Plum cake is best in town.
Amazing plum cakes, a must try. Conveniently located... and very friendly staff... totally value for money... best place for a quick snack .
must try the bread here nd dont miss their apple cake. its legendary........................................................................
This is one of iconic bakeries in Bangalore. What I liked the most is they priced items in reasonable range. You get apple pie for 90Rs. Its one of few places that still makes it. They have variety of bakery items. I really enjoyed this place. If I had to say one negative thing about this place, it would be service. You have to stand for long time for the people to serve. But that's not a big deal.
Simple, humble and beautiful is what I would describe this bakery. Been having the plum cake since 10-15 years. Every December I would pay a visit without fail.
Landmark of Frazer town with history.
Still gives vibes of a simple bakery with regular tasty bakery items ( puffs, rolls, breads etc). Famous for its iconic plum cake.
I remember vaguely , reading about this bakery somewhere, so when I was crossing this place I quickly recognized. However , parking right opposite was not possible hence we went a little ahead , only I got down. The moment you get inside , you know you are in a place which has stood the test of time , proudly.
There were so many options of bread , cookies and for that price - I wondered if I had time travelled.
Picked up a flower shaped bread, an eclair, a custard cookie 🍪 & packet of macarons all for INR 78.

The sugar donut is the best hariyali chicken bun worth it
Didn't get to meet Santa Claus? No big deal! Christmas isn't the same without their plum cakes.The best plum cake I have tasted. It has everything - rum, plums (what more do you need?)
One of the oldest bakers around Cox Town. Plum cake during Christmas and new year is Their specialty🥪 love the place for all their products. Do visit to relish the taste of their plum cake
For over 20 years now our family always buys the Rich Plum Cakes. It's the best I have ever had, nothing comes close and we have tried all the popular ones. This cake will always be special - taste has been consistent over the years. My childhood will always be sweeter with these memories.
This cake is moist, wonderful blend of spices and sweetness as well. An event I look forward to every Christmas time.
Bangalore, once a Garrison centre during the Britishers, is dotted with excellent bakeries. Especially during Xmas, along with the colours and lights that brighten up homes and streets, there also wafts into the air, the delicate aromas of the the special Christmas cakes. Many Anglo Indian and Mangalore Christians, have still preserved the family secrets of these most delicious cakes. But these are for their family functions and parties.
If you want to celebrate with large gatherings, Thomsons Bakery is the place.
During the month December, they bake them in thousands. And sell them as fast as they bake them. It is absolutely the best Christmas cakes on such a large scale. With care they can be stored safely for over 6 months.
Their single pieces, carefully wrapped, with cream or without are excellent for any occasions.
It is open through the year.
Go for it!!!

I revisited Thompson's Bakery in December 2021 to buy cakes. Nothing much has changed and it looks just the same as when I visited it last in December, 2020. I additionally learned that Thompson's plum cakes will last upto 2 months without going bad. The standard store packing is strong and good enough to give to a courier as it is, without additional packing.

Nice little place but old. Their main product appears to be "Rich Plum Cake," as there is plenty of it in the store and little of anything else! But, maybe, I found it like that because it was Christmas season when I visited it. Their plum cake seems to be famous all over South India and I was buying one to send as a gift to a family friend in Chennai who had specifically requested it. Although an "ancient" bakery in Bangalore, it's just a small single room. Also please remember that there's no parking place nearby.
