Kim's Cakes

Just noticed this building the other day, for a place selling pastries, I don't think I have ever seen such an uninviting shop front. It's just too grubby. You wonder if this is their first impression to the public, what are their hygiene standards like hidden away in their actual bakery. Someone call Fergal Quinn please.

Do you always judge books by their cover?

Why does somebody else have to do that for you, are you incapable of using a phone?
If you have a genuine complaint, then make it yourself. Otherwise the only dirt is off you.

By the way, I don't own this shop and have never entered it but it seems that filth is acceptable to some. Anyway the owners should care,

It is dirty, but have to say cakes are lovely. I said this to a friend of mine who works in the area and she wouldn't grace its door. Sad really because the woman who works in their seems really nice. the place when it opened first I did go their with the kids a lot but stopped going mainly due to grubbiness.

Kim's Kakes is on the top of John Street, opposite Gray's TV. It's Barry Doyle's place and he's bang on so he is.

I recommend the chocolate biscuit squares.

Speaking of cake-related shop fronts I have to say that Maria's Cakes on Kieran St. looks pretty well done.

Maria does some serious cakes.

So pubs only allow 'lads'?

Is every person who goes into a pub looking for alcohol?

I walked into a pub, am I now an alcoholic?

I went into a cake shop and ordered a coffee, am I now a sugar addict?

You seem to have some kind of grudge. I only stated a fact that the front of this premises is uninviting and would not be appealing to enter. I think there is a basis for the opinion. Now I'm off to sleep on my park bench.

Why would someone start a thread just to criticise someones business? I've never eaten there but I'd like to think Kim is keeping the business afloat at the moment. Shop refits cost money.
Best of luck to the place.
