Bread & Chocolate

A Wholesome Pause at Bread & Chocolate

Bread & Chocolate has always had a certain pull — the kind that makes you slow down, take a deep breath, and simply exist for a while. I first visited their original outlet back in 2019, but their new White Town branch has an ease about it that instantly draws you in. Minimalist, sunlit, and quietly stylish, it’s a place that feels as good as it tastes. After my morning dive with Temple Adventures, stopping here for brunch was easily one of my best post-dive decisions — a reward in every sense.

This new location doesn’t just serve good food; it celebrates a way of living. With rooftop dining, a breezy coastal view, and a small organic store downstairs that stocks handcrafted chocolates from Mason & Co. and artisanal condiments from Ishka Farms, there’s as much charm in exploring as there is in eating. Don’t miss their sea salt and capers - they’re small jars of brilliance.

Here's What I Had

Summertime Tartine - Rs 350

The perfect breakfast plate for a slow morning. A toasted slice of sourdough layered with house-made ricotta, roasted sundried tomatoes, tangy pickled onions, and silky poached eggs - each bite balanced the richness of cheese with the brightness of the pesto and microgreens. It’s simple food done beautifully, both vibrant and comforting.

Mad About Mustard - Rs 370

This one’s for the mustard lovers. Thick-cut sourdough sandwiches a grainy mustard filling with farm cheese and pickled onions, paired with a zesty dip and a fresh kimchi salad. The sandwich had a strong, assertive character - bold and tangy - though I did wish for a bit more balance to mellow out the mustard’s dominance. Still, the bread (as always) was top-notch - crisp-edged, airy, and rustic.

Ice Tea - Rs 160

On a sun-heavy afternoon, this was a sip of calm. Light, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweet, it did exactly what it was supposed to - refresh without overpowering.

Subko B&C Cold Brew - Rs 220

If you love coffee that speaks with clarity and depth, this one’s a must. Brewed for 16 hours using Subko Coffee’s beans, it’s rich yet surprisingly smooth, with deep chocolatey undertones and a crisp finish. For someone who first fell in love with Subko’s cold brews in Mumbai, this felt like rediscovering an old favorite in a new home.

Chocolate Tart - Rs 180

Pure indulgence. A delicate gluten-free crust infused with coffee and 75% dark chocolate from Mason & Co., filled with a luscious chocolate ganache and topped with walnuts and cocoa nibs. It’s one of those desserts that demands silence - rich, decadent, and elegant without being overbearing.

Baklava Croissant - Rs 280

Bread & Chocolate’s croissants are already among the best in the region, but this variant was a revelation. Buttery, crisp layers giving way to a heart of nutty, honeyed baklava filling, topped with crushed pistachios. Each bite was a melt-in-your-mouth moment - indulgent, golden, and joyously flaky.
