Traditionally eaten throughout the Commonwealth and parts of America, hot cross buns have been a Good Friday staple for centuries.

Although Aussies can enjoy them as early as New Years Day, Brisbane's best are baked in the lead-up to Easter, with varieties to suit every palate, from the traditional fruity, spicy bun to fruitless, chocolate and coffee flavoured.

To find your favourite fruit-filled, classic hot cross bun in Brisbane, begin with these best 5.
