Carlo’s Bakery

The tiramisu was delicious! Have to agree that the cookies are a little overpriced, but my husband did enjoy the sprinkle cookie he got. The iced coffee was good too! Fast and friendly service :)

Seriously? This won stuff. Maybe if you’re not from the NE and didn’t grow up with Italian bakeries around. The items in the case didn’t even look delectable. Like I forced myself to order something just to try what the hoopla was all about. I ended up with a French cream donut. Cake was so hard I threw out after sucking out the filling, which I did enjoy. I’d probably try something with cannoli filling if I returned. Honestly though, the Krispy Kreme stuff downstairs is just as good and fresh out of the oven.

$ 5.26 for one shortbread cookie. You gotta be kidding me? WTF?

While the frosting was good, the cake was not. Very very dry, and just not worth the price they’re charging. I’m disappointed I waited in line 10 minutes for this. I won’t be coming back, that’s for sure.

Damn you, Buddy Valastro.
I wanted to not like your baked goods, I wanted to throw your bakery into the ditch of chain Italian food — but I can’t! Buddy delivers decent Italian pastry — I’m as shocked as you are, especially since Carlo’s has now swelled up to eleven locations.
I watched Cake Boss when it first premiered, but I never bothered going to the original Carlo’s in Hoboken because (1) it became a tourist trap, and (2) I live in NYC and have some of the best Italian bakeries at my disposal. However, we were at Mohegan and my curiosity got the best of me when I discovered there was a Carlo’s here.
A lot of reviews talk about crazy lines with a number system to place your order — I saw the red ticket dispenser but when I approached Carlo’s a little after 10am there was no line. This particular Carlo’s is set up more like a counter service place — think food court in the mall setup. In addition to the pastries they sell Cake Boss souvenirs and books Buddy has written. They also have an area with tables so you can sit and enjoy your sweets.
I picked up a few things to take home — lobster tails, cannoli, napoleon, and a couple of Linzer tarts. The pastries were good — the cannoli especially was a highlight because they’re filled to order, plus they have regular shells and chocolate-​covered ones. Having relatively low expectations, I was surprised at the quality of the baked goods, they weren’t the best I’ve had but definitely above average. I’m not running back to any Carlo’s at the moment, but it’s nice to know the pastries live up to the hype.

Love the fruit tarts, the cheesecake looks like heaven, the chocolate mousse cake is a definite, the service is great (actually met Grace, a relative. She was Awesome to me and my son. Can’t wait to sample everything. I wish we could sit and watch the magic happen
P. s. Just tried the Red Velvet cheesecake and it is sooooo good. Can taste the chocolate and the cream cheese frosting is the real stuff. Thank you ladies for you great service.

Wife and I wanted something sweet before we went back to our room for the night. I was looking forward to a cannoli. Wouldn’t you know, no cannoli’s. Really ?? Pictures of Carlo all over the casino with a cannoli and you can’t order one at his bakery ?
So after my initial disappointment, I went with a brownie. Brownie was coated with sugar on the bottom, overall it was OK, but it wasn’t anything I’d go back for. My wife was happy with the chocolate cake she had ordered. I had a few bites of it, but wasn’t impressed.
An extremely weak 3 Star rating for Carlo’s Bakery in Mohegan Sun. Maybe I’ll be back for a cannoli in the future (if they have them).

Was pretty excited to try this place because I thought it would be amazing do to it being a big tv hit. The cupcakes and cake I got were incredibly dry, and i would have thought it was a fluke except the other reviews are the same. Like really really dry.

My friend who is a Cake Boss fan was dying to stop into Carlo’s. There were some hits and some misses. The cheesecake was possibly the best I have ever had and I have had my fair share of cheesecake. It is a very light, airy cheesecake and I didn’t even know that was possible. The cannoli on the other hand, not my favorite. The lobster tails, were a little under sweetened for my taste and the pastry not as crisp or light as it should be. We also tried a brandy cookie, which lacked something.
Go for the cheesecake — pass on the cannoli

Sorry, but i was not impressed by this place. Lets start with the premise of the long hour and a half wait. Its very chaotic with no organization? Which is not appealing to me. Then when your done waiting for your number there so burnt out from the 100 people before you that there tought to get a smile out of! Then comes the qualities of the pastries. In my opinion it’s. Not what you would expect to be top notch, the taste is old? Which was suprising? I will say i will try it again to be fair, because it might just be that new jitters getting thru them?

My boyfriend and I were very excited to try Carlos bakery after our dinner tonight, there was no wait which was nice so we could take our time and pick what we wanted. We decided on 3 cupcake the chocolate fudge, Oreo and peanut butter. We got them to go and it was a total on $ 9 which wasn’t too bad. We get home and I open my first one to find that it was stale and very hard, the icing was bland and cake was flavorless. I tried to take the cupcake wrapper off of the cake and it was literally stuck to it and came off in pieces. So gross, I thought the second one would be better but same result. Very disappointed, I’d rather go to Krispy Kreme.

Absolutely RIDICULOUS! Living in CT and hearing all the hype about the Cake Boss coming to Mohegan Sun, I too was intrigued by the celebrity bake shop opening. And of course — you watch the show at home and now you can taste the goods in real life without having to travel all the way to Jersey! Yay! Not so much… Everything is SO overpriced, you would think that they are mixing gold dust in with their flour! I brought my 3 kids to «Buddy’s» and they all wanted cookies… M&M, Rainbow Sprinkled & Chocolate Chip … Each cookie cost $ 3.00! That’s $ 9.00 for 3 cookies — SERIOUSLY! You have better odds spending your money on the game floor. Very disappointing…

My wife was excited that Carlos bakery was coming to Mohegan Sun. We celebrated our anniversary at the casino and decided we would get pastry for the ride home. We got up to the counter at it was about 11:20pm and it states to grab a number (ticket) for service. The ticket I grabbed said 54, the man behind the counter yelled out 31, serving number 31. Needless to say, there were a bunch of numbers that were stuck in the machine that people left behind due to getting fed up for having to wait a long wait. After digging through the numbers, I found number 42, so it wasn’t that bad
We decided to look at the pastry while the line got a little smaller. Most of the pastry didn’t look that good at all. The pumpkin pie was burnt and cracked. Some of the cupcakes looked like they were knocked over and then put back on the tray. A lady in front of me asked if there was anything glutton free. The guy rolled his eyes and said «oh yeah we have two selections for glutton free» You have TWO? Wow you care about your customers don’t you. There were four people who were taking order and calling numbers and most of the time they would fill an order on their little computer tablet, take your name, ask what you want, and then would disappear into the backroom. After they disappeared, I heard a lot of people around the counters saying they were not impressed with the bakery or the service they had received.
My wife and I ordered two brownies and two cupcakes…$ 14.75! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Needless to say, she wanted to say she got something for Carlos bakery and I was curious to try it. We got back to our hotel room and had the brownies which were ok. We saved the cupcakes for our kids so they could experience Carlos’ too. My seven year old and ten year old said they were ok. I tried a little bit of the cupcake, and it was like eating sand, very dry, and had no flavor.
You are better off saving your money and going to Dunkin Donuts so you don’t have to pay the overpriced rent for this «bakery». The only thing you see when you get there is Buddy’s face plastered everywhere on everything from books, to mugs, to t-​shirts. I guess its more about his reputation and ego that putting out a good product. I don’t see this place lasting here as people won’t put up with paying for overpriced baked goods that taste like they came out of an Easy Bake oven.

Great pastries! I went for the classic cannoli and it was very good. Service was fast, despite what others said, and I was very pleased with my experience. Will definitely be returning.

IF the products you purchase are fresh… IF the pastries you bring home are the ones you actually ordered… you will probably enjoy the decadently delicious (if overly sweet) offerings from Carlo’s. I have been to Carlo’s three different times. I strongly dislike the ordering procedure. you grab a number… finally your number gets called… you are greeted by an I-​pad wielding employee. She takes your order… she fills your order as you bump into customers making your way to the cash register. VERY awkward. My first trip my crumb buns arrived home really stale. my second trip had one of my items missing and a different item substituted. third trip went a little better but I had to wait a ½ hr. to get served. I’ve had a birthday cake (ridiculously rich and filling)…absolutely delicious (and rich) brownies… very tasty butter cookies and some terrific Linzer tarts. The bakery items overall are very good. employees seem nice… hassled and not enough of them… but the actual ordering deal might work in Hoboken but not in Uncasville. They have a nice little dining area but I’ve never seen anyone actually eating there.

Been dyin4g for this place to open! So today 10 /​22/​15 my parents are heading to the Sun to meet up w/​dear old friends dinner /​gamble. I had Carlos but siked opened but there was no menu about month ago this time yes! So went 1 went page 2 see what they had today. Called back 1 item I really wanted was0ut of stock the chocolate mousse cream puffs however they had hazelnut crème puffs so got 2, of then $ 2 each &2 reg. Remind me of being a little girl w/​Italian 4. I did get a ½ lb. Of their 7– layer rainbow cookies. Those are $ 19.99 lb. I got half pound which was only about eight cookies if you see my pictures there big 8 decent size. I the fact not covered w/​a ton of chocolate + sprinles which many bakeries do 3 raise $ when weighing that due to the heaviness of the chocolate. The jelly /​jam is delicious. Not overbearingly sweet or heavy don’t crumble in your hand. When U C pic. 2 gone, make some cupcakes nothing too fancy. no canoli which I thought was odd. None of them filled normal vanilla or choc. cake w/​chocolate fudg or BC if u prefer. Had chocolate cake PB frosting, red velvet, Oreo cookie cream. + few more. Make seasonal ones so they had van. Cake w/​fudge or BC. 4 Halloween have e fondont ghost or pumpkins edi. I got carrot cake BC they don’t put raisins in it I hate raisins in carrot cake! So basically it was walnuts, coconut, carrots chopped in cake mix. t5 then topped w/​a cream cheese frosting it’ thr bomb! best one I’ve had up in here so far they also make delicious éclair you’re normal w/​custard and punch Dr not to have you at work to die for also 1 w/​strawberries w/​whipped cream filling. the last thing I got was that lost so Mini cakes there are replicas of some of their big ones they have like a chocolate mousse cake, strawberry cheesecake, this goes on and on but I got a mini tiramisu. That was $ 6.95 this thing is humongous it round with every attention to detail from the lady fingers to the declaration on top even tied with a ribbon I would say that it is about 3 & ¼ inches across. They serve it on a little gold cake tray wrap it in a special box. When I looked $ bottom or cake u can see & small the espresso or whatever is soaked into the cake.
the other items I wanted to try but they were sold out they make a cannoli donut as well as their own specialty Carlo donut. Then you can place any type of order online & that needs 24 hours whether for cake/​cookie tray or mixed arrangement. if you type in promo code that’s on the homepage you save 10%. You can also order over the phone. My family had been at the casino so what I did was look at the menu write down what I was interested in called and spoke to someone found out what they had left then had them pack it up I paid for it over the phone that way when my parents are ready to leave they just had to pick it up and sign my credit card receipt. It’s kind of a good thing if you don’t live close to Mohegan Sun but you might be in the area and you want to grab some dessert wheather ur gonna gamble a little bit or heading out in that area somewhere and you want to pick up a delicious cake or pastries or cookie tray. they do have your normal Italian cookies slots several flavors of rugula. They also sell those large cookies BxW. Linzer Tarts the Reg. strawberries /​raspberry jam or one filled w/​Nutella. Big chocolate chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip cookies, so many times you have to look. The website only been out recently. You can also order certain pastries & things by the Dozen. They have cakes l ready to go weather there cakes made w/​fondant& or more pizazz than a reg. cake /“whip cream /​bu (ercream frosting that you can order the right on review place it over the phone or go in and order it. They do give a free consult if U plan on ordering a cake for a special event. They have the bakery section which is by the food court when you order your stuff and you can sit and eat but they also havel” The Sweet shop” where you can explore the menus ^ basically change everything U want ex: special filled cannolis, especially personalized filled pastry puffs or whatever 4 a specific party.
I grew up in NY yet never made it to any of his bakery. I was highly impressed & it’s hard to please someone who’s a little more ½ Italian. I’ll be heading at Mohegan Sun tonight for Bellator hopefully some of the soul. Items will be available. If not next time call ahead they’ll tell you what they have package it up you pay and then just pick up the box don’t really have to wait on the line

Honestly, I am not sure what all the hype is about for this location or their original location. The pastries are just OK. They are not a place I would wait in long lines for or drive just to get.
The mini chocolate cake I purchased was very hard on the outside which was unappealing. The lobster tail was good but the filling left something to be desired. The 7 layer cookies had a good flavor but were extremely dry.
The only good thing about this location is that it is all open. You go up the escalator and the counter to order is right there — makes it easier than trying to jam into a little shop to order. You take a ticket and wait your turn — luckily while I was there most people didn’t end up waiting and the numbers went by quick.

This place was very odd… came at about 3:00 and there were 7 customers ahead of us. You grab a ticket and try to look at the dessert case while people are standing/​walking around aimlessly blocking everything. Once your number is called, you go up to the counter (wherever the person taking your order happens to be standing). And you order & give your name. Then you stand awkwardly in ANOTHER «line» while they package your items. You then awkwardly pay while people breathe down your neck from all directions.
Finally left at 3:40 with ONE DAMN CUPCAKE. AHHH!!! I’m thinking this cupcake better be amazing. It was good. I had the red velvet cupcake. There was a walnut garnish that I bit into first and it was so stale, yuck. But the cake and frosting were good – just good.
If they managed their customers better, this place could have up to 4 stars. But honestly, that was awful and really not worth the wait. Just go to Krispy Kreme because donuts on a conveyor belt are better than waiting 40 mins for nothing.
Also: soooo pricey. $ 3 for a small cookie and $ 7 tarts!

So happy they finally open, we love their cakes and sweets, this place is very organized and customer service is great, This location Is inside THE casino so is Lots if customer from out of town so is always Busy.

All I can say… I had a great experience. Yes– the line doesn’t make sense when ordering because you can miss part of the other case ahead of you BUT the person taking your order will stay with you until you complete your order and can view the ALL cases. There was no one rushing me to fulfill my order. Everything I purchased was fresh and delicious. The cupcakes are so good and moist! Yummy! The donuts are very good too! Brownies are decadent and fudgelike. Not to mention the chocolate chip cookies! Done to perfection. I have no complaints and this is a tasty place to indulge. I’m sure some of the line problems can be worked out but I don’t expect a long line all the time. They just opened so it’s a hit right now. Busy …
