I love these place,one of most oldest nd yet so fulfilled with happiness...the staffs were amazingly well and nice...the ambience is a complete go to place,food is pretty sober and nice...
I went there recently after reading some very good reviews about the place. I must say i was not at all disappointed. It has some of the most authentic and fabulous continental delicacies to eat. I would like to add the owner of this place is very polite and helpful. Love this place and looking forward to visit again.
Warmest place I have ever been to. The owner is a genuine soul and always has something special to add to our orders. One of the few places in Varanasi where I took my girlfriend for dates during our first few months into the relationship. We were being ourselves, buzzing with newfangled love, the delightfulness, the shyness and the stupidity... Guess the owner noticed and gave us a discount of 10%... marking this restaurant as a place where I discovered my 'bread of life'... we are 4.5 years strong now... and the thought of the amazing food and memories here always does spark a pleasant twinkle in our eyes... we are coming again on the 23rd this month... :)

Food - Inexpensive and not spicy. Definitely, something a lot of foreign tourists look for that kinda food. Overall, the chicken is specially very tender and juicy.
Ambience - Good. Considering the location, it is pretty decent.
Smoking Area - for those who wanna enjoy a smoke with your breakfast - you can get it here.
The continental food variety and the owner being a bengali - it's pretty cool for a foodie from bengal.
If u are looking for peace and healthy and yummy and fresh food..That is homelike too..Then this is probably the best place.. Friendly people and simple yet tasty food
I've been to this restaurant since 2001, when it was run by an American who had helped set it up. This was the only place where you could get authentic western cuisine in Varanasi, except the Taj hotel, and it used to attract several westerners. Between 2000-2002 was the best time for this place, and thereafter it has gradually become more run down as I've seen on my occasional visits every two years. Their menu has also shrunk and service times have become longer as staff shortages continue. But what hasn't changed is that whatever they offer - from club sandwiches to chicken stroganoff - you get it better than almost any other restaurant in town. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find western cuisine in Varanasi where most restaurants are small North Indian-cuisine eateries or Indianized Chinese joints. Bread of Life's desserts are good too - particularly the brownie and baked cheesecakes. I hope the current management is able to keep the place running and continue to attract the western tourists who must be relieved at finding their kind of food. I recommend visiting if you like western cuisine.
Went there for some desserts with dad and my sister. We had Chocolate cheesecake and it was super yummy. It melts in your mouth the moment you have it. Must try for all the people who are on a food trip to varanasi.
Quaint little bakery/restaurant. It has a homely feel to it... expansive menu... was not really expecting it. All the items are reasonably priced. The person who runs it is very friendly. I was a little disappointed with the drinks (hot chocolate and soda and lime) but their veg baked pasta was seriously gud... give it a try
Plus there is BHU discount 😉
Value for money!
A calm secluded place in the chaos of Varanasi
Good food. The person who runs the place scores it all on the service. With a smiling face, he surely knows how to treat customers.
A trait best of places in varanasi don't possess.
I would sincerely advice people from varanasi to visit it once.
The owner is the sweetest man on the planet. He'll certainly make you smile. The food and bakery are delicious. I returned to try more foods and baked goods and to buy some for my train ride. It's a small team, so food might take about 20 or so minutes to prepare, but it's worth it. This restaurant/cafe is a little oasis. A must-visit breakfast spot in Varanasi. I recommend the skillet or any eggs. From the bakery, I recommend the muffins, cookies, or chocolate croissant. Tea and coffee are excellent as well.
This restaurant was so good that I had to revisit this place multiple times. The food here was amazing, economically priced and the portions were enough to satisfy 1 person. The best part about this restaurant is their staff, very friendly and professional. I really enjoyed talking with them. And the owner was an absolute gem person. After having some chat with the wonderful owner, I got to know that his family lived in Bangladesh (East Pakistan) and moved to India post or pre partition. Quite a fascinating story it was.
And regarding the food, I tried their Chinese dishes, chana masala and roti, apple pie and hot chocolate & lemon tea (not available on the menu, but owner customised it personally for me), and their fish fry. All of them were excellent. The food is freshly cooked, so there is a big wait time, so you gotta have patience. And the old wooden chair and table ambience gave me the vibes as if I'm sitting in a Parsi or Irani cafe.
Amazing encounter with very sweet Ashish sir and amazing service and food, please be patient with the order delivery as they only prepare fresh food. Can definitely say it was worth the wait.
It is our safe heaven. The food is freshly cooked. The cook's smile and friendliness does it all. Great to read a book with a chai and pastry. All the best for you!
A friendly little place with a mighty menu. New Bread of Life was recommended by our hotel a few doors down. We thought, “Why not?” since we could almost fall out of our hotel’s lobby into the restaurant, and we were feeling particularly lazy about battling scooters for walking space to anywhere much farther.
I wasn’t looking for the best paneer butter masala I’ve ever had, but I found it here. Perhaps this is blasphemous, considering the dish’s Delhi origins. I did have it at one of the places in Delhi that is believed to have invented it; theirs was good, but not as good as this, in my opinion.
New Bread of Life’s chef is definitely their secret weapon. His fried rice is excellent. We had the corn soup flavored with ginger—also excellent. We tried the fresh-baked apple pie—excellent. We liked everything enough to return multiple times over the course of our week in Varanasi.
The owner and staff really give you the feeling they’re happy to have you as their guest—this is while you’re sitting there eating, for a pittance, some of the best-tasting dishes anyone has possibly ever prepared for you.

Went to visit this bakery a few times for breakfast and brunch. It’s a cozy old place that looks like it’s an old house converted into a bakery/restaurant.
The menu is simple. We ordered a vegetarian dishes, fried rice and tandoori roti. It was really tasty! The food itself was delicious, but the portion was very small for the price point. If you come here starving, you’ll have to order two or maybe three dishes.
The bakery part of this shop had very few options, not sure if they bake on a different day of the week, but they only had brownies cupcakes, cookies and the apple pie.
I ordered the chocolate cupcake and again, super! They even warm it for you.
The owners were really sweet, helpful and cheerful. Always had a big smile on their faces. Very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, I would recommend this and would love to visit again.
Old timer lazy time restaurant, kind of invisible heaven in terms of taste.
Order and wait long for the tastiest treat.
Freshly cut vegetables for your dish all preparation from scratch waiting is fruitful.
Pricing no high
Portion size adequate
Service with a smile is priceless
I had visited this place on a breezy Sunday, I had been thinking of going to the place for a long time cause my best friend has suggested it to me.
The place is easy to find. I visited this place on a breezy Sunday with my brothers. The place is a little shaddy in the winters but natural sunlight changes the aura of the restaurant/cafe.
While we were there , we were served by the manager , who was a very sweet man , probably in his early or mid 50s. While ordering he helped us giving us some recommendations, and for every dish we ordered he had asked us for our specific preferences.
We visited the place looking for a warming breakfast. We ordered a variety of things , like skillet breakfast, egg royale ,American pancakes , French toast, eggs(fried,boiled) and for beverage we ordered hot chocolate and filter coffee. The dishes arent priced High, it is very much affordable and the food is worth the price
The breakfast gave us absolute satiety.
I would recommend checking with them a day before if they have a particular bread/dish/bakery item (that you want) available with them. And you can also ask them to get it prepared.
I would highly recommend this place for a warm breakfast.
We had freshly cooked American pancakes and skillet breakfast. Food was tasty and filling. The owner has been running the business for more than 25 years.
We surprisingly found this place serving authentic food in Varanasi.
They have art gallery as well which is closed due to COVID situation.
Quite a philosophical name it has.
Jokes apart, this place is a really nice place to try continental foods in Varanasi. It's located near Ravindrapuri.
The owner and the employees are all Bengalis, and as a fellow Bengali, that place is really quite attractive for me.
Now the food. As it is a bakery, the confectionery items are quite good. Specially the Apple pie. The crust is just perfect, and the filling has a storng cinnamon kick to it.
Next I would recommend their Cheesecake, it was really soft and mildly sweet.
And also try their Chicken Sizzler. And try to wrap the Lettuce / cabbage leaf with little bit of everything (chicken, veggies, potato Fry's , sauce (the given gravy) and tomato and the smokey apple. And the eat the warp as a whole. It will feel incredible.
