Superthing

Superthing is a West End cafe built around croissants, with a menu that gives the house bake plenty of room to shine. The venue says its dough is made with a sourdough culture and the best butter, with careful attention to temperature and consistency. Croissants are the main attraction, available in styles including pain au chocolat and almond, alongside a daily selection featuring fruit and citrus flavours. It is also possible to order a house sourdough croissant with simple fillings such as cream cheese, tomato, avocado or Nutella.

The cafe’s brunch menu goes well beyond pastries. Croissant eggs Benedict comes with poached eggs, seasonal greens and fermented chilli hollandaise, with bacon, halloumi or smoked salmon options. Other substantial choices include the big breakfast, eggs on toast, avocado toast with lemon myrtle dukkha, an acai bowl, burgers and a broad range of bagels. The NYC salmon bagel combines smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, tomato and pickled red onion, while the halloumi burger and vegan veef burger provide vegetarian and vegan options.

Superthing’s “dreamy rainbow room” is the setting for its baking, giving the West End cafe a distinctive, colourful identity. The menu also makes it practical for different kinds of visits: there are smaller bites, kids’ eggs on toast, a cheese toastie and toasted banana bread, as well as more filling brunch plates and burgers. That range suits a quick solo coffee and pastry, a relaxed catch-up or a family breakfast without relying on one narrow style of dining.

For a first visit, the croissants are the natural starting point, particularly if you want to try one of the daily flavours. Those after a full meal can choose from the brunch classics, bagels or burgers, while plant-based and vegetarian diners have clearly marked options. Located in West End, Brisbane, Superthing is a cafe for pastry-focused mornings as well as casual all-day brunch, with its baking and colourful room forming the strongest parts of the experience.
