Our story

Welcome to Big Loaf Factory Bakery, a true O'Connor local gem that feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, but is truly a destination worth finding. We started with a simple mission: to bake the kind of bread and pastries we couldn't find anywhere else – the honest, flavourful, and expertly crafted kind.

The heart of the loaf

Housed in a building that proudly shows its factory roots, we believe the best food comes from a place of passion and skill. From our multi-award-winning Cott Sour to our legendary cinnamon scrolls, every product is made fresh daily on-site. We're more than just a bakery; we're a part of the Fremantle community, a place where families gather at our outdoor tables, friends share a coffee, and everyone leaves with a little something delicious.

The big loaf experience

So, you're planning your first visit to Big Loaf? Here’s what makes a trip to our O'Connor bakery so special:

  1. The Aroma of Freshness: From the moment you step into our shop, you're greeted by the unmistakable scent of freshly baked bread and pastries. We are a working factory bakery, which means everything is made right here, from our crusty Baguettes to our fluffy Almond Croissants.
  2. The Hunt for the Famous Cinnamon Scroll: Be warned: our cinnamon scrolls are so divine, they often sell out! A recurring favourite among our customers, they are the stuff of local legend. Come early to secure yours!
  3. An Al Fresco Affair: Love enjoying your pastry straight away? Our spacious outdoor dining area is the perfect spot to savour your treats. It’s a community hub where you can relax with a freshly brewed coffee while the kids enjoy the small play area.
  4. A Local's Tip: While our pastries are always delicious, note that if you're dining in, they are served at room temperature. For a warm, melty experience, a quick zap at home does the trick! Many of our regulars, like the solo reviewer who visits weekly, swear by taking their Continental Roll and other goodies home.
  5. Look Beyond the Pastry Case: Don't forget to explore our range of family-sized pies, delicious sandwiches, and even local grocery items like flour and dips. It’s your one-stop shop for a tasty family meal or a thoughtful gift.
