Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Fremantle

"Afternoon Have lunch at Bread in Common, an inspired bakery, restaurant and bar in a converted warehouse before checking out the rollicking Fremantle Markets (Friday to Sunday) where you can shop for Aboriginal artworks and local produce, then browse the bookshops and boutiques along nearby South Terrace where local artists and musicians create a carnival atmosphere on weekends. Go on a pub crawl to check out Fremantle’s craft brewers such as The Monk Brewery and Kitchen and the heritage-listed Sail & Anchor Hotel. Finish at the large and bustling Little Creatures Brewery on Fishing Boat Harbour. Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House."

"When talking Fremantle food there would be no list without Bread In Common. Prior to its establishment, the Fremantle food scene was about BYO pizza and pasta (not that there is anything wrong with that) but Bread in Common upped the ante when they came along with their menu inspired by locally sourced, seasonal produce based all around—you know it—bread. Their long tables and shared menu make them the perfect spot to break bread with your friends."

"After dipping their toes into the inner-city with a pop-up shop inside a shipping container, this Perth institution has established itself in the CBD at the bottom of the QV1 building on St Georges Terrace. Mary Street Bakery have brought their famous doughnuts and pastries with them, as well as specialty coffee courtesy of their roastery Offshoot. You find other Perth locations at Highgate, West Leederville and down the road in Allendale Square."

"This bakehouse began on the corner of Mary Street and Beaufort Street in Highgate, but has grown into a city-wide empire spanning Allendale Square, City Beach, QV1 and West Leederville. The house-made bread and doughnuts are only half the story – the cosmopolitan brunch menu makes the original space one of Perth’s most popular cafés. “Mary Street Bakery is a giant – they’ve excelled in their field, that’s for sure,” Atwell says."

"You can find a few around Perth all with the same ambient corner cafe vibes and tasty food. If you want to go donuts for breakfast (because why not?!) they have some of the best, take for example their humble lamington crossed with a jam donut- pure genius."

"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 ..."

"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."

"For a big day out a little further out of Perth, Cohunu Koala Park down in Byford is a great chance to get your kids acquainted with some native Australian wildlife. There are parrots, emus, kangaroos, owls, deer and of course, koalas. There’s even some replica dinosaurs (we’re sensing a bit of a Jurassic theme on this list) and a kids train to choo choo around on."

"Located in the burbs, French Accent has everything you could ever want from a neighbourhood restaurant. The contemporary establishment in Swan Valley boasts a beautiful summer terrace and outdoor garden space as well as a cosy brick interior. When it comes to their menu, head chef Antoine Lardin cultivates a food philosophy that is all about innovative and interactive dishes."

"This waterfront hideaway in Elizabeth Quay invites you to forget the bustle of the city and lose yourself in glamorous cocktails and golden sunsets over Perth's Swan River."

"Named after Hong Kong’s popular newspaper, The Apple Daily Bar and Eating House is an East-meets-West collaboration that caters to casual and fine diners alike. Apple Daily’s interior style falls somewhere between moody and modern, its walls plastered over with printed newspaper which has itself been written over with Mandarin script. Jointly designed by Print Hall’s Executive Chef Shane Watson and Apple Daily’s Head Chef Andrew Moores, the South East Asian street style menu is crafted with sharing in mind, featuring small bites like crispy soft shell crab, and saltwater duck with spring onion, flower bun and hoisin."

"Named after Hong Kong’s popular daily newspaper, Apple Daily Eating House is situated on the second story of Print Hall in Brookfield Place. It offers refined and sophisticated Chinese food that is designed for sharing – from snacks, to large plates, sides and desserts. All of the above ideal to enjoy with an Asian-inspired cocktail, Taiwanese whisky or sake."
