Carlucci’s Bakery

Good baked goods. I always come here when I am stuck in SLC. They use Fettuccine sticks to stir the coffee rather than plastic stirs. Very cool idea.

Such a great lunch spot. The salads and sandwiches are good. Love the baked goods. A great place for downtown workers to grab a quick lunch. The quality of the food is very obvious and they take great care with every meal so you get a good experience every time.

Their simple 2 egg breakfast with choice of toast and Polenta was amazing.
I think everyone would like to admit when your toast is perfect it makes the whole meal better.
The bread here is good.
Eggs were fresh and couldn’t have asked for a better polenta. Super thick cut.
I added their goat cheese spread to it.
Heaven.
Late was rich but not too sugary.
Smiling faces in the morning and good tunes.
They win.

Yuck is what I have to say about this place. Please
Don’t ruin a cookie by adding strange herbs to it. My office tried it. We would take votes and we would spit them out. not good at all. No I don’t want rosemary and thyme In my cookie. They even screwed up a chocolate chip. So you might ask why the 3 stars? Well their carrot cake was wonderful. Thick dense moist and the frosting was awesome. They redeemed themselves with the cake. But out of trying 6 cookies we spit them all out. No thanks. I would not go back.

The deserts here are good. But as a café (lunch) spot, I only go because it is close to where I work. It’s overpriced for what you get. Customer service can be mediocre. Bread on sandwiches or for soup is not very good, especially for a bakery. Last few times I’ve ordered salad and the spinach has that wilted old look/​taste. I only go now if I’m in a hurry as there’s not much around.

Where do I begin? The fruit tarts are scrumptious! Cannoli’s are amazing. My favorite is the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. They give you a side of pasta salad… wow! Love it. My daughter’s favorite is the chicken salad. Hot bowl of soup when it’s cold outside. Home made and fresh! Great service and friendly staff. Try this bakery and you will never be disappointed!

I love eating here! The food is always perfect, the coffee’s are creative and smooth, and the staff is great.
They don’t seem to have a high turn over rate since I see the same people working there All the time. It’s nice, they get to know your order and go the extra mile.
The baked goods are to die for, although I try to stay away.
I personally go here for the avocado toast and coffee. They have a great iced coffee with real coffee ice cubes.

I called and ordered a chocolate cake for an upcoming birthday. They told me the chocolate decadence would be perfect for a chocolate lover so I ordered it. When I picked it up, it was more like fudge than a cake. It was really good, just not exactly what I had in mind. Everything else I’ve had there has been great, I guess I need to be more specific next time.

Our kid went out of town for the summer, so two irresponsible adults headed out of the house looking for real pastries, as opposed to kid stuff. Today we got a box of treats that included a ganache brownie, an espresso brownie, a sugar cookie, a chocolate sandwich cookie and some carrot cake. Oh yeah, and this cream cheese croissant pastry that puts any croissant I’ve ever had to shame. It was a sweet indulgence for two summer «empty nesters.» So delish!

The iced latte and lavender espresso bars will change your life. Leave your religion, leave your wife, sell all your worldly goods, and spend it all at Carlucci’s.

My review of things I have tried so far:
¹⁰⁄₁₀ Raspberry Chocolate Decadence. This is perhaps one of my favorite chocolate items to eat from anywhere.
⁹⁄₁₀ Chock full of Apple filling slices with thin crust.
⁷⁄₁₀ Black and white cookie. I feel like the lemon cookie could be more lemony, maybe with lemon rhind mixed in.

Yes. I’m in love with this place. I’ve only had their pastries, so I need to get back for lunch. It’s a cute vibe in a fun downtown part of SLC. I will most defs be going back.

Went to get a slice of carrot cake. It was not cut yet. They told me I could get a slice but they would have to charge me for the whole cake. WTF? I see several other cakes that are being served by the slice in your display window. Ohh well. Gourmandies is probably better anyway.

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Pioneer square. Friendly service and great food. I had the Italian baked tofu sandwich which came with pasta salad. The sandwich was well prepared and served quickly. The portion was more than enough to fill me up, and I’m a hungry guy. Bread was a little too thick for my taste, but otherwise very tasty and the perfect thing to soak up their delicious balsamic dressing. Combined with the baked tofu and provolone, this is one hearty meal. Definitely wish I had room for dessert; the bakery case had me drooling :)

Awesome little bakery in downtown Salt Lake. (Right across the street from Pioneer Park.) Small dinning area, mostly just a take-​out bakery. I enjoyed everything I have ever tried here.
Pastries to try:
**My Fav: — Fresh fruit tarts (Wowza are these little devils yummy! 4″ are the perfect size for dessert for one person.)**
— Chocolate croissant
— Shortbread cookie
— Black & white cookie
— Decadence (flourless chocolate cake. I normally get the baby one since it is super rich.)
Breads to try:
**My Fav: — Cheese Focaccia**
Breakfast:
— French Toast (It’s thick slices, and man is it great.)
— Veggie omelet (Add avocado and it’s the perfect omelet.)
Lunch:
— Chicken Salad sandwich (Chicken salad with cashews on a croissant. I have never ordered anything else here for lunch because I am hooked on this sandwich!)
Carlucci’s has excellent service, delicious food & decadent desserts and the ambiance of this little place is just plan cute!

Service was great and I love the quaint feeling in the café. The things I loved were the lemon ricotta cookies and the fruit tart! I would not recommend their breakfast burrito. Imaging a large tortilla filled with all potatoes and maybe 1 egg with a little cheese. Next time I will try the French toast which my gut told me to try in the first place.

Staff, location, prices, cakes, pastries, muffins, etc: Awesome.
Here’s what I want to zero in and talk about: Tiramisu.
It’s so good. So so so SO good. It’s a good thing that it’s only in that small cup because if they offered it in a Bucca Di Beppo size, I’d eat the entire thing all by myself in one sitting. I could buy what’s in the counter/​display and say it’s for a party, but that would be a lie.
It’s rich, creamy, not too sweet, and full of flavors that blend incredibly well. It’s strong, but like I said, they blend well. After eating it I always sigh and reflect back on how great it was, thinking about when I’ll eat it again.
All of the pastries/​tarts are fantastic and seem to overshadow the tiramisu with their bright colors and buttery-​ness, but give the tiramisu a try.

Carlucci’s Bakery is a gem is downtown Salt Lake City. I have been here dozens of times and tried nearly every baked good they serve. Its a standard stop for me to pick up no hassle desserts when I am serving fish, olives and cheeses from neighboring stores. Everything is good… the breads, the lemon bars, the chocolate decadence, the cookies and fruit tarts. My favorites, however, are their cakes. I love cake and Carlucci’s cakes never disappoint. Their carrot cake is my absolute favorite anywhere. Most of the bake goods come in multiple sizes so you can choose a selection to serve as finger food or stick with a full dessert. The cakes come in two sizes and the little ones are perfect for a quick indulgence. I’m starting to crave the carrot again.

We got our wedding cake from here and we couldn’t be more happy. Reasonably priced, elegant and most important of all delicious! It was probably the best cake I have ever eaten. The cake was supposed to serve 120 people, we had about 100 but because people went back for seconds it was gone!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I’ve been coming to this great little bakery for some time. The staff is beyond friendly and oh the wonderful treats they have! I love the fruit tarts personally but get varieties for my office all the time and everyone always raves about the deserts — especially the lemon bars.
Today I got lunch and the food came out quickly, was reasonably priced and delicious. My pup really enjoyed the doggy treats as well :) good coffee too!
