If there’s one form of carb that everyone loves, it’s bread. Okay, who are we kidding? Cakes, cookies and cupcakes are pretty darn lovable too. The point is that we love baked goods, especially when they are warm having just been taken out of the oven. So, we decided to make a list of the best bakeries in Mumbai. The next time you crave a baguette, here’s where you need to head to.
1. Macarons At Le15 Patisserie, Multiple Outlets
The Parisian patisserie which is run by Chef Pooja Dhingra who was trained at Le Cordon Bleu makes the best macarons in the city. Besides these bite-sized almond cookies, the cupcakes here are also delish! So, make sure you don’t miss out on those.
Address – Multiple outlets
We recommend – Macarons, ₹75 (Exclusive of taxes)
2. Brownies At Theobroma, Multiple Outlets
Every Mumbaikar worth his salt knows that Theobroma is the go-to place to get the best brownies in the city. Every outlet has one display case entirely dedicated to trays of freshly baked brownies. We particularly love the Overload Brownies which have just the right amount of chocolate in them.

3. Chocolate Squares At Merwans, Multiple Outlets
This cakeshop has to be one of the best bakeries in Mumbai. And I don’t say this lightly because their cakes are always fresh and creamy. What surprises me is how affordable everything over here is. You could walk in with just 10 bucks in your wallet and you can still walk out with a gooey chocolate square which will please your senses. Their Lemon Crackle cake is also refreshingly good.
Address – Multiple outlets
We recommend – Chocolate Squares, ₹10 (Exclusive of taxes)
4. Sea Salt Belgium Dark Chocolate Cake At Vanilla Beans, Bandra
Vanilla Beans is famously known for its cakesickles which are all the rage in the market currently.

This tiny little bakery is a well-kept secret of South Bombay. Word has it that Ratan Tata is a big fan of the flaky and buttery khari here. The secret behind their khari lies in their generous usage of Amul Butter and ghee which they use in huge quantities. Their Batasa is equally good.
