World Lamington Day at Tokyo Lamington and ONA Coffee
The sweetest lamington is a free lamington and you can claim yours — or a lamington latte — for one day only, courtesy of one of Sydney's top bakeries.
Overview
If any baked delight deserves a day to be celebrated, it's Australia's national treat, the lamington. And as Sydney's undisputed ambassadors for those delicious chocolate-dipped cubes of sponge cake and jam, the good folks at Tokyo Lamington are the obvious choice to lead those festivities on World Lamington Day.
"[World Lamington Day] is a fantastic opportunity to share our passion for lamingtons with our community and celebrate this special day," said Eddie Stewart, the co-founder of Tokyo Lamington.
On the day in question — Sunday, July 21 — Tokyo Lamington will join forces with ONA Coffee to give away 2000 free lamingtons and 2000 free lamington lattes. What's a lamington latte, you cry? It's a creamy brew made with ONA Coffee's sweet, biscuity maple blend and supercharged with vanilla, raspberry and coconut flavouring, delivering the unmistakable taste of a lamington with all the caffeinated goodness of your morning joe.
Customers will be entitled to either one free OG lamington — Tokyo Lamington's signature bake, filled with raspberry jam and vanilla cream, dipped in a dark chocolate sauce and coated in shredded coconut — or a lamington latte with every purchase at any of the duo's locations. However, it'll pay to be the early bird as this giveaway will be available only while supplies last.
World Lamington Day is not the only thing the Tokyo Lamington crew have to celebrate at present. The innovative bakehouse recently opened their second Sydney outpost which, in addition to their range of lamingtons, is also baking a whole range of baked goods, including quiches, pies, sausage rolls and cakes. You can find Tokyo Lamington & The Bakery at 140 Marrickville Road, Marrickville.
