The Irani Cafes of Bombay had close friends in the Irani Bakeries that dotted the old city. Whilst writing about the Cafes a lot of people asked me about them and I thought today would be an ideal day to talk about Bakeries in Mumbai #IraniBakeries #MumbaiBakeries

The 1st bakers of Mumbai were the Paowallas as they were affectionately called ie the Goans & they set up a whole slew of simple bakeries making pau and poie all over the city. They were continuing a Portuguese legacy. The word pau is the Portuguese word for bread #MumbaiBakeries
The Portuguese brought serious bread making to the Indian shores and bread soon became a staple in Goa & other Portuguese Colonies. The French, Dutch & British too brought their share of breads & bakery products, this is not to say there were no bakeries in India #MumbaiBakeries
