Tulipan Bakery Inc - e Air

Great food and coffee, prices are fantastic and the staff is great

I have gone to Tulipan on Belvedere for 5 years for a total of 10 times. So twice a year. The place has never had much of an atmosphere. Just order at the counter and go. I went early this last Saturday, 3/23. Wasn't busy. The place was filthy. As if the floors hadn't been swept or mopped in weeks. The glass to the pastries was smudged with dirt, handprints, and just gunk. The women working there were not friendly to anyone. I ordered 5 pastries and a sandwich. The manager used a small box. Stacked my pastries on top of each other. Thus, smashing them. The pastries were ruined for presentation. I had to buy something (somewhere else) else for my event. I tasted the pastries at home. They were awful. I believe the bakery is adding a preservative to their pastries to lengthen shelf life. There was a strong and HORRID aftertaste. I got a second opinion. They agreed. I ended up throwing the pastries away. I will not be back. Such a shame.
