An icon in Adelaide and to be discovered on this side street. Little lunch on a Tuesday and I had a sausage roll and custard fruit flan, and a Farmers Union Iced Coffee (of course!). I squatted to eat on the little bench inside and enjoyed each item. The custard fruit flan was delicious. A treat to visit this place and to see the recurring long queue of people coming to eat!
2nd visit
Went back today and had a Cornish Pasty that reminded me of the ones my Grandma used to make. So, so good.
But dear Lord almighty! The Beesting! Oh my goodness gracious! Just a thing of wonder!

Pretty much a part of Adelaide History, Perryman's has been churning out the baked goods for nearly 100 years and even though the original family sold it a few years back (after three generations) they're still using the original recipes, many of them from a German background.
Their pies and pasties are smaller than those from most places - pocket pies and pasties. I've heard two stories about this. One is that just after Perryman's started out the Great Depression hit and by making smaller pies and pasties more people could afford to buy them. The other is that Perryman's used to supply lunches to the kids at North Adelaide Primary School next door and the things are kid's lunch sized. whatever the reason their savoury baked goods are delicious and just the right size to eat two.
We also had a egg salad roll, with lots of filling in the freshest of real bread. A really delicious thing.
Go and find them in the far end of Tynte Street and enjoy. By the way, the cakes and the bread look absolutely sensational!
This place does German cakes better than the best German bakers in the Barossa. Everything I have tried here is top quality. The streusel is amazing. I love a good bakery and Perryman's is up there with the best of them. Basically hidden down Tynte street, those in the know turn down off O'Connell Street to get their much needed carb fix. Carb haters look away now. Love this place. The packed lunch time crowd shows that many others do also.
