Refund & Cancellation Policy

At The Pancake Lounge, we prepare our products fresh and, in many cases, specifically for your order. Because our products are perishable, our cancellation and refund policy is designed to protect both our customers and our bakery.

Standard Orders

24 Hours Notice

Cancel at least 24 hours before scheduled delivery or pickup to qualify for a full refund.

Custom & Special

48 Hours Notice

Custom cakes require cancellation at least 48 hours in advance before production begins.

Damaged Items

Within 4 Hours

Report damaged or incorrect items within 4 hours of delivery with photo or video evidence.

01.

Order Cancellations

For standard bakery orders, cancellation requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled delivery or pickup time to qualify for a full refund.

Orders cancelled less than 24 hours before the scheduled delivery or pickup may not be eligible for a refund, as preparation and ingredient costs may already have been incurred.

02.

Custom Cakes & Special Orders

Custom cakes, personalized products, large orders and products requiring special ingredients or decorations are prepared specifically for each customer.

Cancellation of these orders must be requested at least 48 hours before the scheduled delivery or pickup time. Once preparation or customization has started, the order may no longer be eligible for cancellation or a full refund.

03.

Wrong, Missing or Incorrect Items

If you receive an incorrect item, a missing item, or an item that does not match your confirmed order, please contact us as soon as possible.

Depending on the circumstances, we may provide a replacement, store credit, or refund for the affected item.

04.

Damaged Products

If your order arrives damaged or there is a significant problem with the product, please contact us within 4 hours of delivery and provide clear photographs or videos of the product and packaging.

After reviewing the issue, we may offer a replacement, store credit, or refund where the issue is determined to be our responsibility.

05.

Products That Have Been Consumed

For food safety and quality-control reasons, we may not be able to process a refund for a product that has been substantially consumed or disposed of.

Please keep the product and packaging until your complaint has been reviewed, as we may require photographs or other information to assess the issue.

06.

No Refunds for Change of Mind or Personal Preference

We do not provide refunds where the product was correctly prepared according to the customer's order and the customer:

  • Changes their mind after the order has been prepared;
  • Does not like the flavor they selected;
  • Does not like the design or decoration that was approved;
  • Ordered the wrong size or quantity;
  • Ordered the wrong product; or
  • Decides that they no longer require the order.
07.

Delivery Issues Caused by the Customer

We cannot provide a refund where an order cannot be successfully delivered because of:

  • An incorrect or incomplete delivery address;
  • An incorrect or unreachable recipient phone number;
  • No one being available to receive the order;
  • The customer refusing to accept the order; or
  • Other circumstances caused by incorrect information provided by the customer.

Where possible, we may offer redelivery at an additional delivery charge.

08.

Refund Processing

Once a refund has been approved, the refund will be processed using the applicable payment method.

The time required for the refund to appear in the customer's account may depend on the payment provider, bank, or payment gateway.

09.

How to Request a Refund or Report a Problem

To report a problem with an order, please contact our support team and provide:

  • Your order number;
  • Your name and contact number;
  • A description of the issue; and
  • Photos or videos where applicable.

We will review the matter and respond as soon as reasonably possible.

10.

Policy Changes

We reserve the right to update this Refund & Cancellation Policy from time to time. The policy applicable at the time your order was placed will apply to that order.
