Mom likes the dark chocolate moose cake and lobster tails I liked the cream in the lobster tail but the shell was soooo hard it hurts to bite read more

We went to Carlo's in NYC last night. Even though the holiday season leads to busier store hours, the staff were still pleasant and efficient. I've been trying to avoid food dye, so I decided to skip the rainbow cake I normally get. The strawberry short cake was phenomenal! The strawberries were actually fresh instead of the jelly strawberries that a lot of supermarkets use. And the icing was so light and fluffy, just like a strawberry shortcake should have. The cake was also really good. Definitely my new favorite! read more

Dark chocolate mousse was a crowd favorite, would get a large cake made of this if available next time. Lobster tails were good but a bit on the hard side. The cream inside was delicious and not overly sweet which helped redeem the hard crunch of the shells read more

This was a cute shop but very over priced. The staff is friendly and the shop is clean. My husband and I bought 3 desserts that all averaged around $5 each. There are too many good bakeries around to pay $2 extra on a dessert. Final thought if I was in the shopping center and wanted a treat to go with my Starbucks, I would go back but wouldn't make a special trip. read more

Wow what happen to the bakery? The last time I was here couple of years ago they had fresh cakes and nice size claws. I was I. The area and decide to stop by and the cake slices are in sealed factory Plastic containers. The claw are now half the size. I can't see this location staying in business. What happen to making cakes and custom baking goods on site???? read more

This place is garbage. Nothing is fresh. Way overpriced because of the "hype" he should have stayed in Hoboken. It's way too commercialized now. Got an eclair and it was stale and not even filled up. A black and white cookie that came in commercialized packaging like it wasn't even made fresh on premises. Terrible. read more

Carrot cake was very dry. Paid a ton for it and it really sucked. Seemed like it was sitting a long time . Dry dry dry .

The place is always very clean and the staff are always very friendly. I have been going here for a couple years and my family always gets the lobster tails! They are always very crispy on the outside with a wonderful, soft, delicious cream on the inside that is not too sweet. They are always so yummy and a great trip. However, I do feel like they have gotten smaller over time. They still taste just as good but I definitely do think they have gotten smaller. I would still come back though as the lobster tails are a very nice treat every once in a while. read more

Doh! Got Carlo's mixed up with GALLO's! Where my BFF got her parent's decadent & delicious anniversary cake a few years ago. I had a cupcake just for a "tasta-tasta" - it was definitely better LOOKING than TASTING! A bit over-priced too. Don't judge a book by it's beautiful cover! read more

So My Grandson's Mom wanted a Confetti or Cannoli Cake for her Birthday. Not too many places have a good cannoli cake and if they do they're in Philly so I looked up a few bakeries and saw this bakery had confetti cake and cannoli's so it was a 2 for 1 for me. I placed the order online and scheduled the pick up. The 6inch cake and box of 5 cannolis totaled $58, not too bad. When I went to pick up my order, I was impressed with it, it was a cute shop! The display cases were beautifully arranged and I liked how everything was staged Covid19 Guidelines were followed with Directions, Distancing and Masks Customer Service was attentive, quick, informative and friendly I ended up adding to my order. Since the cake and desserts were going home with the birthday girl, I wanted to taste something! I ordered the chocolate slice and also the color striped one (cant remember the name now) I think they were $9 a slice The chocolate cake slice was delicious! Very dense but moist and definitely a great chocolate flavor to it The multi colored striped cake was also dense but moist too. The buttercream was prominent due to so many layers and the frosting in between all the layers but it was still good. I would suggest only eating sections at a time, these cake slices are big!! My Grandson's Mom and Family also loved their Confetti Cake and said it was good so that's 4 items that everyone liked. I would definitely come again! read more

I have to agree with the other reviewers that have written that Carlo's Bake Shop is over hyped. When the place first opened, it was very crowded as people were curious. We went on an afternoon during lunch hours and the line was quite short and also the location had been open for a few weeks at that time. Carlo's for me is 2.5 stars. It is a nice store and clean and bright. The displays are attractive but they are cashing in on their TV fame. We had two cupcakes, Carrot Cake and Red Velvet. They were A-OK, but not great or memorable. On the plus side, they were not overly sweet which I like. On the whole they were just average, almost pretty good. Sweet Box in Philadelphia is so much better and also McMillan's Bakery has a better cup cake and is just a better bakery all around in the area. Sweet Eats Bakery in Vorhees has much better tasting cakes in my opinion. Again, as others have written, if you want to go because of the Cake Boss it is probably worth a trip. If you are just looking for a good bakery, Carlo's is nothing special. read more

I stopped in the other day to buy some black and white cookies. I work at cooper doing deliveries so I always buy goodies to bring to the workers while I'm dropping off gloves and stuff at the different locations and they weren't very good. I thought they were cookies but they were more stale pieces of cake with glops of icing and they were mad money. Next time I'm going back to the donut place. read more

Eh, 2.5 stars. I honestly was just craving some Tiramisu and thought maybe these guys would have some. Negative. My quick run over before a family dinner early Saturday afternoon, the store was empty, but there was a good variety of desserts to choose from. The place smelled heavenly of baked goods :) My second choice was strawberry shortcake. I unfortunately wanted like a true 'strawberry shortcake' with biscuits. The one I picked out was more like a vanilla cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Not bad. The strawberries weren't the freshest. Since I was there I thought might as well get a few things. Besides the single serving portion of the strawberry shortcake, I picked up the chocolate mousse cup and also a tiny cheesecake with a strawberry on it. The chocolate mousse was not my cup of tea. Barely tasted any chocolate flavor and the strawberries made it worse. The cheesecake, flavor was fine, but it was overly thick.The sticky tablespoon worth of strawberry syrup on top was not necessary. For these 3 little items, around $24 bucks. I was like, whhhat.. There are plenty of other bakeries around that I would like to try before coming back here to possibly try out other items. read more

we were in the area and decided to stop in out of curiosity and i'm happy we did. it's cute inside, the baked goods they had available were displayed nicely and all looked very good. there's a small seating area with tables, the tables were clean as well as the bathrooms and the staff members we interacted with were helpful. i got both the regular and peanut butter cannoli, which were really good. if i find myself back here i'll probably try something else but only because their other items looked great too. only one criticism, the crushed peanuts on the side of the peanut butter cannoli tasted stale. my fiancée got a slice of strawberry shortcake which she thoroughly enjoyed. i would definitely go again and recommend others to come as well. read more

Got a surprise gift from my AZ co-worker. The stuffed shell was overdone and the filling was very watery, the cannoli wasn't any better. Better places in Philly to get a proper cannoli. Also this separate slice of pie cake with crumb topping was super poor. Rather donate money to pro-life. read more

Ordered a Piecaken for Thanksgiving/my birthday. It was beautiful but sickeningly sweet. The buttercream was supposed to be cinnamon but just tasted like really sweet buttercream. Thick gross layers of it. The cake was dry and tasteless. The pecan pie again, way too sweet and the pumpkin pie was bland. Overall, not good and no one finished their dessert. We threw out the leftovers and opted for plain apple pie from ShopeRite and ice cream. I had chocolate cake from this locations before and it wasn't great. Wanted to give it another chance but wished I didn't. read more

I stopped by Carlo's Bakery to grab a pie to bring to my boyfriend's cousins house. I was in a serious time crunch so I was happy to find out they allow you to pre-order items over the phone and online. I called the morning of and was told they had a variety of pies to choose from. The employee told me I had to pay over the phone in order to keep the item on hold. I ended up not doing that but when I called back later, another employee allowed me to put it on hold and said I could pay when I arrived to pick it up. I'm glad I was able to do that -- call me crazy but I'd like to see what I'm purchasing before I actually pay for it. The store is conveniently located in a shopping center where there is ample parking. The store itself isn't too big but they do offer some seating. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I'd have to agree with other Yelpers in that there really didn't seem to be THAT much to choose from. The cakes looked similar to what you'd find at a ShopRite. They also had other bakery staples including pastries and cookies. I also noticed plenty of branded merchandise (tshirts, aprons, mugs, etc) for purchase. I ended up grabbing the apple crumb pie. I was told it serves 6-8 people. While it was thankfully enough for my group, it definitely seemed to be on the smaller side. Also, it did not appear the same as how it was pictured on the website. It did not have the sliced apple garnish on top. The pie came out to be around $16. And while it didn't break the bank, it also seemed expensive for the quantity. Everyone seemed to enjoy the pie.... but I'll admit, there was nothing that really set it above others that I've tried. Long story short, I would come back to Carlo's but I also wouldn't necessarily feel compelled to visit again. Although there was nothing about my experience that was "bad" per se, there was really anything super impressive about it either. read more

Stopped in for a cannoli- plain and simple, no chocolate chips or pistachios or orange zest. Freshly filled and hit the spot. Prices are high but it was what I was craving and worth the calories and cost. Crisp shell lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Smooth and sweet cream but not too sweet. A decadent treat. read more

Wow! What happened to this place? Stopped in looking for a sweet dessert after dinner since they're open late. It's actually been awhile since I've visited- mostly because of the many good local bakeries in the area (Gallos, McMilians, L&M, etc) that I prefer. On this visit, I was really surprised by the now very limited selection (not even their famous lobster tails). They've even eliminated many of the glass cases (maybe two remain), so I don't think this was an "end of the day" experience. Ended up walking out empty handed. read more

I felt hesitant reading the reviews, but I was super impressed. I normally don't like cream fillings but after reading dozens of reviews promoting the lobster tail, I had to try it. It's not the normal cream filling and is seriously delicious surrounded by a perfect light, flaky crust. My niece ordered the strawberry cheesecake which was also delicious. I do have to say, I wasn't a fan of the cupcake. Like others have mentioned in previous reviews, I found the cupcake pretty dry and less than delicious. This did change my review from 5 to 4 stars but overall I still loved the place, and they still baked up some pretty tasty treats... but I do understand where someone would be disappointed that someone with a show called "Cake Boss", doesn't have a stellar cupcake. read more

Used to love this place, the staff has always been friendly but the store never have the tres leches cake anymore (which is my favorite item of theirs). I thought I'd try a brownie (awful). My last visit I got the strawberry shortcake which was 3x more whipped icing than there was actual cake and the strawberries were not fresh at all. Their cookies, however, are good and big for the price. The inconsistency in items is disappointing. read more

Their Lobster Tails might be the greatest dessert of all time. They are pricey but worth it. Bring a friend and get a four pack.

The best part is they are completely healthy for you... Umm, no. Oh well, nothing's perfect. read more

The food was really good except the cupcakes frosting was disgusting it tasted like a refrigerator smells. And the service was very fast and, the person who was helping us was nice.

I wasn't a believer until today! I never imagined in 1000 years that the pastry and cakes would be so good from Carlos. I have watched Carlos on tv for years and I often find myself passing this location while in Nj for business or family events. But today when I got off work I decided that today was the day I try the so called best. And to my delight it was very good! I got cupcakes (peanut butter cup), pecan thing with chocolate, and a mouse cake. I've can only speak for the cupcake right now and it was soft, decadent, and not to sugary which is all my top criteria for a banging cupcake! I'll let you know when I eat the rest, it my take a while! read more

I'm always a little suspicious when I see such poor reviews on a place that's relatively brand new & has ties to a famous individual. I wonder how many people are being hyper critical just to be critical. I live in Marlton, this location is off Main Street in my town. I have visited on three different occasions and have sampled the coffee as well as a variety of desserts. I have never had a pastry, cake or cupcake that wasn't fresh and absolutely delicious. Their tiramisu was fresh, silky, generous and decodent. Their individual cheese cakes were gloriously creamy & flavorful. The lobster tail pastry - omg don't even get me started on that - it's heavenly! The party itself was so flakey, fresh, crispy while the cream was mindblowingly deliciius. If you're going to break your diet for something, the lobster tail is it. Over the weekend, the line is typically long. It moves pretty quickly provided the people in front of you can figure out what they want and don't change their minds 10 times. The service is friendly, the employees are patient & happy to explain what's what. For me, I give them 4 stars out of 5 and that's because I don't like Italian cookies and 1/3 of their selection is some variety of Italian cookies. The pastries I sampled deserve 5 stars. I think people are critical of Carlo's Bake Shoppe for the same reason they refuse to acknowledge a good meal at a chain restaurant. It's unfortunate, but look at it this way - check out how long the line is. Would they have so many customers if what they sold wasn't tasty? I would say no. Try their cakes, try the lobster tail - it's yummy. read more

Been wanting to visit the Hoboken location to try the goodies by the Cake Boss for a long time now. Found out he was opening in Marlton, I was so excited. The long lines always deterred me and this location is no different. Best advice is to come on a weekday. When you enter, be sure to grab a number and while you wait, you can admire all the baked goods. When my number was finally called, I placed my order with the staff who enters your order on an iPad and reconfirms with you what you order. They will then instruct you to move to the other side while they gather your goodies and box them up for you. Once they gather it, they will call your name and you approach the register to pay. They do accept credit cards, and if you use it, you will sign the iPad with your finger (fancy technology these days!) I ordered 5 goodies: red velvet cupcake, mini chocolate cannoli, "famous" crumb bun (small portion of crumb cake), mini strawberry cheesecake, and lobster tail. I didn't think the cupcake, cannoli, or crumb cake was anything special.. the cupcake and crumb cake were a bit on the dry side. The cannoli, while the shell was tasty, I didn't enjoy the filling too much. On the other hand, the lobster tail and cheesecake was amazing! The lobster tail is crunchy and filled with a sweet cream. The cream is pretty sweet, but the combo with the crunchy crust was just heaven in my mouth. The cheesecake was delicious with my favorite part being the crust is made out of CAKE instead of the usual graham cracker crust. The treats can set you back a pretty penny. The mini cheesecake itself was $7! The lobster tail is more reasonable around $4. The cupcake, cannoli, and crumb bun were all around the $4 price range. While this is okay for a once in a while treat, I don't think it is something I will crave. The cheesecake is pretty good, but for that price, I could get a better value elsewhere without the long lines and hassle. It was good to try though. Definitely recommend you try at least once! I would probably come back for the lobster tail. read more

Carlo's is a let down. There is always a long wait and it takes forever once you place your order to receive the food and pay. The staff is very unfriendly and rude to the customers. I've been there on multiple occasions so that I could give it a fair chance but my disappointment has increased with each visit. They've also forgotten desserts and when we get home we realize they left out the cupcakes or cookies twice. The food is nothing special. The only saving grace are the lobster tails which are very yummy! Take my advice and head to Gallo's or McMillan's instead. read more

Visited this shop today, picked up a variety of things: 2 cupcakes, mini white chocolate mousse cake, chocolate chip cookie, shortbread w/chocolate & pecans and a mini cream puff something. Shouldn't a cupcake be moist? The chocolate cupcake w/vanilla buttercream was old...and not day old, but horrible OLD! Note to management, please toss those cupcakes that didn't sell 2 days ago. And provide training to your counter staff on how to take an order and get the customer out in under 15 minutes if there's no line!! read more

For me, Carlos is overrated, but of course it doesn't stop me from coming in ever. Lobster tail is a must! It is their signature and most popular and it's obvious why. It is always flaky, crispy and generously filled with cream..the perfect amount of sweetness. Cannoli and pecan cookie would be my other favorites. I've had the crumb cake when fresh put on the shelf and it's wonderfully moist and delicious. Every other time it has been dry and disappointing to say the least. Same for cakes/cupcakes they are nothing special. You're always greeted upon walking through the door. Very friendly staff. Overall, this is an average bakery with a few highlight items. read more

To make this as simple as possible, it's not that Carlo's Bake Shop is bad. Their stuff is fair enough. I had their Canoli & Peanut Butter (soft) Cookie and both were what I expected. And to be very fair, I did not have their cakes, which of course is what brought them to fame on TLC. But, I do think that they're far more hyped than they should be given the quality of their stuff. What I got wasn't anything special and with a metric nut-ton of great local bakeries around the area, it's not like they are doing anything extra ordinary unless you have extremely specific cake decorating requests. If you go, I suggest you go to experience the Cake Boss fame -- not in a hunt of anything extraordinarily special. And if you do go, pay careful attention that they have a ticket number dispenser to the right of the entrance. They only serve customers based on ticket number and this policy may not be instantly obvious to you since the bake shop is often busy. read more
