Dessert Galore

Forennte, Pune

The Basics - Small, probably the best desserts in Pune. 9:30am-9pm. Shut on Thursdays. 

The Address - Lane 8, Koregaon Park. Near Naughty Angel's Cafe. 

The Verdict - Do not miss. 

It's so small that despite passing it a million times, chances of you missing it are really high. Located on Lane 8, Koregaon Park, the owner, a young, sweet chap greets you. There's only a counter and barely enough space for four. You can see the kitchen and some baking equipment at the back of the room. 

Forennte is one of those places that were always on my wish list every since I came to Pune. Having heard so much about it, I was afraid my high expectations would dampen my whole experience here. I was wrong.

The Belgian 

On display are various cakes, pastries, muffins, cupcakes, mouse and other common items found in a patisserie. But what's not so regular about Forennte is the quality of their baking. Rich, sinful and filling are the three words that come to my mind when I think of this place. 

Their cupcakes are soft, moist and heavy on the icing. They have the usual chocolate, vanilla and the best of the lot - red velvet. To spice things up, they've introduced the Angry Birds cupcakes which are cute, fun and taste the same as the regular ones. Neither will disappoint, but will keep you longing for more with every bite. So make sure you're not any diet plan this weekend. 

Their whoppie pies are also moist, but small and light on the frosting. The cake was fluffy but not as soft as I expected it to be. The Belgian chocolate cake melted in my mouth and the two layers of the Belgian chocolate was absolutely heavenly. The cake itself was moist and rich, much like all of their other desserts on offer. 

The colourful whoopie pie. Notice the vanilla cupcake too.

I can vouch for any of their desserts be it cheesecakes, brownies, red velvet pastry or tortes. They are bold with their flavours and love to experiment. While it may seem that what they serve is what you will and can get in another patisserie for a cheaper price, Forennte does not compromise with their ingredients, giving their desserts a unique and superior taste.

If Forennte had a seating area, it would be the place I would frequent most often. Despite being slightly high on their pricing, it is totally worth every penny! After all, everyone needs the "heaven in my mouth" feeling!

I would suggest going early as they usually start running out of their stock as they progress through the day. It is after all, probably Pune's best dessert place!

Keep eating, and chuck that diet if you plan on coming here!

What's hot - Cupcakes
What's not - Some of their breads are slightly hard.
