Since opening its doors in Bangalore in 2012, Lavonne has been at the forefront of India’s pastry revolution, setting the highest standards in baking and café culture. What started as a single academy dedicated to professional pastry education has evolved into a powerhouse with two thriving verticals: Lavonne Academy of Baking Science and Pastry Arts is one that trains the new generation of chefs and a Café that serves award-winning pastries, viennoiserie, and artisanal breads. And now, Lavonne has launched LICK (Lavonne Ice Cream Kitchen), further redefining what indulgence means for dessert lovers.
Lavonne Academy of Baking Science and Pastry Arts: Elevating Culinary Standards
Over the years, Lavonne has built a reputation as the go-to destination for anyone serious about baking. Lavonne Academy of Baking Science and Pastry Arts offers a range of programs catering to everyone from beginners experimenting with their first batch of macarons to seasoned professionals looking to refine their craft. Whether it’s an intensive Diploma in Patisserie, a specialized 5-week eggless baking course, or an 8-week Entrepreneurship Program designed for those dreaming of launching their own bakery, every course at Lavonne is crafted to meet global industry standards.
Lavonne’s teaching is rooted in a deep understanding of the craft, combining art and science to create world-class pastry chefs. Students get access to top-tier training, guided by experts who instill both creativity and precision in every aspect of baking. For those who can’t commit to a long-term program, weekend workshops, live online sessions, and international masterclasses offer flexible ways to dive into the world of baking.
Lavonne Café: A Culinary Experience Like No Other
Lavonne isn’t just about education—it’s about experience. The Café side of the brand is where all that expertise meets indulgence. With five buzzing locations across Bangalore and Delhi, Lavonne Café has redefined how people enjoy desserts in India. Every croissant, every mille-feuille, every delicate choux pastry on display is a testament to the skill and precision of the chefs behind the counter. It’s no surprise that Lavonne has won the Times Food & Nightlife Award for ‘Best Confectionery’ multiple times.
Whether you’re in for a leisurely brunch, a quick coffee, or a beautifully crafted celebration cake, Lavonne Café delivers not just on taste but on artistry. The Café provides a welcoming atmosphere that invites guests to indulge in some of the finest pastries, all made with the highest quality ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. It’s a true celebration of the culinary craft, where every dish is a work of art.
The Delhi Expansion: A New Chapter
In February 2024, Lavonne expanded its footprint to Delhi with a state-of-the-art academy in Lajpat Nagar and a stunning café in Defence Colony. In just one year, Lavonne Delhi has trained over 200 budding chefs from across India, proving that the demand for top-tier pastry education is stronger than ever. The café, meanwhile, has set a new benchmark for bakery and confectionery in the capital, serving everything from delicate éclairs to hearty all-day breakfast plates, alongside expertly brewed coffee. The Delhi expansion also introduced customized pastry and bakery tables for private events, corporate hampers, and stunning celebration cakes, ensuring that Lavonne’s signature touch is part of life’s sweetest moments.
Kopitiam Lah: Bringing Malaysian Flavors to Bengaluru
Since 2011, Lavonne has pioneered French pastry and boulangerie in India, and now, they are venturing into an entirely new culinary frontier. Welcome to Kopitiam Lah—India’s first authentic kopitiam, now nestled in the heart of Bengaluru.
Inspired by the bustling coffee shops of Malaysia, Kopitiam Lah captures the vibrant flavors and textures of Eastern baking traditions. The menu showcases a delightful range of treats, from flaky savory puffs and BBQ-stuffed buns to Asian egg tarts and soft pandan chiffon cakes, all crafted with precision and passion.
But Kopitiam Lah is about more than just pastries. This unique concept café brings an array of Malaysian specialties, signed, sealed, and delivered straight to your plate. While classics like kaya toast and nasi lemak remain crowd favorites, the menu also surprises with comforting Wantan Mee Soup and fragrant, leaf-wrapped Otak-Otak fish. Whether you're in the mood for a snack or a wholesome meal, Kopitiam Lah offers an authentic taste of Malaysia in the heart of Bengaluru.
