Dolphin Bakes & Ice Creams at Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway

For travellers on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway, finding a good food stop is key to breaking up the journey and recharging for the miles ahead. Recently, I had the chance to explore two branches of Dolphin Bakes & Ice Creams — popular spots on this route—and it was a delightful experience. Here’s a peek into what makes Dolphin Bakes and Ice Creams worth a stop and how you can make the most of your visit.

Dolphin Bakes & Ice Creams Location Highlights: Two Convenient Stops

Dolphin Bakes & Ice Creams has two branches along the Bengaluru-Mysuru Express Highway, making it easily accessible whether you’re headed towards Mysuru or back to Bengaluru. The first branch comes up just after crossing Channapatna if you’re travelling from Bengaluru, while the second is located near Maddur on your return journey.

Both spots offer a variety of bakery treats, savouries, and ice cream—a perfect combination for those looking for quick yet tasty bites.

First Impressions and Ambience

Dolphin's set-up is simple yet spacious, with both branches accommodating around five to six families comfortably. The seating area has enough tables and chairs, and the lighting is pleasant, giving it a welcoming vibe.

The property is clean and well-maintained, with restroom facilities (Western and Indian options) that are clean and usable, which is a big plus for travellers.

While I didn’t notice air conditioning, the moderate crowd meant it was still comfortable. And for families, Dolphin is definitely a good option since the service is table-based, making it convenient for dining together.

Service and Additional Facilities

Dolphin offers table service, which is a nice break from the usual self-service style at many highway food stops. Payments are accepted via cash, UPI, and credit cards, adding to the convenience factor. Although there isn’t dedicated parking, parking right in front of the outlet was hassle-free.

Final Thoughts

Dolphin Bakes & Ice Creams is a good option if you’re looking for a quick, tasty stop along the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway. Its variety of food options, combined with clean facilities and comfortable seating, makes it an ideal break during the drive.

For long-haul travellers, though, you might want to check out TripAdvisor for lodging options if you’re considering an overnight stay.
