Dessert is one of life’s greatest pleasures! Though giving into your sweet tooth may not be good for those love handles you’ve been trying to lose at the gym, let’s admit it–a cheat day does good for the soul! While Mumbai has tons of places that serve some super delectable desserts, today, we’re focusing only on one of the prime areas of the suburbs: Bandra.
If you’re all for the idea of exploring, you’re in for a treat! Here are all the best places to grab some palette satiating saccharine delights…
1. Sweetish House Mafia
Well known for their yummy cookies in flavours ranging from Nutella sea salt to dark chocolate truffle–SHM allows you to try them as they are, or even in the form of a cookie shake or cookie slab (like a cookie cake slice). The quaint ambience and mellow blue walls only add to the overall happiness, and the prices are pretty decent.
2. Theobroma
How can we talk about desserts and not mention Theobroma? Age old in conception, this place is known for the best brownies in the city. If you aren’t really a brownie person, you can try their other desserts such as the red velvet cake and lemon pie.
3. The Boston Cupcakery
The name sure gives it all away! This place offers the best cupcakes, all at a comfortable price point. The little treats will literally melt in your mouth and will leave you craving for more! While the ambience is quite cosy, it’s a good idea to opt for takeaway here, as most of the seating is outside the café – not ideal for the monsoons.
4. La Folie Lab
For hot chocolate lovers, this place is heaven on Earth. They serve arguably one of the best hot chocolate drinks in the city and offer a variety of other delights, including pastries and mind-numbingly good macaroons.
5. Sassy Teaspoon
Another great spot for takeaway, ST is undoubtedly one of the finest places to try out a chocolate croissant or éclair! If you’re in the mood for something light for tea time, go for the Nutella soft-centre cookie. The low prices will leave you stunned!
6. Oh So Stoned!
Ever felt like diving into a mountain of creamy ice cream or swimming in rich luscious chocolate fudge sauce? If so, this is a good bet for you! From fresh fruit flavours to red velvet – there are tons of options to pick from.
7. Candies
If you’re familiar with the Bandra area, you would’ve definitely heard about this place at some point! Candies has been around for decades, with four outlets spread across the suburban location. From yoghurt lemon cake slices to mousse, from creamy pastries to fruit cups – you’re bound to find something that will become your new favourite!
8. Shahi Durbar
India’s first and only dessert chain, this place has been ever popular for their falooda delights and rabdi. If you enjoy Indian sweets, don’t miss this one.
9. Leavessence
Probably the best paan store in India, this place offers a mesmerizing range of the finest betel gourmet (paan desserts) served with a variety of ingredients to suit your mood.
10. Poetry by Love and Cheesecake
The name is self-explanatory. Head there for a cheesecake slice, now!
