Great service and the banana Chocolate marble cake is a family favourite.

I purchased a Jeanne’s bakery cake from Sobey’s this week, so this review is only about the cake itself, not the bakery. It’s been 10 years (at least) since I last had a Jeanne’s cake and I was so excited to have it again, being in Winnipeg after a long time, and I was quite disappointed! The cake doesn’t taste buttery like it used to, or have any flavor. Well, I read the laundry list of ingredients on the sticker, and what do you know, it’s just a list of the typical junky/cheap ingredients you’d find in any processed food. GROSS. No thank you. No wonder my tummy hurt after too.

I come from a long line of Jeanne's cake lovers. 4 generations to be exact. Every birthday, every holiday, even when you just wanted cake, it was Jeannes. Over the past year or so, the flavor is just not there. The cake itself is uneven and leveled out with copious amounts of icing. I love icing, but the last couple times I ordered, the icing had an almost sour taste to it. I understand that things change and with rising costs, tarrifs and ingredient availability, it's difficult to run a business without some change, but these are not the cakes I remember. I keep buying them hoping for the cake I remember, but it hasn't happened yet. It would be a shame to lose a Winnipeg icon.

I have had a Jeannes cake for every one of my 45 birthdays. My husband bought my cake for this year, straight from the bakery. It was absolutely terrible, inedible. Was supposed to be banana, my absolute favorite, it had no banana flavor and almost tasted like chemicals and left a terrible aftertaste. This will unfortunately be the last cake I ever buy from here. Also, there was a wierd cut in the cake when I opened the box.

I love this place, it's basically like another family member for us, everyone in my family (immediate and extended) have been coming here for generations ( I mean GENERATIONS I'm pretty sure my Nana was a customer of theirs from opening or sometime after, I would go so far as to say she probably knew or was friends with Jeanne and her husband Archie, I wanna say, I can't remember). I love the cakes and everything here. I gave 2 stars cause the service seems to have gone down hill majorly. Last year for my bday I stood in the store for 30 mins waiting for someone to come from the back, myself and another customer were like 👀 this is wild anyone could just rob them, or take a few cakes and walk out. It was so not the normal. Fast forward to now, I called to try and order a cake for my son's 1st bday, hoping to get him his own baby size smash cake but the guy (he is ALWAYS sooooo rude and condescending, I had to deal with him for my daughters cake years ago and I was just astonished! He was so rude to me, I gave in and said w.e just to keep the family tradition which no one should have to do, we are the customers, without us and our families this store would not be here this long, let's be real.) said no they don't do that. It's silly! How hard is it to grab a smaller bake pan and offer what your customers need for all ages!? I'm just super amazed that they aren't growing with the times. Maybe it's time to start a new family cake tradition. Or maybe it's time for them to take customizations from returning customers. I'm 38 and I've had their cake every year for my bday (except for the years we were in BC). I'm super disappointed 😞.

The banana cake was pretty flavorless. Won't buy another

Today we celebrated my mothers birthday and we went with a Jeanne's cake (her favorite). The service was exceptional and the cake never misses. Thanks Jeanne's!!! :)

The cake is no longer the same. Short bread bottom is horrible. I do not taste short bread. To many changes to family recipe. Such a shame. I would not recommend buying this cake anymore. So sad.

Went 10 minutes before closing today to grab a cake and they had closed early. I love Jeanne’s cake and was frustrated that I made my husband rush to get there just for the doors to be locked.
Man who answered phone and took my order was very rude and talked too fast to understand him. Man apologized for rudeness and gave discount on cake. We can continue to buy our family cakes there as we have done for the past 50 years Thank you .Happy Birthday to me !!!

We have been enjoying Jeanne cakes for over 50 years. I remember a time when these cakes were delicious. They have changed over the years and now the one I just bought is terrible. Bought at Save on Foods, a bananna cake, serving six for a whopping $24.00. The icing had no flavor and had the texture of pure shortening. The short bread cookie base tasted raw. The cake was dense and dry and too salty. It was the worst bought cake I ever had. They are not even close to what they once were. You need more quality control.

I haven't tried any in store goods and they may be better, but the cake from Sobeys was dry, flavorless, and borderline inedible. Was expecting more at the $24 price point

So DISAPPOINTED.Went to pick up a Mother’s Day cake and the writing was totally smeared and blurry! Something about the piping bag broke…This could’ve been fixed with 5 minutes of effort. My mom ran a baking business and corrected things like this all the time. Best they could do is give me a whole 4$ back. Will never buy a cake here again. And all of this on Mother’s Day too. :(
