It has plenty of choice. Grabbed a takeaway pastry and it was still warm. Prices felt reasonable for the area.

Simply perfect. As a Kiwi living in Canada on a business trip to Brisbane it hit the spot for the perfect bakery food I have been craving for years. It’s tucked away in a corner underground in the post office square centre. Seek it out. It’s wonderful.

By far the BEST spinach & feta roll in greater Brisbane/Gold Coast. For the last 8 years I’ve been commuting as far up as North Lakes and as far down as Burleigh Heads and (arguably) the most essential part of my morning routine is finding a place to pick up a spinach & feta roll. I’ll spare you the full description of these absolutely phenomenal rolls but it’s important to note that what really sets them ahead of the rest is not only how the team finds the perfect balance of soft and crunchy but how they make them with all real ingredients. Never before have I had a spinach & feta roll that wasn’t either blended up spinach soup or dry and burned inside. On the days I don’t want to fall out of bed at 4am and head into the city, it’s the prospect of grabbing one of these rolls that keeps me going. Thank you Lena & team for your baking skills and your incredible service.

A delightful change for lunch. Visited Lena's on the 20th July served by an extremely friendly woman. Wanted something savory for lunch instead of my normal takeaway. The homemade sausage roll was just what the doctor ordered. 10/10😋😋 …

Placed an order for next day collection over the phone which was very easy. The lady was super friendly and patient with all the questions I had. Lovely customer service in store as well. Orderer normal sausage rolls plus spinach and feta ones which everyone loved. Didn't get to try anything else but will definitely come back again 😊 …

Location: Lena’s Bakehouse Access: ~5 minute walk through ANZAC Square from Central Station Pie Tested: Chunky Steak, Jalapeño & Chorizo 🥐 Pastry – 8.5/10 The lid was properly flaky with clean lamination and good lift — no soggy collapse, even after a 10-minute walk. Base pastry held firm without being over-thick or gluey, providing solid structural integrity right through to the final bite. Excellent pastry-to-filling ratio, with neither component dominating or letting the other down. 🥩 Filling – 9.5/10 This is where the pie really flexes. The gravy was thick and cohesive, clinging well to the protein rather than pooling or leaking. Chorizo spice led the flavour profile, bringing smokiness and depth, with jalapeño delivering a confident but controlled heat — present throughout without overwhelming the palate. Steak was cut chunky as advertised, tender, and well integrated. Bonus points for the evenly distributed, clearly identifiable rounds of chorizo sausage. 🌡️ Temperature & Eatability After a 10-minute walk back to work, the internal temperature was ideal for immediate consumption. Eaten fresh from the warmer, tongue damage would be a real risk 😂 — always a good sign. Heat retention was excellent, suggesting a well-balanced filling density and pastry seal. 💰 Price – 7/10 Not the cheapest option on offer, but reflective of ingredient quality and execution. You’re paying for flavour complexity and proper technique rather than just calories per dollar. 🏁 Final Verdict – 8.5/10 A technically sound pie with standout filling, strong flavour architecture, and well-executed pastry. Lena’s Bakehouse clearly understands both structure and seasoning. This is a pie built by people who respect the craft. Would smash again. Highly recommended.
