Cora Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yes we got that the other day too.....cake looked gorgeous until we got home and opened the box to see our portion..thought it was just a one-off stingy...won't bother buying that again...

Inkmaiden Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ooh, yes, that happened to me too- a very disappointing surprise upon getting home and opening the box. My piece was also cut unevenly so it was missing a bit off the top as well. I thought I was just unlucky. I was too tired to go all the way back and complain so I just won't be buying cake from there again.I still miss Homemade.

KidKruger Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Wow, each cake must be selling for like ?60-70. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54945-cafe-jade/#findComment-827374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclemonkey Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Go to Blackbird instead. You get a decent slab of very nice cake for a similar price. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54945-cafe-jade/#findComment-827421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidKruger Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 DF I could live with the price of a slice of cake from there but I'd expect it to be more than sample/taster size.

Ali56 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 You knew what it looked like and how much it cost.So why did you buy it? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54945-cafe-jade/#findComment-827482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_book_for_life Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 As the other posters described, the cake was cut and put in the box out of view and it was only when I got home that I found out the size of the slice. The cake was delicious and I'm not quibbling at the price per se. ?3 is a perfectly reasonable price to pay but I would have expected more than a sample size. In fact if the cake's value is really ?3 for a thin slice then they should charge more but give a proper slice. After all it's a treat and that's what the customer expects!

indiepanda Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have to admit after one visit to the Lordship Lane branch I swore I'd never go in there again. ?3.50 for a takeout coffee - small decaf soya cappuccino. They charge 50p extra for soya and 50p extra for decaf.Next time I got a takeout coffee I went to The Chandelier - it was at least ?1 less and I think it was a larger cup too.

Ruffler Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 My dream is find a proper French-style boulangerie where the service is swift and attentive with a good selection of fresh bread and patisserie. Wasn't impressed by the LL branch, I'm afraid. Life's too short to hang around in queues being ignored by staff.

Drxyster Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Try the "French Caf?" near the post office in the Forest Hill Road SE22, well respected. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54945-cafe-jade/#findComment-827852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I haven't been into the LL shop/cafe but I've been buying bread and pastries from the Barry Rd shop regularly since it opened and everything has been excellent, so as a boulangerie it's hitting the spot.

Azalea Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 ?3.50 for a takeaway coffee, wow, that is expensive. The coffee at La Scala is excellent, try them. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54945-cafe-jade/#findComment-828040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
