What started as a millennial brunch fad has become about as Australian as Vegemite.
So unless you want to be deported, you better get on to our list of Perth’s best smashed avo breakfasts. Because if loving avo brekkies is wrong, I don’t want to be ripe.
- The cafe crew at Arrival Hall do a mighty fine smashed avo with guacamole, tomato, bocconcini, basil, onions, macadamia and roast veges on Miller and Baker sourdough.
- The avocado toast at Chu Bakery in Highgate is iconic—avocado, whipped feta, Sriracha chilli sauce and four seed mix on thick cut toast. It’s so freaking tasty I can’t even. You’ll want to sit in Hyde Park across the road to eat it in worthy surroundings.
- If you prefer your smashed avo on top of perfectly fluffy sourdough with a side of beachside views—and feta or tomatoes if you wish—then your best bet is to head to Yelo in Trigg.
- For a generous smashing of avocado lathered on thick cut ciabatta and topped with dukkah, sumac labne, pickled shallots and poached egg hit up The Little Bay, another one of our beachfront faves.
- Smashed avocado and eggs at Hylin in West Leederville. Two poached eggs, smashed avocado and rocket on sourdough. Absolutely delicious.
- Head to Toast in East Perth and order their avocado, pea and mint smash topped with pomegranate salsa, danish feta and reduced balsamic on french peasant toast for a guaranteed good time.
- From the bright, beachy interiors right down to the absolutely delish eats, we love everything about Little h in Duncraig, and their avo on toast is no exception. The ciabatta is perfectly crunchy and it’s topped with blistered tomatoes and generous layers of smashed avo and house made hummus—need we say more?
- For a top-notch smashed avo on the go, drive through Nourish and Feed in Duncraig or Kingsley. For extra fuel, go ahead and add tomato and feta.
- The avo bagel at Myrtle Ivy in West Leederville is almost too beautiful to eat. Topped with microgreens, seeds and colourful flowers, you’re going to want to snap a picture before you dig in.
- Good Things Cafe is serving up a heroic smashed avo on toasted sourdough garnished with peas, mint, pickled red onion, seeds and green chilli, aptly named The Hulk—and they reckon it’s good with a poached egg. We think so too.
- The smashed avocado on sourdough from Bib & Tucker in Freo—with fried feta, heirloom tomatoes and basil—is delicious.
- Pixel Coffee Brewers’ smashed avocado on toast with beetroot puree, cherry tomatoes, Persian feta cheese and free range poached eggs will have you drooling with delight.
- Just one bite of the smashed avo from Daisies in Cottesloe is enough to see why everyone raves about it. The homemade chilli jam, Meredith feta and chilli dukkah will have you hooked, and before you know it you’ll be ordering a second slice.
- The Little Pantry’s smashed avocado on grain toast—with smoked cherry tomatoes, rocket, Danish feta and dukkha—is most definitely gob-worthy.
- For smashed avo with a French twist, make your way to Maison St Honore. Expect light and zingy smashed avocado with peas, mint, sun dried tomatoes, red onions, paprika and goat cheese on tasty French bread.
