Overview
They're crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and come in more colours than you can think of. They're a hit at markets around the city, spreading sugary joy in varieties as delicious and diverse as espresso, rosewater and pistachio, honeycomb and bubblegum.
Yes, we're talking about Lucid Sweets' luscious meringue kisses, aka those bright egg white creations Brisbanites can't seem to gobble up fast enough. And now, in the news we've all been waiting for, they're going to be available more readily, more often.
Prepare to spend more time in Geebung from March, because that's where and when Lucid will be setting up their permanent store. The store will see them serving up their beloved fluffy treats over the counter as well as their existing market appearances and online orders. There must be something about the northside suburb, with Nutri Hitt also settling into the area in recent months (although their desserts are on the healthier side of things).
Lucid isn't just about meringues of the rainbow-hued and bite-sized kind though — so if your sweet tooth hankers for something else, you won't be disappointed. As anyone who has spent far too long drooling over their Instagram feed will know, the artisan baking wizards are also renowned for their Mexican chilli chocolate, Cookie Monster, Cherry Ripe and Bubble O' Bill mini pavlovas, plus the occasional cake and biscuit.
Find Lucid Sweets in Geebung from March, and keep an eye on their website and Facebook page for the final address and opening details.
