Our Top 7 Hot Cross Buns in Perth

We’ve searched high and low for the best bakeries crafting delicious hot cross buns before putting this list together. So, if you’re heading out in search of the best hot cross buns in Perth, here are our favourites for Easter 2026 (in no particular order!)

Miller + Baker – Northbridge

Miller + Baker in Lake Street, Northbridge has been a hit since opening six years ago – not surprising since it’s one of the few bakeries in Australia that mills its own flour. Over the past few months, their bakers have been perfecting the recipe for their 2026 Traditional Hot Cross Buns – a soft semi-sourdough infused with fragrant spices, juicy sultanas, house-made candied orange peel and glazed with a deliciously sticky orange syrup. A heavenly Chocolate HCB is also available with chocolate ganache dough, spices, plus dark and white chocolate chips. Both are served into custom boxes of 6 and pretty as a picture with their perfectly piped cross – they’re definitely drool-worthy.

Dough Street – Balcatta

For gluten free fans (and anyone who loves seriously indulgent baked goods), Dough Street in Balcatta is a must-visit this Easter. This Perth bakery, run by self-taught duo Nathan & Mel, has built a reputation for creating flaky croissants, gooey cinnamon buns, decadent cookies, and hearty savoury treats – all entirely gluten free. Their hot cross buns are no exception, with flavours that go far beyond the traditional, including pistachio, Nutella, chocolate, bueno, and mini egg varieties. Soft, gooey, and packed with goodies, these buns rival some of the best “regular” HXBs in town, proving gluten free can absolutely be just as indulgent. Pair one with a coffee on-site or take some home to share – though fair warning, it might not last long!

Goods Bakery – West Leederville

Goods Bakery in West Leederville has well and truly cemented itself as one of Perth’s best bakeries. With some of the most delicious pastries, croissants, crullers and ‘everything escargots’ it’s no wonder they are also producing some incredible hot cross buns. Their traditional fruit and spice buns for 2026 are made with Australian currants, sultanas and raisins, spiced with cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg and clove and finished with a vanilla and brown sugar glaze. So damn good!! Individuals or 6 packs are available in store – but get in early as they do sell out.

Knead Bread & Coffee – Scarborough

This family-run micro bakery is a local fave in Scarborough, and their baker Robby is a sourdough master. Knead’s bread and pastries are all natural and slowly fermented over a two to three-day process using the best quality Australian grown, organic flour from Wholegrain Milling. For Easter 2026, Knead are producing 2 types of hot cross buns – a soft traditional sourdough bun and a delicious bun loaded with dark chocolate chips for those who aren’t into fruit! Both are oh, so delicious, and bonus – they’re vegan friendly!! Baked fresh daily, and sold individually, it’s best to get there early to avoid missing out.

Crumbs Patisserie – Osborne Park or Subiaco

Since opening in October 2021, Crumbs has quickly made its mark in Perth with head pastry chef Julia serving up delicious pastries, cakes and desserts. Using the highest quality ingredients, seasonal produce and thriving on originality, it’s not surprisingly that Crumb’s Hot Cross Buns in 2026 come in two delicious flavours. Traditional, a soft bun loaded with spice and fruit. Dubai Chocolate – a rich chocolate bun loaded with pistachio cream and kataifi pastry. Available from Crumbs Osborne Park or Subiaco (Applecross now closed)

Big Loaf Bakery – O’Connor, Cottesloe, Shenton Park, East Fremantle

Previously voted as one of the best hot cross buns in Perth, Big Loaf Bakery are again this year pumping out more of their deliciously soft, plump and heavy buns. Filled with all Australian fruit soaked in Lady Grey tea with a secret spice blend and coated in vanilla glaze, you won’t be able to stop at one! They have a good, fruity flavour, great texture and are the best value of all the bakeries. Pick up a pack from Big Loaf Bakery in O’Connor, North Street Store, Cottesloe, Wards Central Dining in Shenton Park or Little Loaf Lunch Bar in South Fremantle.

Mary Street Bakery – Highgate, City Beach, West Leederville, QV1, Allendale SQ

With 5 locations around the Perth metro area, you won’t have any worries grabbing one of Mary Street Bakery’s popular hot cross buns. With two flavour options – traditional and choc orange on offer, the buns are huge and good value for money. Packed with cinnamon, nutmeg and oodles of dried fruit, and using locally ground flavour, these fluffy, light buns have an excellent spiced smell that certainly makes your mouth water!
