About Us

Theobroma means 'Food of the Gods' in Greek, befitting our exclusive and indulgent range of offerings that include brownies, cakes, desserts, chocolates, breads, and savouries.

From our humble beginnings in 2004, when the first Theobroma pastry store opened its doors at the iconic Cusrow Baug at Colaba Causeway (Mumbai), we've grown to become a Pan-India chain of patisseries with stores in over 30 cities.

Our mission is to spread happiness by serving smiles on a plate, and this journey continues as we open Theobroma patisseries across the country.
