Literary Charm Meets Wholesome Craft: All Things Breakfast Launches Jane Austen–Inspired ‘Darcy & Company’ Granola Collection

Literary Charm Meets Wholesome Craft: All Things Breakfast Launches Jane Austen–Inspired ‘Darcy & Company’ Granola Collection

Pondicherry, India, 19 December 2025: All Things Breakfast Pvt. Ltd. (ATB), a new-age food enterprise committed to reconnecting food with happiness, has announced the launch of its flagship brand, Darcy & Company. Based in the culturally vibrant town of Pondicherry, the micro-bakery specialises in artisanal, small-batch breakfast essentials, beginning with a thoughtfully curated range of protein- and fibre-enriched granolas.

Marking the launch is The Jane Austen Anthology, a limited-edition granola collection celebrating the 250th birth anniversary of one of literature’s most beloved authors. Drawing inspiration from the elegance, romance, and contrasts of Austen’s novels, the collection seamlessly blends literary storytelling with mindful nutrition.

Darcy & Company is the passion project of Rashmi Naik, Founder of All Things Breakfast. After over two decades in the corporate world, Naik embarked on a mid-life journey—alongside a close circle of friends and “sisters”—to create a brand rooted in purpose, better nutrition, and joy.

“Somewhere along the way, we started swinging between breakfasts that were super healthy but tasteless and those that were indulgent but carb-heavy,” says Rashmi Naik. “Darcy & Company is about restoring balance. Food should bring joy, not anxiety. Our granolas are made with activated seeds, local grains, and single-origin Indian ingredients, ensuring they are clean, nourishing, and genuinely delicious.”

Named after a cherished literary character, the brand reflects timeless charm, thoughtful craftsmanship, and emotional connection—values that are brought to life through its inaugural collection.

The Jane Austen Anthology transforms iconic settings and moods from Austen’s novels into culinary expressions. Each blend is inspired by a literary pairing and a classic flavour profile, from buttery shortbread notes inspired by Pride and Prejudice to elegant chocolate-orange nuances reflecting Emma. The range celebrates contrasts between rustic simplicity and refined elegance, marrying globally inspired flavours with premium, locally sourced Indian ingredients.

At the heart of Darcy & Company lies a strong commitment to quality, trust, and sustainability. Granolas are prepared in small batches and slow-baked only upon receiving orders, ensuring exceptional freshness. Ingredients are ethically and locally sourced, including oats from Kerala, nuts and seeds from Auroville, and single-origin chocolate from Pondicherry and Wayanad. A key differentiator is the use of activated nuts and seeds, soaked in saline water to enhance nutritional value and digestibility.

Beyond the product, the brand is driven by a purpose-led philosophy, focused on building a values-driven organisation that prioritises conscious consumption, transparency, and a respectful workplace culture.

“Darcy & Company is more than a micro-bakery,” adds Naik. “It’s about making mornings soulful and effortless. We want breakfast to be the new dinner—the most anticipated and enjoyable meal of the day.”

Darcy & Company’s granola range, including The Jane Austen Anthology, is now available for nationwide orders.

After more than a decade of being Mumbai’s go-to destination for authentic Japanese cuisine, Kofuku Mumbai enters an exciting new chapter as Tokki Tora. While the name has evolved, the heart of the brand remains unchanged. The flavours, the hospitality, and the spirit that Mumbai has cherished over the years continue just as before.

Kofuku has long been synonymous with soulful Japanese flavours, warm tatami-style dining, and memorable moments shared with friends and family. With Tokki Tora, the brand embraces its evolution through a fresh and playful identity that reflects its deep-rooted connection with guests and its vibrant personality.

At the centre of this transformation is Tokki Tora’s spirited rabbit mascot, a charming symbol of warmth, joy, and human connection. More than a visual element, the mascot acts as a friendly ambassador for the brand, embodying Tokki Tora’s promise of thoughtful hospitality and memorable dining experiences delivered with a playful twist. To celebrate this rebrand, Tokki Tora is set to roll out surprise giveaways, immersive Instagram-worthy moments, and engaging guest interactions. Curated collaborations and special pop-ups are also planned, making this transformation more than a name change—it marks a cultural moment for Japanese and Korean dining in Mumbai.

Sharing his thoughts on the rebrand, Amit Goel, Stakeholder, said, “Kofuku has been a beautiful journey filled with memories, people, and joy. As we turn the page, I’m excited to introduce Tokki Tora, carrying that same spirit forward in a new light. Our rabbit mascot brings playfulness and warmth, creating a deeper connection with every guest. This is not just a new name, but an evolution of the love we’ve built together, now with even more character and energy.”

Despite the new identity, guests can continue to enjoy the same much-loved menu offerings, including meticulously crafted sushi, comforting ramen bowls, delicate dim sums, and Korean Hengbok favourites such as Shin Noodle Soup, Vegetable Kimbap, and Fried Korean Chicken.

With outlets across Andheri, Lower Parel, and Powai, Tokki Tora proudly carries forward Kofuku’s culinary legacy while redefining the modern Japanese dining experience—authentic yet playful, rooted yet evolving.
