About Bonfire Bread Avalon
If you're after proper sourdough in Avalon Beach, this is the bakery locals point you towards. Bonfire Bread works from Old Barrenjoey Road and describes itself as an organic bakery, with every loaf slow-fermented for a day or two and made without additives or preservatives. Andrew Austin brings 16 years as a professional baker to the ovens.
Sourdough is the main event. People talk about the plain white sourdough, the olive loaf and the long-fermented "48" loaf, and we hear the baguettes and herb focaccia are just as popular. Croissants and cookies get a regular mention too, along with pies, sausage rolls and spinach and cheese pastries. Lunchtime sandwiches and salad rolls are a draw as well, and the cheese bread and baguette sandwiches have their fans.
It's the kind of bakery that does more than bread. One local had the team turn a favourite cinnamon scroll into a birthday cake, and the carrot cake has gone down well at more than one celebration, so custom cakes are worth asking about. They've also been known to donate focaccia to a local school fundraiser, which tells you something about the place.
Regulars mention the smell of fresh loaves drifting out early in the morning, good value for the quality, and a welcoming team. You can pay by card or phone, takeaway is the way to go, and there's a wheelchair-accessible car park. They're open early most days, but check the hours before heading in.
