What’s happening?
The Baker’s Duck, one of Toowoomba’s most popular artisan bakeries, has officially extended its trading hours to 4 PM, seven days a week. To celebrate, the bakery is running a limited-time giveaway, offering free pastries to ten lucky Instagram followers who tag a friend in their latest post.
Why it matters?
The new hours cater to Toowoomba locals who crave an afternoon pick-me-up or a late catch-up over coffee and pastries. It’s a thoughtful change that reflects the evolving habits of the community and adds more flexibility for customers.
“We know our customers love their morning coffee and croissants, but there’s something special about a quiet moment in the afternoon too. Now, they have more time to enjoy that,” said a spokesperson for The Baker’s Duck.
Local Impact
From relaxed chats before school pick-up to extra opportunities for local catch-ups, the extension helps locals make the most of their afternoons. The giveaway also encourages community engagement online, further embedding the bakery as a beloved staple in Toowoomba life.
