We got some cookies there once. They were fine but I've had better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668866 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:59:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 1668866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friends in NJ have told us that if you place an order for pickup (like a cake) you can skip the line... otherwise it's a crazy wait for mediocre pastries that aren't any better than the ones in the supermarket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668804 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:38:31 +0000 keiki_mama 1668804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I've been tempted on multiple occasions to order something and have it shipped! <a href="http://bakeshop.carlosbakery.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bakeshop.carlosbakery.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668698 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:04:32 +0000 Anagram 1668698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with Elbiekay...I went once when my 13 year old neice was in town who wanted to go. We went on a Sunday morning on a drizzly day and there was no line.</p> <p>I was totally unimpressed by their bakery stuff. It's supermarket quality...Hoboken has much better bakeries, like Choc o Pain, which is right down the street.</p> <p>Haven't ordered a custom cake from them though---I hope those are good, considering that crazy line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668252 Fri, 30 May 2014 09:11:05 +0000 Alivoo01 1668252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but when Carlos Bakery started to air and Ace of Cakes started to fade out, I was a lil sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668222 Fri, 30 May 2014 09:05:35 +0000 ElbieKay 1668222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Hoboken and can skip the ridiculous line by flashing my driver's license with a Hoboken address.</p> <p>I have never had their cake but their cookies are just standard bakery cookies.</p> <p>I think it's hilarious that anyone would wait in a line that long just to go into a bakery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668189 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:57:29 +0000 chopsuey 1668189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: ooh you can order ahead and pick up!<br /> they just added some items that can be delivered too. haha. maybe when I reach my goal weight I'll order some stuff to reward myself :P </p> <p><a href="http://holiday.carlosbakery.com/pickup/" rel="nofollow">http://holiday.carlosbakery.com/pickup/</a></p> <p><a href="http://bakeshop.carlosbakery.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bakeshop.carlosbakery.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668179 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:55:38 +0000 Arden 1668179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do have mail delivery, I think.</p> <p>I haven't had any, but I'd like to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668176 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:55:20 +0000 HLK208 1668176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - a friend lives down the street from the bakery in Hoboken. I've only had biscotti though, I didn't try the cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668173 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:54:34 +0000 MamaMoose 1668173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are fine... but not worth the wait. The line for one in Hoboken always wraps around the block. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668161 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:52:55 +0000 regberadaisy 1668161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: haha I would get there before they open! </p> <p>Do they have a mail delivery service!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668154 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:51:53 +0000 chopsuey 1668154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Omg on the show Buddy talks about how people wait in line for HOURS. I can't imagine waiting in line for cake. Haha. Dying to see how their stuff tastes though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668146 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:51:26 +0000 looch 1668146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: they were, but they were old school, I don't know how to describe them...like the crushed almonds up the sides and the whipped cream frosting.</p> <p>I can't imagine that they're remotely the same now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668140 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:50:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1668140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece is a big fan. If we're in NYC for her birthday this year I was thinking of taking her and seeing how much a small cake is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668121 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:48:12 +0000 chopsuey 1668121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: aww were the cakes you ordered back then super good? :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668114 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:47:28 +0000 looch 1668114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, we used to order cakes from the original shop in Hoboken before it was on TV. Since they've gone big, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-sweets-from-carlos-bakery#post-1668099 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:45:44 +0000 chopsuey 1668099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love watching Cake Boss and came super close to buying some yummies while I was in Vegas. </p> <p>There was a crazy wait though so we decided to pass! </p>
