Very recently, my girlfriend and I were at Theobroma. She summoned the waiters behind the counter who were huddled up discussing something with the store manager. They didn’t respond. She called again and the manager looked at her and then turned back, paying no attention to her whatsoever. I yelled at the top of my lungs and threw down one of the cake boxes on the counter to get their attention. They finally realised their mistake and attended to us. Why did I have to do that to get their attention? Why do I have to raise my blood pressure, my voice, my temper and ruin my mood when I’m out just to have a good time in this city that’s slowly being depleted of good times?

That was the first time I had been there after a very tiresome afternoon. The cafe was fully occupied with not even a seat to spare. The cafe is not so spacious, but thats not the thing we look out for when we are really hungry. I had a look at the shelfs and there were breads, biscuits, chocolates and cakes of every kind. I had my tongue out instantly.
I bought a few chocolate- almond cake and banana cake and some cookies. The taste was simply awesome.
This is one place where you would want to be to start off the night life in Mumbai.

if you're a true cheese cake lover then this place is where you must head.....be it the simple blue berry cheese cake or the spicy vodka and green chili cheese cake, Theobroma whips them awesomely.
Another recomendation would be their short bread....it has the perfect caramel interior...just about rite.....and chocolate dipped biscuits they are crip, chocolaty and expensive!.....yes its true this place has no value for money....a Rs 70 pastry will get over in a jiffy..... before you can count 7!.......
a sweet treat here is will always pleasantly surprise you.......be it the lill brownies ....tht will make you go mmmmmmmmmmmmm........or the pastries.......but their savouries come with a disclaimer.....do not opt for anything stuffed with potatoes...you mite jus throw up! (yay! i did)..........
the ambiance is decent.....small however for you to hang around....poilsh off your plates and you need to walk out.....this place is usually full in the post dinner hours........
so ya thts about it......

I have never before eaten a chocolate dessert like the one they have here named, "Chocolate Silk".
Its been awhile since I've had the chance to go there, I used to be that side of town a lot more often, I guess I had more time to travel and experience the city, friends studying in townside, so there was a lot of motivation to go there.
I was turned to Theobroma by a few of my most trustworthy palate advisors. It took me a while to find it, not expecting it to be so far down Colaba Causeway, once I found it though, it has become a landmark for me.
The first thing I ever tried here was the "Chocolate Silk", being an ardent chocoholic for many a year now, it surprised me how much I enjoyed it. Its not that its the BEST chocolate dessert you may EVER have. I hate building something up for someone (especially when it comes to food) only to have that gleam of disappointment in their eye when they take that first bite.
So with a pinch of reservation, I would suggest that anyone who happens to be near Colaba, and has a few minutes to kill, to please head over to that tiny little Cafe named Theobroma, and just try a couple of things they have on offer. If you like chocolate, then take my assurance you wont be disappointed with the "Chocolate Silk", I'm not gonna tell you that it'll change your life, nor am I saying that its worth travelling from Virar to try, but this little eatery has the distinction of being one of those places you wished opened up branches nearer to the suburbs...
