Mary Street Bakery is easily my favourite Perth haunt for breakfast but many journey to the Highgate and West Leedy digs for its donuts.

MARY STREET BAKERY
It's true, Mary Street Bakery is my favourite place for breakfast. Maybe its my soft spot for Beaufort Street, or perhaps its because you can order gnocchi and icy pops before noon. I always find myself torn between two dishes, so I do what any sensible person would do in my position … I order both and the waitstaff pretty much give me a 'hell yeah' high five. Maybe its this total acceptance and applauding of overordering that keeps me going back.

Is it right to eat dessert at breakfast? Mary Street Bakery's head chef Courtney Gibb is forever pushing the breakfast boundaries and turning the boring ol' hour of eggs on toast and bircher on its head. Our ensemble had the air of a decadent evening meal but was happily consumed with coffee before the clock struck 10am.
A luxe way to start the weekend with favourite friends Ai-Ling of Food Endeavours of the Blue Apocalypse, Custard & Co's hustler Caitlyn (also of Mixed Dozen) and Stacey Clark Stylist. We spent the hours talking shiny new diaries, pop up dining adventures with Custard & Co that will soon fill up our calendars and all the wonders that inspire us about embracing the clean slate that is the new year. Fuelled by salted caramel, candied bacon and caffeine we went on our merry way clutching our Custard & Co Family Xmas ciders.
Love you girls xo

Mary Street Bakery
A salted caramel doughnut as a treat before breakfast? Um, yes please.
Having a bakery on Beaufort Street has added many inches in all the wrong places but meh ... I would rather enjoy my breakfast with reckless abandonment.
Mary Street Bakery will soon be turning one and has been buzzing ever since they opened their doors. I love that the menu changes frequently enough to keep me amused but they still have all those favourites that keep you coming back. Did I mention salted caramel doughnuts?. This time it was my treat for my little sister's birthday.
Birthday girl enjoyed slow cooked eggs on sourdough with crispy bacon. Sometimes you just want bacon and eggs huh? I took those two elements to the next level with a pork scotch egg served with onion mojo and cress. I don't think I have ever had a scotch egg so full of flavour cradling it's own perfectly cooked egg. We also chowed down kipfler potatoes with aioli and a lovely big squirt of sriracha.
