The Best Bakeries in Perth for a Sweet Treat

Sweet dreams are made of these. AKA the best bakeries in Perth are designed to test the resolve of any sweet tooth.

Teeter

The corner bakery takes on sophisticated meaning and bestows instant gratification to Perth punters. Even the lycra-clad can be spied brazenly rolling into some of the best bakeries in Perth for handmade macarons, croissants, handmade cakes and strudels.

We might need to invest in some lycra and wheels ourselves to justify these delicious indulgences. But boy, is it worth it! 

Arthur

Arthur Bakery 

Arthur is a brand new artisan bakery that’s popped up on Brighton Road in Scarborough and is turning out some of the best and most indulgent croissants in town. Yes, they’ve got buttery, flaky plain croissants that are perfection, but it’s the flavoured croissants we’re coming back for. The almond croissants are golden on the outside and filled to the brim with a rich, smooth almond frangipane that’s sweet but not overpowering. The Biscoff and Oreo croissants are every bit as delicious as you’d imagine. Needless to say, they don’t stick around for long so get in quick. 

Shop 115A Brighton Road, Scarborough

Connells Family Bakery

Connells Family Bakery 

IYKYK, and most of the Osborne Park work crowd definitely do. Thanks to a friendly atmosphere and exceptional baked goods, Connells has earned itself a very loyal customer base. The pies and sausage rolls are delicious, there’s a huge range of fresh lunch options, like salads, sandwiches and rolls, and the jam doughnuts are second to none (they’ve also got lemon, salted caramel and Nutella if you’re that way inclined). 

50 Howe Street, Osborne Park 

Gather Bakehouse

Gather Bakehouse

Gather at Gather, a Leederville bakery that has all your sweet tooth cravings sorted. This neighbourhood gem not only offers expertly brewed coffee but also some of the city's best-loaded cookies. The menu also features viral 'crookies' (a delightful croissant-cookie fusion), savoury bagels, decadent slices, strawberry matcha sips, and s'mores-style hot chocolates.

For special occasions, you can even order a lush custom-made cake from the passionate team. It's a baked goods paradise and one of our favourite bakeries in Perth right now. 

201B Oxford Street, Leederville 

Hunter Bakery

Hunter Bakery

This modest bakery has been a welcome addition to Bicton’s gourmet foodie scene, and while the offerings are few (they mainly stick to a signature French farmhouse-style artisanal sourdough and some specialty loaves on weekends), they’re done to perfection.

As well as the sourdough in various shapes and sizes (called ‘longs’, ‘shorts’ and ‘bigs’), there are usually a couple of cakes on offer, chocolate croissants, and Pound batch brew coffee. It may be simple, but that's what makes Hunter Bakery one of the best bakeries in Perth.

Shop 14/258 Canning Highway, Bicton Central

Sugar & Nice

Sugar & Nice 

One visit to this adorable Inglewood bakery, which was inspired by the famous Magnolia Bakery (from Sex and the City) in New York, and you’ll be making excuses to come back for brownies, cruffins, soft serve in the flakiest of croissants, cupcakes, cookies and all the cake. Hefty treats, excellent coffee and a wonderful little space - what more do you need?

Shop 1/882 Beaufort Street, Inglewood 

Everyday Bread

Everyday Bread

Producing some of the most delicious sourdough and baked goods in Perth, this Willagee gem opens from 3.30pm until sold out every day. And boy, do they sell out. A true artisanal bakery, you’ll find only the freshest ingredients and sustainable, stoneground organic flour in Everyday Bread's baked goods. A fresh slice of sourdough, a dab of butter and you’ll be in heaven. 

73 Leach Highway, Willagee

Layers Bakery

Layers Bakery 

A small family-owned French bakery, Subiaco’s Layers has quickly made a name for itself in the world of artisan breads and pastries. With decades of experience in some of France’s best kitchens, it’s no wonder the baked goods at this hidden gem make us salivate. And if you’re a fan of the humble baguette, these guys do one of the best in Perth. 

Shop 10/29 Station Street, Subiaco

Knead Bread and Coffee

Knead Bread and Coffee

This cool, beachfront family-run bakery in Scarborough is a pure delight. The shelves at Knead are stacked with fresh organic sourdough loaves and pastries that have been slowly fermented over a two to three day process, using the highest quality Australian flour. The coffee is delicious and the bagels are some of the best in Perth - fresh, chewy and lathered in cream cheese. 

Unit 1 A/241 West Coast Highway, Scarborough 

Teeter

Teeter 

You’ll want to arrive early to this tiny Perth bakery (before the doors open at 9am) because their incredible, baked-from-scratch goods run out the door! The bakery door is open to the public on Friday and Saturday mornings only, with a delectable range of pastries, cakes, savouries and coffee on offer. You can also pre-order through its online shop.

Teeter uses the best possible Australian ingredients, like chocolate from Hunted and Gathered in Melbourne, sustainable flour from Wholegrain Milling in NSW and seasonal Western Australian fruits and vegetables from local grocers. 

145a Claisebrook Road, Perth 

Goods Bakery

Goods Bakery

Dreamy danish and scrumptious cruller alert! All the flakiest and tastiest pastries you could poke a stick at are on offer at this gorgeous new bakery in West Leederville.

Made from scratch, by hand, and baked first thing in the morning, every morning, Goods Bakery has a winning formula with its croissant dough. It's made from a sourdough starter and laminated with French butter, giving each and every pastry a rich and unique flavour. 

Bringing a whole new meaning to friendly local goods provider, you might stop in for a double baked carrot cake croissant one day, and a fresh plum danish with amaretti crumble the next at this bakery in Perth.

11 Oxford Close, West Leederville 

Butter Crumbs

Butter Crumbs

One of the best Perth bakeries sits pretty in the heart of the city, serving up a humble slice or whole serve of artisanal cakes and pies. Butter Crumbs beloved cheesecake is a hot commodity, there's a baked Basque that's also worth saving room for, but we're completely head over heels for the banoffee pie. Lemon meringue cakes and a fresh strawberry and Chantilly cream clad shortcake are more sweet serves, but if you're a savoury fan, the mini pies and sausage rolls are flaky and comforting in equal measure.

Shop 1/669 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley

Croff Bakehouse

Croff Bakehouse

A best bakeries in Perth list wouldn't be complete without highlighting one Perth's best croissanteries. Croff Bakehouse is a modern contemporary bakehouse in the heart of the CBD, where magical croissant flavours are perfected and served up fresh every morning. Their almond is a bestseller, naturally, but more unique offerings like Oreo croissant swirl, Pandan and the blueberry coulis and cream cheese custard-filled, oft-back by popular demand Purple Raine, are equally as popular. Yum!

131 Barrack Street, Perth

North Street Store

North Street Store

This neighbourhood corner store in Cottesloe ticks all the delicious carb boxes. The 'wild cinni scrolls' are absolutely no joke here. The bakers at North Street Store not only serve up incredible sweet treats, but they also offer a simple breakfast, lunch and dinner menu – think bacon and egg baguettes, porchetta sandwiches, hotcakes, pastas and more. 

16 North Street, Cottesloe

Last Crumb Cake Co.

Last Crumb Cake Co. 

When a queue starts forming at 6.30am, and their sourdoughs have sold out soon after, you know something incredible is baking inside. Unassumingly positioned opposite a primary school in a riverside pocket of Bassendean, the Last Crumb Cake Co. has become somewhat of a mecca for its show-stopping tiered cakes and inspired pastries including the mac and cheese bread bombs and caramel custard popcorn doughnuts.

Check out their healthy options too including poke bowls and delicious salads. Since opening rather defiantly in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, the queues seem to get longer by the day.  

77 West Road, Bassendean 

Chu Bakery

Chu Bakery

Located in Highgate, Chu Bakery is another hot stop you’re going to have to get up early for as their baguettes and pastries sell out in a flash. Don’t panic, you can have a lie-down or a power walk around Hyde Park across the road after you’ve scoffed down a twice-baked croissant filled with pistachio or their monthly specials of choux pastry crafted into delectable pineapple or plum puffs.

498 William Street, Highgate 

Maison Saint-Honore

Maison Saint-Honore

Each week, thousands of macarons emerge in a rainbow of flavours and colours at Maison Saint-Honore. Along with bread, croissants, meringues, macarons, tartines and a range of many other naughty handmade delights, founder Alexandre Lui-van-Sheng draws on his French roots to create these heavenly baked treats.

Maison Saint-Honore is one of the few places in Perth to make the petite rum and vanilla flavoured French pastry called caneles, which have a custard-like texture encased in a dense caramelised crust designed to change your life.

The Woodfired Baker

The Woodfired Baker

Since 1988, The Woodfired Baker has lovingly supplemented their yeast ‘starter,’ which gives sourdough its distinctive flavour. At 8pm every night, they fuel up their restored 100-year-old Metters woodfired oven, tending to it through the night until their sourdoughs are ready at 6.30am. Baking over 1,500 loaves per week, their dedication can be tasted at their Maylands café, supermarkets, specialty stores and farmers markets. Also, don’t miss out on their pastries such as the choc raspberry morning buns and fig and custard tarts. 

194 Whatley Crescent, Maylands 

The Honeycake

The Honeycake

Like bees to honey, Perth’s sweet teeth can’t get enough of this Australian twist on a Bohemian honeycake classic. Sourcing their honey from the Margaret River region, each cake from The Honeycake is hand constructed in honey-flavoured layers with creamy caramel, walnuts and honeycake dust.

57a Washing Lane, Northbridge

Corner of South Terrace and Henderson Street, Fremantle 

Bittersweet Bake

Bittersweet Bake

They say we eat with our eyes as much as our taste buds, so before you even take a bite at Bittersweet, euphoria sets in. Using locally sourced produce, the baked fig, pistachio frangipani and honeycomb tarts and cakes adorned in fresh flowers are almost too pretty to eat. Focaccia, baguettes and quiche are a savoury alternative, but no matter what you order, their coffee roasted by Pound Coffee is a delicious accompaniment. There's no doubt that this is one of the best bakeries in Perth.

Shop 2/130 Wellington Street, Perth 

Corica Pastries

Corica Pastries

Whenever someone in Perth mentions, “I’ll bring a strudel,” it’s assumed it will be from Corica Pastries, who have been mastering their world-famous apple strudels since 1957. After devouring metres of flaky puff pastry, Italian custard, fresh apple and cream, you might turn your attention to their traditional Italian cakes, tarts and biscuits, including their shortbreads filled with jam named amore and paste secche, Sicilian almond cookies with a cherry on top.  

106 Aberdeen Street, Northbridge

Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop

Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop

Brace yourself for a big declaration – the banana cake at Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop is the best in Perth. Dispute it if you dare, but it has just the right mix of creamy banana and chocolate drops to create a luscious treat that many are prepared to line up for it at their vintage-style cafe in Maylands.

Others can’t get enough of their strawberry eclairs, New York-style bagels and cupcakes; but be warned, their raspberry and chocolate cake is worthy of inventing a special occasion for – who says you have to wait until your birthday for cake? 

206b Whatley Crescent, Maylands
