Welcome

The Old Bakery on 8th Gallery and Café are both housed in an old bakery building, circa 1903, which is a feature of the Maylands historic Eighth Avenue precinct. The Gallery and Café combine to offer an attractive destination, easily reached by train, bus or car, just minutes from the Perth CBD. The Old Bakery's motto is: 'Fine Art, Fine Food, Fine Coffee'.

The Gallery

Since opening in 1996 the gallery has established a reputation for sourcing an outstanding collection of Western Australian fine art and craft under the direction of partners Anne Butorac, Rosemary Cant and Kath Lymon.

With Christmas approaching we have a distinctive new line in Rita Winkler's stunning jewellery in oxidised silver, 24 ct gold and semi-precious stones. We are very pleased to have this wonderful range of pendants, rings and ear-rings. Each is individual and distinctive. New Panache Lace felted silk wraps are in stock. These are always popular. The gallery also has new line of clutch bags from Debi at Mermaid Designs; executive pens beautifully finished in natural timbers; our usual range of jewellery to suit all tastes and ages; fabulous silk scarves and men's ties; a great variety of homewares in glass, wood, and ceramics, including stylish trivets in jarrah, Tasmanian oak and granite (wonderful wedding presents); 'stocking fillers' and, much more!.

The Cafe

The adjoining cafe, established in 2006, has become a popular destination with its delicious food and beautiful rear garden. The gallery and cafe are integrated with hanging space in the Cafe and cafe seating in the Gallery.

The Woodfired Baker

The original bakery and oven have been brought into production again as a wood-fired, traditional bakery by 'The Woodfired Baker'. It has a theatre-style kitchen that can be viewed through a window from the gallery enabling you to watch bread being moulded by hand as it was in the 1900s. The bread is being used by the cafe which also sells the bread each day.
