Review of Lola's - Lola's Canary Wharf


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Birthday cake was hard, dry and tasteless!

I appreciate the Free birthday cake offer every year but this time had a really bad experience. I visited Canary Wharf Canada Square and asked for a Cookies and Cream cake. Normally I get other flavours but this time those weren't available! There were 4 staffs all chatting between themselves and no one bothered to provide instructions about the cake. I took that home as usual and later while serving, found it really dry, hard, tasteless and very sugary! The evening plan went wrong as none of my friends could have the cake so I wasn't really happy about it. I've contacted Lola's customer service next day and explained everything; the agent Wesley told me that I had to keep the cake outside the fridge for 3 hours before serving so it wasn't their fault. I was really shocked as normally I've never done that with the other cakes I had from them. Also asked him that the staffs could even provide me this instruction but they all were busy chatting. He then just reported, apologized and avoided to offer me a replacement just because it was a Free cake and I didn't pay for it! The overall experience wasn't really that great what the company should really focus on!

Hello Tilok,

Thank you for taking your time to share your feedback with us.

We are very sorry again that you did not enjoy the cake you received from us as a free reward for our Love Club founding members.

We do advise directly on our cake boxes themselves as well as on our website that our cakes will require at least 2-3 hours outside of the fridge before serving for best quality.

This ensures that this information is made clear for all of our customers to ensure that best practices for storage of our cakes can be followed.

We are very sorry that these instructions were missed and that you did not enjoy the cake texture served straight from fridge cold temperatures.

As per our conversation, I have been sure to log your feedback regarding your experience with our stores team and with this cake.

If you would like to discuss this any further with our team directly, please do not hesitate to get back in touch with us at hello@lolascupcakes.com.

Kind regards,

Wesley
