The Best Bakeries of Lahore in 2020

You’ve had a fulfilling dinner but still, feel like something is missing? Yeah, that is your sweet tooth telling you to get something deliciously sweet, and tasty! Those who love sweet dishes find excuses to have desserts, and I am included in the category. I think your mood can considerably improve with a dessert! The fact that desserts usually look delightful also make them a great candidate for posting on your social media! If you are busy or can’t go down to the bakeries for one reason or another, you can always use a third-party service to order food online in Lahore. 

In addition to desserts, bread, croissants and other baked goods are something most people enjoy. Lahore is known for having the best desi food in the country but not too much for its desserts and bakeries. So, the first time I came to the city, I was a little lost on where I can buy a cake for celebrating my best friend’s birthday and which bakery would be optimal for purchasing bread for my daily use. After a few months here, I think I’ve managed to check out all the famous bakeries in the city and come up with a list of the best bakeries in the city:

Jalal Sons: 

You can get a considerable range of bakery items here. From croissants to bread, to sandwiches, to sweets, to cakes to pizzas, you’ll find everything under Jalal Sons’ roof. They bring in new, fresh stock every day so you can be assured of getting fresh goods from the place. Their pastries are also to die for! Be sure to try chocolate fudge pastry there because this item, I believe, is worth driving hours for! They also offer customized cakes at a very affordable price.

Ganache: 

Ganache’s desserts and cakes are well known in Lahore. The quality and flavour of their bakery items are so good that they have hundreds of loyal customers who directly come to Ganache for baked goods. You will find doughnuts, cupcakes, pastries, macarons, cookies, croissants, cakes and every imaginable bakery item here. They specialize in creating customized cupcakes and cakes so if you want to celebrate someone’s birthday in style, be sure to order their cake from Ganache! 

Bread and Beyond:

With franchises all across Lahore, Bread and Beyond is a household name in Lahore. They are known for creating artisan breads and delicious, baked treats that not only taste great but are a treat for the eyes too! You can order online, and they will deliver your selected items to your home within a few minutes. All their products are of superior quality and thus a favourite of many. They bring in fresh items every day and therefore is a very trustable bakery in the city. 

Cakes & Bakes: 

With a booming 4.2 rating on google, it’s clear that Cakes & Bakes is a fan favourite in Lahore. The well-maintained bakery is great to shop for freshly baked items. The expiry date of each item is mentioned with bold font on each item. From bread to cakes, to croissants, to pizzas, you can get everything here. During the summer, their “Ice Slush” is a try-must! I’ve tried three flavours- mango, orange and strawberry and all of them were great! 

Nirala Sweets:

With a total of 22 stores across Pakistan and 15 in Lahore, Nirala Sweets is a pretty renowned bakery. In fact, there are two stores in UAE too! Nirala sweets are known for the top quality mithai it sells. Other confectionery and dairy products are also available here. Moreover, selected outlets also serve traditional breakfasts consisting of halwa, puri, chutneys and lassi.
