Wondrous warmth.

Cakes, gateaux, pastries, breads and snacks — baked fresh every day in two New Jersey kitchens, by a bakery that has been at it since 1993.

International by standards. Indian at heart.

The range

Eleven reasons to come in.

The counter changes through the day. This is what it is drawn from — the same list the ovens have worked to for thirty years.

Cakes are made to order — call the kitchen nearest you and they will talk you through flavour, size and how much notice they need.

Since 1993

A bake shop that went online before the internet arrived.

Country Oven began in 1993, envisioned by Dr. Sudhakar Rao Polsani as a bake shop with a lip-smacking range of baked goodies. Over the years it added fast food that is nutritious and wholesome, and multi-cuisine delicacies — an eclectic eatery catering to all taste buds.

In 1998 it launched countryoven.com, when the internet in India was in its nascent stage — among the first of its kind anywhere, offering online ordering of cakes and flowers so that Indians abroad could send something home.

From Hyderabad it reached Vizag, Vijayawada, the southern states, then the rest of India, and then these shores. The two New Jersey kitchens are the near end of that line.
