Le Bon Choix

Le Bon Choix brings a French boulangerie-patisserie tradition to Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, with bread, pastries, cakes, savoury items, sandwiches and in-store beverages. The range covers quick café stops as well as planned orders, with individual and larger cakes, macarons, pies, quiches and catering options available through its stores and online shop. The bakery says its products are baked fresh daily, making it a practical choice for a morning pastry, a takeaway lunch or something to share.

There is plenty to browse beyond the sweet cabinet. The listed range includes the Ham & Cheese Croissant, Almond Croissant, Danish Sour Cherry, Hazelnut Éclair and Azizi Pistachio, alongside sandwiches such as Prosciutto & Camembert on Ciabatta and Croque Monsieur. Bread offerings include Rye Loaf and Sourdough Olive Loaf, while the savoury selection includes Quiche - Caramelised Onion & Sweet Potato. In-store, the bakery also promotes sweet potato and capsicum soup served with sourdough and ciabatta rolls, as well as a matcha collection available hot, iced or with a strawberry twist.

For larger gatherings, Le Bon Choix offers sandwich platters, pastry selections, sweet treats and artisan breads, with customisable pastry and sandwich boxes listed for catering. That makes it suited to office meetings and group occasions, while the café format also caters to a quick coffee or a small treat. Its picnic offering is aimed at takeaway outings, with pastries, sandwiches and sweets packed for the outdoors. The website describes the café team as bringing warm smiles to the pace of a busy day, giving some sense of a lively, welcoming setting without overstating the individual Kangaroo Point space.

Le Bon Choix has operated since 2004, when founder and owner Savico Basset-Rouge opened the first boulangerie-patisserie in Albany Creek after relocating from Melbourne to Brisbane. Savico trained under pastry chef Laurent Boillon, and the business has since expanded across South East Queensland, with locations in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Online orders are prepared for in-store collection rather than delivery, with advance notice required for many cakes, breads, pastries and catering orders. For a same-day visit, the bakery advises calling a store to check what is available.
