Carousel Bakery

Small bakery in town that has been here forever. I use it to run in and get bread and bagels for my family when Im in a rush and can’t get to my favorite places I frequent. I have bought a couple cakes here and they seemed fresh. Is it the best in the area, no but it is a small shop that carries a decent variety of items. Service can be very slow at times even with only 4 people waiting. They do a decent amount of business. My family says the bread is good, but I can tell their Italian bread is not like an Italian specialty store.

This bakery used to be excellent. Well not anymore. Cheesecake had mold all over it. So gross. Pastries stale. Will never go here again. Better off going to Shop Rite.

I’m not sure if I went in on an off day, but their red velvet cupcake was dry & stale. The cannoli was also discarded after one bite. I went in expecting treats and felt cheated

Just bought the strawberry shortcake for my sister’s birthday and it is a FRESH cake. Perfectly light, airy and fresh fruit! Everyone wanted seconds! Very happy customer!

So far I’ve had a mini cannoli and a cream filled donut covered in powdered sugar on 2 separate visits. Each time I am dreaming about going back the next day and the next day after that. I can’t wait to try more and more delicious items at this bakery. It looks unassuming when you walk in but when you try to baked good you will be in love. I will update my review the next time I go for delicious treats.

I order my fresh bread here. It’s very good. The customer service is average. They have a couple of younger girls working there who are nice, but don’t seem to know very much.
They open early (6am) and always have a wide variety of fresh baked breads in stock. I love to order wheat bread and they are one of the few bakeries in the area that bake it regularly. The deserts are also really good.
If you come in knowing what you want, you will be happy. If you aren’t sure what you want or have questions, don’t expect much from the help.

This place is the definition of a small town bakery. Locals know its the place to go for fresh, homemade products at a great price.
Almost everything they sell, with the exception of the bagels and and a few of the small strudel stick pastries, are made on premises. The bread is super fresh and made every morning, if you stop in early enough you may catch some hot rolls or tea biscuits fresh out of the oven. The tea biscuits are actually tiny soda breads and for some reason my grandma (and pretty much every other elderly person I’ve given them to) loves them. The bread is a total standout here, and the prices are extremely reasonable for a great product.
If you’re looking for a cake, they sell 8 inch round cakes in a variety of delicious flavors. They will also write on them free of charge, which is great if you’re in a rush to a party. The strawberry shortcake is a personal favorite, white or chocolate cake with light, fresh whipped cream frosting and strawberry preserves that are made in house. The chocolate cheesecake is my mom’s favorite, and its unlike any cake you’ll find anywhere else. Its a whole 6 inch cheesecake sandwiched between two layers of chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream and ganache frosted. We’ve had to get this one for several birthday parties, its always a hit. The other pastries and tiny cake bites found along the bottom of the cake case display are great if you can’t decide on a whole cake. Try the cream puffs, they’re filled with a mix of vanilla custard and whipped cream which results in a light, unique flavor.
The cookies are also very good, if a tad on the pricier side per pound. The cupcakes are good but very simple. They’re worth it to try the buttercream icing. Go for the doughnuts, made every morning. My aunt is a huge fan of the custard filled powder, while I’m partial to the cinnamon sugar jelly. The black and white cookies are not what you’d normally find in a bakery, they’re flat cupcakes frosted with buttercream and chocolate fudge. Once you try these, you won’t be able to go back to those shiny, hard frosted ones you find at other bakeries.
If all this isn’t enough to get you to try, they also take custom orders for cakes (including wedding cakes) and orders for cookie trays, pastry assortments, and bread.
At Carousel, they’re not re-​inventing the wheel on baked goods. Expect to find high quality, simple bakery fare thats flavorful and well priced.

My «go-​to» bakery for a fresh and delicious strawberry shortcake :)
