il Valentino Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in Dublin

Bought big chocolate cake around 15:30 for my friend's birthday. The birthday message text on the cake was all over the place, your staff by the cashier kindly tried to re-position each letter on the cake collecting them from the bottom of the cake box. Letter B for birthday was totally broken so I had to deliver a cake that says "Happy irthday" on it. Your staff told me that there is nobody in the shop to rewrite the message so I had to take it the way it is. What is not nice is that you are well able to charge me 35 euros 1 day before you prepare the cake, you are a bakery: making cakes is not your side job but your main business, you are making cakes for people's special days. But you don't have someone in your shop to make a small B letter in time of need. You are giving me a cake that says Happy irthday on it and expect me to mortify myself delivering this to my friend. This happened around withing normal working hours, how come a bakery does not have anyone in-house to do a small letter? Birthdays happen once a year, I can't bring another cake the next day, if you are in this business you need to make sure that you are doing it right. If it was my shop and if was selling birthday cakes and if I fail to deliver what I am supposed to deliver I would either charge only the half or offer a gift of other products as an apology. Something unexpected might have happened maybe your staff was sick etc, I understand that but as a business you need to know to compensate problems...

We used to love going here every weekend since it's local to me and the pastries are delicious but will no longer be coming back.
