This is one of my favorite little go to bakeries… although i travel 35 – 40 mins to get here, from PA to Upstate NY, its entirely worth ever mile. My main reason for coming to this quaint little family run bakery is for there amazing cannolis at $ 9.50lb for a dozen, i had to get 2 dozen for the hell of it. Carmines is great and has a huge array of pastries, cakes, cookies, donuts, breads and anything you need custom made to order…

The cake was soft and covered with a lot of creamy frosting. A pleasure to eat.

Stopped in for bagels, I would say if you’re not a regular already — don’t bother going. Plenty of other bakeries in the area. According to the stickers on the window they take card, I checked before I stopped — then I was given the cold shoulder because I didn’t have cash. The women ringing me up had to have said«Oh what a day!» about three times in the few minutes I was there. While I received the cold shoulder, they went out of their way to say hello to people you could tell were regulars since they were called by name. I asked for napkins with the bagels I ordered, and I was given about a third of a ripped paper towel, and the impression that I was inconveniencing them by stopping in for breakfast. The bakery goods have been delicious, for as long as I can remember — However the customer service I received was awful enough that I will not be returning.

Easter Strufoli? No thank you. What a disgrace to the art of pastry-making. The pastry was extremely lean and flavorless. It tasted as if these nuggets were fried in old, oxidized oil. Never again.

Interesting little bakery on East Main St in Middletown. This is my second visit to Middletown in the last 2 – 3 months. A pal of mine is a medical student nearby and he recommended this bakery. We almost forgot to stop by here until we noticed it on the road on our way home. We made a quick U-ie, pulled into their parking lot and had to give Carmine’s a honest try. Upon entering the bakery, the first thing I noticed was a family vibe. It feels like a old time bakery and family owned for many years. As far as selection and variety goes, they have a fair amount of cookies and some pastries but not much of cakes or slices of cakes for that matter. So we gave their cookies a shot and ordered a pound of them. We ate them on the road and a majority of the cookies were pretty good. The cookies were nice and soft and had a nice crumble in each bite. The cookies were NOT hard as rock or stale. The cannoli cookie was pretty tasty. Good cream filling and wasn’t tooth aching sweet which took me by surprise. I enjoyed it very much to my liking. The hazelnut cookie was interesting. I love hazelnut. The visual appearance of the cookie itself does not look very appealing. I couldn’t figure out what it was until the nice lady behind the counter told us it was a hazelnut cookie. The hazelnut chocolate was good, the nuts were also good but my friend and I felt there was just too many nuts in each cookie. Perhaps it would of tasted better if the nut were sliced or smashed instead of full nuts. The chocolate chip cookie here is really good. It’s a small little cookie with small little chocolate chips. The chips are not entirely melted soft but since the cookie itself is so brittle, the chips gives it a nice crunchy bite to it. Verdict — From what I have tasted, the cookies is an easy 4 – 5 stars. None of the cookies were insanely sweet like many other bakeries. These are the type of cookies I can wolf down all day and night without worrying about a toothache. I also purchased a cheesecake for my friend to take home. I didn’t get the chance to taste it but from the look of it, it looks very homemade.
