F.Volchek Bakery, St. Petersburg
A Bummer of a Visit to My Go-To Cafe on Suzdal Highway
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've been a fan of this bakery chain for ages, but my recent visit to their Suzdal Highway cafe was a total letdown. The staff seemed clueless, the wait times were outrageous, and the whole experience felt disorganized. I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong, but one thing's for sure - I won't be back anytime soon. The prices are reasonable, but that's about where the positives end.
