Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop

Right across from Maylands station—a total retro time warp. Vintage 50s diner digs. A brilliantly upbeat, bustling weekend energy. Perth pastry fiends are absolutely obsessed with the cake counter here—and rightly so. Thick slices of choc-beetroot cake slathered in rich ganache. Crumbly, fruit-heavy rhubarb and raspberry tarts. Proper old-fashioned baking. Grab a perfectly extracted espresso or a pot of tea to wash down a generous slice of lemon cheesecake. Beyond the sweets, they’re slinging solid brekkie staples, fresh bagels, and toasted Reubens on rye. Constantly buzzing. Super lovely staff throwing on great tunes. Skip the sterile modern spots—this is where you go for a nostalgia-soaked sugar fix.
