Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Cairns

"When it comes to the most beautiful restaurants in Fremantle, Bread in Common certainly will take the cake. High ceilings, glowing single-strung light globes, wheat husks adorning the tables and an open kitchen that shows the chefs at work like a beautifully choreographed dance. The food is designed to share, and we recommend you start your meal with their wood-fired organic bread and a selection of their dips and spreads such as the sweet garlic butter with fennel salt or white bean with rosemary and saltbush."

"Bread In Common has become one of the most reliable dining experiences in Freo – always quality, always cosy. We’ll never go past the lamb ribs, but the seasonal menu is also host to plenty of winners. That’s without delving into the now-ubiquitous namesake bread, that seemingly revolutionised the city’s collective palate and forced countless restaurants and bakeries to up their bread game."

"Established in 1925, Culley’s has been serving Fremantle and suburbs with the takeaway, dine-in, wholesale and catering ever since. And sticking to West Australian, it serves pies, sandwiches, rolls, cakes, burgers etc.  Traditional horseshoe rolls, slow-baked pies with melt-in-the-mouth pastry, cakes and barista-made coffee are some of its specialities. Address: 116, High Street, Fremantle, WA 6160"

"Running over 4 generations, with a history spanning over 80 years, Culley’s Tea Rooms is just about as authentically Fremantle as you can get. Home of award winning pies, daily baked breads and fresh ..."

"Nestled just inside the Singleton Village Shopping Center, this bakery offers a vegan version of Long John Donuts. Displayed prefilled, choose from jam, lemon or chocolate. All served with delicious white cream."

"Bittersweet Bake’s signature – the chocolate, rose, raspberry and coconut cake, a Turkish delight-style creation which she explains came to her in a dream – is the biggest seller. There’s also a range of other innovative flavour combinations stacking the cake cabinet. Serving roasts from Pound Coffee in O’Connor alongside quiches, baguettes and pastries, Bittersweet Bake creates petal-crowned cakes are as delectable as they are Instagrammable."

"Visit Rorystone’s Honeys Bakehouse for the right bakery-style vegan jam and custard donuts. Owner Brent likes to try interesting combinations (think red velvet donuts and Ferrero Rocher croissants), so I don’t know what to find. Spend the day enjoying the views of Perth’s hills, or pre-order a selection of sweets every Friday at Subiaco’s Rabida Vegan."

"Serpentine Falls makes for a beautiful swimming spot just under an hours’ drive south of Perth. The falls are only a short walk from the car park in Serpentine National Park. You can often see Western Grey Kangaroos in the picnic area and stunning wildflowers during spring."

"The Newhaven Estate Robot Park in Piara Waters is unlike any of the parks that are found in Perth. Catering for kids of all ages, it has an industrial robot theme throughout, with a mixture of sand and water-related featured. Its key feature is the brightly coloured giant robot’s head where kids can climb through it and go down the slide that’s hidden in the middle."

"A serene and sprawling public space close to the waterfront, Esplanade Park is great for picnics, sunbathing, or a spin on the giant Skyview (Ferris) wheel. There are playgrounds for the kids, majestic Norfolk pines, and it’s close enough to the city that it makes a nice respite from the workday, with local workers and tourists alike enjoying a quiet moment in the park before returning to the real world."

"Would you believe this small planting trees initiative taken by Fremantle government in 1908 turned out to be a scenic park?. Yes, Esplanade Park’s first plant was planted in 1908. Right now the park has more the 100 mature Norfolk Island Pines."

"Less than a 25-minute drive south-west of the CBD, Samsons Paddock is renowned as one of the best meat-inspired restaurants in Perth. Offering a mouthwatering selection of both steak and whisky and whether it’s lunch, dinner or a drink, guests are fed lengthy lists of varied options. However, if you’d rather stick to something more homegrown, be sure to pick one of their delicious seasonal share plates or one of their locally-sourced wine or beer options."

"A long-loved watering hole in Mosman Park, Samson’s Paddock on Glyde Street is a tapas haven for local foodies. With a history dating back to the 1830s when horses rested out front while riders quench..."

"First port of call on the Freo Crafty Crawl is a local institution: Clancy’s Fish Pub. When a pub has been around for this long while also amassing three sister venues it must be doing something right. Family friendly, full of maritime charm and spacious, Clancy’s is that rarest of things (within any given city): a classic Australian character pub."
