Gourmet Goodies — Restaurant in Daphne

If I could rate a ZERO, I would. I paid $100 for a cake that came in a box that was TOO SMALL for the cake, and the cake was ruined because of it. When I called to ask the owner if its typical for cakes to be sent home in boxes too small, she told me that the cake fits, they just didn't want to close the lid to ruin the topper ...understood, but I have detailed photos as proof (if I can attach them, I will), showing that the cake CLEARLY is entirely too small to fit the box. When I told her this, she told me that I could bring the cake back for a refund --- AND SHE HUNG UP ON ME!!! As a woman, of the church, representing the church, and as a Christian myself, I would expect MUCH more decency from her in this situation ...and at the very least, for her not to hang up on me when I am in mid-sentence! I am so disappointed, and in tears. A Paw Patrol cake is one of the ONLY things my little boy wanted for his birthday party to share with his friends, and now he doesn't have that. She didn't even offer to touch it up!!!! She just told me she'd take the cake back and refund me ...AND THEN HUNG UP ON ME?!?!?! SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. I just moved to Fairhope two weeks ago, and was looking forward to using Gourmet Goodies for years to come ...but I WILL NEVER give them, or Coastal Cafe, my service or...

Updated to add: I had suspected that their famed crawfish king cake lacked actual crawfish based on the pictures they provided, their clever way of writing, and their lack of transparency from past experiences.

Saw the read the message within an hour after sending.... But have yet to get back to me... 4 months later.

Original review: Very nice people, great treats, although not all of them are made from scratch in house.

Numerous items are either frozen and baked or picked up from Sam's Club. I was told they MADE their scones, and even suggested flavor combinations to try (while the cashier nodded in agreement and confirmed "we'll have to look into that, that sounds great!"), only to find out they are pillsbury premade...

I was happy to find a place in Daphne that had prepared meals. The shop was nice and the employees very friendly. All the cookies and goodies displayed looked delicious. I purchased 3 different entrees (2 with chicken and one crawfish). They all did taste good but there was very little meat in the dishes. The first one we tried was a chicken, bacon ranch noodle dish. My husband said “I thought this was supposed to have chicken in it.” The exact thing I was thinking to myself. Very little chicken or bacon. The other meals we had the same experience. Although it was convenient, it wasn’t worth the price. Most of the dishes sounded good but I’m not sure I want to pay $25 for...
