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

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

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

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

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

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! Service (4/5): No issues with the service and they got the food out fast. Ambience (5/5): Nice bakery shop interior with fun decorations based on the famous baker. The food is displayed well and the pick up nature is nice. read more

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

I was disappointed with my purchase. The cream puffs were not fresh, the quality was low, and paying around $11 for just three is definitely not worth it. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

On a family road trip Carlo's bakery was on our itinerary. It was cool going there, however, we were underwhelmed. We had to get a treat because we were there and it felt and tasted day old. How can a bakery cupcake be yucky? It's a lot smaller in person too. The service was OK but they really should be more pleasant especially when you're spending your hard earned money and you are clearly a "tourist" because you're taking pics. I think they make their money on very expensive sweatshirts lol. Oh well. Glad I went but was anti climatic but we made the best of it. 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

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

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

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 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

Terrible customer service! If I could give zero stars I would Two years ago on New Year's Eve I was married in Las Vegas. We celebrated with a cake from Carlos bakery. All was good I watched their show from the beginning and it was a dream of mine to have one of their cakes. So last year for our first anniversary we decided we were going to get another cake. A bigger better cake. An over 200 dollar cake. We live near cape cod so the closest Carlos was in Mohegan sun casino. It was a 1 1/2 hour drive one way but we were determined to get that cake. I ordered and paid in September. Again our anniversary wasn't until new years. New Year's Eve comes and we make the drive. Only to find out the store was closed. Not just closed but it wasn't even there anymore. Nobody ever called us. We never got a refund. How could a company like this do this to me?!?! A first anniversary party with no cake. I called many numbers. No answers no return calls. Finally through email I get a response and after a few days of me sending my receipt and such I finally got a refund. It was a fight to get it. They told me they were sorry and if I gave them my address they'd ship me some treats to try to make up for a ruined party. No treats ever came. I emailed and emailed some more only to be ghosted Well guess what? Almost one year later, I get an email. The email was to remind me that it was my anniversary and I should order a cake. WTF the nerve! So last Friday I email them back again. No response This year for our anniversary we are going to NYC I always wanted to go to their store in Hoboken. I coulda had my second anniversary cake from them. I'm so sad, so heartbroken. How does a company do this? How can they treat people like this? read more

So I was craving some red velvet cake but I didn't want a whole cake so I bought the single slice from Walmart. First it smelled weird when I opened it but I still tried it. I have to say it tastes nothing like the red velvet I'm used to. It was not even close. I remember watching cake boss growing up and he played a part in why I became a baker. I no longer do it because of an accident I had but I was really disappointed in this cake. Maybe it's because it's mass produced and sold in Walmart but it was not good at all and I cant get over the smell. It was like it was on its way to spoiling. read more

Definitely over rated! You are paying for the name. This is an average bakery. I bought two cannolis for $12. It was empty inside and I waited 5 minutes to be helped. The worker just stared at me.

During my trip to NYC I obviously had to stop by Carlos Bakery! Tbh I remember the store being larger from the TV show but it was still cool to see them make the fresh pastries in the back room.

The local is also in a really cute neighbourhood but parking around here is super challenging and it has alot of one way roads. read more
