The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Apollo Bunder, Mumbai
Rated: Good
Now a 7 out of 10 is not bad - do not get me wrong. The stuff here tastes good, is very presentable, and the overall ambiance is cute (although it is more for take away - no seating anywhere). Tucked at the end of the long hallway La Patisserie. I can not think of a good reason to go here unless you were actually staying at the Taj and were not hungry for an entire meal. That sounds worse than it actually is, but with Theobroma a brisk walk away, it is simply the truth! If you are wandering around the Taj and happen to get a small craving for baked goods, check this place out. It's not bad at all :)

Fountain Akbar Ally, Saint Thomas Cathedral, Opp Lane Kawaji Patel Street, Mumbai
Rated: Good
This irani bakery is charming in its own way - a little rickety and worn down, but it all lends itself to the overall image. The irani chai and bun maska here are fabulous, so do not miss out on that. This is a great choice for a weekend afternoon with friends over some cake, other tempting snacks along with simple hot drinks. Although owners are pleasant, service is not there, but maybe that is to be expected.

Opp National College, Bandra (W), Mumbai
Rated: Excellent
This is the best Barista I have been to. They should not all be different in quality, but the reality is that they are. This one has a nice cappuccino with enough thick foam. It is definitely a hangout spot for National College students, so make sure to figure out the right time to go given your objectives. Good central place in Bandra to meet up...
