Ever so often, we need a bakery to run to–for last-minute birthday cakes, early-bird birthday cakes, the perfect buns and all other tea-time savoury snacks! While these home bakers are superb, we love our old-school bakeries, too. Here are our top picks across Delhi-NCR to score some yum baked goodies.

Defence Bakery

One of the oldest players in the game (established in 1962), Defence Bakery has many a memory intertwined with it. Defence Bakery has it all—breads, desserts, muffins, plum cakes, cookies, quiches, pizza, kathi rolls, foccacia, hot dogs and hummus. They get major points for their express bread counter. If you’re feeling lazy, you can order yourself some baked goodness, and they’ll have it delivered straight to your doorstep.

Price: INR 45 upwards for a pastry 

Altogether Experimental Cafe

An addition to the Delhi cafe/bakery scene that we love, Altogether Experimental Cafe is an all-girls kitchen with some of the prettiest and most delicious cakes we've had. They've got dark chocolate cakes, vanilla cakes, cheesecakes, and they all look so fancy, well worth the occasion.

Price: INR 190 upwards (approx.)

Bread & More

We remember them fondly as Hot Breads, when that tong meant unlimited donuts, sausage in a bun, croissants and a mean pack of miniature dinner rolls. The name might have changed, but don’t underestimate the power of those tongs. Bread and More has only upped their game, retailing a wide variety of dinner rolls, soup sticks, savoury goods and that good ol’ chocolate-frosted donut, the worthy successor of the Chocolate Whoopie Pie.

Price: INR 250 (approx.)

Maxim's

They’ve really upped the ante over the last few years, and for that, we’re tipping our hats. Head to Maxim's for well-priced desserts and very ornate cakes. They do designer cakes on request, in case all the flounce doesn’t cut it. We’ve been loyalists of their footlong for years and nothing can ever replace that.

Price: INR 150 (approx.)

Elma's

Elma's is a classic, and they seem to have a permanent place in the hearts of the city’s folk. Perhaps because they pioneered the red velvet movement in the city. We love their Victorian Sponge. Their breakfast menu, comprising freshly baked croissants, eggs, pancakes, and the choice of buying freshly baked oatmeal, wheat germ, daliya, ragi, garlic and multi-grain bread, also deserves a special mention.

Price: INR 250 upwards

Binge

We have to give them points for consistency, not just of their velvety Mango Cheesecake but also in terms of performance—rarely have we heard of a soul who wasn’t pleased after a visit to the aptly named Binge. We love the eggless Oreo cake, the dry Apple Upside Down, the Banana Walnut, as well as the savouries like their ready dinner rolls, soup sticks and pizza bases.

Price: INR 100 upwards for a pastry

Whipped

The Kahlua Mousse cake from Whipped is the stuff of birthday legends, but this bakery isn’t a one-trick pony. They do cheesecakes supremely well, so get yourself a slice of their blueberry specifically. If you’re loyal to chocolate, we recommend their Mud Pie.

Price: INR 200 upwards for a cheesecake slice

The Big Chill Cakery

Big Chill can do no wrong and the Cakery is proof. Their display cases are lined with cheesecakes, eclairs, brownies, cakes and cookies, and it looks exactly like our happy place. We’re partial to their ginormous Chocolate Fudge cake with buttercream frosting and the Iced Lemon cookies.

Price: INR 300 upwards (approx.)

The Artful Baker

From cruffins to dry cakes and fresh breads, they've got some extremely delicious stuff. We say you give it a try, and while you're placing your order, don't forget to get their sesame burger buns. Light, airy, and so, so good!

Price: INR 200 upwards (approx.)

Sugarama Patisserie

Sugarama has a bunch of cakes we've loved over the years, especially their Ferrero Rocher cake, mango cake and the chocolate raspberry dome cake. They also do hampers that are perfect for gifting, featuring desserts like macarons, brownies and truffles, where you can customise exactly what you want.

Price: INR 200 upwards (approx.)

Pearl Boutique Bakery

While they have some good options to choose from on their menu, what they really do best is their customised cakes. You can go as fancy as you wish with the design or flavour and they'll do it for you. Not getting a whole cake? We love their ice cream sandwiches too!

Price: INR 285 (approx.)

Theobroma

When we think we want brownies, we immediately think of Theobroma. They do assorted brownie boxes that are perfect for gifting (or for sampling yourself) but they also have whole cakes available, which we've liked but maybe not as much as the brownies. We recommend the Dutch Truffle Cake or Red Velvet if you're ordering a cake, and the Overload Brownie if you want just one.

Price: INR 85 upwards for brownies

Wenger's

A classic that we keep going back to, despite the crazy lines and sold out items, Wenger's is one of our favourites in CP. We love their pastries and cookies and even their cakes never disappoint because they always make us feel nostalgic. We recommend their eclairs and waffles, and stick to the classic butterscotch or chocolate cake if you're celebrating.

Price: INR 200 upwards for cakes

Nik Baker's

Nik Baker's desserts taste like comfort food to us; from their cookies to tarts, we know if our sweet tooth has a craving, it can be fixed here. Their dessert options have a huge variety, so even if you're picky, you have plenty to choose from. We recommend the KitKat Cream Cake, Fresh Fruit Cream Cake or NY Cheesecake.

Price: INR 205 upwards for cake slices

Miam

Miam offers a variety of decadent, extravagant desserts. I've personally tried their cheesecake, and Oh My God! (in Monica's voice). Give their yule log a try, layered with vanilla mousse, strawberries, orange crumble, and custard—mouth-watering.

Price: INR 1,500 onwards for cakes

Theos

A heavenly place for all things sweet! Enjoy the festivities at this premium bakery chain that offers delicious cakes and macrons. You can either order or check them out across multiple locations.

Price: INR 825 onwards for cakes

Sibang Bakery

A favourite, Sibang is a Korean bakery in Gurgaon that offers freshly baked breads, croissants as well as cakes and desserts! We’ve heard the cheesecake is delicious.

Price: INR 350 onwards for cakes

Angels In My Kitchen

They have a wide variety of cakes, pastries, rolls and puffs, which taste incredible. Drop here for a quick bite or order for any occasion from the comfort of your home, one’s sure to be satisfied.

Honey & Dough

This breezy bakery is making waves not just for their finest French baked delicacies, desserts and high tea dishes, but also for their amazing price points. If you’re more of a chocolate person, then do try their Chocolate & Nutella cake and their Oreo Chocolate cake with a crunchy Oreo base. You can even get a customised Piñata Cake here, too!

Price: INR 315 onwards for cakes

BreadTalk

While the name suggests that it’s all about bread, it’s actually so much more. You enter the store to the scent of fresh bakes, and can enjoy dry cakes, pastries, sandwiches and cakes that will take your breath away.

Price: INR 150 onwards for cakes

Bisque

A very cosy, laidback cafe/bakery, it's always crowded and is delivering cakes and bakes across Gurgaon! Bisque is an awesome place to get any type of cake. They’re all freshly baked and I’ve personally tried their decadent chocolate truffle cake.

Price: INR 275 onwards for cakes

Tuileries Patisserie

A cloud kitchen currently, Tuileries Patisserie is the brainchild of Chef Kamal, who is classically trained in French pastry, she has completed her Diploma in Pâtisserie from Le Cordon Bleu, Paris. She specializes in making flavoursome cakes, bread, macarons, chocolate bonbons and savouries.

Price: INR 1,100 onwards for cakes

Laduree

Known for everything sweet, Laduree comes in from the chic streets of sweet Paris! They have the finest macaroons (13 flavours!), chocolates, pastries and what not. There’s a high tea menu too, with sandwiches and avocado toast.

Price: INR 895 onwards for cakes

Monique Patisserie

Desserts are wholesome, nostalgic and soul saving and there is no second thoughts about that. Monique Patisserie in Chattarpur brings back the aromatic aroma of the French countryside to Delhi to satisfy your sweet-tooth. Open for delivery and takeaways from 8 AM to 8 PM, this Parisian patisserie brings to you authentic heirloom recipes handed down through generations to the refined Indian palate.

Price: INR 400

Savorworks Roasters

A match made in heaven—chocolate and coffee. And this heaven exists in Chhatarpur, known as Savorwork Roasters. It's India's first bean-to-bar and bean-to-cup under the same roof. That essentially means everything is done in-house, from roasting the beans to the end product.

Price: INR 600 for two

Colocal

Not sure how any of us could go to a chocolate factory/cafe and expect anything less than an incredible sugar rush. From a menu dedicated to savoury, their sweets are literally worth all the calories from handcrafted chocolates to a sweet bakery selection.

Price: INR 500 (approximately)

Paul

If you're looking for a place to enjoy an authentic European breakfast, then we recommend you check out Paul Bakery in Gurgaon. Popularly known for their breakfast and savoury dishes, they also do amazing desserts.

Price: INR 1,800 for two
