La Folie - Kala Ghoda

Great dessert place Excellent service Overall a great experience at La folie.

The place is not easy to spot even with Google maps. It is a very small shop up of a little stair. The chocolates bonbons are really good made at the top quality level.😍 There was no macarons when I was there a little bit disappointed.😥 They don't serve hot chocolate too bad so sad 😔 They have their own chocolate bars with a good selection, I tried the 80% cacao and it is really good. 😋

A chocolate and macaroon addicts delight. Exquisite variety which makes it difficult to select from the options at hand. The shop is very cramped and hence one can't spend more time inside. Their sourdough breads are also a hit.

Had ordered 6 chocolate bars from La Folie early this year - the black jaggery and granola variants. Two of the bars were delicious- exactly what I had tried previously. The rest of the bars were extremely tart and unlike the ones I have had before. I immediately messaged them on whatsapp and they promised they would look into it and get back to us. However, after that point, they simply started ghosting us and did not reply to a single message. I even messaged on instagram and here again my message was read but ignored. They used to make excellent chocolates and cakes but there is no quality control and what’s worse than this is their service. Would NOT recommend.

Visited today for desert, it was devoted to all things chocolate. It has some exquisite desert items. There was very little room so for most folks it was a take away experience. Was quite impressed with the Caramel Chocolate dessert I had, certainly a good place to check out in Kala Ghoda. One could skip dessert at dinner when at Kala Ghoda and go sample some of the items here.

we asked a black forest pastry and it has some esoteric name and description but its the same. It was lip smacking and you could feel the quality of this particular pastry was unprecedented and unparalleled surpassing international standards. I cant forget it and craving for more. It costs 400 + so have to plan for it but for sure the quality and ingredients themselves are very costly. It definitely a peerless brand going by the pastry I tasted. Also for true connoisseurs who care for ultimate and rarest quality, they are okay to compromise on the price aspect. If we push for lower price, the fear is the standard reduce immediately and there is some compromise with ingredients.This understanding is very important and its critical the brand owner maintains the standards and the offering they begin with, without budging. Also compliments to the brand owner they have taken care hiring the right staff. The girl at the counter was incredibly sweet, caring and hospitable. She was impeccable with her service and manners. Polished act ! So also the side worker was quickly responsive and helpful. Both dine-in and takeout.

They have pathetic service. I ordered a Cake with Gabriel more than 1 weeks back, to be given with a thermocal box to be carried in the flight. When I arrived at the store, it was not there. When I contacted Gabriel, he refused to offer any help saying he is on a day off. They made us wait for 1.5 hours for the box to arrive. Meanwhile I also spoke to Chetan at the workshop, who also offered no resolution. The air conditioner in the store not working while we were waiting was an icing on the cake.

Charlie and the Vegan Chocolate Factory What if I told you that you could have a delicious chocolate dessert and not feel guilty? What if I told you that you could have a beautiful sweet creation free of refined sugar? What if I told you that there’s a place named after your madness for chocolate? La Folie Du Chocolat, which directly translates to “To Madness of Chocolate” is the cutest little gem buried in the dusty by-lane of Kalaghoda, Fort. As an ardent lover of chocolate, I’ve made it my personal mission to hunt down the most delectable chocolate heavens in Mumbai. This little patisserie is the birthplace of the prettiest, tastiest and perhaps the healthiest chocolate creations I’ve come across to date. The greeting on the doorstep which aptly says “surrender yourself” is beautifully aligned to the vibe of this place. That’s precisely what I did: surrendered myself to the dainty décor of the place, inhaled the light scent of chocolate, ogled at the creatively designed pastries and chatted with the friendly staff, ready to help with suggestions! This little cake-shop is like a secret pit-stop for your dessert cravings. The soothing colour-scheme used to decorate the joint is sharply contrasted by the burst of colours used to create the wide array of chocolates, pastries, bonbons, cookies and macaroons. While I was tempted to go all out and try the entire range, I decided to start small and soak in the flavours of one beautiful creation. Here’s what I tried: 1. Rocher Caramel The Éclair-looking dessert is one for chocolate and caramel lovers. The base is a moist and soft sponge cake coated with a mix of milk chocolate and hazelnut. Next layer is five generous dollops of whipped caramel covered by a thin layer of milk chocolate decorated with specs of edible golden design. Lastly, the traditional cherry on top is replaced with a golden hazelnut on top and I’m not complaining! Here’s the catch though, you can devour this entire creation and still feel light because it is completely VEGAN! That’s right, I was in a state of shock myself because I didn’t realise it was vegan till after I was done. The staff very kindly explained that the base was completely flourless and free of refined sugar and instead jaggery and avocado was used for the same. Most of their creations are completely vegan which means that you can go completely crazy and still not feel guilty about it! Apart from this, I picked up a box of 9 gorgeous handmade chocolates as a present for someone. I cannot personally comment on the taste of it but going by the reaction from the person whom I gifted it to, I’m sure I won’t regret trying the chocolates on my next visit. La Folie Du Chocolat creations are a must try! Be ready to keep your pockets full while trying the desserts here because it will surely burn a hole in your wallet (Price range: Rs. 150-350 per piece). For the love of chocolate, this place deserves to be visited and for the love of vegan chocolate, this place deserves to be loved!
