Brisbane’s bakery scene scored an extra dose of Italian flair in May 2024 when Cerin Pasticceria opened in the heart of Woolloongabba. The brainchild of pastry chef Matteo Cerin and front-of-house pro Giuseppe Caputo, Cerin showcases a suite of Italian-style pastries, cakes and focaccia. The duo has converted the old home of The Baker’s Arms into a classic bakery that meshes with the heritage aspects of its Logan Road surroundings. Cerin Pasticceria’s range includes a wide array of serve small treats (pasticcini), individual cakes, large cakes and limited-edition celebratory cakes. The counter is often filled with these drool-worthy treats (plus cream-filled bomboloni) and pastries (including custard-filled cornetti and carbonara danishes), as well as stuffed and pizza-style focaccia available by the slaice. A small deli section houses a range of Italian products sourced from friends or reputable suppliers, while Veneziano Coffee Roasters is supplying the all-important caffeine.
