'★★★' The moment you step in this new edition of Avon bakery, you will surely wait for a while outside just to have a complete look of it's graceful & alluring entrance. I got an invitation from Chetna for a review of this newly opened bakery at civil lines besides Hotel Olivia. It's a new branch of Avon which was started in Thapar Nagar way back.
'Avon bakers entrance'
Avon bakery has pulled off a pretty nice wooden ambience along with nice bakery products. The wooden gate, green grass carpet and the path look stunning for a start. It's not some place like Delhi/Mumbai where restaurants are mushrooming day by day. So, when a spick and span place opens up here which feels promising in both food (snacks) and an impressive aura, foodies like me in search of some freshness shows up.
'Slideshow'
The ambience is pretty clean and earthy. Most of the area is covered with wooden planks or a wooden like tiles.
'Slideshow of interiors'
The sitting area is not too much as they serve only bakery products, so people prefer takeaways or just visit for a swift bite. Everything is made in-house and they do have a wide variety of cookies and other products lined up behind a curved glass at the counter. Avon bakery delivers cakes all over NCR and also have a website to order i.e. www.avonbakers.com
'Slideshow of products'
The pros of having your own bakery give u independence of experimenting and serving everything fresh. I suggest having a look at this slideshow.
So, by the time I took some pics, I started feeling a bit hungry. I asked for a cheese kebab, Mexican delight, veg spiral, mushroom patty, red velvet pastry and red velvet truffle pastry. They also have a variety of mock-tails and shakes from which I ordered a strawberry shake, chocolate oreo shake and a virgin mojito.
Everything was ready to eat after a 10-15 sec micro. Just like any other place, Meerut also has many bakeries and confectioneries which serve some nice quick bites. I don't prefer to review a place just on the basis of pastries and RTE snacks but this place got some nice looking snacks lined up behind a curved glass at the counter.
'Cheese Kebab'
The Cheese kebab was in the form of a roll stuffed with a vegetable kebab. There was no trace of cheese in it plus it tasted pretty average. But yes, I found it something different than the regular stuffed roll.
'Mexican delight' & mushroom patties'
The Mexican delight was a small base topped with corns, capsicum, onions & tomatoes. Tasted like a regular pizza and size was one slice of a pizza, Pretty good for a quickie. Nowadays , it can be found in every second bakery. The mushroom patties were lacking the crispiness. Didn't quite likes it. Have had better mushroom patties around the area.
'Veg Spiral'
After the previous three average snack, this was a step in the right direction. Veg spiral stuffed with veggies was a delight to eat.
Red velvet pastry and truffle pastry were worth trying. The red velvet tasted pleasant but could have been a little moister and spongy. The truffle was delicious and airy.
'Mock-tails'
Coming on to beverages, it could be extra icy cold . Virgin mojito was lacking the fizz. Shakes seemed diluted, it should be more thicker. So, the drinks were ineffective and could be desirable.
Lastly: Welcoming ambience with a variety of snacks, pastries cakes and beverages. Suitable for take aways. Perfect heaven for pure vegetarian as they serve only egg-less products. No customization for egg lovers. Strictly egg-less. With the birth of this new Avon, we have one more to serve some quality desserts. If I have to rank, then cake factory will still win the race hands down. But, I believe that with the experienced and thoughtful management, they would take the suggestions positively and will surely become one of the best bakeries in Meerut, serving some fine desserts in years to come.
