I moved to Rajaji Nagar when I was 16..& moved out to several places in Bangalore & abroad. Today I am 68, living 45 km away from the bakery . I still visit Varier & carry products that last for 10 days. The ambience, the well groomed salesmen with clean shave, spotless white dress, the consistent quality standards, are truly iconic. Founder's son's commitment to uphold the high standards is God's gift to loyal customers like me

Kripal Sir, I guess you missed out on 1 famous item, which is RUSK. I have been tasting it for close to 30+ years and it has had the same taste since the beginning It is something which goes very well with your coffee. Not only the taste it has got a very good shell life as well. Even after 7 to 10 days also the taste remains the same (as long it is airtight or simply close the cover with a rubber band). Before pastries and ice cake came, we used to buy their HONEY CAKE as well.

[@vinayg2594]

Its there at 6:17...

[@chetanshenoy3991]

based on my experience, the rusk you get here at Variar bakery is the best in Bengaluru, you dont get the taste in any other rusk anywhere.

[@soujforever]

Hmmm hmmm

[@prabhasarathy6676]

True in 1975,I worked in a bank near the original Warriors Bakery...All my friends advised me to try their rusk..Even now when I pass thst side, buy rusk.

I first tasted Varrier bakery products at this very place whenever we visited my aunt and family who lived very close by. The founder was a genial, simple quiet man for whom service and quality came first. Customers priority was to get the product hot-off-the-oven - Varrier bakery products are still the best ever I have ever eaten. No other bakery products, I dare say even of 5-star hotels, came anywhere close to Varrier's natural, fresh, tasty stuff. I am so glad his sons are carrying on their father's legacy with the same simplicity, warmth and perfection.

Variar Bakery products are beyond compare and their service superlative. I used to come all the way from my hometown some 250 kms away (Shimoga) once in 5-6 weeks only to buy their salt biscuits made of pure ghee whose shelf life lasted on and on and on and yet retained its freshness. Even the famed Karachi biscuits, in my firm opinion, come a poor second. A big THANKS to all those nice folks at Variar - from the proprietor down, to all the boys manning the counter.

As a young adult I have spent my weekend evening hours grabbing most of the bakery products. I never ever enquired about the flour and the oil which they use in their recipes. For 8 years I never thought there would be a process in which a bakery would make keen decisions regarding their ingredients irrespective of being in mass production. Even 8 years from now we had to stand in queue for 20 to 30 minutes to get a orders delivered since they do not have a dining place we have to carry our food home. Today after watching your video I feel this is a very important message for all the food entrepreneurs in case they want to create a legacy in their business model and the choice of ingredients will always speak about your product. No fancy packaging no labelling just the product talks about itself that's how *Variar bakery* stand stall for the last 70 years. They have been very specific when to add or not to add onions to their savory preparations. All their products have a very minimal life span. Today sitting in my Mumbai home I miss relishing the sweet note of that sweet bread.
