The Best Bakery in Varanasi, baked fresh every morning
Nikita Cake House pairs classic French technique with the flavours of Banaras — think rabri cheesecake, thandai sponge and paan ganache — served from an oven that never stops on the ghats.

Only in Varanasi
Fusion flavours you won't find at any other bakery in the city
We build our menu around the flavours of Kashi itself — the paan from the galis, the thandai from Holi mornings, the rabri from wedding season.
Paan Ganache
Betel leaf, fennel and gulkand folded into a dark chocolate ganache layer.
Thandai Sponge
Saffron, almond and cardamom-soaked sponge finished with a rose glaze.
Rabri Cream
Slow-reduced rabri folded into cheesecake batter and baked low and slow.
Malaiyo Mousse
A winter-only mousse inspired by Banaras's morning street dessert.
What Varanasi says about us
A few notes from customers who've ordered for birthdays, weddings and everyday cravings.
Ordered the thandai cake for a Holi party — it disappeared in ten minutes. Genuinely the best bakery in Varanasi for anything with a local twist.
The croissants rival anything I've had outside India, and delivery near the ghats was faster than I expected.
Paan cake for my father's birthday was a hit with the whole family — nostalgic and not too sweet.
