Callvins ( review )



We found this cute little place tucked inside the busy street on Kormangala . We were as usual breaking our heads about where to go and eat at 5pm in the evening when its too late for lunch and too early for dinner !!
So we spotted this place right next to Meghana Foods on the JNC road .

Callvins , first look - itsy bitsy place with a big shelf of breads , cakes, desserts, and then rolls and quiches , main attraction the duck and turtle shaped bread :) .

We ordered the chicken manchurian roll, chicken and cheese roll, veg manchurian roll , caramel custard , lovely chicken and barbaque chicken  , creme caramel , spinach and corn sandwich , and veg grill  .

We were in for a surprise , the rolls tasted amazing, the chicken manchurian roll was so juicy and perfect, the veg roll was spicy n yum for people who love their chilli . The chicken and cheese roll was decent , but it needs something to lift it up a bit more flavour I guess. The lovely chicken and the BBQ chicken were diced up juicy juicy chicken tossed in their respective sauces , where the first one had a bit of south Indian touch , with red yummy chicken' tangy lime and curry leaves ( not spicy and heavy at all) the later had a nice sweet tangy BBQ sauce with lots of garlic . Both were really good. We also tried the sandwiches , they tooK a while but were worth the wait, I haven't eaten a good sandwich in a long time , and these just made up for that, they were lip smacking , and the bread just melts in your mouth.

Now the star dish Srividya's absolute Favourite the caramel custard . First of all it looks daam cute and tastes better than it looks, should try this at any cost, just melts in ur mouth . The crème caramel however I would have liked if it was warmed up a little bit , but never the less it was good  and the owner recommend it.

Their fresh baked breads are also amazing , they are so soft that the whole slice feels like the middle of the bread, I cud just squeeze it into a ball ( childhood memories :) ) so soft .

We got more than we hoped for here, everything we ate was worth the wait and the money. You would be surprised by the prices, the rolls are 25-30 Rs. , the sandwiches are 35-45 Rs. , the chicken starters are from 70-80 Rs. , the desserts start from 30- 80 Rs.. .

We would love to try the other yummy things they offer next time, like the cakes , and the quiches , as the owners recommend it .
The quantities are also very good, you would be full with those sandwiches alone. The place unfortunately is small u have probably 4 tables , it cud fit in about 16 people . That is the only flaw , but its a bakery so I don't think I should be complaining, at least there is place to sit and enjoy those amazing treats they offer .

So I say u should go and check this place out , try the rolls, sandwiches and the caramel custard which are my top recommendations .
