A neighbourhood bakery on Gotri Road
One copper-bottomed oven, a scooter, and a list of neighbours who kept asking for more cookies.
Copper Oven started in 2016 in a second-floor flat on Gotri Road. Rhea Mehta had come back to Vadodara after five years of baking professionally and could not find a cookie made with real butter at a price anyone would pay. So she baked a batch for the building, then for the building next door, and by the end of that year the kitchen was running six days a week.
What we buy has always mattered more than what we say. Cultured butter rather than margarine or bakery shortening, single-origin cocoa from small Idukki estates, stone-ground atta milled for us in Padra, jaggery from Kolhapur and whole spices we grind ourselves. There is no artificial essence, no premix and no bread improver anywhere in the kitchen, which is also why our shelf lives are short and honest.
Eggless is not a compromise here. Roughly six in ten orders we send out are eggless, so every recipe was developed twice - once with egg and once without - until both versions were worth selling. Ask for the eggless version of anything on this page and it costs the same. Our FSSAI licence is displayed at the counter and printed on every box.

What customers say
“I have been ordering the nankhatai for my mother-in-law every month for two years. It tastes like the one she remembers from her mother’s kitchen, and the eggless bakes are actually eggless - no vague answers when I ask.”
“Ordered a custom eggless red velvet for my daughter’s first birthday on two days’ notice. It reached Ahmedabad the next morning, cold and perfect, and they spelled her name right.”
