The Ultimate Perth Dessert Crawl
If you love desserts as much as we do, why not dedicate a whole day to them? Here's our ultimate Perth dessert crawl — a self-guided tour of the best sweet spots in Perth and Fremantle.
Stop 1: Morning Coffee and Pastry — Perth CBD
Start your day in the city with a coffee and a pastry from one of Perth's excellent bakeries. This is your warm-up — keep it light, you've got a big day ahead.
Stop 2: Mid-Morning Gelato — Northbridge
Head to Northbridge for a mid-morning gelato. The area has several excellent gelato shops with flavours ranging from classic to adventurous.
Stop 3: Train to Fremantle
Catch the train from Perth to Fremantle (about 30 minutes). Use the journey to let your stomach settle — you'll need the room.
Stop 4: Lunch and a Muffle Bubble Waffle — Fremantle Markets
This is the main event. Head straight to Fremantle Markets and find Muffle. Order your bubble waffle — we recommend the Biscoff or the Nutella Strawberry for maximum indulgence. Pair it with a thick shake for the full experience.
Pro tip: Order a waffle to eat now, and a waffle cone to take for the walk. The matcha cone is a great choice.
Stop 5: Afternoon Treat — Cappuccino Strip
Walk off your waffle (slightly) along South Terrace, the famous cappuccino strip. Stop at a cafe for a coffee and a small sweet treat.
Stop 6: Sunset Sundae — Bathers Beach
Walk down to Bathers Beach. If you time it right, you can enjoy the sunset while finishing your treats. The combination of ocean views, warm evening light, and sweet treats is unbeatable.
Stop 7: Evening Dessert — Fremantle
If you've still got room (and you should make room), head back to the Markets area for one final treat. A thick shake or a sundae from Muffle is the perfect way to end your crawl.
