You used to bake in my neighbourhood of Corktown. I hear you do great stuff in your own shop, but I am beyond tired of the mediocre over-sugared stuff you send out to caf\u00e9s across town.\u00a0<br><br>Occasionally you put out a savoury item that is better than meh like your recent spinach and feta swirl. But when you do, you always drop it a few weeks later and we&#8217;re back to the same old sugary crap. Your scones are often dry and not particularly flavourful. Your carrot cake is a sugar nightmare &#8212; I can&#8217;t even eat two bites. I look in the case at almost any cafe across town and I see your stuff all covered with sugar. Though I will give you credit for backing off the powdered sugar on your almond croissants, they used to be impossible to even look at without getting sugar all over you.\u00a0<br><br>It often seems that you take a normal recipe and then up the sugar by 25-50%. I guess someone might like this stuff, but I haven&#8217;t met many. I think the fact that it&#8217;s the only thing on offer when you&#8217;re hungry goes a long way to moving it. Right now I&#8217;m eating a blueberry muffin that I think is too sweet because I needed something and the sun dried tomato thing you were supposed to deliver never came.\u00a0<br><br>It seems that you&#8217;re the only folks who mostly reliably deliver across the city. I&#8217;ll give you that, but for the love of god could you ease off the sugar and make some decent savoury items that don&#8217;t disappear after a few weeks?<br><br>I find myself wishing you had a serious competitor, not because I want you to suffer or go away, but to make you up your game.\u00a0<br><br>Keith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really want to like you.
