Overview
Since Australia's COVID-19 restrictions started coming into place, everyone's weekend brunch plans have changed significantly. If you're still hankering for cafe-style smashed avo on toast, though, Sydney's Sonoma Bakery is here to help — all thanks to its new 'smashed avo at home' brunch packs.
Teaming up with Australian Avocados, the bakery and cafe chain's packs come with a half-loaf of Sonoma's signature miche bread, two avocados and one small tub of spicy seed mix. You've had smashed avo enough to know what you need to do next — and you can now do just that in your own kitchen.
The packs cost $15, and can be ordered via Bopple, with Sonoma open from 7am–2pm every day over the Easter long weekend. If you spend $20 in total on your order and you live within four kilometres of one of Sonoma's bakeries in Alexandria, Bondi, Leichhardt, Manly, Rose Bay, Waterloo and Woollahra, you can get it delivered for $10, too. Otherwise, you can also head in and pick up your brunch staple.
While we all know what you'll be getting out of Sonoma's 'smashed avo at home' brunch packs (it's right there in the name), your purchase will also help support Aussie avocado farmers. Usually, they'd have no trouble supplying their fruit to the restaurant and cafe industry; however with folks now staying home and eateries only open for takeaway and delivery — if at all — that's definitely not the case at present.
