The best kind breads and then some more goodies...We walk in for a loaf of bread and walk out happily with half the bakery. The orange raisin bread in particular is an all time favourite - perfect for bread pudding. This cozy working bakery and its staff (who recognise the regulars and their orders) is always welcoming with a wholesome vibe.

My usual place to have cappuccino and grilled chicken salad. Have tried many items from this place. They have freshly baked breads. Complete hygienic place. Service is good , but they take pretty long preparation time. I usually spend time there to feel the serenity.

To one of the best bakeries in the city.
What I had :
1) Tuna salad
2) Chocolate and caramel babika(a must try)
3) Cupcake
4) Victoria cake (a must try)
5) Caramel fudge brownie (a must try)
6) Margherita pizza (a must try)
7) Coconut bun
8) Mushroom and feta cheese pizza (a must try)
This bakery has a vast and wonderful variety of delicacies. To be honest it was hard to choose from.
All the items I tried were really good.
The cakes and the breads here are amazing. The salads were refreshing too!! And there are a wide variety of drinks like raw pressed juices and even some of their own to accompany your food.
A bakery totally worth trying.

One of the best places in town to get a regular loaf of bread, or a quick cuppa coffee or a vanilla muffin. Their pastry is excellent, as are the three cheese and paneer puffs. Oh, and not to forget their absolutely delightful croissants, hot and fresh and cheesy. We've made a habit of getting all our baker needs from this good old baker.

My mom has never been a fan of baked goodies as far as I've known, and she ended up loving everything I ordered at OMBC. It's that good!

Ambience: I like the Alwarpet branch the best though the Nungambakkam branch is spacious. The wooden interiors, metal chairs and the smell of freshly baked loaves are welcoming!

Service: The service is quick and they are very friendly!

Food: Their Blueberry Danish and Parisian Croissant are must-haves. All their pastries are light, buttery, fluffy and oh-so-delicious! I've had the luck to grab some Profiteroles while they were still there, and they were the best Profiteroles I've ever had in Chennai.
Their Custard Bun and Custard Danish were pretty good too. For all the chocolate fans out there, they serve Nutella Brioche and Pain au Chocolat, generously loaded with chocolate.

If you have a liking for bakery pizzas, try their Smoked Chicken pizza. The pizza is sparse on chicken but it's loaded with cheese. The Grilled Chicken Melt sandwich and Garlic Toast were yum!

Brownie points for the awesome filter coffee that was served in the cutest tumbler.

Craving for a plain sour bread walked into this place. Ah! The aroma as soon as you enter, get ready to indulge at once! They are all fresh and man, the varieties; I can go on and on about this place!! :D Most of them were sold out cause we went close to the closing time. Their custard Danish pastry takes you to a whole new world! Carrot cake was spot on! Focaccia bread was good but I’ve had better ones. Gotta try the rest.

Literally the best cookies I have ever eaten. Chocolate chip and double chocolate anyway. I can't speak to the oatmeal raisin. The sourdough bread (and especially potato rosemary sourdough bread) are excellent too. As with all bakeries, the goods are better the earlier in the day you go.

Hands down one of the best bakers in town! Just walking down TTK road, you get an amazingly tantalising smell of freshlt baked bread, everyday thanks to these guys! And when you walk in, its so totally worth it! Their selection of breads is amazing, each one yummier than the next but I have a few favourites. If you enjoy a cup of tea, then you need to buy their tea cakes - They are just out of this world. And of course their cookies - an example of what an ideal cookie should taste like. A must must visit!

Craving bagels in the city of idlis and sambar? OMBC as it is referred to popularly, stays true to its name and offers all sorts of baked goods. Right from sandwich breads to your Parisian baguettes you are definitely spoiled for choice here. They have eggless versions of many popular pastries like Danish pastries and pain au chocolat. While you are waiting for your order to be packed do try their toasties and grilled sandwiches. Especially the 3 cheese melt! Ooey, gooey and a perfectly crisp crust. Any cheese lovers dream!

Privileged to have travelled the world and experienced some of the most scintillating food, and I can positively affirm these to be by far the BEST pain au chocolat (chocolate croissants) Ive had till date, anywhere (Alwarpet outlet).. experience heaven in these!!! The quality of chocolate is pristine and the puff pastry simply melts. Their custard danishes and madras coffee are equally gorgeous. They win you with the very first impression: the smell of freshly baked bread (and the variety is immense), wooden European interiors and a lit furnace and staff doing the job. A beautiful morning starts with the Old Madras Baking Company. Youve won a regular when in town!! Lovely staff, fabulous music, locations are several and the pricing is simply perfect.

After dinner a restaurant nearby we happened to cross by this place and we thought of just going inside to just take a peak. The fresh aroma of bread made us sit there and order something for dessert. We ordered their carrot cake and it was fantastic. A layering of cinnamon powder on the top made the cake even better. I completely fell in love with the cake and finished the whole loaf for myself. I liked it so much that I got one packed for my roomies and had half of that as well once I reached home.

Overall review.

Very smart and simple set up, limited selection of items which are of high quality and this is a bakery that'll pull you in repeatedly.

When I was working in Hyderabad and I'd asked my manager what she wanted from Chennai, she asked for the banana bread and carrot cake from OMBC without a second thought.
Though I had been aware of OMBC since it started, that was my context to step in to the store.

After purchasing the two for her, I decided to get the chocolate chip cake for myself. After that, there was no going back.
I have been a frequent visitor to this place ever since.

The chocolate used in the Tiny Chocolate cake is rich and heavenly. That one secret ingredient will get the crowds flowing into this bakery.
The cake tastes best when heated in the oven for 30 seconds. It tends to get the moisture back.
The carrot cake, with a tinge of cinnamon flavor and the Banana bread, their bestseller, are great too.

In one of my visits, I got to try the Old fashioned chocolate cake, only because the chocolate chip wasn't available, and they use the same chocolate in this cake as well so it couldn't go wrong.

The three cheese melt is one of my latest favourites here. It's made with foccasia bread and the texture of the bread after it's toasted with cheese loaded into the sandwich is out of the world. I initially decided to only take a bite when my friend ordered, but once I tasted it, I just couldn't stop myself from eating half the sandwich.

Most, if not all the items are conducive for take away.
The cakes last 3-4 days without any change in texture.
They also seemed to have nice salad options. The service is very good and they have one table with multiple chairs to dine on.
The price is optimal for the quality of the ingredients used and the location can't get better.

This place is a great idea and has been very smartly executed.
No doubt, it's one of the best in its segment. Don't miss out!

One of the best places to buy baked items. Their Crossaints and Danish Pastries are delightful. All of them are always made fresh each day at their own place. So freshness is guaranteed. Their assortment of sandwiches and range of bread are also amazing. A careful selection of products made by premium brands to go with their own homemade items completes the experience. Highly recommended.

My most favorite bakery in the city. Have been here countless times. Never failed to impress. Have tried almost all their pastries, freshly baked breads and sandwiches.

These guys are awesome when it comes to pastries. But they only have a few varieties of pastries which is sad.😔

As far as the ambience is concerned, its a 3.5/5 because if there are 10 people visiting at the same time there's no room for them to get seated. Otherwise everything is fine.

They are a baking company but they do provide some quick bites like sandwiches,etc at their Nungambakkam outlet. But here at the alwarpet outlet they have restricted themselves to pastries. I tried their so called "Cinnabomb" and the "blueberry danish" which were very good. Specially try their "Cinmabomb". I would rate them a 4/5.

VFM - 3.5( the price is high thats what i felt for quantity you receive - my thought)

After reading many good reviews, decided to check out this place on a pleasant rainy day. The aroma of a bakery is special ....!!! after tasting some of their products, i realized how poor the quality of large scale breads are :( 
A must-try bakery. blueberry danish and banana bread are simply fabulous. The chicken puff has such a unique-tasting filling!! the Baguette was fresh and crunchy, followed their freeze tip!!

On way back home amidst the drizzle plus the hunger made me stop at this cool little place. It was the wooden decor which pulled me in first. Then it was the smell of freshly baked bread. Yumm!!! I was initially confused on options as everything looked and smelled fresh. I ordered the Danish custard , custard bun , banana bread and tuna sandwich. I am a big fan of custard buns or puffs.. so when I found them here it was nostalgia ... I found the quantity of custard a little less than what I am used to in a bun. But it was worth the money spent . Will check in again for sure.

The Old Madras Baking Company - Alwarpet

Went into get something to munch for the evening. Got 3 Blueberry Danish and 2 Jalapeno bagel.

The bagel was OK with good chunks of jalapeno. Was a little chewy however was good to dip into a mushroom soup.

The Blueberry Danish was excellent. Yummy Blueberry jam in the middle of the Danish which was crispy on the outside and juicy inside.

Total bill of Rs 310. The Blueberry Danish is a must try.

Well have heard a lot about this place and wanted to see what its got. So i visited late on a week day to find that most of the dishes were sold out already. And the place has seating for about 10 people but has this excellent wooden decor which gives a good feel. Other than cakes, wraps, sandwiches, croissants etc. They also have a variety of breads, cheese, lots of jam, and other such stuffs that make us want to taste them. So it's definitely a place where u can get ur evening snacks as well as other bakery cravings.
The service is also very good and you would definitely have to visit this place early in the evenings.

I reached home to find goodies from this place!
1) lava cake- the best gluten free cake ever! Tasted so perfect with the melted chocolate in the center.
2) banana bread- this is the best so far! Couldn't stop eating! Honestly
3) multigrain bread loaf- a family of 4 finished it in a day! So soft and delicious, I could literally see the difference between the breads we buy at stores and this!
4) mozzarella cheese- the first every cheese my family has finished within a single week! Just melts in the mouth!
5) the blueberry cake- kind of din like the buttercream, but tasted good on the whole!

I am going to stop eating out and buy ingredients to cook from this place! Whoever came up with this concept, KUDOS! We love it 😍

If you are lucky you get to see all the variations of stuff made in here.. they sell out very fast..
I wanted to try their Red velvet Donut and Nutella Brioche both were sold out.. we were at the shop by 4pm..
We tried cinnamon bomb ( which is basically a small roll) and blue berry danish both were outstanding.. this is the only place where cinnamon rolls is made just the way it is.. and just out from the oven.. loved every bit of it lip smacking..

Banna cake winner of the day .. you can see the blackish brown shreds of banana fibre running through the cake my 3yr old loved it 

Vannila muffin a let down.. basically falling apart..

There was a little large vanila cake with blueberry and fresh cream filling as i was already full asked for a small piece of tasting , they were kind enough to offer me a small portion.. friendly and professional staff..

Ambience : 3.5 [small place with wooden finish which seats 4-6 people ] more of a take away place

Old Madras Baking Company is a pretty up market bakery and a popular hit especially with the elitists. They have a wonderful array of bakery items which will entice you with all it's lustre. They also have other nice stuff such as cheese, pickles, olives, sandwiches, milk shakes and other condiments.

The ambiance is fairly nice especially with the woodwork sitting acting as an interesting charm. There is just a single big table which you share with other passengers but this is an outlet more ideal to pack your stuff home.

They have a nice fare of baguettes, croissants and pastries. We had a raspberry tart and a cinnamon roll and both of em tasted marvellous. The pinkish color of the raspberry was totally apoealing making us order that and it definitely lived up to it's looks by being great on taste. The cinnamon roll with flour sprayed along was another winner and the sweetened essence of the cinnamon was truly hitting.

The shortened visit was quite appetising indeed. The rates are quite on the northward trend and looks acceptable as it's not your usual run of the mill bakery and their is a class associated with it. There is an aura of neatness and freshness to it. Will surely pick up a few more things perhaps on my next visit here.

The good Ol Bakery.

It's your typical modern Bakery where they have bread being made in front of you. Different types of breads to chose from.

The only issue with this place is the pricing. I understand they want it to be the elite kind of Bake House but if they had reasonable prices they would be seeing a lot many walk ins.

I came in here because I was curious. The bakery has a full wooden decor, and looks elegant in a homely way. The cars that are usually parked out are BMW's, Audi's and the likes. The first time around I ordered for a banana bread, which is something I didn't see in the top menu board but figured they should have. The did and it was yummy buttery goodness that melted in my mouth. The second time I ordered for a Bagel and Cream Cheese - Everything and a Salted Donut with Nutella. Both were a hit and wow, I think I'm gonna be a regular at this place. Really impressed with the food, the décor and the staff.

A little on the expensive side, but I'm willing to pay if it's gonna make me smile. This place does.

The best place ive been in the recent times. 😍 Amazing varieties of breads and confectionery. The one glitch here is that there is only place for 4-6 people to sit at a go.

Their pantry has a wide range of breads, cheese, and other ingredients. The prices are a little high, but should be worth the price.

We had the beagles, a red velvet donut, a feta cheese pizza and a few yoghurts. The feta cheese pizza was the best. Felt like eating more of it.

Overall a very decent place for a quick snack.

Price- a bit high for a cafe.
We had bluberry danish pastry and a feta pizza. Pastry was lipsmacking.. Buttery full of flavours with sourness of the berries. Feta pizza was a bit bland.

This has been an absolute favourite for over a year.The fact that it is so close to college just makes it's all the more better.The gang always popped in for their to-die Danish custard and the variety of puffs they have.The three cheese and chili puff is a personal favourite! Their cake loaves are divine but a tad too oily.Their deli section also looks delectable.
OMBC will always be a great hangout spot!

Sudden love for pastries! This disorder is making me check bakeries in and around the city.
Today it is "old madras baking company"
Very own of TTK road, OMBC is not easy to miss!
As I entered, the smell of fresh bread hit me so hard that I stood there literally taking some breath in! The interior- woody, classy, well done for a bakery!

My take away!
#danish custard and Danish nutella- good. Crispy buns that contained appropriate fillings. They were good.
#chicken tart- it looked like a super empty tart that had a spacious centre. Where is the filling? Its only when one takes a bite that one call taste chicken. And it's not quantity rich. Bad!
I wanted to try nutella brioche. Unfortunately, it wasn't available today!
Will come back for it!

Breads and their top notch freshness!
Mediocre prices!

Cheers and happie eating!

😁 small and tasty
Was here for a quick snack.. Hasn't much parking space as it's jus on the main road.. Max. 2 cars!. You'd walk in and start wondering if you could actually dine here. Cuz they only have 1 six seater table in the middle. They have high placed chalk boards reading out their menu of salads and sandwiches and some desert too. A separate table holding sweet goodies and croissants , another opp it serving you d meat to buy.. Not the regular ones you'd find anywhere-,it has different kinds of sausages ,. Bacon, salami and so on. Also another rack with sause. We had a sandwich with cheese and ham. Boy was it yum,!!, ,2 croissants -,buttery and hot and one nutella dessert.. Didn't Have much nutella though.. On the whole -was quite pricey ...but also great tasting good. Give it a try👍

Visited this place recently. Its one of the famous eateries in TTk road. The parking was bit of a problem,they have a very small space. The interiors looked subtle, mostly wood work. The seatings were very limited.

They have an intriguing display of baked products ranging from breads, cakes, doughnuts, puff, muffins etc. I just had a roasted mushroom sandwich and a red velvet doughnut. We get to choose the type of bread for the sandwich, they had focaccia,  garlic, and panini. The sandwich tasted great, it had abundant pieces of mushroom in it, especially our option of garlic bread kind of accentuated the taste a bit more. The doughnut was enjoyable, nothing unique though.

They also had a lot of other products like bottled pickles, root beer, cheese varieties etc.

 The Bill was around 340INR, totally worth it.

Location & Parking: On the lanes of TTK road, it shouldn’t be hard to spot the place and you shall rest your vehicle before the outlet.

Ambience: I love the wooden work and the simplicity.

Taste & Variety: They go simple and crisp when it comes to variety, it’s their for which I mostly end-up. I took a take away, the order was Baguettes, Danish Custard and Parisian Croissant. Loved the freshness of the breads; everything was a delight. The croissant were soft and baked to perfection. If freshness is what you’re looking for then this place should do some justice.

Quality & Quantity: The freshness quotient makes the quality outstanding. Each bread differs in size and they shall feed one or more well-enough.

Service: It is self-service and no complaints there.

Price: The bill for the above three items is Rs.225 INR. Its definitely on a higher side and anything that is fresh does come for the same price across the town; this makes it not a place to dine frequently.

Old Madras Baking Company, is one place I would head for different bread varieties and for their freshness.

A wonderful aroma greeted me as I entered old Madras baking company. I had already high expectations as soon as I entered, and the food lived up to the taste. The bread has a distinct taste of its own, and it was a delight to eat the the oven baked bread. The desserts and sandwiches were pretty good as well.

First time to this awesome baking heaven after hearing so many good reviews. Ordered a chicken makhani sandwich for myself and roasted beef sandwich for my brother. They provide with choices of bread. Chose focaccia for both the sandwiches. Too around 10 mins for the sandwich to come.

And OMG!! The chicken makhani sandwich was the best sandwich I've tasted in all my life. I don't eat beef so I really didn't get to taste the roasted beef sandwich. But the brother said it was good. He tasted the chicken sandwich and approved that it was better than the roasted beef ;)
The sandwich was perfect grilled with a lot of filling inside. The best I've ever had. Will definitely be back. ^_^

Place has a wonderful atmosphere with yellow lights and wooden interiors, the old times bakery aesthetic was beautifully brought out. The options available were scarce at the time of our visit(on a tuesday evening). Location is not the most convenient to reach by walk, but there is a bus stand just a few feet away from the store. No car parking either. Two wheeler parking available.

If you love the smell of freshly baked bread, this place is akin to heaven! The decor is rustic and beautiful, and the diverse variety of bread, cold cuts, pastries and other baked items showcases their culinary art. I loved their Danish pastry and the Portugese custard pie! Service was top notch. Would definitely recommend for quality bread and baked items. Will surely revisit to try other items on their menu!

Great quality Crossiant, Pastry and Bun. Many other bakery items on offer. Coffee is unncesarily costly and pretty average. Danish pastry was the most delicious one on menu. Danish bun was great as well. Every item is freshly baked and served and you might even find fast moving items out of stock and it may take upto 1.5 hours for the next batch to be ready.

Welcomed by the good aroma of fresh breads , I got Triple cheese sandwich and chicken sandwich. They were fresh and layered up hygienically (We can actually see them making it) . Hot chocolate and coffee were not that great . Not enough parking space . Bit on the pricey side !

After reading many good reviews, decided to check out this place on a pleasant summer day. The aroma of this bakery is awesome. I realised how poor the quality of breads are, after tasting their breads. I would make sure to go to this place again and again and again. The ambiance is fairly nice especially with the woodwork sitting acting as an interesting charm. There is just a single big table but this place is more ideal for takeaways. Ordered butter croissant: They just melted in their mouth. Garlic toast: Immense pleasure while tasting with sauces. Margarita pizza: Too good though it seems very pricey. Banana bread: This was the best so far. Couldn't stop eating honestly Also tried their hot chocolate which was just different from that of others. I just walked home with total satisfaction. Cheers to OMBC!!

A great coffee place in Chennai. Their coffee is great. I guess it's a dark roast. Try the black coffee and the cappuccino. There isn't a lot of place to sit down and enjoy your coffee.
