TRIP TO DARJEELING Glenary's Bakery, Cafe, restaurant and bar / pub.
Glenary's Bakery & Cafe, also known as the Glenary's Cake Shop is located at the ground floor of a two storied white colonial building that prominently displays its name in front. This is a prominent landmark of Darjeeling and existing since the British colonial days. It's run by the Edwards family.
Glenary's is located on Nehru Road and at a stones throw distance from the Mall (Chowrasta). The bakery & cafe is located at the ground floor).
Glenary's Restaurant is located upstairs which you can access through a stairway inside the cafe or from outside the building. And at the basement is the Buzz Bar which is a modern pub. All three units belong to the Edwards family and the entire white building is known fondly in Darjeeling as The Glenary's.
You get items like sandwiches, burgers, rolls, pies, pizzas, pastries, cakes and many other items including fresh bread and loafs and Darjeeling tea or coffee.
You will see many different types of pastries, cakes including fruit cakes, muffins, croissant etc.

You will also get items like Paneer Manhchurian (a dish prepared out of cottage cheese and in Chinese style), Chicken chili, sausage rolls (pork and chicken) etc. Then there are jam/lemon/chocolate tarts, chocolate brownies, loafs, burgers & buns, and different types of cakes and pastries.
Glenary's has remained as the best bakery in Darjeeling district. They have an outlet at the lower town of Darjeeling at Chowk Bazaar (a much smaller one , but you will get most of the bakery items here which comes from the main shop). They also have a branch at Bagdogra (near the airport).
Right at the center of the room is a red colored old telephone booth that is symbolic of the early days. It adds to the grandeur of the cafe as a light music plays on all the time. You can see a red carpeted stairway next to the booth. That leads upstairs to the restaurant.
As you cross over the cakes and pastry counter, there is another wonderful seating area behind with several tables and chairs laid out. From here you can get marvelous views of the mountains and the valley while you have your breakfast or snacks.

And now there is free wifi available at Glenary's. So if you have a laptop or your smart phone, it's good time to have a cup of Darjeeling tea, share your pictures with your friends or clear your emails.
