3. Feuilletine Pull Me, Bastian
We love desserts that put on a great show. Especially when the aftermath is warm and rich chocolate drenched over a creamy mousse and soft chocolate sponge. Bastain offers a velvety delight that will not only have your cameras clicking but will have you licking the spoons crystal clean. The menu says it serves four but well, we recommend you take that suggestion as lightly as you take the terms and conditions before clicking agree to all!
📍Multiple locations at Bandra, Worli and Shivaji Park
4. Spanish Hot Chocolate, Chocolateria San Churro
A thick creamy pour of hot chocolate paired with a flaky buttery croissant is as good as your day is going to get. Chocolateria San Churro excels when it comes to Spanish desserts and you can never go wrong with their cup of classic Spanish hot chocolate. You can also try their crunchy churros dipped in a creamy chocolate sauce and if you want to thank us after the first bite, you know where to find us.

5. Tiramisu, Americano
A silky, rum-soaked dessert with a crunchy chocolate disc, Americano’s Tiramisu is easily one of the best we have had in the city. Break through the ciphered disc and a spoonful of this decadent coffee-flavoured dessert will have you swooning all through the evening.
📍Kala Ghoda, Fort
6. Chocolate Chip Cookies, Indigo Deli
Freshly baked stacks of cookies in Indigo Deli are one of the best desserts you can grapple for in Mumbai. Brought straight from the oven to your table, order them well in advance. This is to ensure that you do not have to wait for long to sink your teeth into these chewy soft delights. Although the cookies here come in various options, we always recommend our favourite classic chocolate chip cookies.
📍Colaba
7. Belgian Chocolate San Sebastian Cheesecake, Breve
Serving the most luxuriously creamy slice, Breve’s cheesecake is- and attested by locals- one of the best in Mumbai. This velvety heaven will have such a hook on you that you will see yourself frequenting this spot more so often. I am guilty yet never sorry.

8. Butterscotch Crunch Cake, Cafe Coffee Day
I will never stop advocating for this heavenly pound of creamy delicacy, served best right out of the refrigerator. With a crunchy butterscotch layer on top of a soft chocolate cake, you will find layers of rich cream sneaking in as you cut yourself a big slice. I’m not going to lie but I have run through the entire box in just one day.

This viral sweet treat from the makers of one of Asia’s best restaurant Masque, is an absolute must-try.

You can try the churro cube croissant and the black forest croissant here for a delightful treat.

10. Crack Nut Pie, Ellipsis Bakery
Cookie crusts slathered with sweet and salty chocolaty filling and topped off with candied nuts taste just as good as it looks. Mind you they serve huge slices with really rich flavours so we recommend saving your appetite before indulging in this delicious pie.
