Dealing with this bakery brought nothing but regret for us. The experience with their bread was also beyond horrible. I made a mistake ordering Birthday Cake at this local bakery as we like to support local small businesses. The Birthday Cake was absolutely awful & relatively expensive! The taste was horrible & it had too much icing along with excessive food coloring that stayed on our children's tongues for at least two days!!! The cake itself tasted bland. When complained about it, instead of an apology, the owner with a strange accent, spoke in a bullying manner & just kept blabbing about the baker's credentials (which was not impressive at all as we are well traveled & know very well about food & deserts & well known culinary schools). He kept repeating how they "never had such complaints" & saying IRRELEVANT things such as "the bakery had been at the location for many years"!!! On another occasion when a relative unaware of our experience with the beefy and very rude owner, purchased a lemon tart from Westview Bakery and a loaf of bread, all of us who were offered to try the tart, had to SPIT OUT the first bite we took of the HORRIBLE thing as it seemed loaded with artificial flavoring essences! It tasted like chemicals! The worst of them all was the SILVERFISH that was in the bread!!! Absolutely DISGUSTING!!! Since we'd been aware of the bully owner's attitude and absence of courtesy in his behavior when faced with customers' concerns & complaint, we decided that we're SO done with this bakery & its extremely discourteous owner! We realized bringing any issue to his attention would be useless & waste of some precious minutes of our lives as we predicted that we'd have to listen to nonsense from the ill-mannered owner, according to our bitter previous experience with him. Do yourselves a favor & save yourselves time & unnecessary headache by NOT wasting your hard earned money at this place as there are many other great bakeries around in our area that are cleaner with healthier options & much better tasting baked goods with much...
   Read moreTerrible experience. Bought a black forest cake for my mother's birthday. Two people out of sixteen people at the party lost crowns off their teeth due to the cherries in the middle being so sticky and hard. The owner told me they used the decorative cherries that are usually on top of the cake and put those in the middle, something happened to them in the middle of the cake.....He then proceeded to tell me it was not his cake's fault that eating an apple could have done this and he is not in the dental business. I could see this if it was one person's crown, but two people??? Everyone at the party agreed this was the strangest black forest cake they had ever eaten. I was very disappointed in the way the owner handled the situation, first he took a full week to get back to me, then when he did he offered me another cake, would I really want this experience again?? I really feel sorry for the women in the bakery working for this man. There are so many other fabulous bakeries around that i will not be going back there again. I went there to support our neighborhood bakery, won't...
   Read moreWe picked up a Too Good to Go bag from Westview Bakery. Super impressed with what we got. Everything in the bag was bread, but we got sooo much of it! Very good value and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another Too Good To Go bag from this bakery again.
While I was there I took a quick look around at some of the other goods this bakery carries besides bread. I was pretty impressed with what I saw. Macarons, strudels, cakes, pies, and tarts were amongst the goods they carried. The cakes looked really good and by today's standards, I thought the prices were quite reasonable. Black Forest, Double Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Mocha Cake, and Blueberry Cheesecake were a few of the cakes I saw. The cheesecakes were $16.99 while the other cakes were $34.99.
Don't know how it is that I'd never gone into this bakery before but I would definitely consider going there again sometime and buying something that isn't a Too...
