For Mumbai’s sweet-toothed vegetarians finding inspired eggless dessert options on menus often ends with them having to settle for options in the ice cream section, or chocolate pastries. So, when we hear that Malad’s vegetarian dessert café, Dessert Therapy, opened a branch at Fort, we make a beeline for it.


We reach the venue on the first weekend of its opening and realise that this kerbside restaurant with a massive seating area is yet to be discovered by SoBo’s vegetarian dessert fans. The interiors are painted with a balanced mix of warm and cool colours. The pendant lights and a bricked wall add appeal. We find our favourite spot by the gigantic arched glass windows.

As we scan the menu, the co-founder, Harsh Shah, comes by our table and shares about the café’s origins, which started as a cloud kitchen founded by him and his brother Nisarg in 2016. “As big-time dessert fans, we wanted to introduce the concept of desserts as therapy,” he reveals. While the Malad café is best-known for its cheesecakes, Shah urges us to try something new at the Fort outpost. 

He hands us the mango menu. “The aamras tres leches [Rs 500] is a must-try,” he insists, and so we go by his recommendation. The dessert that serves four, arrives in a bowl filled with aamras. In the centre is a vanilla cake drenched in the milky mango juice, topped with cream and mango pieces. The cake melts in our mouth, and is a refreshing burst of the seasonal fruit.

Next up is loaded churro chips (Rs 600). This dish can suffice for a group of three. The chips are warm and crunchy, and come topped with four types of chocolate sauces — milk, white, dark, and chilli. We suggest skipping this, or ordering chilli chocolate sauce separately in a bowl. The dessert is topped with strawberry and cream.

Nutella Ferrero cheesecake (Rs 500), and their bestseller, Lotus Biscoff cheesecake (Rs 450) are next on our plan. By now, it’s evident that their portion sizes are generous. The cheesecakes are sided with a dollop of cream. While the former is an overload of sweetness, the latter is a fine balance of creamy and crumbly.

With cutesy interiors and its diverse eggless menu covering pancakes, donuts, cookies, pastries and milkshakes, it is bound to cause a flutter among impressionable foodies who swear by their social media feeds.
