Lakeside Bakery - Leamington, Ontario

3 of us dined in and had sandwiches. They were the worst sandwiches I've 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. Read more

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). Read more

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… Read more

Will not go again. New to the area and tried for the first time today. Lattes were not hot and soy milk was curdled. Coffee was also tasteless. Sandwich was mediocre. Soup was good. Baked goods looked good but did not get any. A very disappointing experience overall.

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 . Read more
