The Space: Designed by Khaiber Siddiqui of Studio Xalt
When you step into Magnolia Bakery, you’ll experience a warm and inviting atmosphere that beautifully combines classic elements with fresh design enhancements. The bakery maintains its signature charm with white beadboard counters, tin metal ceilings, and touches of Aberdeen green on the walls. However, to enhance the space, we’ve introduced new features, such as quartz countertops and white brick tiles that complement our iconic monochrome hexagonal floor tiles.
With convenient seating options across two floors, the ground floor and mezzanine, we’ve expanded the customer seating area to accommodate more guests. Our vision for Magnolia Bakery in Bandra was to capture the essence of New York while infusing a touch of Mumbai’s spirit. This design successfully marries the charm of New York with the vibrant energy of Mumbai.
Located in the heart of Bandra’s bustling high streets, the local surroundings played a pivotal role in shaping the design choices. We’ve predominantly employed a white and green color scheme, with a custom-made floral pattern ceiling in white, creating an overall ambiance that is both fresh and welcoming. Our design seeks to blend New York’s classic aesthetic with contemporary elements, resulting in a rich and distinctive atmosphere.
As you enter, you’ll notice the stylish use of glass and vertical slats, not only controlling the influx of sunlight but also creating an inviting interior atmosphere throughout the store. This flagship store in Bandra spans 2300 square feet across both the ground and mezzanine floors, offering you a delightful view of our freshly made cakes and cupcakes.
“We are so excited to open our first Magnolia Bakery flagship store in Mumbai and our first outside of Bangalore. Now, fans across the city can enjoy their favorite Magnolia Bakery desserts at any time. Our Mumbai fans have already shown so much excitement for the brand and we’re thrilled to now be bringing the Magnolia Bakery experience they know and love to their neighborhood. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on opening day and beyond! ” says Zonu Reddy, Partner at Spago Foods, Magnolia Bakery India Franchise.
