Coffee And Croissants: A French Experience!

Joey doesn’t share food, and nor do we! Food is not just a necessity of life. For foodies, it goes beyond just a way to sustain life. We maintain a lavish and extravagant affair with our food and do not want to share the last slice of cake or the last sip of coffee. We daydream about having an extra cheese pizza, a hot chocolate brownie or a creamy cup of espresso- just thinking about these is making my mouth water! With our growing and diverse tastes and preferences, the cafe culture in India has also taken new dimensions.

When Cafe Coffee Day came to India in 1996, it triggered a revolution and ever since coffee shops started flourishing everywhere. The fuel which drove this revolution in the food and cafe culture in India is primarily the status quo. People want an exclusive experience along with a cozy vibe. The growing middle class, brand awareness and creative ads are all push factors in deciding our food behavior. Not to forget, we want Instagram-worthy food and cafes which would leave everyone in awe. Compared to earlier generations, who would look out for cafes to relax or have conversations, the 21st-century millennials are driven more towards diversity of food, ambiance, and decor. To match up to the expectations of their consumers, new-age cafes have also adapted very well, giving a state-of-the-art experience for people walking in.

With a shift in consumer preferences serving as a great impetus for cafes in India, it was about time that newer cuisines were introduced, offering more options to choose from. I think this led to the opening of this brand new French pastry shop near me, in the heart of Delhi, also known as Connaught Place. Bustling with more than 100 cafes, CP is the most popular spot for people from all age groups. Hence it was quite natural for Brioche Doree, an urban bakery offering a menu full of French food by culinary experts, to open their first-ever Indian outlet in CP. This boulangerie is spread over two spacious and luminous floors in CP’s M Block and has been captivating its audience ever since it opened. A sweet paradise for dessert lovers who are looking for a Parisian experience, this place was the best French pastry shop I could find near me!

Brioche Doree was initially opened in 1976, in Brest, France. Founded by Louis Le Duff who’s now the president of Groupe Le Duff, this chain is now the second-largest bakery in the world and serves more than 200,000 customers every day. This famed French bakery now serves authentic French delicacies across 50 countries, and has made it to India finally in a vegetarian avatar. The whole ambiance of this place is alluring and the cozy vibe it exudes is irresistible. Their ground floor is adorned with choicest pastries, flaky croissants and other French desserts, which will leave you craving for more!

I discovered this cafe just a few days back, as I looked upon the internet for french pastry shops near me, and this cafe popped up. I went through their website and was delighted to see the variety of food they were offering. I also figured out that they offer 25% discount on all cakes and pastries when you walk-in between 8-11pm. So I immediately made a plan with my friend, who’s a foodie like me and loves to explore new places. We ordered their famous French baguette with brie, almond croissants and a cup of cappuccino. We loved the croissant, they preserved the French taste very well. The soft and cream-filled croissants definitely brightened up my mood and I had a great time with my friend. The friendly staff and the lovely ambiance of the place added to its overall charm. Definitely going back to this place, for more savory delights!
