When I moved to Ringwood nearly 2 years ago. I bumped into the owner of the bakery at a local store. He over heard me advise that I was new to the area and advised that his Bakery was award winning and they always go the extra mile and to pop in anytime. Even told me I could get a free pizza and pop in when ever I liked. I work extremely hard and long hours so still have not had a chance to get a pizza especially with lock down, but have used the bakery a few times. No problems. Though today.. I finally had a day off and decided to pop in and get myself a sausage roll. I have never been spoken

Rude and very unfriendly staff. Food is no where near as good as it used to be.
Avoid. Much better baker's in the area.

Thank you for the reply. Probably the lady was just having a bad day. Your cakes and bread are lovely. I have upgraded my experience because I have calmed down a bit. Thanks for your reply.

The staff should be given training on how to differentiate between a Cherry Danish and other varieties
