I work in Banyo, and although it is not one of the prettiest suburbs in Brisbane it has some little hidden treasures. One of these is Haleys Bakery on St Vincents Road. Full of tasty cakes, delicious slices and freshly baked breads I find myself here at least twice a week for lunch, or to pick up takeaways for the weekend(I do believe that the amount of goodies I buy from here may be the reason I am carrying a spare tyre!). The cherry coconut slice is absolutely divine and the vanilla slice, to die for! If you have an upcoming catch up with friends or morning tea with family definitely consider checking out Haleys — you will be the flavour of the party, I don’t know how many friends I have impressed with their yummy cakes and bakes. My kids also love this bakery(yes sometimes I go on the weekends too!). They have the cutest little cupcakes, sure to put a smile on any little persons face!
