Price Range $1–20

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.

From the home bakery to the real deal! PB&Js is next level amazing. The diverse flavours will ensure there is something for everyone! A little odd but the car air freshener - the best. Like having a sweet treat in the car! We love visiting and supporting small local businesses!

We love PB & J’s! Delicious, handmade treats and friendly staff. It’s my go-to place to take friends and family visiting Townsville! Our golden retriever, Daisy, loves their donuts holes and pats too!

Where to begin, the cookies, the cakes, the brownies, the donuts and the coffee make pb&j's my families favorite sweet treat spot! The variety of changing donut flavours, the size of the donuts and now with the bonus of soft serve on top is just heaven. You know everything is fresh as you can watch the donuts being made while you wait and you must try an NYC cookie warm out of the oven, THE best cookie!

Waited in line for 45 mins for late night PB & Js!! Was it worth it? Hell yeahhhhh! Although the wait was very hot and humid the cookies were gooey and warm! With vanilla soft serve it was delicious!! I also had a biscoff thick shake!! 10/10 only downfall was not enough biscoff chunks in the shake add more!!!!! But love love love their deserts and coffees and the staff are always very welcoming and sweet! Would recommend

Had the pleasure of delivering ingredients to PB&J’s when they were still operating out of their home and was always greeted with the most genuine sincere person ever. PB&J’s donuts and other sweet treats are the best in business. Have had donuts from “best in business” from multiple states but nothing will ever compare to these donuts. The flavour selection each month is to die for and the change in flavours and themes to coincide with month events is incredible. Have introduced new people to the deliciousness of PB&J’s and they’ll never turn back.

I’m a donut lover and can say these are the best, tastiest and freshest donuts! Friendly hard working owner and staff. The service is always friendly and they have a really cute shop. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
