Good Market, but beware the bakery!
Posted on 08 / 12 / 2009Wildberries Marketplace is excellent.
But, vegans must avoid the Ramone's Bakery within the store. Bad labels. No ingredient lists. No vegan desserts; and an ignorant employee gave me a false answer when I explicitly asked (no eggs, no dairy; lactose-intolerant), even though there wasn't any line of customers & she could have looked it up.
When I passed thru ultra vegan-friendly Arcata, I was surprised by the lack of vegan desserts. When I saw the Ramone's counter, I thought other places didn't try because they simply couldn't compete. When I went to Ramone's in Eureka, I found out the truth. The Eureka staff got defensive, rather than apologetic, perhaps fearing getting sued over any reactions from my lactose-intolerance.
Pros: good selectionCons: bakery bad to vegans
