4th Main Road, Besant Nagar. Open till 9 tonight.
Sourdough, croissants, jaggery buns and a filter-coffee éclair we are quietly proud of. Order by 6 pm and your name goes on a box. Or design a cake on screen and we bake it by hand.
Custom cakes need 48 hours. Croissants need you to be here before 11.
Order by then and it is boxed, labelled and on the counter at 7 am. Miss it and you take your chances with the queue.
Six pin codes around Besant Nagar, free above ₹800, in a paper bag on a scooter between 8 and 10 am.
Every cake can be made with our aquafaba sponge for ₹80 more. Slightly denser. Equally gone.
Saturday 30 August, copied off the counter book. Each bar begins when the tray comes out and ends when we sell the last one. This is why we ask you to order the night before.
Bars run 6 am on the left to 9 pm on the right.
Sourdough and rye are pre-order only after 11. Everything else, you are welcome to gamble on. All 20 bakes, with prices and allergens.
On the site, on WhatsApp, or at the counter on your way home. Pay half now or all now, your call.
Anitha shapes the sourdough at 4, the croissants go in at 5:30, the buns at 6. The éclairs are filled last so they stay crisp.
Pick it up any time we are open, or we bring it to your door between 8 and 10 for ₹40.
This is the pistachio rose, the cake we get asked about most and the one that needs the longest notice. Nothing in it is a mystery, so here it is sawn in half at breakfast on a Thursday.
Laid on at 6 am with a dry brush. Any earlier and it tears.
Scraped hot, so the edge goes glassy instead of matte.
Brushed on while the sponge is still warm from the tin.
Iranian pistachios, shelled here every Wednesday.
Set overnight at 18°C, or the top tier slides off by noon.
The thin one nobody sees, stopping the green showing through.
Pick one, two or three tiers, six sponges, six frostings, and whatever you want on top. The price updates while you click, so nobody has to ring us to ask.

“I ordered the pistachio cake for my mother's 70th and wrote ‘Amma’ in the message box. They piped it in Tamil without being asked. She cried, then ate two slices.”
Sourdough is already half spoken for. The éclairs go faster.
