The Best Desserts for a Hot Perth Day
Perth summers are no joke. When the temperature hits the high 30s and the sun is blazing, you need a dessert that cools you down. Here are the best Muffle treats for a hot Perth day.
1. Thick Shakes ($10)
The ultimate cooling treat. Our thick shakes are cold, creamy, and satisfying. Choose from:
- Strawberry — fresh and fruity, like a drinkable summer
- Matcha — earthy and refreshing
- Vanilla — classic and comforting
- Caramel — sweet and indulgent
The thickness means they stay cold for ages. Perfect for sipping while exploring Fremantle Markets.
2. Matcha Cone ($7)
Matcha has a natural cooling quality — it's earthy, slightly bitter, and incredibly refreshing. In a freshly baked bubble waffle cone, it's the perfect hot-day treat. The vibrant green is also a mood booster.
3. Strawberry & Maple Waffle ($17)
Fresh, juicy strawberries are at their peak in summer. Combined with maple sauce and ice cream on a warm waffle, it's a taste of summer. The freshness of the strawberries makes it feel lighter than our richer options.
4. Sundaes ($9)
Our sundaes are loaded with cold soft serve and toppings. On a hot day, the Matcha Red Bean sundae is particularly refreshing — the earthy matcha and sweet red bean are a classic Japanese summer combination.
5. Vanilla Cone ($7)
Sometimes simple is best. A vanilla soft serve in a fresh waffle cone, eaten in the shade of Fremantle Markets' Heritage Hall, is hard to beat on a hot day.
Tips for Hot Day Dessert Eating
Eat Indoors
Fremantle Markets is undercover, making it a great escape from the sun. Enjoy your treat inside, where it's cooler.
Eat Fast
On a really hot day, ice cream melts quickly. Eat your waffle before the soft serve turns to soup!
Hydrate
Dessert is not a substitute for water. Drink plenty of water, especially in Perth's heat.
Share
On a hot day, a full waffle can be a lot. Split one with a friend and get a shake each.
Visit Early or Late
Fremantle Markets opens at 9am. Visit early to beat both the heat and the crowds. Or come late afternoon when the sun starts to lower.
