"RE: Unacceptable Business behavior in our Community, Ambrosia Euro Café (710 Northwest Highway) Incident: 1 month time planning to order my son’s (6 years) old birthday with staff who refused to connect me with a new Owner. Perhaps, given the experience of Saturday, June 17, 2023, it is worth revisiting Ambrosia Euro Café’s business commitment and customer service to our community. Consequences: I was given a frozen cake on Saturday, June 17, 2023, at exactly 10 AM. To my surprise when it was time to cut the cake at 12 pm (as I had looped Ambrosia Euro Café throughout the 1 month of planning my Son’s birthday), I learned it was a frozen cake and not fresh as was communicated to me. It was hard to cut the cake and in no shape or form was going to be eatable and enjoyed by my son, his friends, and our guests. Note the cost of the cake was $209, and despite all the unfortunate circumstances, the right business action to take would have been to reconsider other options for Ambrosia Euro Cafe not to ruin a children’s party (6 years old) and let me walk out with a frozen birthday cake. The ethical action for the business to take would have been to provide an eatable cake to serve the children and my guests, instead of handing me a full tab to pay my bill. In retrospect, I am blown away by the audacity of the new Ownership to charge a full price with full awareness of delivering a frozen birthday cake. Note a frozen and unfresh cake was not part of the agreement we had with the business for the past 1 month."
