Variar Bakery (JP Nagar Branch)

Variar Bakery is a legendary institution in Bengaluru, and its JP Nagar outlet near Ranga Shankara carries forward the rich tradition of Iyengar-style baking. For decades, this bakery has been the daily stop for thousands of residents who line up for their fresh, oven-hot goodies. The aroma of baking bread and melting butter that wafts onto the street is their best advertisement. They are most famous for their "Vegetable Puffs," which feature a flaky, crispy golden crust filled with a spicy, flavorful potato mix—a snack that defines Bangalore nostalgia. Their "Honey Cake," soaked in syrup and topped with jam and coconut, is a bestseller that sells out by evening. Unlike modern patisseries, Variar Bakery focuses on classic, preservative-free items like plain bread, rusk, and salt butter biscuits that are perfect for dipping in chai. The bakery maintains impeccable hygiene and high turnover, ensuring that everything you buy is baked fresh that very day. Affordable, delicious, and consistent, Variar Bakery is not just a shop; it is an emotion for the people of JP Nagar.
