Sunny Bakes

Sunny Bakes brings a distinctly Brazilian take to the Eumundi, Sunshine Coast food scene, specialising in pão de queijo — chewy Brazilian cheese bread made with tapioca flour and cheese. Naturally gluten-free and baked fresh on-site, it has a golden outside and soft interior, offering something a little different from the usual market bakery fare. The stall focuses on a traditional Brazilian food with a strong connection to home cooking, family and shared moments.

The business began at the Eumundi Markets and operates from a small yellow trailer in the Gourmet Food Loop Area. It is there every Saturday from 7:30am to 2pm, making it a practical stop while exploring the market’s local produce and artisan stalls. The setting is casual and market-based rather than a formal café, with the baking happening on-site and the food designed to be enjoyed as you browse or as part of a relaxed weekend outing.

The original cheese bread is the centrepiece, but Sunny Bakes also gives the traditional recipe a creative turn. Flavour-infused versions include roast garlic, mixed herbs and olives, while market fillings add another layer of choice. There is a creamy cheese filling inspired by Brazilian Catupiry, combined with different flavours, as well as a Nutella-filled version for a sweet option. These variations keep the focus on the chewy tapioca-and-cheese base while introducing savoury and sweet twists.

Sunny Bakes places emphasis on simple ingredients and traditional character, using organic tapioca, real cheese and locally sourced ingredients. The website also states that the products are non-GMO and made without preservatives or artificial ingredients. It is a good fit for anyone curious about Brazilian food, people looking for gluten-free baked goods, and market visitors wanting a quick snack with a clear cultural story behind it. The relaxed trailer format also suits solo market trips, couples and families who want to sample something fresh and easy to take around Eumundi Markets.
