BREAD & CHOCOLATE PONDICHERRY
by
Urbanaut
We do wish the good people at Bread & Chocolate would open up in more places around the country - but our loss is Pondicherry’s gain. Their PY space in the heart of White Town is airy, charming and serves up all the incredible bakes and brews you’re used to - you just don’t need to go to Auroville for it. While away your afternoon at the BnC Pondy and thank us later.
