Since it’s the oldest patisserie in Trieste and my father was having his bday, I decided to be safe and order here a Schwarzwald cake which we both like a lot. Quite pricey ( €55 ) for a 8 people cake, but I knew it was worth it.

We were all disappointed when my father cut it and we saw that most of the cake was basically whipped cream + some chocolate chips and (very nice in this case) cherries. Since the situation (bday) sort of required to have a piece, a couple of us got a piece, but we decided to save the rest (half) to ask for clarifications at the shop.

When I went back and expressed my disappointment, I was first asked if I was a baker (implying I don’t know anything about my favorite cake I ate in dozen other places) and was told that since the cake was partially eaten, I was not entitled to a partial discount or another sweet to make up the price and the “save” the bday at home.

It’s a pity because the place looks great and also their products are otherwise nice, and am really proud of it. But this was a disappointment and I will never come back again given the price paid and the answers received.
