Bombaykery has now opened its third outlet in Saket, sharing their space with Kaffa Cerrado. The maestro behind all the lovely creations, Mitali, has proven she's not just the queen of desserts but savories too, with their expanded savory menu having quiches, pattice, cheese straws and amazing breads, ranging from baguettes to white sandwich bread, whole wheat sandwich bread, brioche, multigrain bread and focaccia. You can also take away jars of White Wine Mustard, fresh basil pesto, sundried tomato pesto, classic hummus and beetroot hummus on the savory side, and salted caramel, dulce de leche and Belgian chocolate sauce among sweet sauces. Each of these sauces and condiments is fresh and packed with flavor.
They have also started a “mini” version of their amazing travel cakes, in all flavors- banana and walnut, marble and lemon curd, dates walnut, almond, vanilla chocolate chip, dense chocolate, and carrot and hazelnut. I tried the banana and walnut, marble and my favorite- lemon curd. Each cake had a great texture and a lovely flavor, and the lemon one had a tangy curd filing in it, which just makes it amazing.
On this visit to the store, I tried out some of their new savory dishes. The Chili Cheese Toast was simply heavenly, and I urge everyone to try it. It had a fresh, crusty multigrain bread slice, topped with loads of melted, gooey cheese that was grilled to get a nice crust, along with red peppers to give a nice spicy kick to the dish.
The Croissant Sandwich had a flaky, buttery and light multigrain croissant, halved and slathered with their house-made fresh, zingy basil pesto, and filled with sundried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, and cottage cheese and was filling and tasty.
Their House Salad has so many varied ingredients that I was a bit skeptical at first, but one bite, and all my doubts went away, since each ingredient gave a nice flavor profile to the salad, and they all worked together well. The salad had salad greens, grilled corn, black beans, cranberries, parmesan, and salad granola (almond flakes, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, amaranth crisps) for crunch, all doused with a tangy passion fruit vinaigrette which just uplifted the dish.
Along with these dishes, we had two drinks- Hot Chocolate and Cappuccino. The coffee was nice and strong, and the hot chocolate was thick, luscious and just adequately sweet.
And since I just couldn’t have ended any visit to Bombaykery without having desserts, I tasted the Sunset, which was a perfect combination of dark chocolate and orange. This delicious creation had a moist chocolate sponge layered with creamy Belgian dark chocolate mousse, orange cream and candied orange peel on a crunchy chocolate base, topped with thick, luscious salted caramel. Their salted caramel is truly amazing, and I’ll surely be taking home a jar of that next time around.
I also had the Berries and Mascarpone Dessert Jar, which had sweet-tangy berries with creamy mascarpone cheese- a match made in heaven.
And of course, I took a whole bunch of goodies packed to take back home. They have a range of croissants available- some classic (such as cheese, chocolate and almond) and some interesting ones like cottage cheese, Bombay masala and cheese, and Thai chicken. I stuck to the classic ones this time around- the cheese and the chocolate, and both were simply amazing- flaky and buttery, and the chocolate one had big chunks of dark chocolate inside it.
The Classic Palmiers were crispy and nicely coated with sugar, and the Paprika Cheese Straws and Cumin cheese Straws were really flaky and flavored well.
Two new additions to their menu which are must-try are their Peanut Butter Cookies and Chocolate Sable. The mini peanut butter cookies are a nice little thing to pop in, and they have a buttery taste, and a mild peanut butter taste. The chocolate sable was perfect- crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and had a nice touch of sea salt, and were simply heavenly.
I also took back some of my all-time favorite desserts from their original menu- Milk Chocolate Belgian Chocolate Fudge, New York Style Baked Blueberry Cheesecake, and Mixed Fruit, Apple and Lemon Tart, which were great as always.
Overall, Bombaykery has been since 2015, my favorite dessert place, and remains so to this date, and with these new savory additions, it has become even better. If you haven’t tried out their stuff yet, you’re really missing something!
