Testimonials
"We have a loaf of sourdough from Honoré Boulangerie once, if not twice a week on our table.
It's not an exaggeration to say this is beautiful bread. The crust is crisp and perfect,
the crumb generously open, and the texture perfect and flavourful. A loaf lasts remarkably well,
often without refrigeration and freezes very well too. When you eat a slice, it's hard to imagine
it's crafted using only locally available materials, by a baker with no formal training.
It's a great luxury to have bread of this quality in Bengaluru."
