About The Baking Corner

If you're after a bakery in Subiaco that's as much a pleasure to look at as to eat from, The Baking Corner on Rokeby Road has a strong local reputation. It does both takeaway and dine-in, with coffee and breakfast on the menu as well as the cabinet.

Pies are what it's known for, and we hear the steak and cheese pie gets a nod. Croissants appear on the menu, along with a pistachio cronut with house-made pistachio cream. Then there's the rabbit tart, a crumble tart that's cute to look at. The cakes have a following for not being overly sweet, with the chocolate ganache a favourite. The iced coconut matcha is popular, and the coffee gets a thumbs up. One local called the beef brisket toastie the best sandwich they'd ever had.

Staff are friendly and prices are considered fair for what you get. One visitor found a late-afternoon pie and croissant a bit past their best, and another felt the service queue was handled unevenly, so earlier in the day may suit if you want the cabinet at its fullest.

Seating outside is limited, so it's better suited to takeaway, though it's dog-friendly if you do stay. It opens every day of the week, including weekends, but check the hours before you head in. Cards and mobile payments are accepted.
