The Crown Bakery at Bazaar Road in Mylapore.
At Bazaar Road in Mylapore, lined with a diversity of shops, “hoary-haired” enterprises show up with impressive frequency. Aged 121, The Crown Bakery wins the demographic tug-of-war among these old enterprises hands down.
Established in 1905 by Kanthasamy Mudaliar, the reins of the shop would be passed on to the current family, the descendants of M. Srinivasan, an admirable torch-bearer of this patiently baked legacy, for several decades.
