Wenger's
Wenger's has been baking in Connaught Place since 1926, when it started as a catering outfit for British troops before opening its own tea room. It runs a counter-service bakery model, patties, rolls, pastries, cakes, and a full dessert case, rather than table service. Its own site still describes the original 1920s move from Kashmere Gate to CP, and it is now billed as the oldest surviving food outlet in the area. The chicken patty and the cakes are what keep people in line.
What people praise
- Chicken patty repeatedly singled out as the standout item
- Cakes and pastries described as fresh, rich, and not overly sweet
- Reliable quality reviewers say has held up for decades
- Reasonable prices for the Connaught Place location
Worth knowing
- Confusing multi-counter ordering system (token, pay, collect)
- Gets crowded fast, especially around opening time
- No seating, most people eat standing outside
Our take: It ranks first here on sheer weight of reviews and a rating that has held steady for a century-old operation. Go for the patties and cakes, not for a sit-down bagel breakfast.
