  Dont order from this business ever, they are unreliable, take money and dont prepare anything, they just dont send the orders to the baker, and then blame others for not checking in advance if they have the order. I discovered two hours before my wedding that my order was not given to the baker and therefore they cant comply with the order, the owner who took the order didnt pick up the phone and avoided us. It is absolutely disgusting! When posted a review on facebook page, it was deleted by Ronald Yamid Jimenez, because we refused to remove our negative feedback and write lies, which is what the owner was asking us to do. When he finally had the time to reach out to us about HIS mistake, he blamed everyone in his store except for himself, and he took the order. The order has been placed with Ronald Yamid Jimenez personally in August of 2017. In January of 2018 I have attended the store and had paid the outstanding amount in full to the store clerk. At the time the store clerk has called Ronald Yamid Jimenez right in front of me and informed him that payment for the bread has been made in full, confirmed timelines and then told me that all is on track. A few hours before the wedding, when the bread was supposed to be picked up, it turned out that the bread is not ready, in fact it turned out that the Ronald Yamid Jimenez NEVER PROVIDED THE ORDER TO THE BAKER. (We have a traditional bread that must be served at a wedding, 2 years ago when my friend was getting married I brought that idea to the store and that was the first time they made it, it helped them get on the Russian/Ukrainian market and make money of something most bakeries in Winnipeg do not offer). However, I want to thank Tanya, for saving the situation and starting bread in a hurry. The bread did not look the way it was ordered, nor did it taste how it should have, but we needed one, so we accepted the hurried and undercooked work. Not to mention the emotional distress on my wedding day, and the fact that Ronald Yamid Jimenez simply didnt answer any of our calls. My husband had to get involved and have a chat with the store staff to solve the problem, expressing his concern for his fianc crying on her wedding day. It was an awful experience. The second problem is in the fact that Ronald Yamid Jimenez reached out to me after the wedding blaming me for not calling him to confirm the order yet again a day before the wedding, blaming his staff that took the payment in not giving the order to the baker, even though Ronald Yamid Jimenez is the one who took the order, not his clerk. He blamed everyone and everything, except for himself. The cherry at the top of the cake? Him demanding from us to remove the negative feedback since he fixed the issue. He had nothing to do with the fix that my husband worked out. Ronald Yamid Jimenez was sleeping while we were fighting to fix the issues with the unfulfilled order. When I asked for my money back for the order that was not fulfilled and said that it is disgusting that he is blaming his staff in his mistake he proceeded to delete the negative feedback thereby creating the illusion of a reliable business based on facebook rating, he also blocked the ability of every single member of my family to post a comment to his facebook page. He is not a reliable business and unless you want your wedding day ruined we recommend you avoid Lakomka Bakery and all costs. He is so concerned that the reputation would remain seemingly clean that he would go to the extent of further lying as oppose to trying to fix an issue. He creates false accounts and posts positive reviews around the internet to create an illusion of them being in demand. Also, the bread started growing mold nearly within a day of the wedding. He is using pictures of the pathetic bread he sent to us on his facebook page without our permission and despite our repeated demands to take it down. Do not order from this place, unreliable business not worth your nerves and money.

  Disappointed: Ordered from here for 1st time. I found 10% Off Voucher on website misleading …. for me it read 10% off 1st Order with Panaderia & NOT 1st order with Skip The Dishes! I was wrong! It could just be that this food it not to my taste, AND I found pastry to be very dry, filling bland …. couldn’t really taste any lemon in the Lemon Slice. Most of what I ordered was freezing cold as if they just …. CAME OUT OF THE FREEZER?! Ordered an Almond Peach Pie & received an Apple pie. I was soo looking forward to peach pie!!! I may try them for perogies later on.
