BakeLive Studio is a cozy new cafe and bakery in Girgaum Chowpatty. The establishment has a live kitchen where you can get a clear glimpse of your delicious food being made from scratch. We had the chance to taste some of their offerings for ourselves. We recommend their baked Vada Pav, Cheese Garlic Bun, Loaded Fries and House Special Pizza. Although the pizza was slightly sweet, we loved the gooeyness of the cheese and the range of toppings. Their hummus plate, with 5 different types of hummus, was also delicious. BakeLive Studio is a great place to hang out with your group of friends or to satisfy your cravings with some quick bites. BakeLive Studio also has outlets in Mulund and Colaba.
