Candies

My visit to Candies Café in Bandra was one of the most enjoyable and refreshing café experiences I’ve had in Mumbai. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a colourful, artistic, and lively atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and full of character. The café is known for its beautiful interiors, spacious seating, and charming décor that makes every corner picture-perfect. Whether you choose to sit indoors or enjoy the airy outdoor seating, the ambience makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Candies is famous for its wide variety of freshly prepared dishes—everything from sandwiches, rolls, and salads to desserts, pastries, and beverages. The best part is the display counter, which is filled with tempting options that make you want to try a little bit of everything. Their food tastes homemade, balanced, and full of flavour, making it perfect for both quick bites and long conversations. The desserts, especially the cakes and tarts, are a highlight and pair perfectly with their refreshing iced teas or hot beverages. The café is always buzzing with people—students, professionals, families, and travellers—yet it never feels overwhelming because of its large, multi-section layout. The staff is polite, the service is fast, and the pricing is quite reasonable for the generous portions they offer. What makes Candies truly special is the vibe. It’s more than just a café—it’s a place to unwind, meet friends, enjoy good food, and soak in the artistic charm of Bandra. Every visit feels memorable, and it’s easy to see why Candies is loved by so many.

It is truly a hidden gem when it comes to food and ambience. Although slightly on the expensive side, it feels completely worth it considering café pricing in Mumbai. The ambiance really sets the place apart from similar cafes. It’s a multi-storey building with seating on every level, almost like walking through a maze that keeps surprising you with cozy nooks. The recurring theme is of Portugese style art and pottery which is reminiscent of old Cafes in places like Goa. The old glass lanterns on the ceilings and paintings a add a warm vintage charm. The upstairs and terrace levels are lush with greenery, making them ideal for spending time with family or friends in a relaxed setting. The chicken sandwich at just ₹100 is an unbeatable deal and a must-try. We also ordered cold coffee and latte, both of which were refreshing and well made. A standout was the unique “Passionate” drink (a passion fruit lemonade) that was tangy, refreshing, and perfect for a hot day. Their dessert selection is massive, with an array of pastries and cakes. The highlight for me was the carrot cream cheese cake—soft, creamy, and unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Simply heavenly! In short: great food, amazing vibe, and plenty of space to sit back and enjoy. Highly recommended if you’re in Bandra!

Very famous & old cafe in Bandra. Very beautiful ambience with twinkling lights & chandeliers. Good sandwiches, pastries,cold coffee etc. Excellent snacks at reasonable rates. Always crowded. Food items finish Very fast.

I don't get what the hype was about. They have an area where you have to make a bill of Rs. 500 person to be allowed to sit in that area. The food was good and nothing extraordinary. The tea was absolutely crap and was probably machine made. The washroom area had a very bad stink when you pass through it. Just another instagram worthy cafe. Thats it!

The ambience is great with portuguese style and decor. The place is quite huge and spacious with various sections. Overall a nice place to spend time and get-together with friends. It's a self service restaurant with a wide variety of food but honestly the food failed to impress me. Moreover the staff is uncooperative. You can definitely visit this place for the feel and vibe it offers.

🍰 Candies,– Bandra – 5/5 🌟 This place is an absolute hidden gem in Bandra! The vibe at Candies, Pali Hill is unmatched – cozy, artsy, and full of character. Perfect spot to unwind with friends or even just chill solo. The food is always fresh and satisfying – whether it’s their sandwiches, pasta, rolls, or desserts. The chocolate mousse and iced tea are must-haves! Huge variety, pocket-friendly prices, and generous portions make it a favorite. Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. Definitely one of Bandra’s best hangout spots!

Reccomend by a local, this place turned out to be one of the best spots in town. With a good range of classic bakery food items and sweets, this place has affordable eateries that actually tasted good. The coffee is perhaps the most expensive thing in the menu.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had at a café — Candies, has truly gone downhill. The atmosphere is just barely tolerable, but the food is an absolute disaster. Completely tasteless, bland to the point where even a roadside stall would put them to shame — I’ve honestly had better noodles from a street cart. The staff attitude is the real shocker. Arrogant, dismissive, and outright rude. The lady behind the counter kept rolling her eyes at customers and behaved as if doing her job was a burden. Her obnoxious attitude alone is enough reason to avoid this place. And then the service — 45 minutes for a simple order. When I asked about the delay, not only did they have no clue, but they actually blamed me for ordering “that kind of item.” The audacity is unbelievable. Candies seriously needs to rethink what they’re serving and how they’re treating people. This place has become a classic example of hype with zero substance. Definitely not returning, and would not recommend it to anyone.
