, including pastries, pizzettes and artisan loaves of bread: smoked potato, malted grain and treacle, or buttermilk fruit loaf. 

Sweet offerings range from choux pastries (milk chocolate and creme fraiche, or ginger and rose water brulee), and doughnuts (​​​​​​cinnamon sugar, strawberry jam, roast quince and honey custard) to burnt Basque cheesecakes and kouign amann - think baked custard and almond, or freeze-dried raspberry and butter cream.

While, savoury lovers can purchase pizzettes topped with the likes of fermented pumpkin, pork, fennel and sage, or smoked potato and rosemary with gorgonzola.
