PB & Js
Inside PB & Js
PB & Js in South Townsville is a casual café spot where the focus is on freshly made sweet treats paired with a laid-back vibe that suits locals looking for a quick indulgence or a casual catch-up. Located on McIlwraith Street, the shop has an approachable, neighborhood feel that draws in families, dog owners, and anyone after a handmade bakery fix.
What stands out here is the evolving selection of donuts—highlighted by the Biscoff donut and seasonal flavors like Fairy Bread—that feel both playful and comforting. Watching the donuts being crafted behind the counter adds a bit of anticipation, and the option to combine them with soft serve ice cream makes for a relaxed treat that’s perfect on a warm Townsville day.
The menu balances sweet desserts with a straightforward coffee and specialty iced drinks lineup, featuring options like Matcha White Choc and rich hot chocolates priced around A$4.50–A$7.50. Whether it’s an early morning iced latte or an afternoon iced coffee, the drinks pair well with the hand-crafted sweets. The friendly staff contribute to an easygoing atmosphere that’s welcoming to locals and visitors alike.
PB & Js comes across as more than just a place to grab a donut; it’s a spot locals turn to for a little ritual of comfort, whether it’s families with kids ordering babyccinos or dog owners stopping in with their pups for a donut hole and a pat. The queue can build up, especially on warm evenings when people are grabbing late-night treats, but there’s a sense that the wait is part of the experience for many.
Best times to visit are mid-mornings or afternoons when the vibe is busiest but not overwhelming, allowing you to soak in the casual community buzz and enjoy freshly made sweets with a quality coffee in hand. PB & Js fits neatly into South Townsville’s local scene as a sweet spot that’s equal parts approachable bakery and neighborhood hangout.
