Lindsey's Bakery

I called to have them make a cake for my daughter She is in volleyball so I asked them to maybe draw a net and volleyball on the cake. The lady on the phone was rude and said we don't do anything with volleyball. It's not a popular sport and we don't do it. WOW way to please your customers and I thought this was a bakery you can't draw a ball and a net?? Anyone know of a good bakery?

Here is a thought....head down to the local Walmart and buy a box of cake mix and some fodue sheets from the craft dept....and do it URSELF.

Cassie Paskins on Facebook is awesome. She has the most beautiful cakes. Look at her albums and message her.

I have been to lindseys twice since i have lived her. RUDE the 1st time I went in & then RUDE the Last time I will be in there. POOR Attitudes. So much hy over this place and I dont honestly know why? The place appears Nasty. Flies ws buzzing around inside the case against the wall the last time I went in. The overall apprearance of this place is just not appealing and just not very clean. In that aspect I compare them to The Hot Spot. Im not saying they are dirty because the women act like bitches either.

For as much publicity as Lindsey's Bakery gets (mainly due to the Pumpkin Show), most people assume this place is good. Don't get me wrong, I love supporting local businesses in any community, but they still have to be good.

Their prices are absolutely outrageous. They don't really provide anything unique. Like others have stated here, they are rude. When people say "oh my, you are going to Pumpkin Show? You have to get some pumpkin donuts from Lindseys" I cringe, because honestly they are no different than Pumpkin donuts from Kroger, except of course the price tag.

In fact, I'd say the best bakery in town, at least as far as one that actually has a store, is Kroger. Carnival has one, but it always smells weird in that area. Maybe other people do work out of their home, but I don't know names. There used to be a Custom Cakes out on Stoutsville Pike, but I don't have a clue if that's around still.

Sorry to sound so down on Lindsey's, but I'm just stating what I and many others I've talked to have experienced. The bakery really just seems to get by and stay open based off of history and that one big week a year in sales.

Couldnt agree more. My wife liked the $1.69 pumpkin doughnuts at krogers better than lindseys $10 a dozen doughnuts. Way over priced and the store is filthy.

If you ever park in the back, say to go get tags for your vehicle, the bakers have chairs outside where they take a break... That's all fine and good, except that they SMOKE their ciggy's while weaeing their aprons. This is unsanitary. The place is filthy inside. The flies buzz the cases where they have the baked goods. Never go there.

I think that's nasty. If you go on break or walk out back for anything like going to the BMV to use the bathroom they shouldn't wear there aprons. They should only wear there aprons inside when they're working. I don't care much for there stuff either does my kids. So we don't go there much.

lol! its funny how everyone gets on here and runs their mouth but put no name. its nothing but a bunch of ppl bitching behind closed doors.... hey heres a thought ppl put ur own name in or somewhere u like to go and see what stupidness was said. yall need to grow some balls and grow up:)

Lyndseys Bakery is a dump. The people are rude and the business is totally over rated. Now with Republican Vice Presidental hopeful Paul Ryan visiting, that seals the deal for me. I won't be going back. Business should stay out of politics if they are smart. You can easily offend potential customers who belong to the opposite party.

Flies buzzing around the donut cases and people taking smoke breaks while wearing there aprons - these are honest facts, not opinions. I have never had anyone act rude towards me there, but it wouldn't be too difficult to ascertain whether or not someone was acting rude.

Oh, and by the way, my real name is ..........

Well I know Katie that owns it and she's a very sweet person and I bet if all of this is true I'm sure if you call there ask to speak with her and make a complaint she would take care of it. And I will let her know tomorrow myself what complaints are beening made and I'm sure she may take care of it if its all true.

Go ahead and let her know. Hopefully she doesn't dismiss these as just random complaints. I don't know about the rest of the people on here, but I wouldn't just trash a business for no reason.

Simple thumbprint cookies, while good, should not nearly be as expensive as they are there. A small town local business should be friendlier. Wittich's, for example, seems to have a much friendlier staff in my opinion. They also provide a lot more quality as well. Lindsey's only seems to really try once a year. Go do a blind taste test right now with Kroger and Lindsey's pumpkin donuts on the corner of Court and Main if you want to hear what people think.

On a related note, I always tell anyone that the best Pumpkin donuts in my opinion are those hot mini ones at the smaller stand. The lines get longer and longer each year, so word is definitely spreading. They are much easier to eat while walking too.

well I'm sure a lot of ppl has their opinions on what they like. Me even withbeening blind folded I still think she has the best pumpkin doughnuts they are a lot fresher then Krogers and btw not just sticking up for her but I have been into krogers and seen flys around their doughnuts in their case too and even said something to the bakery and they offered some money off on my doughnuts but I wouldn't buy them still yuck. And her cakes are fresher too but if I don't buy anything off from Katie I go to wally world cause they are a lot better then krogers and carnival when it comes to a bakery. And I do have to agree that lil booth at the pumpkinshow does beat them all when it comes to doughnuts. And check it out most of our restaurants here in town are going up in prices and giving less.

I say if they ahve gone down hill like that then contact the owner katie she would never allow for conditions like that.

Lindsey's is very gross. I have witnessed people in the back, taking a break w/ the aprons and smoking. They won't even SPEAK when you say hello. I will never enter that rude establishment again. And I am a proprieter of an establishment uptown. My customer's have never had a comlplaint.( Not an eatery). And if I ever did hear of any, I would immediatley correct them and reprimand the employee.

I knoe the people who works in the back at nite and I can say at least one them do not smoke. Katie's boys has been nothing but friendly to me no matter what time I go in to get my donuts. Lindsey donuts is the only ones I'll eat. And as far as what politician comes into town I really don't care. It don't change my opinion of where I would go for my donuts. As for pumpkin donuts don't like pumpkin. Obama for president

I have heard that Lindseys is dirty but have not witnessed it myself. I support locale businesses and was just surprised at the rudeness and the unwillingness to help. She didn't even offer an alternative idea. It was like she did not care about me as a customer and when a business starts doing that it's all downhill from there.

Vangundy- usually my daughter makes our cakes but since it was her bday I wanted to get her something special. I myself can bake but am not creative to be able to decorate it that is why I went to a bakery.

I have been in the back when the bakers are there here twos boys and two other employees are there and have not seen anyone go out to smoke. I do know Peggy Burt and Zack don't smoke. Besides if Lindsey was as dirty as people say they are wouldn't the health department shut them down
