The Italian Bakery

I've been wanting to visit for a while, since they took over Hayman's in Swanage. Overall I wasn't that impressed (although I want to go back and try the famous Pizza). Store felt dark, products not that well displayed. But most importantly I can only describe the service as surly. Having chatted for ages to the previous person, I got a what do you want (when they came back to the counter) and no thank you. The food was OK, but didn't make me go "YES YES YES" And finally, because I often do, something that makes me smile. This is not about the place I'm reviewing! I got a new job at a bakery. I took the job because I kneaded the dough. How I Mark I may mark differently to some other reviewers, some might see this as harsh, others may see it as fair. But here's how I look at it: 5 star - WOW. I want to go back and look forward to doing so. They delivered everything expected and more. The 'more; is normally about the service or attitude of the staff. 4 star - GOOD. They delivered everything I wanted and a bit more. I recommend them and would go back. 3 star - OK. They delivered what I expected, I would go back if I needed to, although don't currently plan on doing so. 2 star - Not very good. I didn't get what I expected and the service wasn't good. I don't recommend this place. I might get dragged back here, although will always try to avoid it 1 star - This was rubbish. Don't go there, I certainly won't go there again. I didn't get what I wanted, the people were unhelpful and I didn't enjoy it in any way.

There isn't a single item in this bakery that isn't delicious, it's hard not to buy the whole shop. Would recommend everything!!!
