The best bakeries in Perth

When you step into North Street Store, you only need to remember two words: cinnamon scrolls – or "cinnies". They’re warm and flaky with just the right amount of icing, allowing you to indulge in one or two for brekkie. If you’re more of a savoury slinger, you can also fill up on French-style filled baguettes, stone-baked pizzas and freshly baked sourdough. The bakery’s 1950s-inspired fit-out is charming, but keep in mind, it’s takeaway only. Luckily, you’re just a short stroll from Cottesloe Beach, where you can enjoy your buttery goodness with a view.

Must-try: Cinnamon scroll, pork and fennel sausage roll

Address: 16 North St, Cottesloe

Mary Street Bakery has become something of an institution in Perth, with five bustling locations (Highgate, City Beach, West Leederville, QV1 and Allendale Square) that attract a throng of bread lovers every morning. Their brioche donuts have risen to cult-like status, available stuffed with passionfruit curd, salted caramel and jam, or rolled in cinnamon sugar and 100s & 1000s. Grab one of each to share, and continue loading your pastry box with classic croissants, pork sausage rolls, vegetarian pies and fudgy chocolate brownies. Mary Street also serves an all-day breakfast menu, where you can sample their cultured sourdough topped with runny eggs, a generous slab of avo and chilli jam.

It’s all about the dough at Common Bakery. This Fremantle favourite by Bread in Common is famous for its daily baked wood-fired bread, which you can pick up at their two other locations in Nedlands and Broadway. Common Bakery’s long-fermented multigrain sourdough and traditional olive ciabatta fly off the shelves, along with their spiced fruit loaf and dense rye loaf. While you’re there, you might as well pick up a lemon cruffin, cinnamon scroll or Vegemite croissant. Make sure to pre-order on their website so you don’t miss out.

Having lived and worked in Copenhagen, the self-proclaimed bread dorks at Miller + Baker specialise in dark-crust sourdough, heavy rye and morning buns. They make all their doughs from fresh flour, ethically sourced from regenerative local farmers and stone-milled on-site. You can pre-order and pick up a staple loaf any day of the week from their main bakery in Perth CBD or their home base café in Subiaco. Watch their Instagram for monthly specials, with past hits including a sesame caramel scroll, a yuzu and vanilla mascarpone cruffin and a vanilla blueberry morning bun. If you’re eager to try baking at home, swing by Miller + Bakery’s Lake Street bakery, where they’ll happily share a piece of their treasured 'mother' sourdough starter.

Start your day the Parisian way with a flaky, buttery croissant from Harvest Boulangerie in Scarborough and Mosman Park. These guys have mastered the French classics, offering a tempting line-up of pain au chocolat, éclairs, apple turnovers, madeleines, crème brûlée danishes and their signature mille-feuille (similar to a vanilla slice). Prefer something savoury? Harvest bakes up Aussie riffs on French favourites, including a sausage hot dog croissant and a bacon and goat's cheese focaccia roll. Alternatively, grab a sea salt baguette and take a five-minute stroll to Scarborough Beach for a seaside picnic.

Pick up something sweet to share too, including chocolate croissants, Swedish buns, orange Jaffa cakes and chewy coconut rochers.

Once you wind your way through the crowds outside La Patisserie in South Perth on a weekend, you'll be in for a treat. Their dessert case is a feast for the eyes, with croissants piled high, and fruit tarts and éclairs so glossy and tempting. Grab a coffee and sit down on their outdoor seating in the sun, or wander down to the riverside that overlooks the beautiful city. You can’t go to La Patisserie without grabbing a little something for later. Their loaves and baguettes are crisp on the outside and pillowy-soft inside.

Located in a former ice cream factory, Big Loaf in O’Connor is a new venture from North Street Store legends, Lachlan Bisset and Craig Stewart. The vibe is rustic charm – think outdoor seating, a small play area for kids and the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread. Locals flock here for their famous hot cinnamon buns, croissants, continental rolls and award-winning Gateway loaf. Everything from pies and pastries to sandwiches and coffee is made fresh on-site. It’s part-bakery, part-deli, with family-sized takeaway pies for dinner and shelves stocked with essentials like flour, milk and dips.

You’d never think it, but tucked away on a residential street in Bassendean is Last Crumb Cake Co, a much-loved hidden gem. Founded in 2020 by husband-and-wife duo Grant and Lyndsay, this walk-in bakery is famed for its indulgent layer cakes – so if you’ve got a celebration coming up, you know where to go. Order the black forest, raspberry white chocolate or Biscoff s’mores cakes – all as beautiful as they are delicious. Locals rave about the Reuben sandwiches and their beef pie with a perfect crust. Got a sweet tooth? The cinnamon rolls are a must. The queues can be long, but service is always friendly and the baked goods are absolutely worth the wait.
