Carmine's Italian Bakery

Came for breakfast and had the best egg sandwich made by the owners son Giuseppe. Such a hardworking and good kid, will be back!!

I placed an order and they promised to make the same caske that was shown to them. The owners wife promised to get it done. On the day I picked up the cake it was a total different cake. The store owner was very nonchalant about the situation mind I mentioned to him that this cake was specifically for a special needs Kid. The owner became very hostile I'm front of costumers and asked me to leave his store when he made a whole different cake then what I ordered. They even called the police on me and the police were very sorry for what had happened to me. I do not recommend this place at all.

I came to buy one dessert. And I left with such a great experience!!!!! I went to the bakery because it’s Italian. They have such a big variety of pastries to choose from but the what made me so happy about this place was the interaction with the owners they are such genuine and generous people if I come to this town again I would come back in a heart beat!!!

I visited this establishment on the morning of Thursday October 19, 2023. I attempted to open the door to enter the bakery. I was unable to pull the door open. As a starter to return to my car someone from inside scream loudly that the door is open and the lights are on and I’m behind the counter. What is wrong with you people everyone complains that the door sticks and they must be stupid because they don’t realize that we are open. I told her that the door was very difficult to open. I am almost most 69 years old by anyone would have difficulty opening the door to the bakery. The person working there behind the counter a young female said how old are you? Are you too weak to open the door what is wrong with you. I started looking at the various baked goods they had on the rocks, and she continued to banter me. I told her that I was good and obviously Carmines does not need my business so I left without purchasing anything. Why on earth do they have this lady working there? Cannot they find anyone else who is willing to work there? Is that what they pride themselves on regarding customer service? Believe me I will never go there again and will never recommend that establishment.

Phenomenal food and the kindest staff I have ever dealt with.

The Custom Chocolate and Strawberry Cake that I ordered from Carmine’s with only 24 hour notice was great. The price was reasonable, the cake met all of our expectations - and the gentleman at the counter made sure that I knew what to order to get what I wanted. Thank you!!!

Early afternoon on a Friday. I was the only customer. A lady came out from the back to behind the counter while talking on the phone. I started to order when she looked at me. I pointed to 3 different fruit Danishes and she proceeded to drop them into a bag, one on top of the other (no care, no paper in between)... all while telling the person on the other end of the phone that she "spent a lot of money in Monticello." I tried to ask her about other pastries and she was clearly annoyed that I was interrupting her phone conversation. I pointed to two more pastries, she dropped them in the bag on top of the Danishes. Then I pointed to a linzer cookie with confectioners sugar on top of it and asked her to put that in a separate bag. At this point she put the phone down to put the cookie in a separate bag. "Anything else?" I paid and left. Pastries were so-so. Not going back there again.

First time there. Presentation..u want to eat it all. The reality I woukdn't again. In addition to the bakery items we got 2 bacon, egg & cheese sandwiches on a roll, the roll was stale. Coffee was ok. The pastries are stale. The cream on the lobster tail has a hardness on it that tells it is stale, also the strawberry sticks, look at the inside, it is not fresh at all. The b& w cookie the worst. The Napoleon, the cream was just like the lobster tail. The woman behind the counter was working, she was moving, not overly pleasant but she was keeping up. There was a line out the door, a older white haired man was in the back on his phone just standing around. Who was he..the owner??? Don't know but he could have pitched in seeing how busy they were. Even if he asked people what they wanted, put the items in a box & she could just ring it up. If I lived closer I would bring the pastries back. I do not recommend this place. They are a staple in the community & prob the only bakery for miles that is why they survive. Bye bye Carmine's

Very nice and welcoming. Old time structure, nice variety of cookies and pastries. John is such a sweetheart.
