For years, Agnes Bakery from the Anyday Group was a pinnacle of Brisbane’s bakery scene. In early 2025, the group announced plans to close Agnes Bakery and relocate it to neighbouring New Farm, reimagined as a bakery-cafe called Idle.

With seats for 36 guests, it’ll serve all the baked goods and breads that customers loved from Agnes Bakery, as well as a short all-day menu.

Breakfast dishes include a European breakfast plate with a crusty baguette, a soft-boiled egg, asiago cheese and prosciutto; sourdough crumpets with crème fraiche and berry compote; and Baghdad eggs with smoked almond crumb and tangy labneh. For lunch, there are salads and chicken from a coal-fired rotisserie.

There will also be a market section selling provisions for entertaining and home cooking. Dips and garnishes – including blueberry jam and gentleman’s relish, all made by the Anyday team – will be available to purchase. There will also be sardines, honey, wine and spirits.
