I am writing to report a very disappointing experience my family and I recently had at the 25612…read moreCrown Valley Parkway Ladera Ranch, CA location. The evening before my brother's fiancée's birthday, my parents and I visited the store to order a cake for the celebration. We were assisted by an employee named Aiden. From the beginning, he showed little to no customer service--there was no greeting, friendliness, or engagement during the interaction. Despite this, we continued with the order and specifically requested a fresh cake to be picked up the following day at 3:00 PM. The next day, when my mother and brother went to pick up the cake, my mother noticed that the display cake that had been in the case the previous evening was no longer there. She asked Aiden if the cake he gave them was the display cake. Instead of responding, he simply stared at her and did not answer the question. My brother also noticed the lack of basic customer service and found the interaction very strange and unprofessional. Later that day, we brought the cake home and served it during the celebration. As soon as we cut into it, everyone noticed the cake was very different and tasted horrible. It tasted stale and dry. The strawberries were very mushy and smelled spoiled. None of us finished our cake slices and still have a large portion remaining. The following day, I called the store to explain the situation. A female employee answered the phone and told me she was busy with customers but would call me back shortly to sort out the issue. About 30 minutes later, I received a call back, and it was Aiden again. I explained everything that happened, but once again he showed no concern, empathy, or professionalism. When I asked about my mother's question regarding whether the cake was the display cake, he claimed he "didn't hear" her question. He did not apologize for the experience and simply offered a free slice of cake as compensation. My family and I have purchased cakes from this location several times before and have always enjoyed both the quality of the cakes and the customer service. In fact, my family has owned restaurants and businesses ourselves, so we understand very well how important customer service and quality are in the hospitality industry. This is not the way customers should be treated, which is why this experience was so disappointing to us. This is the first time we have ever had to complain. We were very surprised that a cake we specifically requested to be fresh tasted bad and have been displayed for days. Aiden also mentioned that cakes and pastries can remain out for up to two days, which was concerning given the quality we experienced. We truly loved this location and had always enjoyed coming here in the past. Unfortunately, what could have been a small issue turned into a very negative experience due to the lack of professionalism, communication, and customer care from the manager on duty. Because of this experience, my family and I will no longer be returning to this location in the future. I hope this issue can be addressed so other customers do not experience the same situation.

The birthday cake they made for me was absolutely stunning -- the design was flawless, detailed, and beautifully executed. It looked like a true piece of art. But even more impressive was the taste. The cake was incredibly fresh, perfectly moist, and so flavorful without being overly sweet. Every single guest kept asking where it was from! Bahar Bakery truly exceeded all my expectations. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and flavor are unmatched. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a custom cake that is both breathtakingly beautiful and unbelievably delicious. Thank you for making my celebration so special!

The employee wrote happy birthday on it for me and also asked what color I wanted it to be written in and if I wanted to include a name. The cake was delicious and everyone loved it!

Well, I came back and they handed me this cake. The writing was awful! I said, how can I give this to my mom when it looks like this and paid $48 for it. I asked for a refund but they were unable to reach the owner. I told them I will not take this cake, to please have the manager or owner call me the next day so that I can get a refund. Its near end of day the next day and still no phone call from their manager/owner. Staff was understanding when I came to pick up cake and very disappointed with it. She tried to offer other stuff but I told her that the only thing I need is someone to fix the cake or give me a refund. That driving to this location is actually not very close to me. Its a 20 mile drive and 30 mile drive to where I need to bring the cake. I rather get my $48 refund. I just wished the owner of this location or at least someone called me back to resolve this.

The food is consistently delicious, and the pastries are absolutely amazing--always fresh and hard to resist. What really sets this place apart, though, is the service.
