Layers Bakery

Right by Subiaco station—a masterclass in *viennoiserie*. Perth’s pastry obsessives are quietly clearing out the display cases here long before noon. The draw? Impeccable *laminage*. Think dangerously delicious almond croissants and crème brûlée pastries shattering into buttery, golden shards with every bite. You taste the rich French butter instantly. While the early-risers snag the iconic pain au chocolat and éclairs, those sticking around for coffee enjoy a surprisingly accessible Saturday morning seat. Need a showstopper? The bespoke cakes—like their impossibly light raspberry mille-feuille—dominate special occasions. Friendly, fast-paced, and fiercely authentic. Set an alarm. Once the day's bake is gone, the doors shut.
