Elma’s Bakery

Stepping into Elam’s feels like walking into a vintage English tea party — complete with floral china and charming Victorian decor. First opened in Hauz Khas back in 2011, the’ve now moved their original HKV spot to GK2 and it’s safe to say Delhiites are still obsessed with their desserts and breakfast (yes, they serve one of the best English breakfasts in town). Their red velvet cake is basically the blueprint and don’t even get us started on their scones and clotted cream. Whether you’re here for their dainty desserts or just for the ‘gram, Elma’s totally delivers.

If dessert was a religion, Theobrama would be the holy grail — no cap! This Mumbai-born legend has officially taken over Delhi with its fudgy brownies, indulgent pastries and buttery croissants. Our personal favs? The Pound Cake, Dense Loaf and the lip-smaking pineapple cake/pastry (pineapple can be elite, please!). Oh, and don’t skip the hot chocolate in winters!

BreadTalk

Tried BreadTalk for the first time in Singapore and, not gonna lie, it became my breakfast and dinner staple for all four days. From their savoury buns to their iconic Floss Buns, I simply couldn’t get over them. Singapore's cult-favourite has now landed in Delhi, bringing with it the same flaky, fluffy and fabulous bakes. BreadTalk is all about unique textures and full-on international dessert feels. Try their melt-in-the-mouth cheesecake and you’ll totally get the hype.

L'Opéra

Paris might be a bit overrated, but it’s still the icon when it comes to love, fashion, and desserts. If you’ve watched Chef Cedric Grolet’s reels on loop and secretly dream of trying his creations, L’Opéra is your closest shot without a passport. No, we’re not saying it’s Cedric-level (he’s the G.O.A.T), but this bakery comes pretty close to capturing that French patisserie magic. Think crisp macarons, buttery cookies, and tarts so pretty they deserve their own spotlight. Perfect for a luxe coffee date or a solo treat-yourself moment.

If you’re into desserts that look IG perfect and taste like Masterchef specials then Latoya is a must try. The cafe-restaurant hybrid has a comfortable vibe with a whimsy and luxe setting. But what stole our hearts is their chilli chocolate situation that is visually stunning and equal parts delicious. Imagine a molten lava cake-style presentation with a spicy edge. You’ll definitely want to record your first bite experience, so keep your cameras ready.

Chocolateria San Churro

If you don’t know about San Churro or haven’t heard of their hot chocolate yet, then we hope the rock you’re living under is a pile of desserts. Chocolateria San Churro in GK 2 is all about decadent Spanish-style desserts and lip-smacking food. But what stole our hearts is their hot chocolate, which you can consider a meal in itself. Yeah, it's that thick that you have to eat it with a spoon. Fair warning: it’s not something everyone would like to indulge in. Of course, there are also churros, crisp cinnamon-dusted sticks of fried goodness.

We’re sure most of you love Swan for its food and the breathtaking rooftop view of the Qutub Minar, however, it’s their dessert menu that truly shines for us. The menu blends Japanese with Italian influence and the result is some of the most exotic delicacies we could find. Their cream tiramisu is an LBB favourite, and the velvety chocolate fondants are just as good. You can pair your dessert with a good cappuccino or one of their signature cocktails.

Zuru Zuru is a Japanese-inspired eatery and has only one dessert on its menu. If you're wondering that why are they on this list of "dessert places," that's because the one dessert they is so good, they absolutely nail it.

Both of them are super jiggly, almost too cute to not stuff your face with it.

Gurgaon’s best-kept secret when it comes to dessert, Mjöl Bake House has simple yet elevated baking. The name takes after its Nordic root (Mjöl means ‘flour’ in Swedish).
