The business was founded by Jess and Tyson Phillips in 2019. Jess grew up in her parents’ bakeries in Mackay and Brisbane, and the bakery draws on those family traditions while giving its sweet and savoury baking a contemporary approach. Bangalow Bread Co. is open seven days a week, with weekday and weekend hours listed on its website. It suits a solo coffee-and-bakery stop, a quick lunch, families picking up fresh treats, or groups ordering a cake for a celebration.
