A nice quaint cafe at the heart of the city. If you are in the famed "office para" but you want to escape the din and bustle, then this is the place to be. Loved the coffee, the cheesy buttery croissant and the red velvet cake was to die for
Sexy ambience wow and a peaceful place will recommend to every1 cheers
This place came highly recommended for its sliced brown bread which I can second is pretty decent. The interiors of exposed brick and iron gives the place an old school vibe which is further accentuated by the various relics (posters, old school oven, etc) on display. The place also boast an enclosed yet light filled beer garden, of sorts. The cakes and pasties that we tried were also pretty good. Had the opportunity to chat with Chef Neeraj who was super professional and informative.
Wonderful ambience. Never too crowded on weekdays. But the taste loses out to lesser known or smaller bakery brands. In the past 1 month, I have tried their brownie, butterscotch pastry and red velvet cake. Too sweet, too hard or lowest layer too moist. Something wasn't right each time. Red velvet lacked the tangy flavour and was too sweet. Ditto with their cheesecake. I eat cheesecakes for the flavour and excess sugar ruins a good dessert. I had a similar complaint in 2019, but clearly the bakery recipes haven't changed in these 3 years. Honestly, for someone with fairly good baking skills, I feel The Lalit should do better!! The ambience deserves 5 stars.
A heritage bakery set in the heart of Kolkata. The bakery is adjacent to the larger hotel. Recommend that you visit the Bakery early morning for a sip of hot coffee and freshly baked chicken puffs.
You will go inside the place with a body of 50 kgs and come out with a body of 60 kgs (theoretically).
Yupp you heard it right, the ambience and the pastries here will make you eat till eternity lasts (here eternity means your wallet).
Superb fluffy pastries.
Loved the ambience.
And the service too.
Do give it a visit if you are looking for a good cafe to chill. Please visit during the happy hours i.e from 5 pm to 8 on to avail 50% on selected items like alochol, patties and desserts.
The Bakery is oldest bakery in Kolkata & serves great food.
Pastries are great to have and varieties are mesmerizing.
Not only pastries, Fish & Chips and Burgers are great as well.
Bakery serves special fruit cakes & plum cakes during Christmas try that out if in Kolkata at that time.
One of the most unique bakeries I have even seen... It has a history that is talked about by everyone and for me, personally, it was great!👌
The Bakery - The Lalit Great Eastern has an amazing old world charm that will mesmerize you for sure.
They make delicious desserts and good Darjeeling tea. The must order items are - Belgium Chocolate Pastry (Best in the town), Carrot Cake, Pineapple Pastry and Vanilla Muffins.
Also, they offer flat 50% discounts on takeaways after 6pm. It's difficult to get a better deal, trust me.
Service - Good. Can be better.
Price - Reasonable.
Absolutely Recommended!

Picked up the best pies in Kolkata.
This bakery is located at the extension of The Lalit Great Eastern Hotel(earlier known as the Wilson's Hotel).
One would think that the cost attached to a 5 star hotel would touch the ceiling but in reality it is affordable without burning a hole in your pocket.
Excellent pastries and good sandwiches, etc. Service could be a bit better. The toasted grilled vegetable sandwiches in focacia bread were superb - a full meal in itself. They were unfortunately out of coffee, but the masala tea was excellent
