Used to get dessert from this place all the time, but their fruit-based desserts have grown very hit-or-miss over the last 6-7 months. Last night’s purchase, though, was the final straw.

I walked into the bakery and ordered a slice of coconut pie and an all-strawberry fruit tart. Knowing how inflation is hurting small businesses, I tipped them 20%, bringing my total to around $15.

Once I got home with the dessert, I realized the coconut pie tasted like usual (a little dry from sitting in the display case), but the fruit tart was rancid mush.

The fruit tart tasted was so off-putting I called the bakery to suggest they remove the other fruit tart from the display case so someone wouldn’t get sick. After nobody answered the phone I wrote to them privately on social media, but received no response. This lack of customer acknowledgment kind of jives with what I’ve experienced before.

I walked in and ordered a multi-fruit fruit tart in late May and had to walk all the back to tell them it tasted funny. The guy behind the counter told me to buy a new tart if I didn’t like that one. I was like, “Ehh, maybe he was having a bad day.” I thought nothing of it, but didn’t make any more purchases with them, until last night.

Normally, I shy away from writing reviews which aren’t complimentary, but I’m hoping one of the owners of the bakery reads this and takes steps to improve the quality of their desserts, as well as acknowledge customer concerns in a timely manner.
