Nōdo Hosts Puffin Weekend, Bringing Mumbai Its First Viral Japanese Cream Sandwich Experience
After taking over TikTok and Instagram feeds across the world, the viral Japanese Cream Sandwich has officially found its way to Mumbai through Nōdo’s signature interpretation — The Puffin.
Known for its soft, pillowy texture, clean-cut aesthetic, and indulgent fillings, the Puffin has quickly become one of Nōdo’s most talked-about offerings. The format first gained attention locally with the brand’s signature Chocolate Puffin and Biscoff Puffin, both of which introduced Mumbai’s food lovers to the now globally recognised Japanese-style cream sandwich trend.
Taking the experience a step further, Nōdo is now hosting The Puffin Weekend, a limited-edition showcase from 22nd to 24th May, featuring five new Puffin flavours for the very first time — Cookies & Cream Puffin, Tiramisu Puffin, Sesame Tofu Puffin, Egg Salad Puffin, and Mince Chicken Puffin.
Designed as a short-format food experience, The Puffin Weekend brings together sweet, savoury, and experimental profiles, offering guests a chance to discover different versions of the viral sandwich under one menu. From the familiar comfort of Cookies & Cream and Tiramisu to the unexpected depth of Sesame Tofu and the savoury appeal of Egg Salad and Mince Chicken, the menu is built to capture the versatility of the format.
As the only destination in Mumbai currently offering this experience, Nōdo is bringing a global digital food trend into a local café context — making the Puffin as much about discovery as it is about taste. At a time when food culture is increasingly shaped by what people see, share, and seek out online, the Puffin sits at the intersection of texture, flavour, and visual appeal.
For Mumbai’s food lovers, The Puffin Weekend marks a chance to try the viral Japanese Cream Sandwich experience in a curated, limited-edition format — available only for three days. With The Puffin Weekend, Nōdo continues to build on its identity as a space that brings global café trends into Mumbai in a way that feels fresh, accessible, and rooted in the city’s evolving food culture.
