Excellent pastry , but not keen on the Italian Bread, it's not NYC Italian . Service was fine could you a make over but your there for the pastry not the decorations

Plenty selections, mostly cookies though. Can't say place looks like much outside or inside but hey it's a quick stop for some sweets. I found the service here pretty funny, I guess the mother had her son run the counter and they both went back and forth like a comedy bit, about tying pastries boxes with her eyes closed. So as for pastries they were alright, soft, and chewy. Plus pretty reasonable price wise. To me this place fits an average for bakeries, not awesome but not mah.

Excellent breakfast For the price, freshly cooked never microwave like McDonald's. Coffee done every 20 mns. Or less. Priced below anyone in town. Hot bread daily. And day old pasties are a steal. Fun place to meet new people with talent Cooking smells great Can't wait until they expand there eat in area Great family business

My father and I went to Carmine's Italy Bakery to pick up bread for French bread pizzas. When we walked in I went straight to the hot chocolate machine to make myself a large hot chocolate. My dad went up to wait in line. After I finished making my hot chocolate the customer that was behind us a little assume was a constant customer and the cashier knew what he wanted so he asked us if he could just make his sandwich fast. We said sure and that we don't mind waiting cause we were still looking at what they had anyways. After he was done he asked us what we wanted and thanked us for being patient. We said that we would just like a loaf of bread so that we could make our French bread pizzas. Then we saw some sprinkle cookies that I wanted to try and we asked how much they would be. He told us they go by the pound. So we got a quarter of a pound. The cookies were delicious. We saw some other type of cookie that my mom likes to try and we just wanted to know what they were called so that we could get her some in the future because we are in two separate locations as of right now. Once we payed he thanked us again and gave us a few extra cookies for our patience. We didn't want to except the cookies because we didn't mind waiting at all but he insisted. He was a very kind and generous man and we like to support the mom and pops businesses in our area. I would definitely recommend this bakery if you are looking for some good cookies and fresh bread.
