More Food Adventures: Red Apple

Shop at More Food Adventures

I have always liked the food at Red Apple. But I have not been to their shop. My aunt always buys food from them, and she takes home food from Red Apple that we all surely would enjoy. From cakes, pastries and even savory meals. So even if I have not gone there, I have loved Red Apple goodies for years.

Anyway, my sister and I visited their shop last February 3, 2012 as we were looking for a cake to give our cousin for her birthday on February 4, 2012. We went and inquired, but we were NOT treated nicely by the staff who attended to us. I so hate how she moved her eyebrows every time she answered, plus the smirk and the sarcasm. So ended up NOT wanting to buy the cake that they have on display... I sure do not want to make business with ill mannered sales staff..

But in the spirit of food loving, plus the fact that we were hungry already, my sister and I bought the Cassava Pie and the Sacher Torte for dine in along with the very pricey soft drink that costs only less that ten pesos anywhere else.

I sure like their food, but eating there, dine-in, was quite an unhappy experience for me. It's okay for food to be pricey if people get good food plus good ambiance. But the place actually resembles a food court only. Nothing fancy, but plain old tables and chairs with less decor and dull wall painting.

So yeah, we will still eat Red Apple foods. They are after all, very good in taste. But to dine there may not be a vision in the future. I especially do not like how their staff would crowd around each other and not act nicely upon their customers. I wish they will learn a thing or two from Baker's Joy and of course, from Margie's..

Not writing this post to destroy Red Apple. I love their food. But maybe if they will take this constructively and invest on better staffing--- give their staff proper training on how to deal with customers, better ambiance, and better pricing to fit their market, then I am sure they will be a hit too. Just my two cents..
