Sunny Bakes
Sunshine Coast
At a glance
Sunny Bakes brings a Brazilian bakery tradition to Eumundi through pão de queijo, a small, chewy cheese bread made with tapioca flour. Naturally gluten-free, the bread has a lightly crisp outside and a soft, stretchy centre, making it a practical snack for market browsing, breakfast or a savoury bite during the day.
Based at 1 Napier Rd, Eumundi, Sunny Bakes has a market-stall character rather than a conventional dine-in restaurant. The stall forms part of the Eumundi market experience, with bread baked on-site and served fresh in a casual, open-air setting. Trading takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays, giving the offering a regular place within the Sunshine Coast food scene.
The baking style is simple and ingredient-led. Tapioca flour and cheese form the foundation of the pão de queijo, with the recipe kept free from gluten, preservatives and artificial ingredients. Organic tapioca and locally sourced ingredients are part of the stall’s approach, while the use of real cheese gives the bread its savoury flavour and characteristic texture.
Alongside the traditional version, Sunny Bakes adds variety through flavoured breads such as roast garlic, mixed herbs and olives. Filled options bring further contrast, with creamy savoury fillings inspired by Brazilian Catupiry-style cheese and a sweet chocolate-hazelnut filling. These additions keep the Brazilian base intact while offering choices for different tastes.
The food is well suited to visitors who enjoy market-made snacks, Brazilian flavours or gluten-free baking. It also works as an easy takeaway option, with individual breads that can be eaten while exploring the surrounding stalls. The compact format makes Sunny Bakes more about freshly baked food and cultural flavour than a long sit-down meal.
Sunny Bakes offers a focused menu built around one recognisable Brazilian speciality. Its appeal comes from the combination of fresh on-site baking, tapioca-based dough, cheese and playful flavour variations. For visitors exploring Eumundi, it provides a straightforward way to try pão de queijo in a relaxed market setting.
