The best pies around Perth

We just can’t resist a controversial topic, can we? But we’ve been feeling the need for some golden, flaky, meaty goodness and we’ve just gotta let you know about where to find some of our favourite pies around town.

Last Crumb Cake Co.

You’ll be eating every crumb of the goodies that come out of Last Crumb Cake Co. in Bassendean. Their cakes are Insta-worthy showstoppers, but you’ll also find it hard to resist their equally gorg pies. Rustic, crimpy edges are perfect for mega pastry lovers (guilty), while their generous fillings range from the classics, to more adventurous yet equally tempting flavours like BBQ beef brisket with mac and cheese. Oof.

77 West Road, Bassendean

Goods Bakery

It should come as no surprise that Goods would make its way onto this list. Back when it first opened, it was our obsession – and it’s managed to maintain it’s position as one of our most often visited spots! We’re partial to picking up a cheeky fougasse or focaccia to have with our dinner, or a flakey morning bun rolled with clove-spiced sugar as a special treat with our coffees… But their pies! Filled with either chunky beef and stout or a rich eggplant curry, they’ve been an almost embarrassingly frequent weekend lunch for us lately.

Butter Crumbs

After a brief 18-month stint in Inglewood, Butter Crumbs moved into a permanent space in Mount Lawley back in 2022 – and it couldn’t have come soon enough. Baking in small batches, there’s a reason they’ve been a cult hit since their early days at the Mount Claremont Farmers’ Market. Comforting pies (both sweet and savoury) are a must, as is the burnt Basque cheesecake, and you’ll also see some pretty tempting seasonal offerings.

Teeter Bakery

It hardly needs to be said at this point, but… If you ask us almost any pastry-related question, we’re going to tell you to go to Teeter Bakery! We firmly maintain that Perth’s very own superstar baker Tash Brownfield can do no wrong – with pastries mind-bendingly good, teetering (‘scuse us) the line between traditional viennoserie and contemporary flavours. For the record: they don’t do their (excellent) pies every single week… But with the impressive range of savoury pastries on offer, we don’t think you’ll leave disappointed.

145a Claisebrook Road, Perth

Grocer And The Chef

The Grocer And The Chef have been steadily growing admirers since opening in 2020 – not just for their top-tier local produce, or their sparkling customer service, but also for their delicious deli goods. Star amongst them is their chunky steak pie – filled with tender, chunky beef in just the right amount of gravy, and encased in some A+ pastry.

115 Lefroy Road, Beaconsfield

Meat & Mains

These days, Mount Hawthorn just can’t miss! The suburb has seen a huge boom in amazing eateries of late, so it only makes sense that their produce is equally on the up. Enter, Meat & Mains – selling restaurant-grade, sustainable and locally-sourced produce, it’ll transform your home-cooked dinners into something truly special… But we think before you make the arduous journey home, you deserve one of their equally special pies.

Shop 10, The Mezz, 148 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn

Sunshine Café

Sunshine Cafe (yes, that understated lunch bar on Beaufort Street ) just keep serving up some of the best food in Perth. Tucked away on Beaufort Street in between Walcott Street and Queens Crescent, and with no online presence to speak of, Sunshine is about as unassuming as it comes – but their flavourful menu has meant a loyal following of devotees. Generous sizes at reasonable prices make it an all round hit. From pho to banh mi – or, of course, the lunch bar stalwart of an absolutely ripper pie.

683A Beaufort St, Mount Lawley

Jaylea’s Patisserie

This community-focused, family-run patisserie is serving up some truly comforting pies. Whether you’re into a classic steak and kidney, a unique chilli con carne pie topped with cheese, or even something a bit fancier involving steak, porcini and blue cheese, you’ll walk away happy. Vegan pie lovers can get in on the action too, with Jaylea’s offering some impressive vegan pie and pastie options.

88 Archibald Street, Willagee

Marco’s Fussy Meats

You’ve just got to take one look at a Fussy Meats pie to know you’ve got something special in your hands (and heart). While their pastry is spectacularly buttery, it’s matched by the generous, chunky fillings. We’re not surprised it’s just about everyone’s #1.

Nieuw Ruin

The fanfare that followed Nieuw Ruin’s 2021 opening has proven to be warranted. While the star of the show is arguably their “weird wines” and standout cocktails – their food is certainly vying for the spotlight. With a kitchen helmed by rising star, Head Chef Stephen Chen under the guidance of Executive Chef (and certified star) Blaze Young, the menu is part bar snack, part European comfort, all delicious. (The cauliflower pie has become the stuff of legend, and when enjoyed on a cool winter’s night you’ll find it hard to argue.)

12 Norfolk Street, Fremantle

Edward & Ida’s

Of course, if we mention Nieuw Ruin… We’ve got to talk about Edward & Ida’s! While it’s the younger sibling of Nieuw Ruin, Edward & Ida’s keeps things decidedly old-school – from the corner pub vibes to the lunch time specials. But in the hands of the aforementioned shining culinary star Blaze Young, old-school pub classics are given a fresh spin in this Northbridge haunt – including their pies, which are particularly tempting when offered with a pint as part of their weekly specials.

269 William Street, Perth

Boatshed Market

Sometimes you just need to connect to a more bougie side of yourself. While just stepping inside the Boatshed can feel aspirational, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Australia’s favourite blue-collar food there. The Boatshed’s bakery (and let’s be honest, the whole store) is pretty impressive from the get-go, and their pies (also available in family sizes) certainly follow suit. For those who are going for more of a seafaring vibe, their fish pie – available at the fish counter – is a winter treat.

40 Jarrad Street, Cottesloe

North Street Store

Ah yes, this one almost goes without saying, doesn’t it? North Street Store (and their ever-expanding empire) are serving up some pies that stand up to the hype. Some of the best, flakiest pastry in town makes these worth their weight in gold.

Olsen Butcher

You know what we said about butchers and pies? Well, it rings true yet again with a visit to Olsen Butcher. Situated on the bustling Angelo Street (plus its outposts in Roleystone and Booragoon), the family owned and operated business has been running since 1989, serving up quality, local produce since its beginnings. The same approach and dedication is seen in their pies: flaky, golden and packed with delicious quality meat.

Miller + Baker

We were pretty jazzed about Miller + Baker’s opening that snuck in at the end of 2019, and our excitement hasn’t really abated in the intervening years. We’re not alone in this sentiment, earning a huge following not just for their artisanal breads (made with house-milled flour, you’ll find their bread in some of Perth’s best cafes and restaurants), but their equally delectable pastries. While their fillings often change, you’re guaranteed it’ll be topped with some toweringly flaky pastry.

6B/236 Lake Street, Northbridge

Grain Bakery

This small, family-run bakery may have only opened in 2021, but it’s already become a huge hit around its Lathlain location. A large part of Grain Bakery’s success can be attributed to their long family baking history, with decades-old family recipes utilised to this day. When it comes to pies, their jalapeño and cheese has been a huge hit – but we also find it hard to go past the chunky steak and mushroom.

19 Lathlain Place, Lathlain
4/155 Onslow Road, Shenton Park

Mary Street Bakery

Look, every time we start getting a little cynical about the roaring success of Mary Street… Well, we have a little tasty treat, and we’re reminded of how good they are. Their pies are no different, with their signature golden, flaky pastry, as well as a rotating roster of fillings that’ll have you coming back for more.

Various locations

The Dutchy

Formerly a Dutch butcher and grocer, under new ownership and with a new name, the Dutchy is transformed into a lunch bar – with a secret weapon. As well as a classic roster of fresh sandwiches, you can also get your hands on some of Perth’s best traditional English pork pies. Made on premises by pie-master Mick hold up the legacy of the classic worker’s lunch.

29 Adrian Street, Welshpool

Cambridge Corner Store

Sure, some friend tells you somewhere’s great… That’s not always enough to sell us. But when we keep hearing the same name, again and again, over and over? Well, that’s when we’re really paying attention. Cambridge Corner Store is one such place, winning legions of local fans at their old-school corner deli spot. Hand-made in store, and with moreish fillings like beef rendang and chicken satay – these pies are packed to the brim and tantalisingly golden.

442 Cambridge Street, Floreat
