Two Lads

Two Lads in Bardon is a charming little vegan pastry and coffee nook by day and dog-friendly pizza bar by night.

Located just off the major roundabout in Rainworth, Two Lads offers al fresco seating out front and in a side laneway-style courtyard.

From early morning to midday, you can pop in for a well-brewed Single O coffee and a delicious vegan pastry. Choose from sweet treats, such as jam or nutella-filled donuts, cinnamon rings, sour cherry danish and chocolate or almond croissants. For something savoury, there's a small range of quiches - tomato, basil & goat's cheese, rosemary & caramelised onion, or spinach & feta.

From 5pm, Two Lads turns into a convivial neighbourhood pizzeria, serving wood-fired gourmet pizzas with a range of creative toppings, available for dine-in or take away and in-house diners can BYO beer or wine.

The pizza menu includes a mix of Italian-style toppings: Gambero (sugo, garlic prawns, mozzarella, bocconcini & chilli), Tartufo (bianco, mushrooms, mozzarella & truffle oil) and Margherita (sugo, basil & mozzarella). 

There's also a small selection of old-school Oz toppings like Hawaiian, Meat Lovers, Supreme and BBQ Chicken, along with more creative toppings like Peking Duck (Peking duck, shallots, mozzarella & hoisin drizzle) and The Original Vegan (sugo, sumac roasted pumpkin and chickpea, baby spinach, vegan cheese and harissa tahini dressing).

Meanwhile, for dessert you'll find a range of Maleny gelato as well as a cookiedough pizza.
