Carlo's Bake Shop

Excellent spot to visit amazing pastries cheesecake is out of this world lobster tail pastry tastes great come on a weekday line is big service slow needs to b expedited faster. Overall 2 thumbs up!

Very small bakery and it gets crowded . The cappuccino was great and so was moms favorite and the pecan snowballs. Traveled from Los Angeles!! Worth the trip!!

Bought a Chocolate fudge b’day cake . Though it is costliar than other bakeries , its worth of money as taste is unique. Also they give gifts (printed carlos logo) if ur order crosses some certain amt

GET THERE EARLY! Also they have classes that you can sign up for and decorate a cake ! I did it for my Son's birthday and he LOVED it. The Carlos Staff is super nice and wonderful.

As seen on the food network this bakery specializes in cakes . I loved the crumb cake and the mini red velvet cake . We also tried assorted cookies and Nutella linzer tart .

Village Voice is proud to welcome Carlo's Bake Shop to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. There's a good reason this bakery has been in business for over a decade.

Coming back to this place, it's still nice amazing since my last visit. Try their lobster tales and cannolies

Absolutely stellar bakery that makes stunning cakes . Not much seating, so best to get your dessert to go, unless you get lucky enough to get a seat.

Went when it was calm , and it was so clean and big! Cannoli was just as promised, large and delicious. Can't wait to try other pastries .

Love their cakes for a small group. A little pricey but worth it. Good selection. Great cannolis and biscotti . Lobster tails are the best here!

Place was very nice (especially) the new renovation that opened the kitchen so customers can see it. I ordered my food a few days before so there was no wait.

They make the craftiest face cakes , PERIOD. I had two done for my partner's 40th & 50th birthdays &!one for my mother's 80th. They looked great and tasted better. Heavy workouts @ the gym r required.

Tried the lobster tail , red velvet cupcake , famous coffee cake -- all disappointing. Had the pignoli cookies and they were great. Overall, overhyped. Go only if there is not a massive line .

Be patient and you'll taste wonderful treats here! Red Velvet and Peanut Butter 's cupcakes are delicious!

About 2 hrs wait. Security guys quite friendly , courteous. Line continues on the next block. We are told lines are always busy, but shorter at the other 2 locations (one in NYC)

Cannoli ! Pleasantly surprised with Carlo's! Not sure if it would live up to the hype from the TV series but it did. Very glad we came!

You must have a cannoli or lobster tail they have the best I've had in the US! Look out for their new NYC Times Sq bakery in January

All hype, Rocco's Pastry Shop and Espresso Cafe has more variety, high quality and a better wait staff . 1 stop on the path away on Bleecker in the West Village .

A must visit in Hoboken, get the mini berry cheesecake for two

LOBSTER TAIL ! Can't get enough of it. There's rarely a line here unless it's summer, then good luck! It seems there are tour buses coming in just for this place. I'll probably still wait.

Cute shop and admirable family business , but it's a bakery not a flu shot clinic . I stood in line f/ 40mins to get inside and waited another 30mins to order. Worth stopping by, not worth waiting 1hr+.

No line , try getting here between 9 - 10 am. Twas our first visit, we absolutely loved it and we're def goin back even with the 1 hour commute all the way from Queens, NY!!

I loved the place. Is pretty crowed during all day, but take your number and be patience to choose, because the food is great

Great visit if you're a fan of the show, though expect long lines and no cast members

My biggest dream would be to learn from you to make perfect cakes and sweets. But already my dream would be realized if Buddy did a cake from Harry Potter to me.

Was early to beat queue which got quite long 5 minutes later... Awesome experience! Also tried the Cake Boss Cafe in New York!

Great service at the original location. Yummy cannolis , sesame cookies and crumb cake

The cakes and pastries are some of the best in NJ. The only crazy thing is the lines and their new higher prices

Bring a cooler to keep your desserts cool until you get home along with some large zipe loc bags. You can transfer everything into those to keep them dry and to fit better.

The pastry of cream puffs were crispy on the outside and amazingly soft on the inside. Custard cream was meh. Cannolies had a somewhat of a cinnamon taste to it but were also nothing special.

Cannoli are amazing?

I had to visit Carlo's at least once. We bought 2 cannolis , which were eh...and also a small fruit tart which was blah....my own fruit tarts taste better. At least it's off my to do list!

Forget the cannolis and get a cream puff ! They were so good. Lobster tails , cannolis , and crumb cake were pretty decent.

Some of the products were a bit too heavy on sugar and butter, but overall a great experience.

Be prepared to wait, WORTH IT! Lobster Tails are everything! Jelly-filled round sugar cookies are amazing!

If you hold a Hoboken license, you can bypass the line . If you're not local, get here first thing in the morning, and you usually don't have to wait. Otherwise... it may be upwards of 2 hours or so.

Home of the "Cake Boss" from TV . stand in line for hours, or (rumor has it) show your driver's license with a Hoboken address to skip the line . Read more

Best cannolli and lobster tails ever!

The lines get very long here. Show Hoboken residency and you'll get to the head of the line .

Got there at 645am on a rainy sunday morning, waited just about half hour, once inside waited 45 mins to order, lobster tails AMAZING! Go early :)

Look for the cupcakes with the flowers on top.

Absolutely delicious cannolis and lobster tails - which are flakey, creme-filled croissants shaped like a lobster tail and topped with a smidgen of powdered sugar .

Cheese cake & Lobster tail . Crunch and smoothness on point!

No wait at all. Just went in and picked out what we wanted. Very friendly staff

Line is lonnnggg! But worth it :) cannoli , snowball and biscotti !

Everything we bought was very tasty, but the prices are high.

The most delicious things: chocolate hazelnut cream puffs .....uhmmmmm

great lobster tails . We got there at 9 on a Friday, walked right in. Lucky!

If you're a Hoboken resident , make sure you sure your ID to get to the front of the line .
