As I walk through the doors of OG Varier & Sons, a wave of nostalgia envelops me. This bakery holds a special place in my heart, being the place where my father used to take me when I was a child. Fast forward almost 35 years, and it still remains my personal favourite. OG Varier & Sons has consistently maintained the quality of their products over the years, and it's a testament to their dedication and passion for baking.
The moment I step inside, I am greeted with the familiar aroma of freshly baked treats. The warmth of the place and the friendly smiles of the staff make me feel right at home. Despite the constant stream of customers, the staff manages the bustling crowd with ease, ensuring efficient service without compromising on friendliness.
One of the main reasons I keep coming back is because of their classic delights that have stood the test of time. Their butter biscuit, coconut biscuit, and milk biscuit have the same delightful taste as they did when I was a child. Each bite takes me back to those cherished moments with my dad, creating a beautiful blend of taste and memories.
The sponge cake deserves a special mention. Soft, moist, and delicately sweet, it simply melts in your mouth. Whether it's for a celebration or just a treat to yourself, their sponge cake has always been my go-to choice.
While OG Varier & Sons have maintained their traditional favorites, they have also embraced innovation by introducing new products. Despite these additions, the bakery manages to preserve its identity and charm, which is something I truly appreciate.
However, no visit to OG Varier & Sons would be complete without indulging in their legendary veg puffs. The flaky pastry filled with a delectable mixture of vegetables is a heavenly delight for any snack lover. It's no wonder they are highly sought-after, and I find myself craving their puffs quite often.
In conclusion, OG Varier & Sons is not just a bakery; it's a treasure trove of cherished memories and delightful treats. Their unwavering commitment to quality and the warm atmosphere created by the staff make every visit a delightful experience. As the years pass, I am confident that this wonderful bakery will continue to be a beacon of deliciousness and nostalgia for generations to come. If you're looking for a bakery that never disappoints, OG Varier & Sons is the...

Read moreI was skeptical at the beginning, thanks to all the hype this bakery has garnered and most often places with a lot of hype rarely live up to it. This one is an exception though. I could only try the plum cake , the salted butter cookies and the jaggery cookies.
The plum cake - not your traditional Kerala style dark plum cake but a milder tasting plum cake with subtle flavor of spice and loaded with nuts, raisins and fruits. It was mild tasting but still had a depth in its taste. Enjoyed every bite of it. At 190 for 250 gm, this was a steal.
The salted butter cookies - the best I've had in Bangalore. It's a simple cookie but tastes so different from what you get even in the best Iyengar bakery.
Jaggery cookies - again this one just made my day... Just the right sweetness, depth of taste from the jaggery and there's a hint of ghee I think that I could smell.
I would rate it 5/5 but the customer experience is quite poor I would say. It wasn't that crowded when I went and I was expecting to take my time, have a good look and then buy everything that struck my fancy. Unfortunately there is hardly any place to walk around the counter, as you have to move along a line that is barricaded and you have to decide really quick what you want... Otherwise the person inside the counter who's following you around (yes they have about 15 staff inside, one for each customer) will make a face and then you just quickly shout out what you need and before you can change your mind it's all packed and ready and the person's sticking out their hand for your card. It was an underwhelming experience because I had travelled a long distance to get there only to quickly pick up the first 3...
