About Perrymans Bakery
Perrymans Bakery is a small corner shop on Tynte Street in North Adelaide with a big reputation for its pies. Locals rave about the pepper steak and the steak, bacon and cheese, with thick, rich gravy and generous chunks of tender meat. A squeeze of free sauce on top is part of the charm. Sausage rolls, quiches and pasties are available to order.
The sweet side of the counter is just as busy. People come for the Kitchener buns, bee sting buns, vanilla slices, apple turnovers and gingerbread, and one long-time regular says they've been buying their Kitcheners here since the 70s because the jam does the sweetening and the bun stays rich and dense. The sourdough has its fans as well, including a spiced fruit bun that gets a mention, and everything is baked on site daily, so the cabinet is usually well stocked even later in the day.
Their own line is "superior products, using premium ingredients, backed by over 100 years of tradition", and the bakery describes itself as artisan, using locally sourced ingredients like free range eggs, flour, vegetables and meats. It also does custom celebration cakes, gluten-free options and catering for corporate and private functions, with online ordering available.
You can eat in, take away, pick up in store or have it delivered. There's a shaded spot outside for a pie and a coffee, and the coffee gets a good word too. Free street parking nearby and a wheelchair-accessible car park make it easy to drop in.
It's a tiny shop, so expect a queue at busy times, and one visitor wished the sweet cabinet had clearer labels. One local found the pastry underdone on their visit. Still, the friendly counter staff and fair prices keep people returning, and the hours vary through the week, so check before you head in.
