I used to LOVE this bakery years ago and was a regular. Came back today and saw staff having the worst attitude, not welcoming and overall not helpful, I bought three items and asked to cut my sourdough(like I used to have before and like how other bakeries do, like it is a basic service) and sales lady said WE DONT CUT BREAD.
