The name Dunkel Braun means dark chocolate in German. The brand recently opened its outlet in Kolkata. This is a great destination for cakes, pastries, bread, sweets, pizzas, salads, and more. The store covers an area of 1200 square feet. The shop also comes with the second outlet of Craft Coffee, which opened its first outlet at Park Street a few months ago.

Sandeep Gupta, owner of Dunkel Braun said that Bengal has adapted different cuisines from different cultures. But when it comes to bakery and confectionery items, there was a vacuum. There are only a very few brands or upscale brands in the city. Dunkel Braun will fill that gap with more than 300 items on the menu.

The brand has its own manufacturing unit headed by the top chefs and researchers in the country.

The highlight of Dunkel Braun is the range of products. There are off-the-shelf items like veg/ cottage cheese/ mushroom/ corn-spinach puffs, samosa, quiche, pasta/ spiral/ spring roll, butter croissant, pizza ring, chili cheese bread, etc. There are plain nachos, nachos reloaded, potato wedges, and cheese balls. Apart from DIY salads, Dunkel Braun also has a variety of waffles and pancakes, burgers and pav, sandwiches, pizzas, and wraps.

There is a range of unique sweets and savories as well like tarts, fresh fruit bowls, veg and non-veg buns, pastries and cakes, sweetbreads, sweet scones, muffins, macaroons, and more.

The cookie range has items like choco-chip, chocolate cashew, coconut milk, honey oats, mixed fruits, multigrain, saffron thandai, coriander chili, and more, plus a sugar-free range too.

One of the highlights of Dunkel Braun is the Turkish delicacy – Baklava. The sourcing for the main ingredients is from Turkey. This lends an authentic flavor to the delicacies. The shelf life of the products is also good, some items lasting for up to 45 days. The price of the products will range from INR 100 to INR 3,000 plus for personalized gift boxes and hampers.

The Dunkel Braun takeaway boxes and hampers are perfectly stunning. The products will be available at Spencer’s very soon.

The store is located at 176, Sarat Bose Road.

Head to Dunkel Braun and soak in the sweetness of the confectionery items.
