When we walk into Fresco Bakery at Juhu, the smell of freshbread, combined with the spicy smell of Manchurian rolls, embraces us. It is impossible to take a look at the items displayed in the counter as customers block the view shouting their orders. Owner Shiela Fernandes is taking an order on the phone. “Of course it is fresh,” she says.

At Fresco, the kitchen never shuts and fresh items are baked every few hours. Pic/Nimesh Dave
