River City Sweet Shop & Cameo Cakes Bakery — Restaurant in Wichita

We walked by their pop-up shop in the east side mall. There were no prices displayed and we found out why after ringing up at the register.

We purchased 1 cupcake, 1 dirt n' worms puding cup, a pack of 3 chocolate strawberries for a total of $21. We asked why that seemed highly proced, and the manager mentioned that the strawberries were the most expensive item totaling $11.

We continued the purchase because we were already at the finish line but thought that was an outrageous price for three strawberries. It may have been justified had they been the freshest, sweetest tangy berry bites that I'd ever sunk my teeth into.

Unfortunately, they were not.

The chocolate strawberries may as well have passed through an elephant's digestive system over the course of a year coming out "chocolate covered" and soft. The cupcake's texture was the consistency of the manna falling from the sky in Israel and tasted just as old. Purchasing the dirt n' worms, I assumed it must be a play on words insinuating chocolate pudding and gummy worms; no, it was, in fact, literal soil and earthworms...also left to harden for years in the desert with the cupcakes.

I called to schedule my daughters birthday party and the lady that answered the phone took my information and said that their "scheduler" was out and would be in the next day and she would give me a call. I never received a phone call the next day so I called again, and the girl that answered said the "scheduler" was out! I explained that someone was supposed to get back to me and she said she would call the lady and have her call me. I never received a phone call. I called a third time (only because my 6 yr old was really looking forward to having a cupcake party), again the "scheduler" was out so the girl asked me what date I wanted to have the party and I told her, she said that she was going to call the "scheduler" as soon as we hung up and have her call me right away, again NO phone call. I gave up and booked the party somewhere else. Today (4 days before the date I wanted to have the party) I get a phone call from a girl wanting to confirm my party details, I explained to her what had happened and that I booked the party some place else, and her response was "okay well I was just told to give you a call to confirm" not a single "I'm sorry" I would give less than a one...

So I had originally gave a great review, but the last 3 times; they have been closed with no notice (F.B or even a note on the door!) I had to FB message to find out they had a big corp'order and couldnt help, open or serve the everyday customer. There hours/days change often of when they will be open. I've been in with no stock... I went in the other day and there was no cookies which they brag about. 4 types of cupcakes and a few cake pops. The owner said the cookies were to hard, but might be able to make some later if I wanted to come by later? (It was 1pm. You knew they were hard when you made them; why didn't you remake them then?) It seems they worry about more corp' larger oders then walk-ins. I would suggest you might want to figure out to what audience you want to cater to?! Its sad, because the chocolate chip cookies are amazing, but I don't have time to work around your schedule, or come back when you can cater to everyday...
