My career as a Life Enrichment Coordinator takes me to many places. The retirement community I work at has their own choir and two weeks ago they performed at a benefit concert in a church. This event was planned by the seniors, however, I decided to tag along to make sure there were no issues with the bus we booked. The church is just up the street from work and once the seniors were settled I decided to grab some dinner. I walked across the street to World Class Bakers. I drove past this cafe on many occasions, always wondering what it's like. Well, I was about to find out. I was surprised to see how big this cafe actually is. What I noticed right away, and what I really liked, is that there are a few different sections for seating. I always like that because I have a choice of where to sit as opposed to being forced to sit in one general area. This cafe has a TON of desserts. Cakes, cupcakes, pies, cookies. They also have lots of lunch/dinner items such as fish, pasta, sandwiches, etc... I ordered the lasagna, which was around $9.00 and I was very unpleasantly surprised to find out that this cafe only accepts cash. No debit. No credit card. Just cold, hard cash. Of course, I didn't have enough with me so I had to withdraw cash from the bank machine inside the cafe. And, I had to pay the $1.50 service charge for not taking money out of my own bank. I sat in the back at a table for two and ate my dinner. The lasagna was delicious with just the right amount of cheese and tomato sauce on top. It was a satisfying meal and the portion was pretty good too. I asked one staff member if they do custom orders for dessert and she said that they do and I can pick up the information at the front. When I asked the girl at the cash she said that they don't have a brochure and offered me a phone number instead. I got the impression that it belonged to the owner. I declined. The food was good but the girl at the cash wasn't the friendliest person I've ever met. Overall, not a great first impression. I am not itching to go back. I also don't like the fact that this cafe doesn't have a website. The only information I could find online was via a blog.
