Sydney’s bagel lovers, get ready—there’s a giveaway you won’t want to miss.

To celebrate International Day of Happiness, viral sandwich shop Cross Section is teaming up with The Laughing Cow and ABE’s Bagels to hand out 100 free bagels to customers on Thursday, March 20th, from 11am.

The limited-edition ‘Everything You’ll Ever Need Bagel’ is the star of the giveaway, featuring a creamy layer of The Laughing Cow cheese on a toasted natural ABE’s Bagel, topped with smashed avocado, chorizo crumb, chilli oil, and crispy roasted seeds. The recipe was chosen as the winner of a competition launched last month by The Laughing Cow and ABE’s Bagels to discover exciting new flavour combinations using their products.

Leading the charge in selecting the ultimate bagel creation was Justine Schofield, well-known cook, author, and former MasterChef Australia contestant, who judged alongside representatives from The Laughing Cow and ABE’s Bagels.

Since opening last year, Cross Section has been making waves in Sydney’s food scene, with its Chicken Caesar Wrap becoming a viral hit and selling out daily since landing on the menu in October. Now, they’re adding another crowd-pleaser to their lineup—but only for a day.

The giveaway is part of The Laughing Cow’s mission to spread joy and positivity, aligning with the spirit of International Day of Happiness, a global initiative championed by the United Nations to encourage well-being and a positive outlook on life. And what better way to celebrate than with free food?

The first 100 customers to visit Cross Section at 84-90 McLachlan Ave, Darlinghurst, between 11am and 2pm will score a complimentary ‘Everything You’ll Ever Need Bagel’—but once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you’re keen to get your hands on one, set a reminder and get in early.
