Kyani and Co.

One of the town's oldest bakeries can be found in Marine Lines. This bakery serves a variety of cakes, chai, and Mumbai's very own #maska pav, which is not to be missed. The atmosphere of the past is still present here, and going there will transport you back in time. Freshly made mawa cake, one of this place's delectable specialities, is also a must-have item. There are several stunning old pictures of British Mumbai hanging on the walls. Kyani is an eerie sight because of its old seats, wooden counters, giant glass windows, and large glass jars filled with pastries and biscuits.

One of the best baked goods and Parsi food can be found at the Yazdani Bakery in the city's Fort area. The oldest bakery in town, founded in 1953 by a Parsi baker named Meherwan Zend, is still selling the tastiest bread in the area to its patrons. Khari cookies, pudding, apple pies (after 3:30 pm), ginger biscuits, mawa cakes, and rum-soaked plum cake, which is served at Christmas, are further popular Yazdani delicacies. They also won a prize for Heritage Bakery in 2007. Yazdani bakery produces 1,000 laadi pavs per day (that would be 6,000 individual pavs).

The Carvalho family has been baking sweet and savoury treats for its clients for more than 100 years. Francesco Carvalho began it in 1908 because he wanted to share his love of food and baking. This tiny bakery is situated in Bandra's Hill Road neighbourhood. Currently, his fourth successor is in charge of the bakery. They feature a vast selection of sweets, cakes, pastries, tarts, cookies, and more. To preserve their century-old commitment to creating the highest quality yet reasonably priced products, they hand-pick fresh ingredients every day. 

The morning is the perfect time to visit the City Bakery because there will be a lot of people there devouring the gastronomic treats. The 1925-founded bakery is well-known for its brun pao, soft bread, and khari. They also offer a wide variety of cakes, brownies, and other sweets. As a result of his vision and forward-thinking ideas, Mr V.S. Prabhu quickly gained fame for his little bakery and earned the nickname "Biscuita Vasudevu" (Biscuit Vasudev). Being an inventive man, he perfected the skill of making Benne Butter, a popular butter rusk product.
