About Cafe Pastel - Portuguese Tart Cafe Perth

Perth pastry fiends make the William Street detour for blistering, caramel-kissed pastel de nata hot from the deck. The appeal is in the shatter—paper-thin, buttery shells holding wobble-soft vanilla custard. Beyond the traditional standard, the counter packs inventive twists like fragrant pandan, biscoff, and spiced savoury bakes alongside dedicated vegan custards. Grab a warm box and a smooth flat white for the stroll across Northbridge.

  • Inventive Flavours: Ranging from classic vanilla and fragrant pandan to biscoff and savoury fillings.
  • Vegan Options: Dedicated plant-based custard tarts with the same flaky, crisp pastry shell.
  • Traditional Pastel de Nata: Crispy, laminated pastry filled with silky custard, served fresh alongside coffee.
