Our Guestbook
“ This is an older family business that has become curbside only, check FB for menu or call ahead to place an order. Do not let this stop you from heading over ! Open Thursday to Saturday (always check) . Can only speak for donuts & pastries but I can't imagine that they'd fail at dinner ! The service was very personal and polite. The donuts are Old School ! Fresh Home Made, hot if you're early! Big variety , fair prices , honestly good ingredients that you can taste . I was in town for a dog show, picking up 2 dozen to have out for people and this place was a fan favorite for many . You want commercial, cookie cutter , uninspired donuts you can find that anywhere. If you want to impress or treat yourself, friends and family give this place a try ! ”
“ Great cinnamon rolls and donuts. The drive up service is a little weird but it works. ”
“ Carl's is really better than it looks! Apple fritters are great, Bavarian chocolate creams should be outlawed. Their pics do them no justice. Try it you'll like it or maybe it could become a bad habit! Carl's is one of those places that remind you of old fashioned goodness! ”
“ Best Danish I've ever had!! I ordered these for my daughter's wedding day, the girls ate them while getting ready. Carla made smaller version of their regular Danish so the girls didn't mess up their make up!! They were perfect. We have been going her all my life and the food is as great, you can always count on that! ”
“ Not many bakeries still around like Carl's! Highly recommend but I discovered calling ahead is helpful as they are still curbside only. ”
“ Ordered a large coffee cake. It was fresh and delicious. We truly enjoyed it. I'm not sure why they are still doing curbside because it is not organized it the product was so good that it doesn't really matter. ”
“ Excellent pastry with quick service! When I was there was curbside only not sure if that's still a thing. ”
