About Sherbet Cafe & Bake Shop

Directly opposite Maylands station, this retro bakery counters Perth's sleek brunch monotony with honest mid-century diner soul. Settle into a booth beneath pressed tin ceilings and Formica tables for traditional baking served in hefty portions. Regulars line up early for towering wedges of chocolate-beetroot cake under thick ganache, flaky vanilla slices, and tart rhubarb-raspberry bakes. On the savoury side, find toasted pastrami Reubens, warm flatbreads, and reliable bagels beside cups of strong coffee. Crucially for late afternoon cravings, the counter keeps pulling espresso and slicing layered cakes past 3 PM until 4 PM closing.

  • Vintage Diner Aesthetic: Mid-century diner styling complete with booth seating, pressed tin ceilings, and Formica tables.
  • Traditional Cake Counter: A packed showcase of generously portioned bakes, from chocolate-beetroot cake to fruit-heavy tarts and celebration tiers.
  • Afternoon Sweet Fix: Keeps counter service running and espresso pulling until 4:00 PM, well past typical cafe hours.

  • Reliable Celebration Cake Ordering

    The bake shop provides seamless ordering for whole layered celebration cakes that arrive moist, fresh, and praised across multi-generational gatherings.

    It looked great, tasted AMAZING and dealing with the cafe itself for orders was a breeze. We had Soo many people comment and tell us how delicious the cake was.

  • Authentic Mid-Century Diner Vibe

    Guests experience warm nostalgia stepping into a whimsical dining room complete with 1950s booth seating, Formica tables, and vintage tin ceilings.

    A beautiful art deco setting, it's a time warp to the 60's. Formica tables, pressed tin ceilings, duck egg green paintwork.

  • Cozy Booth Seating For Catch-Ups

    Comfortable booths and a cozy vintage atmosphere offer an inviting backdrop to settle in over a pot of tea and sweet pastries.

    it’s so cosy to curl up in a booth with a pot of tea and a slice of the amazing chocolate banana bread.

  • Open Until 4 PM For Afternoon Treats

    While most nearby cafes finish service early, Sherbet continues serving fresh slices and hot coffee into late afternoon hours.

    Large venues with indoor and outdoor tables. Possibly best vanilla slice in Perth. Bonus is they open till 4pm unlike most other coffee/cake places.

  • Reliable Past-3 PM Cake & Coffee Stop

    Late afternoon visitors can rely on an eclectic bakery counter and barista coffee after the typical early cafe shutdown.

    I looked for a place that shut later than the normal 2 or 3pm and found this place. Though the choices were minimalised due to the time, there was still a good choice.
