La Creme Bakery — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I wrote this review awhile back and still stand by it! HOMOPHOBIA (which is just another form of racism) SHOULD NOT BE SUPPORTED NOR TOLERATED!!

So I will start by saying that I actually enjoyed the baked goods I tried at La Creme Bakery's table at The Food and Wine Festival recently. The eclairs were awesome! What I did NOT enjoy (hence the 1 star review) was the HOMOPHOBIC TREATMENT which my fiancé and I received! There were 2 ladies working behind the table. One of whom was an African-American woman who, while sitting in a chair in front of us, hardly acknowledged us, never really looked at us, and forced a one sided smile out of her mouth when I was speaking to them. The main person who helped us was so pleasant at the beginning of the conversation, but her energy quickly shifted when she realized the wedding cake we were inquiring about was for us....a gay couple! My fiancé expressed to her that he really loves Sweet Lady Jane's triple berry cake and asked if La Creme had anything comparable. The reply she gave us actually surprised me...her exact words were "Well maybe you should get your wedding cake from Sweet Lady Jane…She'd probably be cheaper than us anyway." and continued to keep working making it very obvious that she didn't want to talk to us. According to other yelp reviews I've read, it seems that we are not the only ones who've experienced this! Rebecca B.'s review is also about the service she received. It's really sad, because as I stated above....l really liked the baked goods I sampled. I just won't spend money (the same money everyone else makes) at a place where we are treated rudely. Shame on those 2 ladies for their ignorant attitudes! And my heart goes out to them for being so small minded. They are entitled to their beliefs... just as men were entitled to believe women shouldn't vote before August 18, 1920, when the 19th amendment passed allowing women the right to vote. Remember....behind every great man is a great woman! And behind every great woman is a...

I called to ask if they can make a small 8'' cake for a birthday. The first person I spoke to said they could have it done by the time specified. The person said to email the details of how I wanted the cake so I did. The n later I called to confirm if they received my email. Another person answered. She said yes they received it and they would call me back after they spoke to the baker. Then I got an email that said that they spoke to the baker and the baker said they couldn't make the cake, 'sorry'. This response had no explanation as to why they couldn't make the cake when the design was fairly simple and they had the all the ingridients they needed as per the first person I spoke to. And I was willing to pay whatever price they asked. This is bad customer service and I'll never buy anything from this place in the future. Shows their...

Today I tried calling to place an order and the person who answered the phone, name I did not get, but he was rude and completely ruined my mood.(Enough to make me post a bad review) We are planning a grand opening for my job and we would like to have cookies there to promote a local business but he was completely uninterested. His tone was snarky and he said he was not interested in working with us because our brand is based out of Beverly Hills. I guess he does not care about getting more business for the company he works for but now I will make sure to not recommend this business to any of...
