About Minori

What is Minori?

Minori is a woman-founded artisan bakehouse in Brookefield, Bengaluru, baking small-batch, made-to-order cheesecakes, celebration cakes, brownies, bomboloni, cookies, tea cakes and breads. Everything is made with real butter and couverture chocolate, with no artificial flavours or synthetic colours. Minori means "harvest" in Japanese.

Who founded Minori?

Minori was founded by Jyothy Raj C.D, a Lavonne Academy-trained pastry chef who left a six-year career in mainframe engineering to bake full time. That background shows in the kitchen: recipes are weighed and tested with an engineer's precision, then finished by hand.

What makes Minori different from other bakeries near Whitefield?

We bake with real butter and couverture chocolate only, never margarine, vanaspati or compound chocolate, and we use no artificial flavours or synthetic colours. Everything is small-batch and made to order in our FSSAI-licensed Brookefield kitchen, with the licence number shown in the footer of every page. Minori is woman-founded, by a Lavonne Academy-trained pastry chef who left a six-year engineering career, so the approach is precise as well as generous.

Ingredients & dietary needs

Yes. Many Minori bakes are eggless as standard, including the Belgian Chocolate Pastry, cookie jars, biscotti, tea cakes, breads, the Korean bun, and the Biscoff cheesecake and Matilda chocolate cake tubs. The New York, Blueberry, Nutella and Biscoff cheesecakes let you choose egg or eggless at checkout, while the Chocolate Cheesecake Slice is made with egg. Each product page shows a green mark for eggless and a brown one for egg. For a custom cake, tell us in your inquiry and we will plan it eggless from the start.

Are your eggless bakes vegetarian? Do you use gelatin?

Yes. Minori does not use gelatin in any bake, so every eggless bake is vegetarian. Look for the green mark on the product page; a brown mark means the bake contains egg.

Do you have gluten-free bakes?

Yes. Minori's Monk Fruit Almond Brownie (₹250) and box of six Monk Fruit Chocolate Cookies (₹320) are gluten-free. Our Brookefield kitchen also handles wheat, so if you have coeliac disease, tell us when you order.

Each product page lists its allergens. Tell us about an allergy when you order and we will tell you honestly what we can make, including eggless, gluten-free and sugar-free options. Minori's kitchen handles wheat, nuts, dairy, eggs and soy, so we cannot promise any bake is free of traces.
