Ever since we moved to North Carolina we have been in search for a good Bombay sandwich and this place has hit the spot. Nothing hits like a nice hot sandwich filled with strong flavors. The portion size was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a Bombay style sandwich. We didn’t get ours with Amul cheese but you can request for a more authentic flavor profile. We came during a slow time and got our food very quickly which was nice. When I go again I’ll definitely be adding tomatoes, onions, and cheese. 😮‍💨👌

Nice Ambience. Average food but service and communication should be better for sure. We went in at 8(they close at 8:30) and ordered pavbhaji and paneer tikka sandwich. The lady took the order and we sat waiting only to be surprised by the to-go bag saying the order is ready. When asked if we can eat it here she was blunt in answering we close at 8:30. It could have gone a couple of ways. she could’ve informed it’s only to-go, it would’ve been nice. Even when the order was ready, had she acknowledged and let us dine in, i’d have visited at least a couple more times. Now I am not going back. I could have raised an issue right then and there, but I didn’t see the point in explaining how not to end your working day.

Disgusting food. Ordered paneer roll, chole bhature, and panner toast.. the roll was a papad and not a roll like with some old stuffing of green pepper.. chole was black Chana and not authentic chole. Paneer toast had little to no paneer with just bread pieces. No wonder the ratings are so low..

We bought black forest and tiramisu, cakes were stale and dry. I don't know why they don't put expiry date on the cakes. Very disappointing. If you consider freshness and good food, this place is not recommended.

I had high hopes for this cake, but it was really disappointing. The texture was hard, the taste was bland and bitter, and it lacked any real flavor. I've tried many cakes before, but this was by far the worst. I wouldn't recommend it

Big fan of desi chaats but was disappointed with what they served. I had Raj kachori which was presented as fried flour crisps with couple of besan pakoras and the toppings. Toppings was fine but kept on wondering where the kachori was 🤨. Tea and vada pav was nice but I make better vada pav. I’ll visit again on a lazy day but won’t order these chaat items at all 😔

I have been to this bakery three times since it is the only place next door to where I take my dog and would have liked to sit and ordered coffee with a piece of cake. All 3 times I wait for a long time for someone to come to the front counter. And when the female finally does show up she has such a bad attitude as if I was a bother. The cakes I tried: Mango, Black Forest and pineapple were dry. This was my third and last try to support this local business since after waiting for 7 minutes I walked out. They have a loud ringer alert when you enter their establishment but I guess no one hears it in the back.

I was surprised to see this place cause its kind of hidden and not very visible to catch an eye. Food is delicious, good for snacks bites and price is reasonable for the quantity is being served. We tried Samosa chat, choley bhatury, vegetable puff Mango pastry and indian style coffee which were freshly made and full of taste. The only complaint is the table we sat on was not cleaned which could be understandable cause they don’t have enough workers up front. We love to go again and try other food in future.

Best Dahi puri, sev puri and vada pav. Restroom could be cleaner but overall decent service. Good place for quick chaat. Reasonably priced.

This receives a one star because I was disgusted by their men's restroom when I took my lil son in yesterday. It was around lunch time. One would expect atleast a clean restroom from a restaurant of their reputation and size. The toilet seat was all covered up in someone else's business, literally. And they were out of paper towels and the overall restroom was worse than you would find at a pub on a Saturday night. It just spoiled my whole appetite. I told this to the lady at the counter and they swiftly put an out of order sign on it; but a customer shouldn't be the one reminding them of maintaining cleanliness standards to operate their place.

I'm not sure why this place has such low ratings. Note, I have not tried their baked goods and feel the name is a little misleading but their chaat (basically, Indian street food) is SO good. We have now been multiple times. There's no online ordering so you do have to call for takeout. One item in my order was once wrong, but it was vegetarian so I ate it. It was so good I'm glad it was wrong! Now it's part of our order every time. We have had the samosa chaat, aloo tikki chaat, pav baaji, paapdi chaat, bhel puri, Bombay sandwich, pani puri, and mango lassi. The only thing I probably wouldn't get again was the sandwich, which was fine, but everything else is better. The flavor is on point for all the chaats. I will mention either the yogurt or chutneys do make the chaat a little on the sweeter side if your preference is not that. We recently tried a different chaat place nearby and missed this one so much we went here the same day. The cafe itself is pretty casual if you do choose to eat here, but the food stays fresh for our ~20 minute drive home.

Would give negative rating if possible. This is probably the worst vada pav, black Forrest cake and chole bhatura I've ever had. The vada pav was so tasteless, vada was so oily and didn't have any taste. The chole was bland too. Cake was dry and seemed like it's not fresh. They packed my chole in a small styrofoam coffee cup. Pretty sure I didn't get the portion i should've received. Very disappointed because other hot breads usually had amazing taste.

Ordered a cake for my son who turned 20 recently and came home for spring break. We went to pick up from the shelf but decided not to as the lady said it was 2 days old. So we ordered to pick up 2 days later. The cake turned out to be awful! Or was so terribly dry that it was crumbling when we cut it and there's no mango flavor whatsoever. 40$ for an 8 inch cake that was completely worthless . Above all it ruined our special moment. I called the store and they said they'd call me back to 'discuss'. Writing this 2 days later!!! I'm never going back here again!

Being Indian, I am talking about spicy. Extremely spicy and tasteless shit. Everything is made with spicy green chutney. The most basic of Indian drinks is tea. That is also not good here. It taste like reheated water in a used tea bowl.

Been here several times and they had maintained the quality of food. We had Chole Bhatura and Samosa Chaat. I loved Samosa Chaat, but was not that impressed with Bhatura.

I am very disappointed with my order today, not sure what has happened with hot breads. 1 ordered extra bhatura, and upon asking the lady at counter if they added, very confidently they said yes, and we paid for it after coming home noticed only 2 were there. Called and got a refund for that extra. Also ordered parathas, and they are all half cooked and this is going to upset my tummy for sure. How can anyone eat this and fully paid for it.. not good at all, chef needs to probably work on their cooking. Do not spend money going here may be the management has changed.

I got here for dinner at around 5 minutes to 8pm, arriving just before the dinner rush. Someone was cleaning the floor of the restaurant when I stepped in, but some tables were still pretty clearly dirty. I ordered the dahi puri, the sev puri, and the chole bhature to share. All the food was amazing, which made up for the limited service. Definitely recommend!

The ownership seems to have changed, and while there are a few hiccups with service, the food is still really good. All the chaat items are well made, and this remains one of the few places with fresh tasting chaat in the area.

We are huge fans of Hot Breads Cafe since its genesis. The Taste has always been consistent. The quality has rarely gone down. We live very close to this place and we are always happy to order from here. Our parents , us and our kids all have certain favorites from here which is extremely rare. Highly recommend Parathas , Dahi puri , Cakes , Dabeli , Paneer tikka panini and the kids Paneer grilled. Cant even remember how many times we have taken food from here for our one day trips. Always a hit. Ordered Cakes several times and it has always been amazing . I wish they kept the Samosas on the menu since they were the best we have had since 2010. but we get the reasoning behind its removal. The staff keeps changing and all of them work hard . We will continue to order from here.

I am extremely impressed by the quality, authenticity, and flavors of the chaat at hot breads. Between 3 of us we ordered 5 different things, and I was impressed by all of them. What really stood out to me was the dahi puri and pani puri. I loved that they used white peas as opposed to channa, because they provided a warmer flavor to balance out the yogurt/water. Speaking of yogurt, they had the perfect amount of yogurt on all the yogurt dishes we ordered. I am used to chaat places skimping on yogurt big time, and charging if you ask for extra, but this was not the case at hot breads. Their pani puri really hit the spot--if you ever just crave pani puri, this one does the trick in satisfying the craving! Papdi chaat was really good as well. I wasn't as impressed by the dabeli, or parathas. The dabeli had a great amount of garlic, and it's one of the only dabeli I have had in the US that uses peanuts like they do in Ahmedabad. However, it was a little too filling and not as tasty as those original ones in Ahmedabad. I would not recommend getting any of the parathas. They are barely stuffed--especially the paneer parathas. You might as well just be eating a regular paratha. Their sandwiches are also good. I like that they use foccacia bread. I had the paneer tikka panini and it was extremely hearty and well flavored. I do have to knock off a star, however because I spotted a few mosquitoes and even a moth in the facility. The moth was flying around the plastic spoons/forks...but I guess if you are going for the truly authentic Indian experience, that would be a part of it! Also, they do randomly charge for things, so your meal does end up being expensive sometimes. Finally, they don't have a proper water dispenser--just cups next to a water fountain which is kind of shady to me.

I am very surprised why this place has such a low rating. Hot breads is our regular hang-out to order chaats or paninis and also such a mood lifter on days when you are craving to eat chaats. Our favorite is their samosa chaat and Paneer Tikka panini. The flavors are so on point for Paneer tikka panini with the yummy green chutney. Our kid also loves their Dahi puri which has become a family favorite amongst kids and elderly parents

This is our favorite place to go for "fast food Indian". We always order the chole bhature, chicken curry and pav Bhaji-- they never disappoint. This is a hidden gem! We go so often and order the same thing, they know us now

This place is great! Food was delish! I recently started working in that area, we ordered take out, everything was still hot when we got back to the office. It's a great little spot for lunch, I'll definitely be back, maybe to try their desserts that looked awesome as well.

I ate pani puri ( 4-5 puris served with some potato mixed chana). It was so tasteless. Bombay sandwich was fresh n hot ( it was fresh may be because it had a couple of slices of tomato, cucumber n onion with green chutney n then grilled) . Had to sprinkle extra salt n pepper to make it taste better n not bland. Pastries are only a one time try. I did not try any non- vegetarian dishes as i am not sure if its halal or not. Its beyond my understanding that being a indian how one can serve such tasteless pani puri. HAVEN'T YOU ATE PANI PURI once in your life in India!!! N then you serve this. The worst tasting pani puri at a Indian stall in India will taste much better than all the restaurants serving pani puri here in RTP!!!! One thing common in desi restaurants is they will be boiling hot inside. Guess the air conditioning doesn't work well in all desi restaurants.

I'm not sure why it is rated low.. if you're expecting a restaurant experience and full meal then this is not the place to go. This is a bakery/snack bar. Really good chaat options, snacks and cakes. The meal options aren't great and that's probably what's impacting their rating. Nevertheless, this is a good place to snack on a lot of delicious stuff. My friends and I usually head there after a some badminton games.

Dead atmosphere. A bit worn looking. Quite dirty, from floors, to tables, to trays, everything dirty. Overflowing trash cans. Didn't see staff come out to clean. Cashier coughed right into his hand. Table was very woobly. I have seen hospital cantines with more of a pleasant ambiance. Needs music in the background. Everything was so slow. I didn't expect chaat to take this long. You seat yourself, order at the counter and then get the food at the counter. You would think this would mean food quicker. Mainly chaat items, cakes and also a couple of hot dishes here. The paani puri was good, no complaints there. Bhel puri was a big portion, good for the price and spice level was good, but it was too dry, more chutney needed. I thought there would be more breads, since it's called Hot Breads. You can get Black Forest cake, mango cake, pineapple cake here. There are options for eggless cakes also.

I stopped in for takeout after my hair appointment at Sola (my stylist recommended it). This isn't your typical Indian restaurant. It's Indian street food and it is delicious! Ignore the sanitation score and order the vada Pav. The spices will kill anything and the flavor will delight you. I loved every bite. It's a spicy potato patty in a bun with tamarind sauce, cilantro and garlic. Also ordered the chole bhature (chickpeas with buttery bread) but haven't tried it yet. The vada pav was so filling. Give this place a try!

I know where to go when chat craving hits!! Loved the Dahi golgappe, aloo tikki and raj kachori we had there. We also ordered a pineapple cake and a Black Forest. Both were superb. Perfectly moist and delicious. Going by the reviews I had expected the place to be very tiny but I was happy with what I saw. Spacious and neat. Lucky, I went when there was not a big crowd and didn't have to wait for long, as others said. Going back a million times, for sure!!

Landed here looking for an indian-inspired pineapple vanilla cake for hubby's birthday. The cake was good and was a hit! Noticed freshly baked puffs and got a potato puff, which was also good. So decided to try other items on the menu as well. So here we are, on a Saturday morning ,having a hearty breakfast of aloo paratha, paneer paratha (with yogurt and mixed pickle) and khasta kachori and potato and chicken puffs! The owners are polite and sweet, offer a variety of good stuff. The thing I like most is that it's very homely food and some dishes aren't available at other indian bakeries/cafes/restaurants like dabeli, khasta kachori etc. Coming back for more for sure!! ;)

This is the best place around to get Indian sandwiches, which I got a taste for in India and have missed. My favorite is the Chicken Tikka Panini, although the chaat and pav are also excellent. My husband and I go to Hot Breads about once a week and have for 3 years now. I've never been disappointed with the food.

Not excellent but not bad either. If you're craving chaat, it's not a bad place to go, the food is fresh and tastes decent but definitely not mouth watering. There is a very popular place in Houston with a similar business name so when I first came across this place in the triangle I thought it was their chain store and went with high expectations. That was about a year ago, I had their papdi chaat and left completely disappointed. Chaat lacked flavor and papdi tasted stale. Fast forward to a year later, a friend recommended she likes their chaat now and management might have changed so I gave it another try. I shared the chana bathura and raj kachori. The chole (chana) could have been better but no complaints with the bathura. They serve two medium sized bathuras which helps with portioning if you plan to share with friends. Again, the last time I had chole bathura was in Houston which was excellent so I wasn't left impressed but this place might not be a bad option in the triangle. Raj kachori hit the spot for me, flavors were just right. It's sweet, tangy, savory, as expected from chaat. I would order that again. As per their cakes, they are fresh and delicious. Indian pastries tend to be on the sweeter side and that's what you'll get here. They also offer few eggless options. I have had their black forest a few times, never disappointed. The place is casual, no frills with plastic cutlery. Go back: Yes, I would but not a fan yet.

Wonderful food with a reasonable price tag. The sandwiches are amazing and the samosa chat is delicious. I wasn't terribly impressed with the mango cake it was moist and good just not very mangoy. My mother who had the eggless Black Forest said it was good. If I had anything to critique it on to improve. It would be to offer some simple easy to do sides? Maybe fries, soup, or a salad?

My wife and I tried a chicken roll, vadapav and a piece of Black Forest cake today. The cake was good. Vadapav and chicken roll was tasteless. Chicken roll was covered with salt. Vadapav was given in a burger bread. Very disappointed and will never visit this cafe again. They say they have brought the taste of Indian street foods to America but honestly the taste is no where near compared to the real Indian street food. Very disappointed.

Worst papdi chaat i've ever had. They just threw cooked chana on top of some very sweet yogurt and called it a day. My mom could make better papdi chaat blindfolded and drunk. Mango cake was okay, but nothing special.

Arun S.

Yelp
Been here twice in 3 years. It's not decent food, it's not decent Indian or Americanized Indian food and it's definitely not even half decent chaat. On the upside it's cheap. But there are other cheap eateries that serve much better food. I think even the cook was thinking the same thing as me when I ate here - "I should not be here". Jokes aside, here is advise directly to the owner- if you're interested in making food do it right. Reorganize the place, make it cleaner and fire the cook or redo the menu to serve what he can cook well. FYI, I ordered the paneer sandwich, chole bature and papri Chaat. Besides the bature (not chole just the bature) nothing else was even nice to eat. If you think what you're serving is good you really need to read reviews and go around to other shops nearby and try it. Good luck.

The worst place to eat. Extremely slow service, bland food and the worst health code violation that I have seen in recent years - the owner took a food tray and used that to push trash into the can! That was it. The last time I ever ate at this place.

We've heard many friends talk about Hot Breads and finally ventured there Saturday night. The Cafe is cosy, cashier was delightful but apart from that, I wouldn't go there again. We ordered the Dahi Puri & Chole Batura (ChickPea Curry, which was their special of the day). Being a cafe we estimated our sit down time to be about 15mins - max. Our wait time was 38mins (yes! We were watching!) The Chole was nothing special, you could only taste the onions and the masala, and the Dahi Puri was average. What I was shocked about was the water situation - they had two water fountains and a bunch of cups - to service yourself. Also, things were being serviced in styrofoam containers - no eco-friendly. We were not impressed however, curiosity got the better of us and we decided to try the dessert. Even the dessert (though displayed at the counter) we had to wait for. We got the butterscotch cake - different but not sure I'd ever eat that again.

This review is for 2 different incidents. I ordered a 8" cake for my dad on his birthday in October. The cake order was given 4 days prior to pick up day with full payment. On the birthday, when I went to pick up the cake, I was given 6" cake. Since it was already late, I got it home. I also asked for my overpaid money back as there is a difference between price of 6" cake and 8" cake. However, I was told by the staff that they cannot return it, only the owner can. I called the owner couple of times. She was in India. So called her when she got back in December, she told me she will call next day and return the money. Did not receive any call. I called her again in a week or so.. Same reply.. Again no response. I still haven't received any call or money from them. Its been 7 months. It's not even about money but the business ethics and honesty. Being a Dabeli lover, I still kept visiting their restaurant (did not ever ask for cake difference money from the staff). I visited hot breads in January with few of my friends and parents. Unfortunately, we all got sick after eating the food there. The person who did not consume food there, my mother did not get sick. Haven't visited the restaurant since and never will. My friends won't either. I think it's time you start caring about your customers!

Overall Would rate 3.5. for the price and quantity it's amazing. For the taste it's 3 stars, samosa chat was good, bhelpuri was too dry they could have added more sweet and spicy chutney. Dahi papdi was kinda sweet.

Their food quality has come down a bit in the recent times. The samosas aren't as fresh as they used to be. Their service also degraded a lot. They take awful Lot of time to prepare each order.

Good pastries and puffs. But they need to improve the service. I saw a board on the door saying they looking for new staff.. It definitely looked like they are understaffed. The poor lady in the counter was running around..

Ran in to grab a pastry while next door at the dry cleaners. Used the restroom first. It was so disgustingly dirty that I decided to forgo food consumption. I never even saw anyone working there. The only people present were a grandma and little girl eating. Creepy and Nasty?! That's okay, I'll pass.

As you can see from my previous review, my family and I enjoyed the food here and used to eat here quite often (almost once a week). Don't know what's happened but the quality in food and customer service has gone WAY WAY down. On May 10th, 2013 my Mom and I drove all the way from Apex to pick up a blackforest cake because she really wanted one for her birthday the following day. The hours on the door says the store closes at 9:30pm. When we went in it was 9:20pm, exactly 10 minutes before they close. We went to the counter and asked for a blackforest cake and the lady that was working that night straight up said, "I can't give that to you right now because I've closed the register for the night." This woman had closed the register TEN minutes before the store was even supposed to close. We were slightly annoyed but told her it's okay if she can't accept a credit card and we would give her cash/check instead. She still refused and said, "no, I've closed the register for the night." At this point we were furious because a) we drove all the way from Apex, b) she closed the register before the cafe was supposed to close and c) she refused to give us what we wanted! I honestly couldn't believe it. I asked for the manager/owner's phone number and when we called, it wasn't even the manager/owner, she gave us the wrong number. This is not the kind of customer service that I expect. This is absolutely ridiculous. It's a shame because we go there all the time and so do our friends and after what happened to us, we definitely won't return. Go to 5 Hot Chillies instead: http://www.yelp.com/biz/5-hot-chillies-indian-cuisine-morrisville The food is better than Hot Breads & customer service is way better!!

The filtered reviews are full of good stuff, but from people who have reviewed only Hot Breads Cafe and no other business! Definitely fishy... The 3 times I've been here, I thought the chaat was okay. Definitely nothing out of the ordinary. It had some unusual, weird flavors. The cakes looked suspiciously stale and thankfully I did not have any. One good thing however is that the owner stopped by everyone's table and enquired about likes and dislikes. For me, that was one distinguishing factor from Cool Breeze. However, good things do not last long.... Update : had chaat here, recently. I had asked for spicy option. The usual definition of 'spicy' is an addition of a chilli sauce or hot sauce. At Hot Breads Cafe, spicy means chopping up fiery Thai chilli peppers (about 4 peppers per plate!) and scattering them around in the chaat. My mouth was on fire. I also ate about 5 pieces by mistake as they were scattered in the chaat mixture. When we showed the owner the plate containing the chilli pieces (about 20 pieces), she went on defensive mode immediately. Afterwards, she reluctantly agreed that 'spicy' does NOT mean scattering fiery chilli pepper pieces in chaat. I don't think she really agreed in her heart, though. Sucks....I mean really sucks. The place should shut down. I have changed the rating from 3 to 1 after this experience. If there was a 0 or minus 5, this place should get it.

There was one girl at the counter, taking orders for about 7-8 tables. Fellow diners had no sense / respect and were in their zone laughing/ yelling . Their kids were running around all the tables including our's. Took 25 minutes to deliver our panini. Chairs were in no order and left in the middle of the room and bathroom doors were open all the time we were here.

Although the owner is a nice woman, there is such great need for improvement in this restaurant. I went here to review their cakes but ended up trying the Sev Puri, which I really liked. However, I don't eat Indian food as a rule so am no expert on that cuisine. I did like it though. When I got there, no lights were on except for the "open" sign. I ordered off the stand-up menu, which had 4 items on it. I did not know there were other menu items until after I ordered and the manager/owner arrived and turned on the screens overhead, which has many more food items. The store opened at 11 but they were not really open until 11:30 when everything was turned on. In any case, I got my food and liked it. The cake, however, well, sucked. The cream tasted like the refrigerator on both the chocolate cake and the mango cake. I spoke to the owner about it and gave her some suggestions, but still ended up wasting about $7 in cake which she knew ended up directly in the trash can in the restaurant. Although I think she has a good heart, she has very, very poor customer service skills. The cake was awful, she said she didn't try it, and apparently did not care I just wasted so much money on it either. Oh well. I gave her my business card and half expected some kind of email but since I got nothing--here's the review. It is what it is.

Good cakes, tasty indian street food. Their service might suck at times. I like their homemade yogurt which comes with their dhai(yogurt) puri. It is thick and creamy. They also make good sandwiches and paratas. I have had bad take out experiences couple of times in the past. They are slightly priced on the higher side when compared to their peers. Good food, slightly higher priced and OK service.

One of the most low-key places with some of the best-prepared foods. Go if you have a little bit of time and want to enjoy delicious snacks.

Craving for Indian street food but don't like what you get at Rajbhog Cafe and Cool Breeze? Then go to Hot Breads Cafe! Been a regular customer of this cafe since 2 years and I look forward to my next visit. Family run place with warm welcoming owners I love the sanitation score here, which is well reflected in the clean space Lots of seating Shared parking lot - easy access Now I don't know about other people's experiences and what part of India they come from (the taste of same dish varies across India), but I'm from New Delhi and the food here wins hands down! I agree the blackforest pastry isn't as good as other places, but the mango pastry makes up for that flaw. But that's not what I go back for. It is the Indian street food here that is AWESOME! Aloo Tikki: My favorite item on the menu .. actually there's a battle for #1 between this and Pav Bhaaji Consistently fresh cutlets with yogurt, green chutney and tamarind chutney on top slurrrrp! 5/5 Pav Bhaaji: I've never introduced their Pav Bhaaji to any fellow Indian and not had them craving for more 5/5 Stuffed Parantha: Served with yogurt or curry.. ask for curry and you'll be missing mom's home-cooked Sunday brunch 5/5 Paneel Roll: Like it 4.5/5 Raj Kachori: Yum, ask for extra seasoning and spicing if you like it hot and you shall get it 4/5 Paneer Grilled Sandwich: Grilled to perfection 4/5 Pani Puri: Fresh, though can be better 3.5/5 Vada Pav: Okay-ish.. Maybe I didn't like it because it is a Mumbai dish 3/5 My drink? Mango milk shake or Thandai milk shake or just good ole' cold coffee :) (And they have a kids menu for the little important people!!)

Decent selection of Indian fast food. Some items were really good (veggie puffs, bread pakora) while others were average (bhel, pani puri). Overall the owner was really nice to us and asked us if everything was good and wanted feedback. He was really happy we gave honest feedback about the bhel and pani puri. The eggless black forest pastry is to die for.
