French Twist - Fortitude Valley

Pancakes in a jar! Are you serious?! This is a place that I can't get overI've been here time and time again and I am never disappointed.

For those that love brunch, this is definitely one place to check outThe iced teas and juices are beautifully presented.

If you have friends who are gluten free- take them here. They do cakes to order in any size. Gorgeous displays of cakes, pies, bread, slices. The pastries are displayed in an old fashioned travel case. The cabinets are glass and dark wood. I had a coconut slice and chocolate brownie made on almond meal... both delicious. Very well priced compared to nearby cake outlets. I'll be back to try more.

It's my second time stocking up on eclairs from French Twist. I was served by a lovely friendly girl who packaged my wares so they would withstand my flight to Sydney. I love their vanilla eclairs & their salted caramel eclairs. Good light & not too dry or bready texture to their choux pastry & the icing & custard filling has a delicious flavour. The ratio of choux to filling to icing is perfect. I have tasted their carrot cake but wasn't a fan of the whipped butter in their icing. I prefer a greater proportion of cream cheese to butter ratio in the frosting. However their eclairs are worth returning for again & again.

I love their bread. I tried different types of bread from quite a number of bakeries in Brisbane but none of them come even close to French Twist. The taste and quality of their bread is simply outstanding. My favourite “miche sourdough bread with seeds” but all others are pretty good as well. There were a few shops all over the city, but sadly there are only 2 left now, so I have to make a special trip each week. Cakes and cookies are ok, but it is their bread that I highly recommend.
