The Holy Trifecta
It isn’t every day that you take some time off for yourself, grab one of your favourite buddies to hit the most bustling street in South Mumbai, shop till you drop (quite literally) and then treat yourself to chocolate heaven. For those of you who are familiar with the inner workings of the mystic land of pretty earrings and thrifty slippers aka Colaba Causeway, you’re probably also familiar with the tiny but vibrant home of wonderful brownies aka Theobroma.
Raging since 2004, Theo’s (as it is popularly known) is your one stop destination for all sweet cravings, specially brownies. Theo’s is owned and managed by a Parsi Family and if you frequent this place, you will definitely find the family members being actively involved with all the activities. This bakery which has now expanded to various cities was first stationed at this iconic outlet at Colaba Causeway. The décor is cosy, comfortable and absolutely adorable! At any given point, this joint is bustling with all kinds of people right from tourists to families, friends to coworkers, lovers to long lost mates, you’ll find them all. So what is it that sets this charming little bakery from its counterparts?
Undoubtedly, the quality of cakes, brownies, cupcakes and cookies served here is a notch above several joints that I have tried with the winner being their signature brownies. Over many visits, I have had the opportunity to try multiple items off their menu but here are my top three brownie recommendations:
Cookie Brownie
What could one possibly love more than cookie dough? Perhaps a Cookie Brownie from Theo’s? With a thick layer of cookie dough intertwined with large chunks of chocolate and a soft chocolate centre, Cookie Brownie is a gem of creation by Theobroma.
Overload Brownie
If you’re a hardcore, no nonsense, chocolate lover then this is the brownie for you. Topped with a crunchy layer of chocolate and gooey center of soft brownie, Overload Brownie will melt in your mouth.
Millionaire Brownie
One of the signature brownies of Theo’s is a delight for a die-hard molten chocolate fan. It is a soft brownie covered with a generous helping of molten chocolate.
Whether it’s a random craving for sinful pleasure or a celebration of any achievement, Theobroma pretty much has something...

Read moreAs someone who values authenticity and transparency, it's disheartening to discover that Theobroma Cake Shop has resorted to paying for fake reviews. Upon closer inspection, it's evident that many of the glowing testimonials online are not genuine but rather manufactured to artificially inflate the shop's reputation.
It's a shame because, at first glance, Theobroma's cakes seem promising. However, the integrity of their business practices comes into question when they resort to such deceptive tactics. As consumers, we deserve honesty and genuine feedback to make informed decisions about where to spend our money.
I urge Theobroma Cake Shop to reconsider their approach and focus on delivering quality products and services that speak for themselves. Authenticity should be the cornerstone of any business, and resorting to paid reviews only undermines trust and credibility.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Theobroma Cake Shop due to their unethical practice of soliciting fake reviews. I encourage fellow consumers to exercise caution and seek out businesses that prioritize integrity and honesty...
