Goldilocks Bakeshop and Restaurant — Restaurant in Daly City

I feel like there was a language barrier because my family has bought cakes from the exact location for years and never had an issue when they order in Tagalog. I had to repeat myself multiple times and it was really hard to communicate which wasn’t the issue at all, it was the rudeness for every...
