Batch Cookie Bar x Lunar Pies

We’re just going to put it out there: empanadas are a seriously underrated snack. Soft, butter pastry wrapped around meaty, flavoursome fillings that you can eat with one hand? How can you go wrong? Ginger Mendoza, founder of Batch Cookie Bar, agrees, which is why she’s opened Brisbane’s first empanada bar.

Open in the Myer Centre in the city, Lunar Pies is all about fresh, hot empanadas—paired up with Batch Cookie Bar's chunky, freshly baked cookies. Featuring six flavours each day, the empanadas will be stuffed with both traditional and creative fillings—think classic beef; buffalo chicken and cheese; cheese, spinach and sundried tomatoes, and even a breakfast option filled with scrambled eggs and chorizo.
