Carlo's Bakery

I ordered the single slice of chocolate fudge cake. SO DISAPPOINTING!! Frosting was too sweet and almost no chocolate flavor, just a sugary flavor and there was actually a crunchy texture because of the granulated sugar. The cake: looked moist, but tasted awful. Oily tasting (and I think rancid oil at that! ), Stale refrigerated taste. I have rarely thrown away a dessert, but this was truly a wasted $7. Can't find one good thing to say about this dessert. But I will say the young lady working the counter by herself was super friendly and fast! She deserves 5 stars.

Went on a Friday night around 8pm. Line wasn't too bad. Tried the cheesecake, vanilla cupcake, red velvet cupcake, and M&M with chocolate chip cookie (there wasn't much left in terms of choices). Cheesecake was dry, not that flavorful and overall not impressed for the $7+ cost. Red velvet cupcake was dry but did have good flavor. The vanilla cupcake was dry and had ZERO flavor. The icing didn't taste like anything. The only "good" thing there was the M&M cookie. But for $3 not worth the price or wait in my mind. Checked the box. Not going to be a return customer, that is for sure I'm sorry to say.

Read the reviews. ALL of them. Cakes are NOT fresh. They are refrigerated and dry. They taste stale and have too much frosting that ruins the taste on top of the staleness and dry taste. I paid $7 for one cake that was horrible. I threw the rest away. I wish I could get a refund. Rating this place 1 Star is being generous. It doesn’t deserve that. I wish I wouldn’t have wasted my money. The display cakes will make you want to order but remember those are just display. Cheddars has great cake. Go there instead.

I bought various flavors of cupcakes, almond cookies and several cakes three times since they opened. The tiramisu cake tastes of cream and nothing else (no espresso taste). The mousse cake was great the first time, serving two. Three weeks later the cakes are half the size, barely serving one.The cookies and cupcakes are good, but very overpriced. Everything is fresh and the staff is okay. I think I'll stick with La Madeleine.

I only tried the regular cannoli because I was curious what the fuss was about and it was the only item in the Dallas location that received decent reviews. Apparently, people in the Northeast wait hours for this item. I must say it was pretty sorry. Nothing impressive at all and it cost me $4! So sad as I love the show. But I guess they are just famous for making awesome LOOKING cakes but not for making tasty treats. I still love Buddy as a person.

My husband and I were craving a late night treat. We arrived at 8pm, an hour before close. There weren’t very many options available, which I completely understand with it being late and it being Labor Day. I struggled to order because everything available looked good. I picked out a slice of salted caramel cake. The cake was way too dense and the cream and caramel filling was too sweet. The frosting didn’t taste like much; almost waxy. I’m assuming the cake is dense to accommodate the thick lays of caramel and cream. This piece of cake was a three layer cake. The cake by itself was a nice angel style cake. Unfortunately there was no contrast in any of it. The whole thing was sweet and dense. I would have liked either light fluffy filings/and saltier filings or a light fluffy cake to go with the filings. Also the frosting really was just awful. No words to describe it other then it tasted like a sweet crayon. If that even makes any sense at all. Sorry Carlo’s! Maybe I’ll go back to try the cannoli. Can’t go wrong with that right?

Unfortunately their products at this location do not live up to their reputation. Every time I have bought something from here, the cakes are tasteless and the products just seem dry. It’s a huge shame, because I don’t think this location will survive here in the mall if they do not improve and raise standards. The cakes tasted out of this world in their New York locations. A huge difference in quality!

I stop by whenever I have the chance just to get a Pecan Wedge and sometimes I get the Oreo Lobster Tail. There’s nothing better than eating a crunchy pastry stuffed with Oreo Cream 😍 I stopped by last weekend and they now have specialty coffees like lattes and it’s so cheap!! All the employees are very helpful and know their desserts! Oh yeah that employee Izzie is kinda cute too 😏
