The service is terrible, they false advertise on their website. I ordered a cheesecake when I picked it up it was not was I was expecting, the girl said we have been making them like that for a year now. Got home tried hard hard chocolate that crushed the cake when I cut it. Was told to come down and get a refund. When I got to the store they refused to refund my money. I will never order from here. They will not inform you of changes over the phone if you do order make sure you are getting what you requested. Very disappointed in the customer service the owners refused to help and laughed when I wanted my money back. read more

Fantastic! Had the double decker grilled cheese. First time in my life if seeing such a concept and i was blown away very tasty. Bread options available and cheese and toppings great. French fries were the crispiest i have every had. Oh and the cake is out if this world had chocolate German cake portion huge but taste even bigger. Definitely recommend too all! Will b going back for sure read more

pretty decent place in the osborne area.. i think the only things worth getting is the dessert and coffee.. we had the chili cheese fries and they were so so.. when i saw that other patrons had burgers and whatever else, it didn't really seem that appealing read more

Loved the caramel pecan cheesecake, love the carrot cake, the oreo cheesecake is kinda dry in a disappointing way.

I honestly don't understand how this place is still in business. I used to go years ago because there isn't a lot of desert restaurant options but my cake or pie was usually dry. The cardinal sin in baked goods. I've had to go back for friends. I was never blown away and almost always dissapointed. Perhaps I've been spoiled by my mom's baking. Also the manager or owner or whoever she is seems completely nuts. Don't just walk up to a table and ask how their food is, mid conversation, in your pj's, and not identify yourself. The staff turn over rate seems very high. I had a friend that was going to apply for a job here and came early shortly after they'd opened for the day and the manager or owner gave her shit for coming "during lunch rush." The place was empty. She did NOT go back to drop off here resume later, as she recognized that she didn't want to work at a place like that. read more

Ordered coconut cream pie. What I got was a loosely baked graham crust filled with whipped cream and topped with a sprinkling of toasted coconut. Pie it was not read more

Their cakes are great, but the service( the owner in fact) needs a lesson on how to treat a customer. Won't be coming back. Food alone doesn't make a restaurant, service counts too. And rudeness is not something I want to come back to read more

One of my favorite places for dessert in the city. Sure it's noisy but that's because it's a diner style restaurant not a high end restaurant. As to other reviewers saying that the piece of dessert they receive is too small...I say "what... ? " The pieces are huge...only a glutton would wonder that. This place is still the tops for me. read more

Love the food, especially the Chicken Fettucini Alfredo and Tia Maria dessert cake. Prices (especially on the cakes/desserts) keep me from coming back as often though. read more

This is one of the best bakeries in the Osborn area. If your looking for cakes for party or any other need to satisfy your sweet tooth this is the place to go. read more

Stale food, and a server who despite having worked there since I was a kid, still did not know what was in the food. After telling the staff of a freinds food allergies, the server shrugged and said she could not even guess what was in the food. When asked if there were any leguems, the server said there was cheese in the food.... read more

We went to baked Expectations for dinner on September 15 at 7:00pm. It was an all-around disappointing experience, especially since we usually have great food and service there. I ordered a glass of white wine, my companion ordered a latte. The latte was brought to our table with a glass of water, and our server (J) very unapologetically said they were out of white wine. He did not offer another alternative or ask if I'd like anything else. Simply placed the water in front of me and walked away. I ordered the linguine with tomatoes, garlic and basil ($11.95) and my companion ordered a chicken salad sandwich ($9.25). My linguine was the most pitiful portion , barely even half a (small!) bowl of cooked "boxed" pasta, garnished with an unripe tomato and basil that was chopped FAR too long before being placed on my dish (it was brown). There were perhaps 3-4 shreds of parmesan on top. The accompanying garlic toast was an equally small portion, approximately half a slice of a baguette (I understand restaurant mark-ups on food, but seriously, my meal would have cost them less than $2. It was ridiculous how small the serving was. I thought I had ordered off a children's menu). By comparison, my companion received a THICK sandwich with a massive portion of fries. The waiter returned to our table once, and when he asked how our food was, I looked him right in the eye, shrugged and said, "Meh, it's okay, I guess." If I were a server, that would be my cue to ask the patron how I could make it better! Can I get you something else? Would you like to speak to the manager? Nope, nothing out of J. Yes, I could have complained more vocally, and in retrospect I am sorry I didn't. But my displeasure could not have been more obvious. It will be a long time before I return to BE, if ever. Other restaurants/cafes have desserts (and service!) that are equally as good, if not better. read more

This is the stuff of legend. WE RECOMMEND THE RED VELVET CAKE. My personal favourite is the strawberry cheesecake. You're a Winnipegger if you have eaten here. read more

I was at Baked Expectations last Sunday, and had the most delicious brunch! The brunch came with scones and muffins that were incredible! Who knew that this awesome dessert place served such fab food! We had the tortilla pie and Sunday scrambled eggs they were awesome, fresh orange juice and a delicious smore hot chocolate to top it all off. Our server Julie was sweet and told us exactly what to order. Love this place! Planning to go back next Sunday. read more

The customer service is very poor, we waited in line for a very long time to get cake. We were barked at by the hostess to go to the glass counter. We then paid $20.00 for 2 pieces of cake that were very thin. Definitely not worth $20.00. Also, I ordered banana cake, and did not know it as peanut butter banana cake until I got home, none of the 3 servers we dealt with including when we were paying told us. Very disappointing. Not worth the expense. We will visit different bakeries from here on in. read more

If I could put minus stars I would. I normally come in the evening for a desert/snack and it has always been a great experience until this past Monday. My friend and I thought that we would come by for a late lunch. Thank goodness my drink came in a can and not in the glass they brought me. The glass was filthy, lipstick and greasy finger prints all over it. I showed the waitress who seemed to be the manger on hand and she was visible upset that I had complained asking for a clean glass, she snapped up my glass and said with attitude that the dish washer has a hard time cleaning these type of stains, no apology. We both ordered the chili with garlic toast. It was the worst chili I have ever had! It was more like a thick tomato soup, no flavor, at best I would describe it as a really poor can of chili. The "garlic bread" was this massive piece of greasy mess, there was no garlic to be found on it. I complained again and was yelled at that I must not eat chili often because this was great chili. It was a huge waste of $13.00, my suggestion save your money and go to Tim Hortons for their chili and you won't have to worry about the extremely poor service and attitudes. It says a lot when Tim Hortons chili is better than a restaurants. read more
