Best places to get bread in Bangalore

WHERE TO GET GOOD BREAD IN BANGALORE

Finding decent bread here is not as easy as you would think. While every grocery store carries bread, the selection and quality may not be what you are used to. Sure you can pick up toast and other soft loaves, but we generally find a lack of good quality hard, crusty bread. A few home bakers have taken this opportunity to start businesses that deliver fresh sourdough. We round up some of the best places in town to get your bread from!

One of the best places in town to get high-quality food, the bread here is no exception. All breads are freshly made in the store every day, you’ll find the usual Baguettes and Soft Loaves as well as a selection of pita, crostinis and pretzel bread. Grab a Cheesy Garlic Pull-apart Bread or a Chilli Corn Bread to serve with a soup or salad.

VINE TIP: So far this is one of the only places where we have found great bagels, if they are in stock, grab a few packs to freeze!

LAVONNE

Good breads are the least we would expect from a leading Academy of Baking Science and Pastry Arts that conducts its own courses on Basics of Bread and International Breads. While their selection is somewhat limited, they offer Baguettes, Focaccia, as well as Multigrain loaves with oats, sunflower, poppy, flak and linseed. We wouldn’t be able to list Lavonne without mentioning their amazing Croissants which are freshly baked every morning and usually sold out a few hours later. These are for sure the best croissants in the city.
