NOMAD: Age old bakeries still thrive all over India

Nowrojee General Merchants shop, set up in 1860, welcomes you with an antique - slightly moth-eaten - set of cookies next to the wooden entrance. This low lit desolate structure immediately takes you back in time, to an era where posters were still hand-painted and the furniture still Victorian.
Sadly, their chocolate cookies and delicious cream pastries failed to compete with newly built commercial shops and Nowrojee drifted out of solvency. 
Nevertheless, the first thing that greets each tourist in McLeodganj is this bakery which has now been turned into a tiny museum. You can still buy biscuits from here that were the rage of that time.

Located opposite hotel Taj Banjara and in the old city's Mozamjahi Market, Karachi Bakery excels in mouth watering biscuits, especially those that come in fruity flavours.

Established in 1952 by Mr Khanchand Ramnani, this bakery remains the most sought after in the city of nawabs.It is always bustling with people of all age groups, who chat and savour their delectable sugar-sprinkled cookies.

The cakes on special demand are unbelievably tempting but an overload of cream sometimes spoils the fun. The bakery was once housed in a 200ft shop. Now it is a swanky showroom with branches across the city; a journey that is worth remembering.

German Bakery

Cakes, pies, coffee, good music, and a warm place to park yourself when it is freezing outside. Their chocolate brownies are divine - fresh, soft and delicious. My favourite dish : the apple pies. A glass of juice/milkshake to go with it and the trip just gets better with the scenic landscape and surrounding apple orchards only adding to the experience. The eatables do not disappoint unless it is your unlucky day and you happen to get a stale pastry. The German Bakery also has a reputation for being a place you will find brilliant conversation, if not a relationship.
