Cali Turk

Found myself in Bondi today, which doesn’t happen often (TBH, I’m not much of a beach boy—especially not a Bondi one). But since I was here, I figured I had to stop by S’WICH—it’s been way too long.

I went for the Cali Turk, which felt fresh, light, and healthy. The turkey breast was lean and thinly sliced, making it easy to enjoy without feeling too heavy. The fresh tomato added a nice juiciness while the baby cos gave it that crisp, refreshing crunch. The creamy avocado was a highlight, tying everything together with a smooth, buttery texture. And the bread (from Sonoma Bakery) was excellent—soft, fluffy, and the perfect base for a simple, clean sandwich.

While it was tasty, I kept thinking it needed a little sweetness to round it out. Cranberry sauce would’ve been perfect (I’ve been kinda obsessed with it lately), or even their sticky sweet chilli could’ve added a nice contrast. Might have to ask for it next time. Luckily, S’WICH is pretty flexible—they even let you build your own sandwich with S’WICH It Up, so I might just go that route.

That said, this might be my last visit to this location—S’WICH is opening a second branch at Wunderlich Lane (on the Redfern/Surry Hills crossroads), much closer to home. Can’t wait!
