Perryman’s Bakery

I found perrymans bakery while searching on Unilocal for a bakery in nth adl. I have to say I was a little disappointed. I got the ‘large’ pepper steak pie and for $ 5 was still left hungry. Pastry was good and filling was in good proportion but I felt it was too pricey for the size. There was a HUGE line up. Their cakes/​sweets looked fantastic but I skipped those. I’d go back again but I’d probably get a little something else to go with my pastry.

North Adelaide’s got the lunch deals going on… You might say North Adelaide and lunch go together like pie and sauce. And at the saucy centre of this burb is Perryman’s bakery. Grab a pie, pasty or cake and a coffee for $ 4. Thank you *cough* perry much for the best vego pasty I’ve ever had…
8 reasons why Perryman’s kicks ass:
1. Milkshakes (small $ 3.50)
2. Handheld bell to shake for service
3. Sit outside under a big tree
4. Chicks!!!
5. Standout, flaky pastry
6. Tradition — one of Australia’s oldest bakeries
7. Easily accessed, but off the beaten path
8. Bright, fun character digs
A steady stream of regulars means they run out of stuff in the afternoon.

St Georges Bakery may have won the States Best Pie for this year, but I just don’t care! Perryman’s is and always will be the balls!
When I was still having issues with the whole shoe lace thing and my He Man figurine (with the rotating chest plate) was my favourite toy (Voltron has taken its place), my mummy and daddy used to drag me around North Adelaide for one reason or another. Fortunately though, I was a right annoying little shit and bugged my folks relentlessly until they took me to Perrymans!
They are a Bakery, so they stock all of the normal stuff, but their pies are certainly where it be at! Wonderful little cocktail size bites of mouthwatering minced meat make me want to lock hands with anyone close by and do the dance of joy!
Get on it, and get there early, because they NEVER have stock left by the end of trading!

This is a delightful bakery reminiscent of a bygone era, before mass production and chain stores.
The friendly bakers offer good customer service and the bakery oozes with 19^th century charm.
A blue plaque on the wall says baking has been carried out on the site for more than 130 years. The building was erected in the early 1850s and altered to its present appearance in 1868.
It is situated in a quiet street just off the main drag of O’Connell Street and there is alfresco dining for those after a relaxing lunch.
The small, crescent-​shaped vegetarian pasties, sprinkled with poppy seeds, are surprisingly substantial. They are packed with potato and other vegetables such as swede, and seasoned with herbs.
The bakery sells tasty gingerbread ‘babies’ made with unbleached bakers flour, brown sugar, honey and, of course, ginger, which the baker says are supplied by the bakery’s previous owners. Bakers also produce tasty seasonal gifts, such as steamed Christmas puddings, on the premises.
