BROT :: Home of Wicked European Bread

Portuguese Custard Tart – for 300 years from 1496, the monks of Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal have kept a secret recipe for a custard pastry delicacy, and then… one of the wicked little monks let the secret out…..

PHEW!!!!

What a year and a bit…..!!! Our pilot store in Edward St was a huge success but as our ‘wicked lovers’ know, an astronomical rent increase forced it’s closure. Luckily for me though I had already been sniffing around for a second property and Ashgrove is the lucky suburb. We have changed our concept slightly to 7 day trading and a larger property with seating, so week-ends I am sure will be very hectic!
Throughout the year I have continued to receive very positive feedback via this site and personally in the store - thank you! I also offer my apologies to those who are frustrated by our City closure but be rest assured, I am sniffing around the CBD to re-open as soon as possible. It will be my pleasure to see all my loyal customers at Ashgrove and welcome new ‘lovers’.

The day begins at brot, those who walk by know the aroma, with hard-to-resist croissants, swiss chocolate filled croissants, and pastries. brot’s WICKED barista often has an early morning queue, waiting customers happy to chat while their fresh grind coffee or loose leaf tea is being tailor-made.

Gourmet rolls and bread loaves are next as brot’s ovens gear up for the morning trade. Those in the know, know, the best pretzel is one straight out of the oven!

…It has always been my job to source the office catering, thank goodness I walked down Adelaide St and smelt those pastries. the office finally said ‘well done’ last Friday when you delivered those pastries, and I’m looking forward to next week ….
