walk beyond the chaardukan area to almost the end of civilization and you will find this british styled bakery tucked in a corner. be ready to be dazzled by a wide array of cupcakes, breads and cookies that landour bakehouse offers. we were spoiled for choice and wanted to cram in as much as possible in three trips. my personal favourite was the almond rose cake.
top of the line though were the crepes here. from condensed milk to peanut butter (sourced from the adjacent prakash's store) and the spellbinding lemon curd, the fillings took my crepe experience to another level. i wouldn't mind trudging all the way up every day to landour bakehouse just for this. the constant footfall despite its remote location says quite a lot about its bakery. and the small but efficient staff did a brilliant job churning out crepes, tea and coffee at a decent pace.
landour bakehouse is a throwback to the past, a hidden gem that should be left at its own. everything coming through the line was top notch in quality. add to this the cloudy, tranquil feel of the place. it's almost desolate with the occasional breeze rustling up the leaves, just the perfect setting to sip some tea, eat some crepe and thank god for treasures like landour bakehouse.
