Carlo's bakery Wow. Incredible place. Busy. Parking is crazy. Good luck finding parking. It's cheap (25cents for 15min) but only if you can find it. Parking is near impossible without parking in deck. Pedestrians really walk anywhere and some don't even look in this area so be careful. Nice workers. Clean. Really not busy. Cake Boss is an American reality television series that originally aired on the cable television network TLC. The series premiered on April 19, 2009. The show officially ended on December 12, 2020 Highly recommended read more

I didn't go for the Ambience or the Service, although that was a little off too. Doesn't feel welcoming as far as the people , just A lot of buy me ,buy me decorations and oh my gosh, you want me to help you...Typical hoboken attitude.. So the cake,, um. Entirely to thick of Icing/fudge layers and 2 thin layers of cake. Basically was like eating Icing out of the tub, like when you were a kid.. But we wanted a chocolate cake.. so the cake was definitely frozen and thawed,, I know the taste. Seriously the fudge was equal to Pillsbury fudge Icing. And so over priced for all of that Icing. Couldn't even enjoy a slice of cake for my daughter's birthday, we ate a spoon full of Icing, everyone had that look on there face like , um where did this come from so I never..

The original one that his dad opened... eat your heart out Hell's Kitchen location. And while old heads may have their own views. Honestly there's something nostalgic about visiting the location of my first ever cannoli. The service was quick. I was able to get some chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and two different cannoli flavors. While their normal is hands down anything better than store bought quality the birthday cake flavor honestly knocked my socks off! I believe the cannoli specialty flavors change on a normal basis. Maybe in the future Carlos will make me an epic wedding cake like the show... at least it will be a good excuse to try all his cake flavors. Don't retire yet Guy! I'm coming. read more

Got a cannoli and a coffee. My family got some other pastries and drinks. Cannoli was delicious Service was good, their recommendations were good. We were the only people inside there was another family outside in the patio. Place was nice in a nice neighborhood. We from LA wanted to check it out read more

Solid baked goods and an excellent staff. Wide variety of items to choose from...though as expected, stock dwindles as the day goes on. May not be as much to choose from later in the day. Prices are on par, if not slightly higher, with the current market...though I understand given the location and fame of the bakery. read more

We came here for the nostalgia of the TLC show we used to watch, but let me tell you, the pastries and desserts here are quite literally terrible. We arrived at 8:30am shortly after they opened and the case was full. We ordered a classic cannoli and glazed donut. The cannolis were pre filled, I'm assuming from the night before, so it was soggy and the marscapone filling was actually sour. Any true Italian bakery will normally fill the cannolis once you order them so that the shell stays crispy. The glazed donut was way too sweet, dense, and a bit dry and stale. Which leads me to believe it was old? It was really cool to experience being inside the restaurant and taking cool pictures, but I really wasn't expecting the desserts we tried to be so bad. read more

Worth the travel! Delicious pasties! Check them out. Definitely have all things you could be looking for when it comes to the bakery!

Always wanted to walk in to see it for myself. All the pastries and desserts looked amazing. The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain the items I was interested in purchasing. I ended up buying a 5-pack of cannolis and three crewnecks. It's definitely a must-visit spot when you're in Hoboken! read more

What a disappointment. The cake slices are packaged in advance and taste so stale and bland. The confetti cake had no flavor and the icing tasted like a canned frosting. The black and white cookie has a weird soft icing on top, not the traditional cookie and arrived melted and again packaged and sealed like you bought it at a 7/11. The black and white slice was not a black and white slice (?) but some other chocolate slice equally bad. read more

Thought the bakery could be overrated and I heard it's too sweet. That wasn't the case. I was pleasantly surprised by this bakery. Went on Saturday afternoon. No line and wasn't crowded. The pastries all look good and they weren't too sweet. I ordered the classic lobster tail and cannoli. The lobster tail was amazing!! The pastry was flaky and not sweet. The pastry cream was a bit runny but tasted amazing! And it was filled to the brim. I would definitely get it again. The cannoli was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I've never really been a cannoli fan. This was probably one of the better cannolis I've had though. Service was really nice. Would definitely get the lobster tail if in the area. read more

The strawberry cheese cake is very airy, soft and fluffy. One of my best I've ever tried.

I understand the nosralgia; however, for someone that did not watch Cake Boss, I would never go back here. Whatever made this bakery popular has clearly been lost. The only this place got 2 stars instead of 1 is because the cannoli was good paired with coffee. Apparently, one of the sisters came in and couldn't be bothered with interacting with a tourist that was clearly visiting because of the show. read more

Food (4/5): We got the cannoli and tres leches. Both were quite good although the cannoli could have been a bit more flavorful. Overall still solid though!

The food is displayed well and the pick up nature is nice. read more

Definitely a tourist trap. The pastries are not bad but they're overpriced and barely any options to pick from.

Everything was delicious and the staff was super nice!! Will definitely be back for some more sweets!!

horrible customer service Very unprofessional not getting back to email complaints I've ordered lobster tails several times from their online shipping and they were great The most recent order for some reason the lobster tails were a third of the size And send pictures and tried contacting them several times and they refuse to get back to me. We no longer be using their bakery in the future Due to pour customer service and quality control read more

Carlos Bakery was honestly a let down. The whole shop is basically a fast paced cash machine. They move you through really quick and you do feel rushed. There was almost no one in the store. I asked for a cannoli - this was not good. Too thick and flavor was only peanut butter. I was excited to try the cake as it is what they're known for. It came prepackaged and was not fresh tasting at all. Big let down. I wouldn't recommend this at all sadly :( read more

Ordered a classic 6" Carlo's Bakery Chocolate Fudge Cake for a loved one's birthday. Oh my god I was so disappointed. I don't normally complain and always keep my reviews honest, but I really can't recommend this. First of all, I chose expedited shipping and paid extra for this. It still arrived late and contacting customer service all I got was that it was in transit. Thanks. I should've just gone with getting another chocolate fudge cake locally and just dashed my dreams of trying Cake Boss cakes. When it arrived, it was packaged well in dry ice. The instructions are very clear with how to defrost the cake and serve it. Let me tell ya it really was a block of ice. Left it at room temperature for 3 hours just like it said. Sliced into it and it was still sorta frozen so we took a first bite just to see. It was so dry and the frosting was disgustingly sweet, huge mass produced and store bought vibes. God, I was dissatisfied. Then I was like why don't I try warming it up and see if that's better. It was a tiny better, but the cake layers are just dry and lacking a rich chocolate flavor. But also the frosting got semi-slimy so I ended up scraping it off to be able to actually taste the cake again. Such a let down. I have no other words. Almost all of it ended up in the trash. No one liked it and it was so embarrassing. Please don't buy a cake from here. Grew up watching Cake Boss and I'm sorry boss, but this wasn't it. read more

My heart is broken. This was on my bucket list to taste their crumble cake and black and white cookies. But no crumble cake. Settled for an assortment of cookies, lacked flavor, got pre packaged black and whites and 2 different cake slices. All terrible. Dry, tasted like it had been made DAYS ago. I GOT FOOD POISONING. As a huge OG fan, this was what made the saying, "never meet your hero's" true. read more

For those of us who have lived in town 10+ years we just don't go here? At least I never do unless I'm with someone visiting or looking to bring a cookie platter somewhere. That said, I stopped by for a sweet treat on Friday evening afternoon dinner and stumbled upon their incredible Tres leches "milk and cookies" cake. SO good and perfect to share (although I didn't really want too lol) would absolutely recommend!! Maybe the locals should start to stop back in... seems they have alot of other items and I even saw breakfast sandwiches? Didn't even know they had those! read more

I just wanted to say like eight years ago I went to Carlos's bakery cause I watch Carlos's baking show on TV and I have to say I had such a great experience and I was hoping to meet buddy but didn't get that chance or Mario or one of the sisters, but I just have to say what a awesome awesome Bakry plenty of varieties and plenty of good foods And great atmosphere. Great food great service and great ambience. In my opinion, it should be 100 stars out of 100. If you've never been, you should go again or you should go cause it's a great experience. read more

I came here roughly 5 years ago. My wife wanted to go here while we were on vacation in New York. So we made a special trip grabbed an Uber and away we went to Carlo's Bakery. From what I can remember the service was the same as it was 5 years ago, polite but in a hurry. The ambiance is quite inviting, it was clean the AC was on keeping the sweets and patrons comfortable in the 90 degree summer heat with a sprinkle of some extra humidity. The food was what I expected, I didn't notice anything different from what I tried 5 years ago to what we got this time besides the price going up like all other places. Overall, if you are in the area there's no reason to not stop by and have a cannoli. read more

Long time customer but no longer. It is really unfortunate when you can't get a hold of anybody at a corporate headquarters. When you look at their website and online, you cannot find a way to contact the main office. The social media person is great at posting, but does not respond to messages. To me, it shows they really don't care about customer satisfaction. read more

This place is overrated no doubt, however that does not mean it isn't good! I got the lobster tail, chocolate dipped cannoli, regular cannoli and this slice of cake thing. The lobster tail was phenomenal, I definitely regret only ordering one. I liked the chocolate dipped cannoli more than the regular cannoli, it was my first time trying a cannoli and thought the regular cannoli was overwhelmingly rich. The girl that helped us was pretty nice and helpful and the overall ambiance was good, I'd definitely come back for another lobster tail read more

Huge premium to pay for a stop at Carlo's bakery in Hoboken. Not a bad cannoli., but Way over priced. Product was fresh and tasty, with a good variety of products . Carlo's earns an extra star because the servers behind the counter the night I stoped in were polite, courteous, and efficient. Check out with your debit card expect to fork over another 18% gratuity to the counter help. read more

Disappointed for the second and last time. Years ago I purchased a custom order cake for my sister's baby shower. Spent hundreds of dollars on the cake and it was just meh. All sugar. Nothing special. I decided to give them another try for a custom cake for my niece's birthday. Spent $169. This time it was disgusting. Absolutely inedible. Ordered chocolate cake with chocolate fudge. The filling flavor tasted nothing like chocolate fudge. The texture was also just off. Had a chemical like, unnatural taste. Was terrible. Could not eat it. Never again, not wasting my time and money here. I should have gotten the shoprite cake as originally planned......always good cakes. read more

This place is a cardboard cutout of what you'd see if you tune in to the Food Channel. It's plastic; somewhat fake and frankly shows just how much these people value their customers, because so much is pre-packaged. If you order a slice of cake, it will come in PLASTIC PACKAGING with Buddy's smug mug on the wrapper! The cake was moist and actually tasted pretty good, but it could have just as easily come out of a vending machine. If you're coming here to experience an authentic Italian bakery, keep on moving! It'll break your heart. No anise toast or any variety of biscotti. No almond cookies. And if you're looking for struffoli, cuccidati, or amaretti cookies, forget about it! I honestly felt bad for these people; like someone hijacked their heritage or something. Buddy's mother and father are probably spinning in their graves with embarrassment. Don't go here. Let this place die a speedy, albeit not so dignified death. You deserve better. True Italians deserve better. And honestly, Buddy is probably already (I hope) embarrassed by what he's done to his family's legacy. read more

Nice sunny day in Hoboken, the place was kinda busy but not overly packed I was attended to right away and ordered some pastries for my aunt for her birthday as she wanted to have these as she watches the show. Service was great for me, the pastries are pricey but kind of expected. My aunt enjoyed the pastries , I tried the Carmel latte eggclair which was pretty good and not too sweet which was nice at the moment. My aunt enjoyed and that all that mattered. read more
