Wenger's is 100. Delhi has changed. Its appetite for the bakery hasn't

This article celebrates the centennial anniversary of Wenger's, an iconic Delhi bakery with a rich history dating back to 1924. Founded by Jeanne Sterchi Wenger and H.C. Wenger as a catering service for the British Army, the bakery evolved into a beloved institution known for its traditional European-inspired treats like French bread, Swiss chocolates, and classic pastries. Over time, it became a staple of Delhi's social scene, operating from a historic building in Connaught Place that included a ballroom, private event space, and a European-style café. Despite the rise of modern bakeries with trendy menus and Instagrammable designs, Wenger's remains popular among locals for its timeless appeal, family traditions, and the presence of its elderly manager, Mr. Charanjeet Singh. The piece highlights the bakery's role as a cultural landmark that continues to attract generations of customers.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on the cultural significance of a historical bakery and does not present any politically charged content or take a stance on political issues. It is a celebratory piece highlighting tradition, heritage, and community, which aligns with a center-aligned perspective.
