variar bakery as most people call it, has been around for years now, dishing out some of the best milk biscuits, sponge cakes, butter biscuits, rusks amongst the other delectable items they've got on their shelves, in the north-east side of bangalore. you're assured of good quality of snacks which you can taste in every bite of any item that you buy off their shelves. taste of all their snacks is very rich and you can sense the aroma of butter and nuts opening up in your mouth beautifully and coating the back of your tongue with butter. their spongecakesjust melt in your mouth and leave behind the good taste of their soft crust. the puffs are crispy with quality filling inside.

they have two outlets in rajajinagar. both of these outlets are usually crowded and you'll have to wiggle and snuggle around to reach the counter, or else you'll be waiting behind someone and stay there all day. in fact, it gets so crowded that they have a designated queue area for women.

make sure you know what all you want to buy, because it's hard to get hold of one of the hundreds of guys working inside to serve the several hundreds of people at the counter. costs of snacks here are much higher compared to an average bakery, but promises to deliver the goodness that satiates you.

buon appetito!

bhakasura rating : 4.5/5

overall rating 4/5
hygiene 5/5
this is an old-style bakery in malleswaram. it’s self service and extremely popular, so you’ll find a huge queue on most days. there is even a separate ladies queue! one issue we faced while ordering is that there are no printed menus. there is a menu board displayed on a wall, but it mentions only around 10 items while there’s actually a much wider range of goodies available for sale. most customers seem to be regulars, so they know exactly what they want. but for someone who is trying out the place for the first time, it can be difficult to figure out what to order. the servers are in a hurry (understandably) and don’t help much with the selection.
the quality of the food here is outstanding! many items are made fresh each day with the best of ingredients. the food has an old-world charm to it, very different from the commercially produced biscuits andcakesyou get nowadays. instantly reminded of home-made nan-khatai & biscuits.

items we tried :
milk biscuit 5/5
plum cake 5/5
veg puff 3.5/5
veg toast 3/5
japanese cake 3.5/5
fruit puff/ tutti frutti puff 4/5
green chilli biscuit 4/5

milk biscuit - fastest selling item at og varier. it’s a delicious, crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth biscuit, perfect for dunking in tea! mildly sweet and no added flavour apart from the taste of milk.

plum cake - one of the best i’ve had in a long time. packed with cherries, plums, dates, raisins and all kinds of nuts. had a rich fruity

veg puff- slightly better than your average veg puff. quality of puff pastry was good. in most places, puff fillings consist of only potato & onions. here, it was nice to see a filling with loads of mixed veggies.

veg toast - same filling as the veg puff. bread was baked in house and quality was good. but toast seemed to have been prepared the previous day and wasn’t that fresh.

fruit puff- similar puff base as veg puff but fewer layers. filling was a tutti frutti- almost jammy spread. not too sweet & had a few nuts as well reminding me of a baklava.

japanese cake - two macaroon style crunchy biscuits with butter cream sandwiched in between & rolled in desiccated coconut. the cream was too rich & sweet for me, but the biscuits were good.


green chilli biscuit - crumbly nan-khatai style biscuit flavoured with herbs and fried green chilli. at first bite this doesn’t seem very spicy but the heat kicks in later. very spicy and might not be to everyone’s taste but i loved it.

verdict: must visit for the great quality and home-style taste. prices are slightly on the higher side & service could be better.

definitely one of the bakeries in bangalore serving for years, since the time of my grandfather. theircakesstand out for their quality and taste. ofcourse each item stands out butcakesare a step ahead. biscuits are absolute delight. veg puff is light, crisp and yummy, bread toast is just amazing and the list goes on as we describe each item. highly recommended place for highly satisfying eateries.

it is a must eat at bakery in bangalore. their spongecakesand milk biscuits are truly out of this world. little crowded but all the wait is totally worth the efforts!

this is one amazing place for all the bakery foods and it’s the oldest also famous for its authentic taste they have maintained till now .

totally worth ordering the milk biscuits,cakesand puffs and the quality and the quantity is the same since ages and you find this place a way too crowded all the time even during the typical weekdays !!

being a resident of rajajinagar, this is my go to place forcakesand biscuits. nothing can beat the pound cake you get here. they get over really fast so be there early.
