Renovation is beautiful. The protein bowl is good. Service could be improved. Overall, good experience. Nice new menu options!

Congratulations on your 25 years ! We finally made it here after the renovation. We’re so disappointed ☹️ The new menu board was not designed for a senior to read ! Nor anyone who is nearsighted. And the single line up for bakery or dining in (or take out) has not relieved the confusion or congestion. It does seem brighter and more spacious, but the designer failed in other areas in our opinion. Thank goodness for the paper menus! Even with glasses, I would have needed to go behind the till to read all the menu. Another senior lady came up beside me while I was in line and was also grateful to find the paper menu. Wishing you continued success.

Just visited after their store renovations. The interior is very uncluttered and open. Cleaner and more up-scale. New counters and tables. Very nice. However, the number of pastries has declined and the prices have doubled since I was last in here. The sales clerk on the register was not very friendly / attentive. She made a mistake on the bill and then looked annoyed that she had to fix it. She told us they would bring our coffees to us, but after 5 minutes or more we had to ask someone about them and then it took another 5 minutes or more for them to be brought to us. Lots more servers but they don't appear to be organized.

Was my second time here. Had today the western omelette and an americano for breakfast. The omlette was very fluffy, to the point that it tasted bland. The portion was rather small. I was a bit disappointed as the one time before the pastry and coffee we had for lunch here was fabulous. Certainly a great place to buy pastry and baked goods.

We had a late breakfast today. It was pretty good, but my plate was not as full as I expected for the price. I was able to eat more so I had dessert too. Our table had some crumbs on it, but it was the cleanest one we could find. The other free tables we saw were worse, with dishes/glasses still on them. It may have been the patrons who lingered around on their way out after eating, but it felt more like a cafeteria than a cafe. The selection of deli items is good and the pastries on display are very tempting, so I will likely buy food to take home another time. They had a good selection of several fillings in their paczki in the lead up to “Fat Tuesday” (Mardi Gras).

everything is frozen and refrozen, staff are told to lie about it. cakes are baked, then frozen, then thawed and iced and displayed. even if you order a fresh cake it will have been frozen at one point or another, GUARANTEED. the cakes that don’t sell will be taken off display, scraped and put back in the freezer to be re-iced the next day. nearly nothing is made fresh but the bread and even then it is frozen over night, and the bakers are very dirty. most of the pastries are from boxes and staff are taught to lie about that aswell. no one has any idea what food safety is, i witnessed many deplorable practices in that building. the owner is disrespectful towards her hardworking staff and does nothing to show her gratitude for them carrying the weight of running the restaurant while she’s constantly on vacations. she underpays everyone and overworks them. makes promises she will never keep, like giving them an extra responsibility/ title, telling them they would be paid extra, then fighting it when the employee confronts her. she hides behind her beyond unpleasant and disrespectful HR lady. everyone has a bad attitude because it’s such a toxic workplace, which makes the environment very uncomfortable for customers and employees. there have been mold problems and bug problems, and they were never properly dealt with. i watched countless people come for their first day on the job and never come back. i watched many of her hardest working employees leave due to the disrespect they received. just don’t waste your money, or time here. it will never be worth it. you can find better quality at the walmart behind them…

It’s one of the most popular places in leamington to hangout. The baked goods available here are fresh and delicious. The seating arrangements are also decent. Variety of items are available here from breads to cakes and that too in various flavours. I really loved the ambience of this place. Deducted one star because there only couple variety available for vegan food .

Accounting for all three times I have been. The food itself was alright. The customer service was not good. Two out of the three times I ve been they forgot to bring me items that I ve ordered. The workers have been quite rude.

Beautiful bakery. Delicious food bread and desserts. Wonderful staff and an amazing atmosphere. Had the pulled pork sandwich which was amazing with a hand crafted cappuccino and hazelnut gelato.

November 22, 2024

If I could rate -100 stars, I would my mom and I spent over $300 in this pathetic excuse of a bakery The one item I had picked out because I have a few teeth due to a terminal illness and could have enjoyed. Was there hazelnut ice cream and some rude Asian woman brought the ice cream to the counter and spat in it while coughing all the way they still expected us to purchase the ice cream Without them even offering to replace it that is beyond disgusting especially in a COVID-19 world where coughing in this day in age could kill someone they would hope somebody doesn t report them to the health department for unsanitary practises is this kind of behaviour is just gross not to mention disrespectful.

I think they have new owners and may be experiencing growing pains. Also, I messaged them the week before to went to see if they had vegan options and they said they had sandwich and soup options. When I got there they didnt have any sandwich options but was offered the veggie sandwich without cheese or pesto for the same price (no lol), but they did give me a pumpkin soup without cream. It was just disappointing after driving 45 minutes from Windsor. The vegan tart was okay, but not worth $6. If they upped their vegan options Id definitely go back.

First time here not happy. We got takeout and no chips and we paid for a smal and a large and we only got smalls. Its not cooked either, the meat wouldnt even stay in the panini. Do not really recommend. Maybe if you get something other then the ham and Swiss sandwich.

Not a good first experience. 3 of us ordered together, a sandwich combo and a soup each. They got their soups and for some reason mine didnt come out until they were finished theirs. Then they got their sandwiches, but the guy that ordered after we sat down got his Clubhouse before mine came out. So all my food came out a good time after the my sister and her husband. Then we get some pastries to go before leaving, they forgot my brownie that we were charged for, we found out 2 hours later. Apparently the same thing happened last time my sister came. Next time I would skip the restaurant and double check the box of pastries before leaving. The food was good but not the service.

I live in the Windsor area and have visited many times. On Tuesday of this week, I brought a friend for lunch. I have never had an issue before, but on this day our server was so rude and abrupt and dismissive. We placed our order and found a table. Our food was delivered in a timely manner but 1 of the sandwiches were not delivered. When I inquired about it she looked at me and said you never ordered a 2nd sandwhich I responded with I believe I did. But instead of just saying, sorry I must have missed it and I will gladly get that for you, she turned kn her heels went back to the cash grabbed my receipt and slapped on the table and left. Although it wasnt on the receipt that didnt prove that I didnt order it, it only proved It was not included on our bill. She never did ask if I would like the sandwich. Terrible customer service.

Waited 20 minutes for a fried egg sandwich that wasnt even good.

Awesome baked goods, the meals are a little pricey but the food and atmosphere was so nice and pleasant I didnt mind paying a little more for the food. update: it is now about 5 yrs later, after I wrote that review, the place is going down hill, I had a very soggy slice of cake, and a very horrible scone, and a soggy apple turn overover these years of going there, and no refunds at all, only the servers looking at me like Im a bad person for complaining.

The selection and quality of food here is exciting! My bf is Sicilian, so he was like a kid in a candy shop! Lol! He said they carried things he hadnt seen in a while! We had the spinach and tortellini soup, (delish!) plus he had the Italian trio ciabatta sandwich (sp?). On our way out, we bought 2 delicious cheeses and prosciutto steak and a spicy salami. Beautiful! He regrets not buying dessert! Lol! Definitely coming back!

I have become a frequent customer at Lakeside Bakery for good reason. I cannot say enough great things about the staff, quality of the food and overall attention to detail and customer service. Whether it s stopping in for a quick lunch or catering larger events for my customers or friends and family the team at Lakeside gets it done 10/10 every time. I would highly recommend Lakeside to anyone looking for a kitchen that puts such heart and passion into their craft.

3 of us dined in and had sandwiches. They were the worst sandwiches Ive ever had. There was more big chunks of lettuce than any meat. For $15.00 I expect more than 3 thin slices of meat. We also purchased a variety of sweets and bread/rolls to take home. The bread and rolls were tasty and fresh. The sweets were nothing I would return again for. The staff is the best thing going for this place.

Updated* Tried the baked goods here again and was even more disappointed with the quality than I was the previous time. Its very clear that they thaw frozen desserts made by a third party vendor. I bake cheesecake all the time and these were disgusting and had that store bought flavour. The whipped cream on top is cool whip which is appalling for a bakery to use. No dairy flavour whatsoever and painfully sweet. Save your money and go to an actual bakery instead of one that masquerades as one The atmosphere is lovely but I cant say much for the food. Their baked goods are quite poor and I have eaten at a lot of bakeries. The desserts have no depth of flavour. Ordered a brownie and a chocolate mousse tart. Neither tasted chocolatey at all, just sweet. I couldnt even finish them because they were so sugary. Im not sure if people dont know what a decent baked good tastes like anymore or if they actually like them THAT sweet but it was inedible. .

They charged me for something not mine. I told him this is not mine he said no I didn t charge you for them. After I went to my table and I counted them again I went back to get receipt with details, he said sorry I didn t able to refund you because it was busy. If I didn t come back I didn t get my money. Take care guys when you visit this place check your stuff and ask for receipt with details. I don t recommend it, they did a mistake and they try to cover it by lying . Iam not sure if it was mistake or they do that in purpose. They can make extra money in this way Over five minutes between refund and receipt.

December 22, 2023

As a local customer I ve been purchasing bread and enjoying lunches here forever so you can imagine my surprise when the owner Danielle has made me jump through various obstacles and multiple conversations just to show I didn t receive a pastry order I paid in advance for. Even the employee has admitted she felt terrible for the incident, but since the owner is the only person to offer a refund or credit, she has reluctantly been willing to assist me in any manor. It saddens me to see how far customer service & the appreciation for the customer has fallen. I received more compassion and understanding from her employee then the owner herself. Sincerely a DISSATISFIED customer.

I ordered my fiancés regular in his honour. I let the staff know what had happened, and partway through our lunch they presented me with a box wrapped in a bow with a note and a lovely selection of pastries inside. I was moved to tears.

I dont like to leave negative reviews but the service is so horribly slow. We frequent this Airbnb yearly and always stop in for at least a coffee which is fine but everytime I order food it just takes so long to get it, my last order of a fried egg sandwich (just eggs n toast took 45 min.) Needless to say I only go in for a drink now. Too bad because the atmosphere and place are very nice.

Would not go again. I dont typically post reviews unless its warranted. We ordered pancakes and a sandwich to go. This took 30 minutes. The sandwich order was lost and finally one of the employees checked in with us to see what were were waiting for and told us that the printer had stopped working so our sandwich order got lost. When we finally got everything, with my arms full of our order and my coffee, we started to walk out and the waitress accidently bumped into me and said sorry but then proceeded to make a face and roll her eyes( Im not sure why she did this). Based on her costumerservice, I do not recommend this place and we will not be back.

I always liked Lakeside Bakery and shopped there for years. I did not make a big deal about getting 17 dollar worth of mouldy cheese a few weeks ago, but when I went back today without anyone telling me that my oder will be 25 minutes late, and combined with attitude - I was not happy. Because letting me know in time not to come yet, its too much I guess ... who cares about me waiting, because they are busy. Well I was too, and on a tight lunch break as well. I just hope that these are isolated incidents and doesnt happen too often. I wil return for sure, but hope a few things will change in the meantime. All the best.

The store has a beautiful interior with excellent staff, all the baked goods I have bought from here were excellent, Ive had nothing but good experiences here up until this point. However, when calling the store to ask a simple question about their hour of operations on a holiday, the lady who answers for general inquiry rudely hung up the phone without saying a word following my question. It doesnt matter whether or not the question is asked frequently, or considered dumb, it is ridiculously impolite to hang up on a customer without saying a word. That level of service (or lack thereof) was shocking, and completely unacceptable.

We walked in and a girl asked if my group and i needed help. I said yes and gave her my order. This girl then disappeared, and never came back. I was standing and waiting, and when I looked over she had gone to the cash register and began serving other customers who had just arrived in line. I ended up going to line up behind the customers who arrived after me, and when I got up to the register I asked the girl why she didnt tell me I had to go to the line to pay and grab my stuff. All she said with attitude was sorry, I thought I told you to go to the line I told her no you didnt. She rolled her eyes and continued to be unpleasant. I eventually talked to a manager who said she would talk to her about letting people know that they should go to the cash register to pay. But honestly she was just saying that to say that. Their customer service is awful. There were 4 people in the back chatting, and no one verbizing to customers that you need to go to the line after you get your bakery order in. This place is disorganized and dirty. Girl handling cash gloveless, touching her hair, and handling food too. Discusting experience. Get organized please.

The bakery looks good. The staff are not attentive. We ordered two meals and a small soup for three people. They brought the sandwiches, but one of us had to wait for about 20 additional minutes to get their soup. When they brought the tomato soup, they werent even apologetic. About the goods, most of the products are under Aurora name that you can easily find at a much cheaper in many supermarkets.

We had lattes. The milk was burnt, it was very weak in fact they were undrinkable. They have a fabulous bakery and the baked good are delicious BUT they wont serve with your coffee. What is the point of having a great bakery but not serving baked goods with them? Wont go again.

I have not been to Lakeside for a very long time, but it as always been one of my favorite breakfast places. However since my last visit yesterday, the food seems to have lowered in quality substantially. The service is great, the prices are ok, no difference they other breakfast restaurants, but the food is now sub par. I got the farmers breakfast and the bacon was dried out and way to salty as was the ham. The eggs were runny and seemed like they were cooked in the morning and then reheated later on. The sausages are squishy and salty and the potatoes were dry and hard. I was very disappointed. I will not be returning any time soon.....

The first time I visited, I had the chicken caeser wrap (I believe all their sandwiches come with chips and a pickle), it was DELICIOUS. My second visit, I had a clubhouse sandwich (with chips) and it was amazing as well. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Store is clean, and prices are reasonable. Awesome job, Lakeside. I will definitely be back.

I walked in to order a birthday cake for my dad and the lady took my order and wrote everything down on a sheet of paper. The name I wanted on the cake, the flavor, and took all my info down. I went to pick it up the next day and they didnt even have the note. No cake for my dads birthday and they didnt even try to compensate for their disorganization. They asked for my name and phone# about 5 times. Disappointed they didnt even bother on trying to fix this issue. Overall bad experience.

Horrible slow service and always bad attitudes from servers. They dont know the concept people standing in line and putting pastries in a box. They are very unorganized and do not listen to what was ordered. Horrible experience everytime i have to put an order in. Bakery is beautiful and food is ok. HORRIBLE SERVICE!

Haven t gone here for breakfast in a long time. My breakfast this morning was disgusting. The hash browns were microwaved, the eggs mush and the cost outrageous. $15 for 2 eggs, hash browns, 2 small pieces of ham and a coffee. Will not be back. Go to Gingerbread House instead!
