Top 8 Picks for Evening Tea Time Snacks

Tea Cakes

As the name suggests, these dainty cakes are the perfect complement to a cup of tea! Theobroma offers a wide variety of tea cakes to choose from, including the classic Pound Cake as well as others like Banana Cake and Mava Cake. You can also pick from our eggless options, from which we’d highly recommend Theo’s Eggless Dense Loaf.

Puffs

If you prefer savoury over sweet tea time snacks, you can always opt for puffs. Theobroma’s Curried Veg Puff is a buttery puff pastry that’s stuffed with assorted veggies and a creamy curry sauce. We also have a Chicken & Cheese Pasty that’s filled with our classic bechamel sauce, roasted chicken, herbs and cheese.

Cookies/biscuits

Chai-biscuit is a nostalgic pairing, because it was part of most of our childhoods. Enjoy a fancier version of the biscuit with our Almond Biscotti. These are double baked Italian biscuits that are loaded with almond chunks and flavoured with fennel seeds and orange. Then there are our melt-in-the-mouth Chocolate Chip Cookies that are filled with pure dark chocolate chunks. Our Pure Butter Palmiers are hard to pass on too. These buttery puff pastries get rolled in caster sugar before being caramelised. They provide a substantial crunch that pairs superbly with some fresh tea.

Sandwiches/Rolls

For the days you want your tea time snack to be more of a mini-meal, sandwiches, wraps and rolls are your go-to options. Our Paneer Junglee Roll is made with a filling made of fresh paneer, chilli, cheese, and fresh herbs. For a protein-packed snack, you can also opt for our sumptuous Barbeque Chicken Sandwich, creamy Chicken Mayonnaise Roll or our tangy and spicy Chicken Masala Roll.

Baked Wada Pao

Mumbai's famous street food and Maharashtra’s popular evening tea snack —Wada Pao—can make an amazing evening tea time snack. At Theobroma, we have given it a healthy twist by baking the spicy potato stuffing in our unique soft bread. It's a lighter yet equally yummy snack, especially during the monsoon season, when paired with one of our hot beverages like Hot Chocolate, a creamy Cappuccino, or a bold Americano.

Quiches

Our quiches are a warm and comforting tea time snack. Our Vegetarian Quiche features a buttery pie crust, cream cheese, different veggies, and a savoury cream custard that is prepared to golden perfection—perfect for a monsoon evening. For those who prefer meatier flavours, our Non-Vegetarian Quiche has tender chicken, veggies, and the same rich, creamy filling. 

Pair it with a Cappuccino. Viola! You have got yourself a perfect tea time tea snack.

Crackers

If you prefer to pair your evening chai with a low-calorie snack, opt for our Black Pepper Sourdough Crackers or our Nachni Crackers. The former is made with whole wheat flour, sourdough and black pepper, while the latter is a multi-grain cracker made with wheat flour, nachni (raagi) flour and enriched with honey, flax seed & sesame seeds.

Here’s a quick tea time snack recipe you can try using our crackers. 
Recipe: Take a Theobroma cracker and apply hummus / pesto on it. Sprinkle halved cherry tomatoes and chunks of mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the cheese and tomatoes and add a pinch of salt for an extra pop of flavour. 
Your homemade cracker topping is ready. All you need to do is dig in!

Beverages

No tea time is complete without something hot to sip in, especially when the sky is dark and rain is pouring. At Theobroma, our selection of hot drinks pairs perfectly with your favourite snacks for evening tea.

Our Cappuccino is rich and creamy, with a strong blast of espresso base and a thick layer of velvety milk froth. If you prefer something extra, our Latte is a smooth combination of espresso and steamed milk, giving you a light and frothy cup. And for those looking for something extra delicious, go for our Hot Chocolate—made with real dark chocolate and steamed milk- a complete treat in every sip.
