El Guanaco Bakery y Café — Restaurant in Saint Paul

This bakery is small but bakery items are good. I rate it 2 star because the service is horrible. They are not pleasant at all. When you just go to buy pastry items, they just throw your items in a paper bag and don’t care that it will break, you end up just eating crumbs at home. If you sit down to eat, they take I’d say about 20-30 minutes to take your order, even when it’s not busy. It’s run by family members. Therefore everyone is the same. Look at you as if you came to bother them, instead of being happy you come to spend your money there. If you don’t care for bad service and evil looks, well this is the place for you.

I recommend the hen soup its very good and comes with rice and salad but they only have this dish on the weekends. The salad is the bag variety sold at the...

This review is NOT FOR EL GUANACO BAKERY, but it helps the people who go to shop there. Firehouse Towing & Transport are basically stealing your money if you go to shop there, I recommend you DO NOT PARK at the Storchak Cleaners parking lot. they are waiting for any vehicle that arrives and they take it away in less than 5 minutes, they leave it temporarily where you can't see it and they come for another vehicle when they have two or three they take them to their place which is about 15 minutes away and they charge you $430.00 when other companies charge you around $180.00 or $200.00 Basically they are taking over $200.00 per car from you, please DO...
