This moving bakery in Bengaluru is bringing vegetarian Japanese shokupan, anpans, and karepans to your doorstep

Fillo Bakes, Bengaluru’s moving bakery, serves eggless Japanese milk bread, karepans and anpans with doorstep delivery across the city.

There was a time when bread — a household pantry staple — was not bought off virtual stores and websites. Instead, the ritual of buying the perfect loaf involved a visit to the local bakery to check on the softest one, or even better, a cycle vendor with bags full of warm bread and buns.

It is this nostalgic memory that drew Neha S Nirmal and Nischal Vasant Meethal to launch Fillo Bakes, a moving bakery in Bengaluru. The duo come with years of experience in the F&B space, and collectively founded former brands including Couch Potato (a chain of QSRs), Elements Bistro (a continental restaurant in Mysore), before launching Fillo Bakes, a 100% vegetarian Japanese-inspired bakery, in December 2025.

“Growing up, many of us remember the warmth of local bakeries: the smell of fresh bread in the evening, picking up pav for dinner, or buns for tea. We realised fresh food is something that Indians love and fresh bread was our focus so we decided to keep Fillo Bakes direct-to-consumer with our moving bakery,” says Neha, the brand’s director, who oversees product development, R&D, and kitchen operations.

The travelling bakery concept, she says, brings that nostalgia back — fresh bread reaching neighbourhoods directly. “Like households subscribe to milk from homegrown brands, we believe bread can become a similar daily staple,” she adds.
