Artes Bakery - Portuguese Cafe — Restaurant in Strathroy-Caradoc

Absolutely delicious. Very tasty baked goods, best custard-filled donut I ever had. Custard tart was also very nice. I highly recommend this bakery as a destination for fresh pastries. Service was terrible, bratty teenaged girls with huge egos too busy primping with zero concept of customer service of any sort, whether it’s waiting tables, bringing food out or cashing a customer out. Anywhere else and this trio would’ve been fired. So be warned about being served if you plan to sit down and enjoy with a coffee. One teenaged boy was busy picking up the slack for all of them - a bossy girl picked a fight with snarky remarks at a customer who paid but never got their coffees while the other girls just didn’t bother taking care of customers at all. It’s a large space with lots of seating but the bad service is a spectacle. The atmosphere would’ve been better if the girls working there treated customers better. Sandwiches are mediocre, chicken BLT was seasoned nice but very dry and tuna was spiced nicely but a little sparse on the bun. Sandwiches are served on fresh warm bread, which is very nice. I recommend sticking to the pastries, which are fantastic. The fresh baked goods make Artes Bakery absolutely worth the trip, whether it’s a day trip to Strathroy for something to do, to buy fresh pastries for the home or to bring a box as a guest to a dinner party. The poor service is a spectacle of circumstance so take it with a grain of salt with no expectations and you’ll enjoy the visit for the...

The one star is because I had to leave a star. I cannot begin to describe terrible experience my sisters and I had. We arrived to a very empty bakery. We are planning to have lunch and enjoy some coffee and desserts as well. As we ordered our meats the restaurant started to get a bit busy. The unprofessional young girl working behind the counter, took 25 minutes per person to cut 2 pounds of cold cuts. We all remain patient. She did not. The Disorganized manner they deal with serving each person is ridiculous. There is no order others after us were served. As the other workers helped others that arrived after us, we still remained patient. After one year we returned as we tried to give them a second chance thinking is was maybe a one off. Today we experienced the exact same. This time we decided to leave after our first order. After waiting, she served everyone that came after us. This bakery is unprofessional is run by teenagers without any customer service experience judging by what we experienced this past two times. Her condescending tone and bad attitude will be sure to drive good customers away. Good luck. You lost seven customers today. We went around the corner and had a variety of choices in bakeries with better...

This bakery made the cake for my son's wedding. They delivered it at an earlier time then i said. When we saw it, it was leaning. The fondant was destroyed by the way they applied the flowers. The fondant was too thick and tasted terrible. There were so many mistakes on this cake it made me cry .i was supposed to be happy to see the cake but i was very disappointed. I went to talk to the owner of this bakery today and she showed no sympathy,instead she put all the blame on us.the taste of the chocolte cake was very bitter. Please do not order a wedding cake from this bakery. I wish i would have seen this cake before i paid for it. I would not have paid. I could have done a better job and i am just...
