This place is a legacy...not to miss! If you like cakes especially chocolate , do not think more! You won’t find a better chocolate cake in Pune!
If choclate cakes had a heaven this would be that place. In the world of innovative and great tasting cakes, cake and counter has stood the sands of time.
You guys have the best icing cake EVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Extremely simple place..... Devoid of any fancy paper plates and tissue and plastic spoons as they serve you in a melamine plate with steel forks... No refrigerated displays to cool the cakes... No fancy cakes built with gems and perks and chocolate sprinkles... Just a plain chocolate cake... But wow!!... The cake is extremely fresh as the fork glides through it and the first bite makes you realise why this place has the rating that it has!... Not at all sugary like its other counterparts the cake was exactly how a chocolate cake should be!... Loved it
Best Chocolate cake in the world
Just one word for this cakes shop WOW.... this place is like zabardast... Chota bomb... Just tooo good... Chcolate cakes are just yummmmmmmm... D best in town...
You will never find any cake better than the cakes at cake n counter. It's been one of my favourite places since I was a child. I make sure all of my birthday and celebratory cakes are always from here. One bite and you'll feel like heaven is dancing on your taste buds.
You cannot have cake anywhere else once you have it here. The cake is sooo good ! No other place could give them a competition. The icing is buttery and not like the usual cakes. Hands down the best place in whole of pune for cakes.
The best cake available in the city for sure! Love the fact that they haven't changed the taste through the year's it's been around for a couple of decades. Think of a Chocolate walnut cake and get one from CnC!
The cakes here are heavenly! I have never had such a decadent chocolate cake ever anywhere else. Been having the chocolate cake from here since my first birthday and I can still never get enough of it.
Best chocolate cakes in Pune, while the menu is limited but whatever you get is lipsmacking!, You not find a better chocolate walnut cake anywhere.
The best chocolate i have ever had! I have been to so many places and therefore i can say that this place's sponge chocolate cake is the best 🤤🤤🤤
One of the best chocolate cakes I’ve had. Friend got this from Pune to Bangalore and the cake was yumm and fresh even after 2 days! The chocolate icing is really good.
I discovered this place some 10 years back and inspite of me staying in Kondhwa with many other good bakeries in vicinity every year on my birthday I just have to get their black forest cake. The cake with its heavy rum essence and just the right amount of sweetness is just phenomenal. I am pretty sure the rest of the stuff is just as good but I have just stuck to this one. Run by an old cute couple the shop timings can be a little odd so best to call up and co-ordinate.
The bestest place to order a chocolate cake. You won’t find a better one in the entire world and i mean quite literally. A must visit for Punekars.

Super rich cakes and pastries will be a single line feedback for this place, it is not that rich in interiors but definitely good in taste. Even the shape of fork is in a way that it acts as a fork and knife at same time.
Amazing taste and Unc and aunt has been so kind and loving since years. The best cake ever had . Each and every birthday or any occasions we order it.
Super place with awesome cakes. The cakes here r very different from all other places and they r damn tasty. I.believe they r made with love by the sweet couple who own the place. Have been their. customer from many years. And the taste and quality have always been awesome.
This is one of the oldest standing cake shops in camp. They serve quality and happiness through every cake. Their chocolate walnut cake is so delicious and decadent. The prize winner however, is the pineapple chiffon cake. I happen to be a chocolate lover but even then the pineapple chiffon cake wins. It literally tastes like chiffon and is a must try (they do not serve this variant as a pastry, sadly).
Best cake ever.
No occasion is ever conplete without cutting a cake that comes from Cake n Counter.
The nostalgic feel of the place can beat any upcoming patisserie anyday.
Limited menu, Unlimited pleasure. The best cakes I've had, ever, anywhere in the world.
Some of the best compliments require very few words. But zomato doesn't believe that so I am extending the length of this review with this rant on the app.
#LatePost Some days back someone had posted a review about this place.. Luckily had some work on the same street so thought of trying it.. I'd like to thank the previous reviewer.. Cos of her had an amazing pure chocolate cake.. And it tasted heavenly with vanilla ice-cream 😇
Place : Cake n Counter, Camp!
Cost : 380 for half kgs
Unfortunately don't remember the exact name of the cake!
A legendary bakery in Pune selling the best cakes and pastries. They have mastered it and can't go wrong. Limited options, but the best. It's just by default for us to order the black forest cake for any birthday in the family. You got to order 1 day before.
Keep up the yummy work!
I'm usually a chocolate person, but my sisters bought me a pineapple chiffon cake. This is by far the best pineapple cake I've ever had. True to its name, this cake feels like chiffon when you eat it. Light, airy cream, and not too sweet. It's the perfect birthday cake for any celebration
We used to go bonkers about this place. A serendipitous find of my friend, this place is located in the by-lane joining mg road to east street, adjacent to shamun's the flower shop and near oceania the music store.
Owned by an eccentric and yet kindly couple, this place maintained its quirky hours. It would open in the noon with a limited supply of pastries and cakes and would shut shop by around four. You would consider yourself lucky if you could lay your hands on their fabled cakes.
The chocolate walnut cake used to be my favorite - never before have I tasted such heavenly stuff and never will I ever! Period. The other one is Black forest.
I wish the couple my best wishes now and forever! And after all these years appreciate the fact that they have lived life according to their own terms...
Best chocolate cake for chocolate lovers!go for chocolate with walnuts..it's yumm:))) walnuts are crispy n the chocolate cream!!they don't provide any candles for birthday or balloons..only cakes and pastries and it's worth for!!
There is a saying when u are good at something don't do it for free charge ur
Goodness
Chocolate walnut cake just lipsmacking
Awesome cake
Right amount of sweetness everything Just perfect
Cheers to cake and counter
If you're craving cakes 🍰 - chocolatey rich, or some walnut-topped kind, or the coffee icing kind, then Cake n Counter it is! And has been for years and years ... The baked wonders are the star of every party, be it a birthday, anniversary or every other special occasion. Their cakes are always fresh, unlike other places that are trying to palm off their older cakes first, which could be a big disappointment.
I must add, Cake N Counter, a true DELIGHT!
Love for cake-n-counter! The pineapple chiffon and the chocolate cake with chocolate icing are to die for and a must at every birthday! The pineapple chiffon is a classic which is light and fluffy while the chocolate is decadent and delicious! Cakes that brings back all your happy childhood memory :)
I have been a devoted chocolate cake lover till date and do not miss out on opportunities to sneak few bites. This place is located right next to 1000 oaks.
Most recommended - chocolate cake with chocolate icing and walnuts. Chocolate cake with fresh cream.
The Pineapple Cake here is by far, hands down the best fresh cream cake I have ever eaten in my life. Its light, spongy and delightfully tasty. I have actually finished an entire 1/2 kg cake on my own in one sitting! The Chocolate Walnut cake is also worth a notable mention, though it is a bit dark and thus depends on your taste. If you are ever in Pune, this is one of the Must Go places.
One of the best chocolate cakes anywhere. Have been having their cakes for almost 25 years now and taste has not changed. High quality cakes consistently. Highly recommend this place.
My Childhood memories are filled with cakes from the best cake shop in the camp area - Cake n counter. The chocolate cake with walnuts and seedless cherries for garnishing :-) yum. Still remember the taste. The chocolate cake is always fresh, moist and dense - none of the cheap cream is used in the cake. They have the best egg chocolate cakes in Pune. And the best part is I've been having their cakes since almost 20 years now and the quality and taste has been maintained :-) kudos to them!
Mind blowing cakes. Have been going to this place specially from Mumbai just for the cakes. The best in the world. God knows how they make it. Keep it up
Cake N Counter takes me straight back to my childhood in a particularly nostalgic and reminiscent way. The first cake I can ever remember eating was their Sponge Cake with Chocolate Icing and Walnuts and I still go back to indulge in a slice every now and then. The quality and taste has remained exactly the same. One of the few places in Poona that still retains its old charm.
Cake n Counter is one of those places that gets me nostalgic about how Pune used to be in the 90s
Been enjoying their cakes since my childhood days. Their quality hasn't changed one bit over the years.
Even though they have unusual operating hours and are usually closed when you need them the most, its bliss when you manage to get a cake from them.
Try their Chocolate Cake, I guarantee you'll never even look at a Monginis again.
Went for their highly appreciated walnut cake which I got it without any special order the same day.
Chocolate quality - mind blowing (I would easily dairy milk sucks after just gulping a finger tip of its chocolate.. I know the comparison sounds out of place but I hope you understand the point I'm trying to highlight)
Bake quality - only the real specialists can make it (monginis, WA Bakers n likes are all looking amateurs now)
Go for it anytime.. I wish I have more bday s in my home to try all of their cakes very soon ... Lol :)
I have been eating their choco-walnut since childhood....same amazing taste...perfect blend of bitterness of coco & sweetness of sugar....perfect!....
An good shop with great taste if you like dark chocolate...their Choclate walnut is a never miss cake....must try..it is good to order in advance if you have a occasion to avoid disappointment, as their cakes get over soon....

chocolate walnut cake is to die for.
Yummiest and creamiest chocolate just oozes from each bite.
Small shop in camp,run by family.
Do visit the place and enjoy the sinful pastries
It's cake n counter. 'Nuff said!
Brownie points for how the place smells! Oh God! * goes weak in the knees, drools onto the floor*
P.S. The butter sponge pastry is yum!
If you're a first timer, try the chocolate walnut cake.
This is a one the legendary place Cake shops in Pune Camp area...The quality & taste of cake is just mind blowing...Highly Recommended for all Cake lovers...
The cakes here simply AWESOME! The chocolate cake and pineapple cake are my personal favorites. The coffee cake is OK but if you are a fan of coffee, you wouldn't complain. The prices are reasonable compared to other cake shops. The cake size is enough to serve a big group.
Love this place! Cheers!👍
Hands down the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten, and I don't impress too easily when it comes to confectionary (or any other food for that matter). It is delicious, dark, soft, decadent and most importanly, not too sweet. It's just right! My folks would get it as birthday cake when i was a child. It has ever since been a favourite. It's quality has been maintained exceptionally for all these years. No other bakery or cake shop comes close to Cake N Counter. The man who runs it is really cheerful, too! :) Well done. Two thumbs up.
Chocolaty tasty sumptuous deliciously dreamy and Sinful...good place to buy a cake..in pune
Only suggestion wld be to the owners to serve take away cutlery so as the people can dig into their treats... Right away :)
OLD IS GOLD!! Awesome cakes. The chocolate cakes are SINFULLY gwood.. Forget your diet if u are heading here. Its simply awesome if had chilled or if u decide to warm it till its perfectly mushy in the microwave..I am drooling right now. :p
Cakes are of awesome quality.. Love cake n counter!
Only drawback is no eggless cakes for our vegetarian friends..
The oldest cake shop in pune and the best! It's best seller chocolate walnut cake. This cake has a distinctive taste in the sponge as well as in the icing! It's different and not comparable to any other cake shops in pune. Period! It's worth every penny and satiates all your sugar cravings.
At one point in Pune, we only had a choice between Bakers Basket and Cake & Counter. Cake and counter has been the same over the last 30 years we ve been visiting, same owners, same location, even the same interiors. If you have been in Pune all your life, a visit to cake and counter brings back memories. The thick layer of chocolate, and the sponge. Back in the day, this was the only cake you could buy and carry it out of town if you were from a place like panchgani or lonavala. I swear their quality and taste has nt changed, and I am so happy for that. You have to try this place, and go there without any expectations. The first bite will transport you to another place, a finer place.....They have been giving the samething to generations of Punekars, and I hope many more generations get to taste this bit of history...
You will get the BEST and I mean it the BEST chocolate cake here. It is a small simple place, operated by a really sweet elderly couple. They make just a few so you need to be on time. The pineapple cake is great too. Very sinful and heavy and you will surely keep coming back.
Want to try one of the BEST chocolate cakes?
Then this is the place to be.
I warn you that this is not a very easy to find place.
I always had someone delivered the cakes to me..
but man... what a taste... Perfectly moist, not too dry, just the perfect amount of sweetness...
Please do not miss their Black forest
Heard frm some one who lives in pune since many years dt dis is d only place where i will get best chocolate n black forest cake in pune. Their chocolate cake is just awsome. Muaah. Its a must visit place
Very old patisserie. The taste is the same from day 1. The chocolate cake is all time fav. But I like the pineapple here its unique unlike choc which you get everywhere. The flavour is actually vanilla with pineapple pieces. The cake inside is plain sponge and juicy. It's superb.
Suggest to place an order for pineapple. Choc is ready mostly
They have a very limited selection of cakes but they are the best. They have just 1 type of a chocolate cake but it is the best chocolate with a traditional recipe but it's just too yummy. U can't compare it to the chocolate cakes u get in bakery's now days. When in Pune and craving for a nice chocolate cake Cake n Counter chocolate cake is always on my mind it's worth all the calories.

A lot of us living around Camp area would ahve grown up with Cake n Counter cakes - a very homely set up, with no major fanfare. They have the most basic cakes -yet perhaps one of the best. They have a standard chocolate cake in their display -with icing. This isn't a usual chocolate cream cake -and that's why its rich and heavy -and maybe that's the reason why a lot of people love it -its different. However, you have to try their black forst and pineapple cake (only on order) -they are the best in Pune.I woke up with pregnancy craving for a "Cake n Conter black forest cake the other day -and was so glad I could order it immediately and get it -its heavenly - the sponge and cream layer is proportionate -and thick. Cherries layered inside the cake are generous. The cream is just different -not the usual bland stuff. The cake just melts in your mouth .My husband had the cake for the first time and said -"I always wondered what's the fuss about a black forest cake? I always preferred a chocolate cake -until I had the black forest from Cake n Counter".
Good cakes and pastries though if u want a pastry you'd do a lot better to be there early in the day. (Before 4 pm is my guess)
Never tried anything besides their chocolate cake which is out of the world.
To be very precise, the one you get here, is amongst 'two' of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. Other being the one baked by 'Cake Lady' in Darjeeling, who isn't operating any more. If you're craving for chocolate cake, this is the best option you have. None of the other cake places in town come even close. Looking forward to having their Pineapple Cake some time soon. Apparently, this is one of the most underrated places and it's surprising that such few people are aware of it, despite being so good. Note that if you're visiting for the first time, you're likely to have a tough time locating it; however, it's completely worth the time and effort.
There aren't enough words to describe just how great this place is. I've loved their chocolate cake (with and without walnuts) since I was a kid, and try and get some every time I visit Pune (tip: if you find the chocolate cake too dark (as if there's such a thing as too dark!) try the vanilla sponge with chocolate icing. Just as delicious, but less chocolatey). What's really to die for is their pineapple cake, which is quite easily the best version of this dessert I've had anywhere. Made with real whipped cream (instead of the no-taste, soy stuff they use nowadays) and with the lightest sponge imaginable, there isn't an occasion that cannot be made brighter with this cake.
the cakes are really chocolaty and so soft that makes u craving for more!!!! must visit
Amazing cakes n pastries!! Chocolate n chocolate vanilla pastries are too good!
I don't think I need fifty words for this review but here goes. Simply, unquestionably and quite unanimously, I might add, the best chocolate cakes in Pune thus far. It's been years that every birthday and Christmas invariably sees me visit this place for a pick-up. The texture of the chocolate, the base, the walnuts and the cherries just lend this cake a level of elegance unmatched by many others in the industry and many new challengers as well. Let's hope it stays just as it is, because we wouldn't have it any other way.
Note: This is more of a cake review than a place review.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
cake and counters is a place to live the nostalgia, have been going there since 2000 n if we got hands on a pastry it used to be lucky day indeed. When we didn't get parties, I had myself finished entire cake on several occasions
Back in the day there were very few bakeries around n this small place run by a lovely couple made only 48 parties half full chocolate walnut n half chocolate sponge, n few standard square chocolate walnut cakes to sell off the counter, rest all made to order, they used to close down during afternoons n they still do like old Puneri fashion
N those pastries were sold at lightening fast speed.... Today it might not happen every day
Now there are so many professionally run bakeries with globally trained chefs that c&c might not be tough competition, but their taste has not changed a bit n that is perfection
They are very important part of Pune's culinary history, go there not for wide menu or numerous options with global flavors, but go there for tasting a good n rich home made cake that has been an inspiration forcurrent generation of bakers who grew up eating these legendary pastries n cakes
There is no point writing a review here as no words can match up to the standard of the cakes you get here. No doubt the best chocolate , Black Forest and pineapple cake in the world where one can actually taste the genuine interest and devotion into baking unlike today's commercially available cakes. You have to order a cake here If you want the real deal , taste and flavour and not random sugar coated maida that you get in other places. Eating the Walnuts and half seedless cherries on top of the cake before even cutting it on birthdays are a childhood memory
Any occasion at home, cake has to be from Cake and counter. they are famous for chocolate cakes but I usually find their chocolate cakes a tad too rich. However what I have fallen in love with is their pineapple cake. I think they make the best pineapple cake I have ever tasted. Their Black forest cake is also great. They make their cakes fresh on order and their cakes are not made with rich cream/non dairy cream that all bakeries use today which is white in colour. they used freshly whipped dairy cream which off white and make their cakes worth dying for. I can never keep their cakes in the refrigerator for more than a few hours. finger lickingly good.
I have had cakes from Cake N counter since I was a kid! They are my utmost favorite. They dont have a variety on flavors for cakes they specialize in Chocolate cakes. But believe me, it is the best chocolate cake in the world! They have full chocolate and sponge chocolate cakes. But they are yummmmmmmm... I love cakes so I have personally tried alot of places for cakes and being a major fan of chocolate, my rating for this place is 5.0. Yummiest Yummiest chocolate cake in the world! Must try!
Their pineapple cake just melts in the mouth. Chocolate walnut cake too is just awesome. This is Pune's legendary cake shop. They have maintained their quality thoroughly.
The best Chocolate Cake in the universe with many, many loyal customers from all over the city.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaath run this little place and never ever compromise on the quality of their cakes. Some years ago when Amul Butter was in shortage, they asked customers to get their own butter and subtracted it's costs on the price of the cake.
I have childhood memories fighting for corner slices and sugar roses and licking the green iced leaves from the four corners of party cakes - off the shelf, they're decorated with halved walnuts and cherries.
Their other offerings - Black Forest and Pineapple Cake are also worth a try.
They've stopped doing shaped Birthday cakes unfortunately, and are known to randomly put a blackboard announcing closure of the shop for upto a month while they take time off to tour the world.
I use to have cake n counter chocolate walnut cake from my school days & lemme tell u the taste is still the some after so many years.. One of the best & oldest places for quality cakes.. But jus one drawback the timings of this store is sad 😐
I've been ordering cakes from here since almost a decade now if I'm not mistaken. Their cakes are always fresh, delicious and filled with richness (walnuts) if you're someone who likes a bit of bitter chocolate and that too in a cake, then you must definitely go for this. The price is slightly higher but i can assure you it's worth every penny.
Con: Only cash and a limited amount of working hours (as they're high in demand and sell out pretty fast)
The pictures attached are of "Chocolate walnut cake with walnut icing" 1 pound cake
Superb cakes. Well baked and yes less creamy. People who donot like much icing and cream can have these cakes . They are baked ausum. Superb to taste and flafyy. Located on East Street camp this place is not much crowded but they have superb baked cakes . Small shop , less crowd good quality best taste less know.
One of my favorite cake shops for chocolate pastries & chocolate cake.
Must try: chocolate walnut cake and any other chocolate base cake.
Unchangeable taste always!!
The best chocolate pastry I've ever eaten. Hidden gem of Pune. Shop is small and simple. Very easy to miss out. I'm from Mumbai and whenever i come to know that someone is coming from pune i ask them to get a pastry from this place.
Best best best cake ever in the world... every birthday we have Cake n Counter cakes. No words to describe the connection and the taste .. U have to have it to understand. Those hands r blessed who bakes it with so much love and care.
I have been having their cakes since childhood and let me tell you it's the best and till date the flavors and experience gives a nostalgic feeling...if in Pune and in camp area you'll should try their cakes..chocolate walnut, pineapple..try it without fail...
Their choco walnut cake is the most glorious thing you would put in your mouth... ok okk 2nd most glorious
The best chocolate, chocolate walnut and Christmas cakes in town. Better call them and book the cake/s in advance to avoid disappointment. Been regularly getting cakes from there for the last 20 years. Friendly couple in charge of the setup.
Super cakes! The chocolate walnut cake is amazing & stays well if kept in the fridge. I've been buying their cakes for over 20 yrs.
