Pune-based dessert brand La Chérie has entered the Mumbai market, introducing its popular “Dancing Cloud” Japanese Cheesecake to the city’s premium bakery and confectionery space.
La Chérie, already well established in Pune, has built a following for its souffle-style cheesecake, noted for its light texture, subtle flavor, and distinctive jiggle. Unlike traditional dense or overly sweet cheesecakes, this version is baked in small daily batches without preservatives or artificial stabilizers, aligning with consumer demand for cleaner-label desserts.
“We wanted to offer something that feels familiar but unexpected — comforting yet refined,” says the team behind La Chérie. “The ‘Dancing Cloud’ is our take on understated indulgence — a cheesecake that doesn’t shout, but stays with you.”
The timing of La Chérie’s Mumbai expansion coincides with a growing interest in Japanese culinary formats, ranging from matcha-focused menus to omakase dining. The brand’s cloud kitchens in the city are producing its full cheesecake portfolio, though the Japanese variant is driving the most demand. Products are also available via online delivery platforms such as Swiggy and Zomato.
The brand’s pricing includes the Mini Dancing Cloud at Rs 299, a Chocolate variant at Rs 359, and the Big Dancing Cloud Whole Cheesecake at Rs 899 for group celebrations. The recipes avoid gelatin, compound chocolate, agar, or bulking agents, instead emphasizing technique, freshness, and ingredient transparency. Made with eggs, the Japanese cheesecake can be consumed either warm or chilled.
For the hospitality and retail industry, La Chérie’s entry represents a broader trend of premium, ingredient-focused desserts finding traction in India’s metro cities. With growing consumer awareness around processing methods and clean-label positioning, its Japanese-style cheesecake is positioned to become a recurring offering in Mumbai’s evolving dessert segment.
