NERO BAKES / Our story

Our story

A patisserie that began with one very dark chocolate cake.

One cake, three attempts

The first Nero Noir was made in a home kitchen for a friend’s birthday. The glaze took three tries to set like glass, and the recipe has barely changed since.

When the first bakery opened in Indiranagar, we built the kitchen in full view of the counter so that anyone could watch the lamination, the glazing and the finishing.

We would rather make fewer things and make them properly.

How we bake

  1. Choose

    We work with one chocolate, one butter and a short list of farms.

  2. Laminate

    Three days for a croissant, from dough to oven.

  3. Bake

    Small batches, all morning, so the counter is always fresh.

  4. Finish

    Every cake is glazed and decorated by hand.
