| - Went to this place today just after 1:00PM to try something gluten-free (their website says they have gf available without special ordering in Junior size cupcakes, or full size cupcakes) It was really disappointing when we arrived there (It was not super easy to locate) only to find their counter completely empty. I assumed maybe they keep the goodies in the back? Nope.
The woman who worked at this place sauntered out from the back and immediately seemed annoyed by our smiling/excited presence. When I told her I was excited to try something gluten-free she responded with "were out" I asked her if they have made it so the gf items require a special order now, or if they are just out for today. I also mentioned I was asking because it was my first time at this establishment. Her response? "You just came on a bad day"
This establishment has such good reviews with yelpers, and I was really excited to try this place as their pictures look amazing, and they seem to take cakes seriously. I was keen to have a new go-to bakery this close as it is a 5 minute walk from my new place, and in my new neighbourhood.
I have not tried their baked goods yet but I can tell you overall it was highly disappointing. The service person was supremely cold, lacking in energy and unfriendly. She should have at least been a little more descriptive, receptive, caring, lively, or consider offering or recommending alternative bakeries or establishments in the area, or maybe she could have invited us to return when they actually have product to sell? Nope. I saved my check-in coupon for a free junior cupcake on first visit, I am hoping to return one more time to see if they actually have some product available to try. Can anyone recommend another good gf bakery near to me in Liberty Village/Parkdale where they bring the gf items and hold the sass? Thanks.
