Aussie-Inspired Creations at Brooklyn Boy Bagels

Overview

While you might not eat them too often over the rest of the year, Australian summer is the best time to break out classic local dishes like barramundi and pavlova. Yet if you're looking for a patriotic treat of a different kind, perhaps what Marrickville's Brooklyn Boy Bagels is serving up will scratch that itch. Available until January 31, three limited-edition, Aussie-inspired creations are up for grabs. 

Chocoholics will almost certainly find their Tim Tam cream cheese ($11) irresistible, with crushed-up biscuits mixed through a sweet spread to form a crunchy cheesecake filling. Lather it on a cinnamon raisin bagel or simply attack it with a spoon – we won't judge. 

Next on the agenda is pavlova cream cheese ($11), where a rich spread has been topped with crumbled meringue and seasonal fruit compote. One bite and you'll be reminiscing about the cake your nanna whips up for special occasions. 

If you're in more of a savoury mood, the VBLAT ($20) is your best option. Stacked atop an extra-crusty tiger bagel, black forest bacon, butter lettuce, vine-ripened tomatoes and avocado are finished with the perfect amount of Vegemite. Head to Brooklyn Boy Bagels to give these bonza creations a taste.
