Upper Crust, when it was established in 1989, stocked a variety of breads, cakes, cookies, chicken rolls and sandwiches on Ahmedabad’s C.G. Road.

This venture of Lester D’Souza was an instant hit among the city’s foodies. D’Souza and his wife Monisha then started Cafe Upper Crust at Vijay Crossroads in the late 1990s and a few years later, set up Round the Corner at Vastrapur in Ahmedabad.

Both the cafes have, since, become famous for their chicken, minced mutton and sizzling platters. Breads and cookies in whole wheat, multi-grain and millet have been added for the nutrition conscious.

The bakery became famous, and led to the setting up of two franchise outlets at Nehrunagar and Shahibag. As Cafe Upper Crust overflowed with visitors, D’Souza started Upper Crust and More, in August 2008. Lately with the addition of an Upper Crust outlet in Prahladnagar in Ahmedabad, the chain is building a reputation of growing rapidly while still maintaining the quality that led to its success.
