Eat My Cake
₹₹ Mid-range · 5, Labourdonnais Street, White Town
A rooftop bakery founded as a women's empowerment initiative, with exceptional cheesecakes, tarts, and a peaceful view over the White Town rooftops.
Eat My Cake sits on a rooftop on Labourdonnais Street and is one of the more quietly remarkable places in the White Town. It was founded as a women's empowerment initiative and has built a reputation on the quality of its baking rather than on the story behind it.
The cheesecakes are consistently praised as among the best in Pondicherry: properly set, well-flavoured, and not oversweetened. The tarts are delicate and seasonal. Vegan and gluten-free options are clearly marked and well-executed, which is rarer in Pondicherry than it should be.
The rooftop setting provides one of the quieter views over the White Town, away from the main tourist streets. It is the kind of discovery that rewards going slightly off the obvious path.
Must Order
- Cheesecake
- Seasonal tart
- Filter coffee
Tip: Come in the morning for the full range of baked goods. The rooftop fills up at brunch on weekends.
Hours: Morning to evening; check locally for current hours
