nestled in the foothills of the mighty himalayas lies a small hill town of landour which houses a 175 years old hotel rokeby manor. a subsidiary of which is the the landour bakehouse.
started in the 1800’s the cafe still uses the century old techniques and methods of baking and till date opens its doors at 8 am every morning for its guests to savour on the delicacies they prepare.
we recently planned a visit to the place and were struck with the awe of the history the place holds and the preservation of british architecture that the owners have done for the place. be it the original teak wood floorings, utensils used at the time of starting the place or a special nook for keeping books from local authors- a tribute to the weekly reading club which actually gave birth to the place.
we are a fan of the savouries the place offers but the croissant, butter cake and hot chocolate are our utter favourites.
for all the people traveling to mussoorie, we recommend them to visit the place for a feel of going back in time and have a feel of what it looks like to be in a small british town!
the cozies and the most rustic vibes that a café can offer, this place has it all!
the ambience is top notch and is a hidden gem in the top hills of mussoorie. this is where one can take their loved ones for a perfect date and have the time of your lives sipping hot chocolate while viewing done the window panes over the valley.
we ordered a carrot cake, walnut chocolate brownie and hot chocolate. all of them were to die for although we found them to be overpriced.
