When it comes to pastry-based comfort food, there really is nothing else that can compete with the old-school sausage roll.

From a humble servo sauso roll on a roadtrip to some seriously jazzed up versions made with imported butter and top-quality meat, we asked our readers where to find the best sausage rolls in Brisbane, and here’s what they delivered.

Darvella Patisserie

Bulimba

Inspired by the traditional patisseries of Europe, it’s no surprise that Urban List readers said that Darvella Patisserie’s sausage rolls were one of their faves thanks to the golden, buttery pastry.  Take your pick from classic pork and fennel, beef and bacon, or vegetarian rolls, and prepare for those flakes to fall on every possible you’re near.

Extraction Artisan Coffee

Slacks Creek

One good thing to come out of lockdown was Extraction’s must-try sausage rolls. This place makes almost everything on their menu from scratch including pastry and sauces, and you can taste that care and effort in every bite of their classic sausage roll. As one reader told us, they “taste like Nonna made them,” which is basically the highest testimonial possible.

Bella and Tortie

Grange

Basically everything Bella & Tortie makes is pure pastry gold, and their insane sausage rolls are no exception. The filling is a masterful mix of pork, sage, thyme and toasted fennel with sautéed onion, garlic and apple and comes served with a slightly spicy house-made relish, so it’s no wonder these sell out most days.

Flour & Chocolate

Morningside, Northgate and Redcliffe

While they’re probably known more for their incredible sweets, Flour & Chocolate’s sausage rolls received loads of nominations for Brisbane’s best. Swathed in their buttery puff pastry, your options include beef and bacon or pork and fennel sausage rolls, and you can even order mini and frozen ones to finish prepping at home (because what could be better than an oven-fresh sausage roll?). 

Ruby’s Rolls

Various Markets

If you peep the Ruby’s stall at your local market, do not walk on by! Filled with premium beef and jammy onions and with crunchy caramelised bottoms, these sausage rolls are, without, question, some of the best in Brisbane. Make sure you’re ready for the owner’s psychoanalysis of your saucing method, too… 

Banneton Bakery

Wooloongabba, Ashgrove And Camp Hill

Banneton’s locations are absolute staples for locals who are lucky enough to live nearby, and, with their all-natural, slow-rise philosophy, it’s no surprise why. Their traditional pork and fennel sausage rolls frequently sell out, so our readers suggest you get in early.

Meat At Billy’s

Ashgrove, Rosalie And Windsor

One of Brisbane’s best butchers supplying some of the top restaurants in town, the strudels formerly know as sausage rolls from Meat at Billy’s received plenty of nods from our readers. Head into their store to pick up a few to keep in the freezer, or order online

Brewbakers

Albion

Using flour sourced locally from Queensland and age-old bakery practices, Brewbakers combines great produce with artisanal skill and hard work for some impressively delicious products. Pay them a visit for their simple and delicious beef sausage rolls, and maybe pick up a loaf of their traditional sourdough while you’re at it.

Cake & Bake

Newstead

Operated by notorious Brisbane pastry queen Jocelyn Hancock, you just know the sausage rolls at Cake & Bake will be formidable. Choose between a pork and thyme sausage roll, or go vegetarian with the ricotta, spinach and pumpkin creation.
