Mary Street Bakery

Perth


Crunchy and warm baked goods, artisan bread and interesting cafe fare combine with what may be Perth's best chocolate-filled doughnuts at this spacious, sunny addition to the casual dining scene in Mount Lawley. It's a good way to start the day – particularly if you order the fried-chicken buttermilk pancakes – before exploring the area's eclectic retail scene.
