Jocelyn's Provisions

Jocelyn’s Provisions is a bakery and provisions shop in Toowong, Brisbane, with a broad range of sweet and savoury baked goods made for everyday eating, celebrations and catering. Its offering includes hot or chilled pies and sausage rolls, sandwiches made with housemade sourdoughs and ficelles, bar cakes, ready-to-go meals and frozen Take & Bake products. The website also lists items such as spiced apple pies, sticky date pudding, banana bread, pear crumble tart and chicken and mushroom mini pies.

Cakes remain central to the business. Jocelyn’s began with cakes and continues to make buttercakes, chocolate roulades, cheesecakes, slices, brownies and cupcakes, with cakes available fresh and decorated in-store for birthdays and other occasions. For smaller treats or something to share, the shops stock packaged housemade provisions including chocolate chip and nut cookies, parmesan rounds, granola, rocky road, nougat, florentines, meringues and biscotti.

The business traces its beginnings to a small shop and adjoining kitchen on James Street in 1996. It has since expanded to stores in James Street, Camp Hill, Albion and Toowong, while continuing to produce its range in-house. The website also notes home and corporate catering, bespoke occasion cakes, a weekly selection of ready-to-go meals and frozen products such as lasagnes, family pies, pithiviers, croissants and party food. Ingredients are described as locally sourced.

For Toowong locals, the venue suits picking up provisions for home, assembling food for a gathering or ordering a celebration cake. It can also work for busy households looking for ready-made meals or Take & Bake options, and for workplaces arranging catering. Ordering is available through the online store, while the website notes that orders close at 1pm each day and cannot be placed in-store. Weekend specials are announced through the business’s social channels.
