While Thindi Beedi in VV Puram draws foodies for its street food scene, no trip to the popular Basavanagudi street would be complete without stopping by the iconic VB Bakery. Started way back in 1953 by Thirumalachar, this humble store, located right at the beginning of Thindi Beedi, has stood the test of time and how. In fact, it is touted to have kickstarted the trend of Iyengar bakeries!

Head here during the evening and you’ll see the place crowded with customers from all walks from life. Think kids accompanying parents to pick out their favourite cakes, regulars jostling to get their pack of bread for the day, youngsters munching on a snack or older folks standing by and discussing current affairs. Confused about what to try? Well, we suggest multiple trips to make most of their goodies. Apart from usual suspects like puffs and samosas, the bakery’s signature snack would be the Khara Bun Congress (KBC - their own invention, in fact), khara bun slathered with butter and stuffed with Congress kadlekai. The Potato Bun and the relatively new Cheese-Corn Spinach Stuffed Buns are other crowd favourites, we hear.

Got a sweet tooth? There’s plenty here to sort you out. We’re fans of their super-soft Honey Cake and the delicious Apple Cake. While the Fruit Cake and Pineapple Cake here have quite a few takers, make sure to stock up on their crumbly Butter Biscuits, Coconut Cookies and rusks to go with your evening chai. While you’re at it, do pack some of their puff of the day; they make a different kind every day, you see. Whether it’s to binge on the fare here or try their KBC with a side of old-world charm, VB Bakery is a must-visit among old-school joints in the ooru
