Royal Bakery

Founded circa 1906 – 1920, Royal Bakery is a legend in its own right. Their bakery hasn’t changed much since they started, and is still being run by younger generations of the original founding family. Go for their famous milk breads {trademarked ‘Royal Milk-o-vita’}, broon bread, lighter-than-air glass cakes {tiny tea-cakes made in small glass cylinders}, plum cakes, cream rolls, fan pastry, and the regular bawa biscuits, among other things. Priced at INR 1 for a bun or roll {seriously!}, sweet buns are INR 3, and other bread and pastries can go upto INR 200 each. They have limited stocks – though everything is baked so fresh, it’s still warm when you’re eating it – and run out by 10am, most of the time. After 6pmin the evening, you might not get anything here at all! Their founding philosophy is, “eat little, eat everything” and that is exactly what you need to do here: eat. everything.
