A Desserty Day Out! Hyderabad's Best Spots For A Holly Jolly Christmas Feast!

Isn’t Christmas best experienced at nights, when the city is lit up and there’s a chill in the air? If you agree with us, then Roast is the place to drool over festival desserts. Open for 24 hours (brownie points for that, pun intended), this place is packed with foodies from every part of the city. The cafe has a huge seating set up with both indoors and outdoors and a library section that will definitely catch your eye. Bang in the middle of comfy chairs is their dessert station which has everything you can think of, right from gelatos, croissants, and breads to artisan choux buns, seasonal fruit delicacies, cheese cakes and chocolate everything (dark, milk and white). Personally, some of the Christmas-y desserts were so good looking with Santas’ on them that we thought twice before digging in. Make your reservations in advance as this is one of the hottest places in the city currently. 

A rustic ambience is something that can never go wrong if you’re looking for a laid-back vibe. And that’s a plus for this bakehouse, tucked inside a peaceful street. Go here with your A team and choose to sit in either an open space surrounded by trees, a cozy nook inside to have the best view of all their desserts or outside where you might boop into a doggo. Yes, it’s a pet-friendly cafe that means you and your furry BFF can enjoy the Christmas spirit. Talking about the festive spirit, this chic cafe has one of the best cinnamon rolls, lamingtons, and a rich triple chocolate mousse cake. They’re also whipping up some X-mas traditionals like rum cakes, so watch out for that when you head to Sobremesa. 

Nestled in the heart of Banjara Hills, this OG dessert hub is unmissable. If a thick, hot chocolate is how you want to start your days this season, look no further than this cozy cafe. After you warm your soul with a hot cuppa, jump to their dessert section for sinful Tiramisu, Dulce Banana, Baklava Croissant and a Chocolate Caramel Verrine. For those of you who love fresh strawberries, bite into their Strawberry Trifle and Strawberry Eclair. If you’re throwing a party, their Russian Medovik Cake or Opera Cake will be a definite showstopper! 

When in Hyderabad, desserts = Concu. That’s just how it goes! 

Boasting a cute ambiance, finding a Concu near you will not be a hassle as it's located in every foodie hub of the city. And why wouldn’t it be, their Chocolate Caramel Sandwich, Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel Tart and Crème Brûlée Berliner are to die for! Take in their Christmas decorations and scan their dessert display to fulfill all your sweet cravings. It’s a specialty bakery that will surely put you in awe with its European-style preparations. Get your festive feasting on with its Signature Christmas Alcohol Cake and Spiced German Bread called Stollen [also contains alcohol]. Bonus, the aroma of freshly brewing coffee will make you stay there for longer, so prep yourself for that. 

Great for a meet up, great to throw a party, this is a place for people with a sweet tooth. The pastel ambience indoors and a fun vibey outdoors is apt for their choicest bakes. Make your reservations and head over to dig into their Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, Christmas-themed pastries, dessert waffles and more! It’s also perfect if you have some work to catch up on while satisfying your festive duties of eating all things yum! We didn’t forget the hot chocolate and so shouldn’t you!

Churros for Christmas might not be typical to us, but we’re certain somewhere in Spain a lovely couple is sitting on their porch, munching on some churros. While there are many desserts for your choosing, we strongly recommend indulging in their Christmas Candy Churros with a fluffy cream cheese frosting. And what’s there to complain about - the service? Impeccable! The ambiance? Classy and festive.

A cute little place for all things dessert, turn your attention to its Christmas specials. What caught our eye? The bite-sized Marzipans of different flavors - Chocolate and Mint, Orange and Cinnamon, Honey and Fig, and the classic Almond with a hint of lemon and vanilla. With adorable frosting on top, it makes up for a great gift or self-indulgence. While you are at it, try their Yule Log Pastry (that’s a soaked gingerbread cake with dark chocolate mousse and honey syrup) and a Chocolate Coasted Gingerbread Man.

It’s not often that you come across a place that serves rich and melt-in-the-mouth Plum Pudding, when you do, it’s Ofen. Tucked away in Banjara Hills, this European dessert joint has a range of Christmas delights, right from a Gingerbread House to Sweet Mince Pie. With different sizes to choose from (looking at you, low-appetite foodies), make a post-dinner trip to this cafe and get your dessert binge on. We also recommend wrapping up your order here with a Swiss Truffle Shake.
