Vanilla Beans Launches the Strawberry Menu Mumbai Has Been Waiting For

Vanilla Beans celebrates strawberry season with a lush new menu starring Nutella, fresh strawberries, crispy kunafa, and buttery crumble. A Mumbai favourite returns.

A New Strawberry Menu That Mumbai Was Waiting For

Every year, when winter tiptoes into Mumbai, the city’s cravings shift to one defining flavour: strawberries. Bandra’s beloved dessert kitchen, Vanilla Beans, understands this ritual better than anyone. Their seasonal strawberry menu has always been a quiet phenomenon, the kind that spreads through group chats and birthday plans long before it drops on Instagram.

This year, Vanilla Beans returns with a menu that feels equal parts nostalgia and ingenuity, anchored by their iconic Nutella Strawberry Cake and elevated further with two new textural signatures.

The Nutella Strawberry Cake That Built a Following

If you’ve lived in Mumbai long enough, you already know this one. The Nutella Strawberry Cake is the dessert that refuses to lose its throne. Made with homemade strawberry compote, fresh handpicked berries, and that unmistakably lush Nutella finish, it has become a seasonal tradition.

Part of its charm lies in its adaptability. You can order it as a celebration cake, a cute bento, or the wildly popular dessert tub for one, starting at ₹250. The tubs are especially dangerous in the best way possible — far too easy to finish, far too easy to reorder.

New Signatures: Kunafa Crunch Meets Nutella Silk

Strawberry season 2025 introduces two new headliners that lean heavily into texture — Vanilla Beans’ favourite design element.

Nutella Strawberry Krispy Kunafa

This one is a delightful surprise. Imported kataifi adds a crackling crunch, while their house-made pistachio paste brings a mellow nuttiness under the fresh strawberry slices. The contrast against smooth Nutella is addictive, and honestly, quite clever.

Nutella Strawberry Crunchy Crumble

If you prefer a buttery crumble moment, this one lands beautifully. The top is crisp and golden, the base creamy and lush. It feels like a familiar childhood crumble, just reimagined for the Nutella generation.

Both creations do exactly what Rohit Desai, co-founder of Vanilla Beans, says they set out to do: engage multiple senses. Every spoonful has tension, contrast, softness, and snap — the quiet luxury of dessert engineering.

Beyond Nutella: A Full Strawberry Collection

The 2025 strawberry menu is not limited to Nutella combinations. Also on offer:

• Belgian Dark Chocolate Strawberry for those who like their sweetness balanced

• Biscoff Strawberry for cinnamon biscuit lovers

• Strawberry Cheesecake for a smooth, creamy finish

• Vegan and sugar-free options for thoughtful eating

All available as full cakes, bento cakes, or dessert tubs. With pricing starting at ₹250, it’s designed for gifting, celebrations, and those impulsive weekday indulgences.

Meet the Makers: A Dessert Legacy Built in Bandra

Vanilla Beans is one of those rare cloud kitchens that has built a name purely through craft and consistency. Led by the mother-son duo Deepa and Rohit Desai, the brand is known for same-day baking, seasonal menus, and flavours that feel both comforting and modern.

Their mango and strawberry menus have become annual events, marking the city’s seasons more reliably than the weather.
