Merwans Cake Stop
Apollo Bunder · South Bombay
poor
A takeaway bakery counter behind the Taj, famous for mawa cake, not a sit-down cafe.
Merwans is a bakery counter for puffs and signature mawa cake — it's a grab-and-go stop with minimal or no seating, useful only as a snack pickup on your way past the Taj, not a place to sit with a laptop.
Mon–Sun 8am–8:30pm
Nowroji Mansion, Roosevelt House, Furdonji Road, Behind Taj Hotel, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai 400001
Not enough evidence: Wi-Fi, Power, Quiet
Verdict
A bakery pickup counter, not a cafe you can sit in — good for a snack, not for work.
