Sydneysiders no longer have to fret about getting their hands on cafe-quality smashed avo during lockdown. Thanks to a partnership between Sonoma Bakery and Australian Avocados, you can now get a $15 brunch pack that includes half a loaf of Sonoma’s freshly baked miche sourdough, two avocados and some spicy seed mix to sprinkle on top.
In 2019, Australians consumed more avocados per capita than any other English-speaking country – in fact, Sydney cafe Bills is widely credited with popularising avo on toast. Despite the dish’s popularity, avocado sales have recently dropped, due to cafe closures as a result of coronavirus.
To bolster sales, Australian Avocados (the peak body for the avocado industry) has launched a new campaign to #SmashAnAvoAtHome. By purchasing a brunch pack, you can help save avocados from going to waste; support local farmers, distributors and businesses; and enjoy a cafe-worthy breakfast in your kitchen.

Sonoma is open from 7am to 2pm daily and has locations in Alexandria, Bondi, Leichhardt, Manly, Rose Bay, Waterloo and Woollahra. Get the pack, along with other breads, pantry goods, pastries, sandwiches and coffees via the Bopple app.
