Updated On: 01 April, 2026 11:21 AM IST | Nascimento Pinto

Filter coffee is being piped into a swirl, perched on cookies, and depending on where you go, dressed up like it’s headed to a dessert pageant. We ranked swirls across the city on what matters (Story by Junisha Dama)

<p><strong>Benne</strong><br />If you manage to make it in and not stay in the queue, Benne can be a satisfying experience. And, their softy is elevated too. Made in collaboration with Indu Ice Cream, it is creamy, confident, and comes with cashew praline that adds crunch where it counts. The new address in Chowpatty, which opened last Friday, throws in a large cookie at the base with a dollop of the ice cream on top.</p>
<p><strong>At</strong> Nirav Apartment, 1, Gulmohar Road, Juhu. <br /><strong>Call</strong> 9004676941<br /><strong>Cost</strong> Rs 180 onwards</p>

<p><strong>Mangalore Tiffin Room</strong><br />Mangalore Tiffin Room isn’t here to play small; they opened recently, but are going strong. The plain softy is solid, but the real flex is their latest collaboration with a neighbourhood bakery, Layers of Happiness. A choco chunk cookie is served from the bakery, and sits at the bottom of the tumbler. It’s warm, gooey, and indulgent. While it’s a limited-edition collaboration, owners say they will likely make it permanent.<br /><br /><strong>At</strong> Sangeeta Enclave, Sarvodaya Nagar, Mulund West.<br /><strong>Cost</strong> Rs 90 (softy), Rs 150 (cookie version) </p>

<p><strong>Prakash Dosa</strong><br />They don’t try too hard, and they don’t fumble. This spot was probably the first to serve the softy once it went viral on social media. The soft serve is unapologetically coffee-forward. Bitter where it should be, not too sweet, and smooth without feeling overly processed. It actually tastes like someone respected the bean. We could do without their cocoa dusting on top. </p>

<p><strong>Porvai</strong><br />This version strips the soft serve down to basics. This is great in theory, but with the many versions out there, we were hoping for some innovation. Otherwise, the texture is great, the idea of simplicity is right, but it could add a garnish, perhaps?</p>

<p><strong>Bastian Ammakai</strong><br />A polished soft serve with melted chocolate and toasted nuts — it looks good, it tastes right. But at this price, you expect a little more imagination. Right now, Ammakai is playing it safe in a very expensive room.</p>
