Golden Bakery - FROBISHER ST

Pies are what this Osborne Park bakery is known for, and the word around Perth is that they do them properly: golden, flaky tops, plenty of filling and pastry that isn't greasy. The curry beef pie gets a lot of love, and the cheese and bacon is a familiar order too. One local would like to see more variety beyond beef, and not every pie or sausage roll lands perfectly, but most people leave happy and come back for more.

Beyond pies, the counter covers sausage rolls, party pies, curry puffs, pasties and samosas, plus sweet things like carrot cake. Rolls are a quiet highlight. They're made fresh to order, you choose your own fillings, and the chicken roll has a reputation for being generous in size. There's also salad, Vietnamese-style rolls and rice paper rolls, a handy option for anyone avoiding gluten. Coffee and breakfast are on the menu as well.

It's a bakery in Osborne Park that suits the working day. They open early, which tradies and early-morning walkers appreciate, and the queue tends to be long but moves quickly. Staff are friendly and the prices are seen as fair for the size of what you get. You can order for takeaway or pick up in-store, or sit down at the small number of tables inside and out under the shade cloth.

Catering is a big part of the business. Locals use them for work lunch platters, party food and mini pies, and you can order through their website. Their line is stress-free catering for your next event, and the freshly baked goods suit that. They also supply wholesale baked goods to anyone wanting to stock their own offerings.

Parking is the one thing to plan for. The car park is small, though there's free street parking on the side streets nearby. There are wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park options, and they take cards and tap payments. Check the hours before you head in, as they're closed one day a week.
