carlo's bakery

ok... let me start by saying tht i do not hate carlo's, but i will say that my trips there have been underwhelming at best... the pastries are good, but nothing special... quite frankly, the cakes, pastries and other confections are, at best, pedestrian... and, since the prices are so inflated due to the popularity of the tv show, you can go to any little italianbakeryand receive a better product at a better price... que sera sera

never ending love for cupcakes 💖
carlosbakeryhas the best cupcakes.
love the variety of flavors they have. ❤️ and of course, the cupcakes was not too sweet, but perfect ❤️

carlo’sbakeryhome of the cake boss - mr. buddy valastro. the place is always full. you have to fall in line and it will take you lil’ time to grab what you want because of the long line, but it’s worth the wait guys! the white chocolate mouse is heaven👌😍😘. prices are affordable.
i have visit carlo’sbakery8th avenue time square not in hoboken. i just can’t find the exact place here in zomato.🤭

the canoli and lobster tails were delicious, and of course going to the originalbakerywas amazing too! however, me and my family tried the pumpkin pie. the pastry was pale and undercooked, the mixture wasn't sweet at all and resembled the texture of a face mask. i don't think the pie turned out how it should have.

not sure what all the hype is about... very standard tasting pastries! just because buddy has a show on tv does not mean that hisbakeryis the best in hoboken, let alone jersey. tried a variety of pastries and they all tasted comparable to a grocery store'sbakerysection. i don't recommend!

terrible experience!. my husband bought me a cake from carlo'sbakeryto celebrate my 50th birthday. he ordered the cake in advance via telephone with a cake consultant. i had once had a chocolate cupcake with fudge frosting from carlo'sbakerywhich i loved.. my husband ordered chocolate cake with cannoli filling and the chocolate fudge frosting. he also asked for lots of roses to be put on the cake. the cake was 1/2 a sheet cake and he was quoted a price of $110. my husband said the consultant had difficulty taking the order and was talking about his upcoming vacation. fast forward to my birthday. my husband drove 2 hours to pick up the cake. the cake had vanilla buttercream frosting and 4 roses! he complained and they did add a few more roses, but the frosting was wrong. he had to call the ordering department and all anyone says is i have to talk to my boss. today he was told they had to talk to angelo about the cake. fyi a 1/2 sheet cake pricing begins at $85, so obviously we were ripped off. my party was yesterday and he had no choice other than to take the cake that was marked as being our order. my husband drove 2 hours home. the cake was the worst tasting cake i ever had. in fact, only 1 guest liked the cake. i had been so looking forward to my 50th birthday cake from buddy. it was a huge disappointment. i think perhaps buddy needs to take more care of his own bakery. it is a joke that he has a show where he travels around the country fixing other people's bakeries. buddy, you need to stay at home and pay attention to the quality of your own bakery. we will never again go to carlo'sbakeryand i caution others' who plan to order a celebration cake from the bakery. it's definitely not worth the hype. the cakes i've had from grocery stores, even walmart, are better than this!

please openbakeryin manalapan nj. had lobster tails on the breakaway same time buddy and family were on the ship tails were great cant find the same taste down here no one makes them like buddy

sweet treats. my daughter and i visited a few days ago. the lobster tails and tiramisu, were to die for. i felt like i was biting into a piece of heaven. it was very packed inside thebakerythough, i really couldn't look around at everything they had because we were packed in like sardines. i would still go back.

pretty good, but mostly a tourist thing.. i wanted to go there mostly bc me and my son like the show a lot. around 1 pm the line was insane! when we came back at 3:30pm we were able to get in right away. it was a fun experience. we waited about 30 mins to be served, so not too bad. honestly the cupcakes and cookies looked so-so. i went for the hazelnut cream puff, lobster tail and the famous crumb cake i had been dying to try. i've had better lobster tail at the whole foodsbakerycounter, and the crumb cake was good but not great. but wow, the hazelnut cream puff was really good, and only $2. i bet their cream puff cake would be amazing. (ordering online now.) the prices were pretty good. if you're in hoboken and you like watching cake boss, and the line isn't ridiculously long make sure to stop by, otherwise maybe skip it.

below avg . bakery. stop n shopbakeryis ten times better. buddy's sister walks around thebakerylikes she on the red carpet.dont waste your time because i did!

went on a weekday in the late afternoon/early evening and were third or fourth in line...a surprise given how many reviews suggest very long wait-times. we purchased a brownie, 1/2 lb. of cookies, some cutout cookies, and a cupcake...totaling just over $20...consistent with what we expected in the area. thebakeryitems were nothing spectacular...it's mostly about visiting a place you've seen on tv. if you hope to be blown away by the best sweets you've ever had, you might be disappointed. the staff seemed fairly efficient. we were surprised by the clerk giving our 19-month old daughter a free cookie out of the display case...nice gesture, and something we certainly didn't expect out of a touristy spot in north jersey.

who does not know the cake boss, buddy valastro? his show on tv is very popular and there is always a very long line in front of hisbakeryin hoboken, new jersey. but know that if you live in hoboken, you can skip the line: just show an id that proves you are living there. my first experience with carlo'sbakerywas so so: couple of years ago, i bought a cannoli and did not like it. i thought at that time that it might have been because i did not eat it right away and put it in the refrigerator for few hours. then, one of my colleagues brought a tiramisu and a chocolate cake at work: i loved the tiramisu but the chocolate cake was way too sweet. so we decided to try again. the cake boss is known for his insane cakes that he is building on his show. for sure they look spectacular, but i am not sure they taste that good considering the amount of fondant and rice crispy treat he puts in it.  when we were there, it was packed! the problem is that we could not go around and look at the cak

carlos is bad. people listen! this is horrible! it is a scam! the food is awful! on the show it looks amazing and it is a lie! the cake is bad and tastes like factory made crap and the other food was subpar at best! i was so disappointed and was so angry! heart broken really! i was expecting so much and got this.....my friend mormms was so mad because he is the biggest fan and hated it!
if you want to call your self a goodbakeryyou should consider not making it taste like cake mixture from a supermarket......

dont go! it will be a 2 hour long wait to get in to the packedbakerythat doesn't even have thebakerysmell! it tastes bad too!

bad

never saw so many whiners in one place. some people go out of their way to verbally trash a place because they had to stand in line for "hours" and didn't have a good experience. grow up! i went to carlosbakeryon june 29, 2012 and waited in line just like everyone else and if you are expecting to experience something unrealistic just because the carlosbakeryis on tv, then don't bother. we ordered lobster tails, cannolis, and red velvet cupcakes....all were delicious. frankly, i came down to carlosbakeryfor my kids who love the show and love buddy. would i go again? yes. i enjoyed the experience.

i don't get it. just your everyday, semi mass producedbakeryfare. the only exception being the most hideous looking cakes available anywhere. why thisbakerygets a foodnetwork show is beyond me. there is an abundance talented, gifted artists in the ny metropolitan area that create truly magnificent confections.

why so much applause for mediocrity?
