65c Ondo Greentown

4.5(400)✓ Google-verified

65c Ondo stands out for bread quality and cake variety, with a calm interior that draws repeat customers. Service is unreliable: some visits bring friendly staff and thoughtful touches like birthday vouchers, but others feature inattention, poor training, and hygiene lapses that undermine the bakery's appeal.
