What people say, in short
Brod is a Scandinavian bakery cafe on ECR that people repeatedly recommend, and one diner singles out its sandwiches as the best in the city. One commenter has heard its sourdough is excellent, and another says relatives on ECR rave about the pastries. A visitor who brought the family says the food and place won them over immediately, and one commenter feels it is worth travelling for. The lone caveat: a diner who has been there says the croissants no longer taste the way they used to. A newer Nungambakkam location is also mentioned.
