Nanbai Bakery & Dessert Café, tucked away in the charming neighbourhoods of Panjim and Margao, offers a modern and cozy haven for foodies seeking delightful local and global flavours. This café, run by young folks who greet you with a warm welcome and infectious smile, has quickly become a must-visit spot in Goa.
Nanbai's bakery specializes in handmade bread and viennoiserie, creatively blending global bakes with a local twist. Nanbai's stunning handcrafted tarts, patisserie, and desserts strike a perfect balance between richness and sweetness. Coffee enthusiasts will fall in love with their simple, classic coffees made from freshly ground beans sourced from Coorg.
The Dark Mocha, a crowd favourite, is made from a blend of 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta beans, medium roasted by Ainmane coffee roasters in the picturesque town of Madikeri. Their Chorizo Puff is a delightful fusion of viennoiserie and Goan pork sausage, made to order by Vailankanni, a 200-year-old family-run operation in Goa Velha.
Vegan visitors should try their Bahn Mi, a collaboration with Wakao, featuring pickled veggies and a touch of local flair. Their farm-to-table approach ensures fresh ingredients, like brown eggs from neighbouring free-range hens used in their Turkish eggs.
Nanbai is also dedicated to sustainability, with a large compost pit that produces organic manure for their farm. Their locally sourced Wild Garlic Bagel is a vegetarian delight, and their Bread Butter Pudding, repurposed from bread trimmings, exemplifies the wealth-from-waste philosophy.
The café's quiet, cosy ambiance makes it a great spot for relaxation, work, or casual meetups. With excellent value for money, you'll surely leave Nanbai Bakery & Dessert Café with a smile and a full belly.
