Best Sweets in Bangalore: The Honey Cake Nobody Outside the City Knows

4 min read · Bangalore Food · Updated June 2026  |  Plan this trip with AI →

Honey Cake -- Genuinely Unique to Bangalore

Sponge cake soaked in sugar syrup and glazed with colorful sugar coating -- a Bangalore Iyengar bakery invention not found anywhere else in India in this exact form. Nostalgic, cheap, and unmissable for anyone visiting the city.

Where to Find It

Any Iyengar bakery in Malleshwaram works -- look for the colorful glazed squares in the display case. Multiple outlets near Gandhi Bazaar in Basavanagudi are equally reliable if you're on that side of the city instead.

Obbattu and Coconut Cookies

Obbattu (covered in the cool-down section above) and coconut cookies from VB Bakery round out the city's wider sweet-stop options if Honey Cake alone isn't enough of a detour.
