My husband and I walked into the bakery looking for something to help my sweet tooth craving. The smell in the shop was devine and I was so excited to get one of the pastries or cakes. When we asked if one of the pastries was lemon, the worker stated "no habla english" even though we said the word lemon which is the same in Spanish and English. She then simply ignored us so we walked out without purchasing anything. I felt like I was of the right ethnicity so my business was not welcome there.

Entré aquí para comprar un poco de pan. La chica que estaba trabajando tenía una actitud desagradable, cuando le pregunté por qué tenía una actitud, ella dijo con una actitud "No tengo una actitud". Todo el tiempo que estuvo "ayudándome" estuvo en su teléfono. No volveré a ir aquí de nuevo.

We purchased a white gluten free cake with whipped cream and fruit.. It had strawberries and peaches on top and the middle layer was pineapple. Fantastic cake!

  • Gema Paz

La persona que atiende , un señor calvo, tiene una actitud muy hostíl. Uno hace preguntas y el señor contesta de mala gana. Prefiero ir a otra panadería.
