“Cakes – A Place Which Serves the Pleasure of Life”

Rating – 3.5 out of 5

“STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS.” Being a big foodie, desserts are a favorite and are a must have in my food list. Cakes at Theatre Road is one of my favorite confectionaries place. I prefer it over Kookie Jar as they deliver the same quality at much more honest prices, a fact that is clearly visible if you go to both these side-by-side outlets during school give-over time!

Cakes at Theatre Road serve desserts, bakery and fast food, and is one of the best and the most popular confectionaries in the city. The place is very spacious and serves yummy bakes. They have polite and friendly staff with nice interior décor.

I love the cakes they make and always order my birthday cake from Cakes. I love the truffle cake they make as it melts in my mouth and has a rich taste. But you can also try their mango cake and fudge cake. They also make special birthday cakes in the form of comic characters, whether it’s chubby, lazy Garfield or mischievous Tom and Jerry. There cakes are smooth and have a heavenly taste and I never got tired of eating them. You also get a variety of chocolates and breads there. Their lemon tart, nut square and chocolate boat are a must have.

The non-vegetarian items they serve are also nice. Their chicken and mushroom patties, quiches and sandwiches taste really nice. The Turkish chicken pizza and the chicken focaccia are also good.

The cookies which they make are all right – you can get better elsewhere. The same goes for their Chocolate Brownies and Chocó Ganache.

Cakes have maintained their standard really well over the years, and give you no place for complaints. It is an absolutely delightful place which serves value for money. A must visit for all dessert lovers.

“Open Oven – A Decent Bakery With Fair Prices”

My last visit to Camac Street introduced me to the King of bakery and desserts there called The Open Oven. They make excellent desserts at decent prices. Their cakes are fresh and delicious. It is one of the better bakeries in town.

It is a nice place with polite and courteous staff. The ambience is just like any other bakery. They serve good desserts just like their namesake in Delhi.

After I came to know about Open Oven, Kolkata, I order cakes on all occasions here. I have become a big fan of their cakes and frequently visit this place. This is by far the most pocket friendly bakery I have ever visited.

Their Chocolate truffle cake and Butterscotch cake are undoubtedly the crown jewels of this confectionary shop. The truffle cake easily melts in your mouth giving a rich heavenly taste of pure chocolate. Being a die- hard chocolate fan, it suits my palate perfectly. The texture of this cake is very smooth and the chocolate truffle cream is heavenly. A hint of bitterness in the butterscotch cake along with their amazing icing decor adds a compliment to its taste.

The other cake options available there like Black Forest Gateaux, Chocolate cake, Coffee gateaux etc, are also popular though I have not tried them yet. In the pastries section, I am a big fan of their Black forest Pastry. Their chocolate truffle tart is also good.

Their chicken quiche and chicken croissant sandwich are exceptionally good and great for tea time or later in the evening. Their paneer pattie and Lebanese roll are also fresh and well prepared.

Pretty much everything I have tried I liked. They also have pretty decent prices when compared to other bakeries.

Enjoy natural frozen desserts from New Zealand

Rating: 3 out of 5

Just opposite the Golpark Post Office, New Zealand Natural Ice Cream is really one of best dessert parlours in South Kolkata and offers some super smooth, rich and creamy ice creams. A great place to hang out with your friends, according to me this place is a much better option to hang out at for younger crowds than some of the popular air conditioned cafeterias that have cropped up around it.

New Zealand Natural Ice Cream offers a wide variety of options of ice-creams featuring some innovative culinary artistry. A few weeks back, I was there with my friends and was swayed by their awesome selection of ice creams. Though I try not to eat ice creams too often due to health reasons, I sampled a few spoons of their Maple Walnut, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Mocha Almond Fudge and Kiwi Pavlova. Kiwi Pavlova was the flavour for me. They serve their ice creams in a beautiful way to give a visual treat to your eyes as well as taste buds. The ice creams are very creamy with a rich texture and feel smooth on the tongue. Another thing that is a must try here is their sizzling brownie sundae, which is so chocolaty and creamy that you will not want to share it with anyone.

Their service is quite prompt. This is a small parlour with a pleasing ambience that goes perfectly with a place like this. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but when you get quality you should be prepared to pay more for it.

Must Go to Yogo!

Rating: 3 out of 5

For a long time I have been planning to get some flavoured yoghurt – I almost never get to eat frozen dessert and avoid them as I am very prone to catching a cold. I got this opportunity yesterday when I was on my way home from B.K. Market. I stepped into Yogo, which has recently opened at Nilamber Building on Shakespeare Sarani. I have visited Yoforia on Loudon Street a couple of times but had not eaten at Yogo yet.

The interiors are bright and quite appealing for a dessert store like this but the place is definitely not spacious. Though the place claims to provide a dine-in option, it is practically not possible to accommodate more than a few people here. However, when you are in a store like this, it is better to ignore such minor issues and concentrate on wares displayed here with a wide range of tempting toppings. I was unsure about what to choose for my frozen yoghurt (along with toppings) and was amazed at their service. The person at the counter was so helpful that he guided me through every step to get my order placed. 10 different flavors of yoghurt are available - I tried their vanilla. Various other fruity flavors are available; however, the most interesting thing is that whichever flavor you choose, you have to pay only 65p/gram, which is quite impressive considering the prices charged by many of its competitors.

Now, coming to the toppings, the range is vast with over 30 options, from which I chose kiwi, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, almonds, raisins and Oreo. The froyo creation was a marvelous treat for my eyes and sweet tooth as well. The real fruits mixed with this frozen dairy product are a real treat for your taste buds. This is a delightful value-for-money dessert place that gives real joy to your mind and soul.

Some titbits at The Street @ The Park!

Rating: 4 out of 5

Eating yummy sandwiches and hotdogs with a pint of wine in a plush hotel is a delightful experience in its own right. You feel relaxed and invigorated as the light music playing in the background transports you to a different world, and this is the reason why I would head to The Street at The Park if I wanted to relax after a hectic day. The dimly lit interiors (the only source of light being classy LEDs), the plush décor and the chequered flooring are a unique combination. The place boasts of many street food counters, each offering something special.

I must say that places like The Street have modernized the concept of making and serving street food. The place is spotlessly clean and food is served in the most hygienic way. Here, you can savour a wide assortment of vintage wines and beer with a selection of some of the best wines in the country. Whenever I’m at The Street I prefer flaming fajita wrap (a yummy delicacy of fiery chicken and pepper wrapped in a tortilla), dodger dog (special hot dog with bacon, salsa, grilled onion, jalapenos) or mush puppy (served with cheddar melt, grilled mushrooms and pepper) with a glass of terzas altocab sauvignon blanc (Argentinean wine) or nivole moscato d'asti mischele chiarlo. It’s a heavenly experience!

One can settle for melon apple and ginger juice or a cappuccino along with mushroom and spinach crepes, stewed seasonal fruit pancakes or golden waffles if they’re looking for a snack. This luxurious eatery has excellent seating arrangements so you will not be left standing in a corner with your munchies and wine. Drop in here once for some of the best international street food in the city!

Mama Mia – Not the same it used to be!

Rating: 1 out of 5

As I have a sweet tooth, I used to just head for any Mama Mia! outlet in Kolkata. If I remember, Mama Mia! has total seven outlets in Kolkata but my favourite hang-out joint is the one at Park Street near Music World.

What I love about Mama Mia! is the way their desserts are served to customers- the very sight of a gelato ice cream or sundae is just so irresistible. I have almost lost count the number of times I have eaten here over the years. Sadly the quality has really gone down. The last time we were here we tried some Tropical Fruit Burst (a succulent assortment of exotic tropical fruit topped with French Vanilla gelato and whipped cream), double chocolate twist (a yummilicious dessert made from Belgian chocolate mousse and accompanied with gelato [whichever one you want] and drizzled with chocolate sauce) and cafe mocha – none of them tasted nice at all except the double chocolate twist (no surprise there!).

Apart from the above, I have also tasted their other chocolate delicacies (being a great chocolate fan myself). I liked their muddy lava cake (a hot gooey mud cake with “chocolate lava" at the centre). You can have it with your choice of gelato. I did not like their chocolate overload (warm mud pie served with hot fudge, nuts, cream and your choice of gelato) as well as their sizzling brownies & gelato.

I would suggest – don’t visit this place unless you are a die-hard fan of their desserts. There are many better options out there these days.

D-Oh! Boy, I love you…

I have tasted donuts at various cafes and dessert shops but what D-Oh! Boy has served me is just amazing. I am sure if D-Oh! Boy had not been there, Kolkata would have never seen or tasted such a wide variety of incredibly awesome donuts. D-Oh! Boy, a cozy little store at 25/1, Shakespeare Sarani, Kolkata is a wonderful place for me to enjoy a donut party with friends. The first time when I was there, I was just awe-struck to see so many kinds of donuts at their counter with different types of toppings and color. The only phrase that I utter was, “My God!”

I soon placed my order considering the beauty of each type of donuts. My order included White Chocolate with Raspberry, Hazelnut Whirlpool and Cheezilicious. My God! Each bite was too good. So soft, juicy and yummy! It smoothly melted inside the mouth leaving a warm creamy flavor for the taste buds. Though donuts have a hole at their center but these donuts at D-Oh! Boy never burn a hole in your pocket while giving a amazing treat to your tummy and mind. After this first visit, D-Oh! Boy has impressed me so much that I have become a frequent visitor at this place. Apart from these three types of donuts, Deep Dark Desire and Black Forest have also swayed me away a number of times.

Apart from these super soft delicious donuts, D-Oh! Boy is also expert in quenching my thirst with its refreshing beverages. Creamy Chocolate, Crunchy Kitkat and Oreo Time are some of my favorite options here. Sandwiches at D-Oh! Boy are well known as D-Oh! Wiches and each type of these veg sandwiches are also great combination to complement the sweet taste of the donuts. If you are there anytime, at least don’t miss the heavenly opportunity to taste the flavor and softness of their Deep Dark Desire and White Chocolate with Raspberry donuts combined with a Crunchy Kitkat shake if you can handle all that sweetness!
