The video was reportedly filmed at the brand's Runwal Greens outlet in Mulund West, Mumbai. The user who uploaded the video wrote: 'I cannot believe that this is the condition of Theobroma. My friend and I visited today in the evening, and this is literally what we were going to place an order for.' Social media outraged The video has triggered widespread outrage online, with many users expressing their disappointment in the comments section. 'There is no good brand left in India now,' one user wrote. Another added: 'I used to love their croissants, and now I will never be able to step my foot inside Theobroma again.'
