Since 2011, Aubree Haute Chocolaterie has been creating cakes, desserts, chocolates, and savories delighting aficionados with every little bite. We started off as a small cake and bake shop in Sadashivanagar, Bengaluru specializing in fully egg-less cakes and desserts. Since then we have grown in size and popularity across the city, continually delivering innovative dessert and chocolate experiences.

Conceptually, Aubree is patisserie inspired, western styled and focused on creative craftsmanship. Our emphasis is on creating authentic recipes that showcase the passion and rigor with which they are produced. We want to be authentic, about craft and approachable to our customers. To put it simply, our goal is to provide a place and the products to celebrate the simple joys of life.

Aubree was judged "The Patisserie of the Year" consecutively for two years in 2018 and 2019 at the World on a Plate gourmet food festival for its original creation Orabella Iced Parfait made from Belgian milk chocolate parfait cream.
