Situated in the heart of a busy market near Mallital area, this 80-year-old pastry shop and confectionery offers a quiet escape from the surrounding hustle. Once you step inside, the noise fades, and you’re welcomed into a space that carries a gentle, old-world charm. The walls are lined with photographs that reflect the rich culture of Uttarakhand, adding character without overwhelming the space. The staffs are polite and welcoming. The shop is best known for its classic Swiss pastries and sweets, many of which have stood the test of time. They also serve a mix of Chinese and tandoori items, which adds variety to the menu. We had cold coffee with ice cream, americano, chocolate tart, tiramisu, cinnamon roll, blueberry cheesecake, lemon cheesecake, whole pineapple pastry, chocolate almond pastry and pan fried noodles. The pastries tasted good and were nicely made, though they leaned a little on the sweeter side. A touch less sweetness might help bring out the real depth of the ingredients and let the core flavors speak more clearly. The cheesecakes were well-made, creamy, and have a nice balance of flavor that’s easy to enjoy. Coffees were good as well as the noodles. Tariff wise the confectionery is slightly on the higher side. Overall verdict, it’s a place that blends heritage with comfort, and offers a break from the usual - a visit worth making if you’re in the area.
