Cafe Banduke — Restaurant in Palanga

my family and i came here for years, since maybe 2019 and we absolutely loved it, however through the years it has gotten increasingly worse. we usually come here for breakfast (as it has a few sandwiches and is seemingly the only place in palanga that does so) but nearly every time the bread comes burnt and is literally inedible. i would understand if it was a bit browned and we could actually bite into it- that wouldn’t be an issue- but in some places it was literally black and we were unable to even make a dent in the bread. The reason i’ve decided to write this review, however, is mainly because of the staffs disgusting service. We had ordered our sandwiches and a basket of chips alongside it, they brought the sandwiches out (keep in mind they’re hot sandwiches so it’s not like they’re displayed they had to make them) and we had to wait over 30 minutes for chips!! it was around 11:00 so it hadn’t just opened, and there was only one other family so it wasn’t overly busy either. When the chips came we started eating and we all could literally not bite into the sandwich due to it being burnt. We went to complain and the staff did not offer us any compensation, they said it was our fault we couldn’t eat it as it looked fine and basically told us to go away. At that point we had already paid and we didn’t want an argument so we just left. 3 sandwiches, a basket of chips, and 2 coffees costed us €30 and it had gone to waste. only good thing is the coffee and the pizza looks like it came from the freezer in maxima. would give zero but one is the minimum, please fix your attitudes and your cooking they’re both as bad as...

Upon arrival, I was immediately informed that smoking e-cigarettes outside the establishment was prohibited and that I would need to go out to the street to smoke. This was not a great start, but I proceeded to order two types of sandwiches. The chicken sandwich was good; however, the pulled pork sandwich was disappointing, as it was overly saturated with BBQ sauce. Additionally, the homemade lemonade was excessively sweet, made from syrups and carbonated water, with only a bit of lime and half a strawberry added. Furthermore, the "eco-friendly" straws disintegrated by the time our sandwiches arrived, rendering them unusable due to the moisture. Also the prices are higher unnormal, for two people we had to pay 22,80€ (two sandwiches, two "home made"...

Very disappointing. This place is like “oh, look at me, I’m on a main promenade, I’m soooo great!”. And that’s basically it. It’s very small, the interior is nothing special, rather the cheapest and lowest quality materials from IKEA, it lacks the atmosphere, the prices are overestimated, and what you get is not that good. The cakes, all the sweets are not local made, but rather bought in a supermarket. I saw donuts in there, exactly the same donuts that I bought in Maxima. The price, of course, was nothing like the one in Maxima. The waitress was not polite. She wasn’t impolite either, it’s just she was lacking the attitude like the whole place. Self service and no Wi-Fi. So, I generally do not recommend it. The...
