Mary Street Bakery

Mary Street Bakery is a chain store bakery and cafe located in Western Australia.

Description
The venue has been described as a 'Perth institution' by The West Australian. It is well known in Perth's breakfast and brunch scene. Reviewers have said that the baked goods and coffee across each of these venues 'tend to be reliably very good'.

It is known in part for its breakfast dessert menu. Dishes served include croissant bread and butter pudding, doughnuts with hundreds and thousands. Savoury dishes include the brisket sandwich with Russian dressing, and smoked salmon croquettes and beetroot fritters. The savoury menu was described as "the kind of meal that won’t win a beauty contest: the fritters are fat, red-brown and, well, it’s best not to dwell on what they look like. But the flavours are good, as is the pink hummus they sit on".

History
The store was opened by Michael Forde and Paul Aron, also known for their cafe chains Tiny's and Offshoot Coffee. It has six locations, in Highgate, West Leederville, QV1 Perth, Allendale Square, City Beach and Claremont.

Reception
In a 2023 review of the opening of the City Beach store, Kate Emery of The West Australian, scored the venue 16/20 writing: "Mary Street is sufficiently well known that it doesn’t need me to sing its praises. But it’s nice to be reminded that the speed with which they have seduced Perth — they’re up to six locations now — doesn’t appear to have come at the cost of turning out an excellent breakfast."

In another earlier review of Mary Street, Kate Emery scored the Highgate store a 'four our of five teacups', after praising its chocolate peanut caramel donut, and the 'morning bun' described as a mix between a cinnamon scroll, an escargot, and an almond croissant. The long macciato was also praised.
