Signature French Pastries & Artisan Breads
Authentic Parisian techniques meet Bangalore energy. My daily morning bakes feature high-fat European butter and 27-layer lamination for the perfect, golden flake.

About Signature French Pastries & Breads
A quick tip on the croissants—because I use real European butter and 27-layer lamination for that signature flake, they are best enjoyed fresh from the oven. If you’re grabbing some for a slow morning at home, pop them in the oven for a few minutes to bring that crisp, golden texture right back to life.
My approach to baking is simple: bring the Parisian café experience to Bengaluru, one batch at a time. It isn't just about mixing flour and water. It is about understanding the science of the bake.
The Art of Lamination
Every croissant and pain au chocolat you see here undergoes a 27-layer lamination process. This is why you get that distinct, airy interior and a crust that shatters perfectly when you bite into it. I refuse to use vegetable fats or shortcuts. Using high-fat European butter is non-negotiable because that is where the richness comes from.
Bread & Pastry Selection
Beyond the viennoiserie, I take my breads seriously. My sourdough and focaccia loaves are crafted with the same patience. Whether you are looking for a rustic sourdough to pair with your morning eggs or a classic pain aux raisin to go with your afternoon coffee, everything is baked in small, fresh batches daily.
A Note on Freshness
Because I bake in limited quantities to ensure quality, my morning staples often sell out by the afternoon. If you have your heart set on a specific pastry, especially on weekends, I recommend checking in or ordering ahead. My bakery is located in the heart of Indiranagar and Museum Road, and I am always happy to wrap up a box of fresh treats for you to enjoy at home. If the weather is particularly humid, remember that delicate pastries can lose their crispness quickly—a brief moment in a hot oven is all they need to reset.
Zed The Baker
I'm Zed. I started this bakery with a simple dream: bringing the magic of Paris to the streets of Bengaluru. When I'm not in the kitchen perfecting the lamination on a fresh batch of croissants, you'll find me at the café, making sure every pastry that hits your plate is exactly as it should be—buttery, flaky, and full of soul.
