bake 'em all
Oodles of carbs and oodles of fat.....be wary of your resistive skills whenever you enter those glass gates to blissdom! A big glass wall divides the patio from the interiors which house their culinary delights.
An eclectic spread of rolls and sandwiches (Rs. 50/-) include the not-to-miss mince lamb roll, half-sin half-healthy (read as half-white half-brown both coalesced to form a single un-joint slice of bread) chicken, paneer, cheese sandwiches, chicken nugget roll, veg kebab roll, colorful burgers and the works (puffs e.t al.).
An assortment of croissants (effectively priced between Rs. 40/- to Rs. 60/-) include chicken croissant, veggie croissant, cheese croissant, butter croissant. Thoroughly infused with butter, extremely soft when heated, yet withholding the well-baked, kinda-burnt' aroma of bread, its this Pièce de résistance that makes me coming back for more and more.
A mind-numbing, palate-satisfying, body-inflating range of pastries (Rs. 70/- onwards) and cakes are housed in a central display. I have fought my restraints to dig into the chocolate cup cake (they showcase it as 70% gooey choc in it), or the chocolate lavasa, each time i visit . The one time I have dared to indulge was the zebra torte (Rs.80/-) infused with oodles of liqueur and perfectly moist which enables the melting-in-the-mouth syndrome. A further variety includes chocolate mocha, chocolate chip muffin (recommended), walnut brownie etc.
Sporting a huge plasma screen, the mezzanine floor caters as the seating area...an alternate way to enjoy a match in contrast to a sports bar.
They do coffees; hot and cold, ice teas and ice-drinks too.
In a city of bakeries, this one has traversed into the high-class zone with ease. A huge glass window showcases the chef and his assistants up to their tasks (which is not exactly a great view considering they use their bare hands...and to think that they have the audacity to portray it to the public is definitely commendable!!). The family that runs the place are hospitable to greet you and bid adieu to known faces.
One minus point though is that they have nothing whatsoever to cater to the 'healthy living' or 'watching their weight' kind of people. 'INDULGE' seems to be their unwritten logo!!
Multiple digs at this place are highly highly recommended.
