This really is a great bakery, close to the only one of it's kind in Thrissur. I am a US citizen who moved to Thrissur in 2017, and one of the things I really missed was a place to buy western type baked goods. Navya's appearance a couple of years ago made a huge difference.
Their cakes and pastries are very good, sometimes exceptional. They are very reasonably priced; some of their items are cheaper than I could make on my own. Eg, the cheesecake, which is a legit US type cheesecake using expensive ingredients. There is no way I could buy cream cheese (or even make it myself) and make the same amount of cheesecake for the amount of money that they charge for their product, which is excellent.
Their pastry chef is clearly experienced in many different styles/regional specialties. One of the ways you can tell that someone knows that they are doing is their skill with items that seem (but are not) relatively simple, like the croissants and cinnamon buns at Navya. In both cases, the results are simultaneously perfectly flaky and tender, misleadingly simple items which require real technical skills, great ingredients, and a good head pastry chef, which this shop definitely has.
Definitely recommend for lots of reasons. Not for the occasional belt-loosening...

Β Β Β Read moreExtremely arrogant, rude, uncourteous and insensitive staff/management. My 6 year old daughter wanted a particular pastry, but it was available only at Navya Patisserie, it wasn't there in Navya Z'st Bistro (Patisserie and Z'st Bistro are literally seperated by a door). So we bought it from the Patisserie and then went to Z'st Bistro as my wife wanted to eat spring rolls from there. While waiting for spring rolls, my 6 year old wanted to eat her pastry as she was badly craving for it. Z'st Bistro waiter and manager denied the same stating Navya Management policy of not allowing food from Patisserie or Kokki in Z'st Bistro. What annoyed us is the fact that Z'st Bistro also serves pastry and what my daughter wanted to have was also a pastry from the same kitchen (just that it is bought next door). She was not trying to eat any alien food. Well, technically they upheld their policy, but it was an extremely poor experience for me and my family. @Navya management- It is an experience industry, today you have alienated 4 of us, tomorrow it could be many more. Arrogance and insensitivity is not good in experience...
