The Story Behind Nos. Bakehouse
Nos. Bakehouse is the brainchild of Susan Koh, a former fashion designer from Singapore. Sixteen years ago, Susan and her husband migrated to Brisbane, where she transformed her passion for baking into a professional pursuit.
Before the pandemic, she regularly returned to Singapore to train as a pastry chef, sharpening her skills before working at notable Brisbane establishments like Dello Mano and Florence. Partnering with chef Hank Lyu, Susan turned her dream into a reality, creating a cafe that combines artisanal expertise with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The Ultimate Sando Destination
Nos. Bakehouse is best known for its sandwiches—or “sandos”—which have quickly become the star of the menu. Made with their in-house baked bread, the sandos come in a variety of flavours and fillings that are as inventive as they are delicious.
The menu features five standout sandos: Brulée Egg Mayo, Ham and Cheese Toastie, Tuna Mayonnaise with Caramelized Onions, Ebi Prawn with Mayo, and Chicken Tender with Mayo. Among these, the Brulée Egg Mayo has emerged as a fan favourite, thanks to its rich, creamy filling and unique texture.
In fact, the cafe’s focus on perfecting these sandwiches led them to streamline their offerings.
“Based on valuable feedback from many of you and in order to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy our delicious sandwiches, we’ve decided to streamline our menu and drop the main brunch options,” they shared on Instagram. “This will allow us to dedicate more attention to perfecting and serving our sando, ensuring every bite is as fresh and satisfying as possible.”
Paired with these sandwiches are specialty drinks like a lavender iced matcha or a classic iced latte, ensuring there’s something to suit every palate.
A Space Steeped in Character
Housed in the space formerly occupied by Penny Coffee Co, Nos. Bakehouse retains a cozy, intimate charm. For those who love dining al fresco, the cafe features a small garden with outdoor seating and a mural—a perfect spot to soak up Brisbane’s sunshine. Inside, the ambiance is accentuated by a nostalgic collection of wall art.
