Some of the best customer service in the valley (thank you to Christine)!On a Thursday, I ordered a VERY complicated cake, believing I was a whole week ahead. Long story short, my relatives called me and told me that they would be unable to attend my family get together unless it was held the upcoming Saturday (in 2 days) instead of the next Saturday (which was 9 days out- I had ordered the cake for this day).I called Karl’s to ask if there was something they could do- and I suggested (and would have been grateful) for a much simpler cake because the request was so last minute.Christine, the person who had patiently helped me at every stage (placing the order, modifying my order, requesting to expedite my order) simply said something along the lines of: “we are excited to make that cake for you, and we’ll get it done for you when you need it”. I really believe she could hear I was a bit stressed out and was trying to make the event as happy as possible for me.There were No extra charges, there was no heckling or guilt tripping; just incredible service. I haven’t had someone help me that generously in a long time. I’ve been telling everyone about Karl’s!Also- I wanted to add that they offer more than good service. They have some of the best cake flavors in valley and really cool baked goods. Some treats (like Swedish Princess Cake) you can’t find anywhere else! The prices are very reasonable too.Thank you Christine!!!

Wow! Karl's Bakery had been around for eons solely for the reason he creates the tastiest sweets and treats. So many good things to eat: Heart shaped Linzer cookie, Alligator pastry and gorgeous couture cakes!

I've been going to Karl's for decades. I am never disappointed.And now I need an eclair.Or perhaps a donut.Maybe both.And some cookies!I don't even like cookies!Stupidly good baked goods.What I always want to try, but still never have, is the quiche. It always looks delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: There's plenty of room to get in and maneuver through the bakery itself, I don't know where the ramp is for the sidewalk. And I don't know where the parking would be. But once you get to the bakery, you will be able to get in and maneuver.And all of the goods will be at eye level for you!YaY! The bright side!

Best bakery in town. You can’t go wrong with anything they have. We had a custom 3 tiered cake for an event. It rivaled the fanciest of wedding cakes. And it was delicious.

This hole in the wall bakery has been around since the early/mid 90s. Everything is baked fresh and they have so many great options. From cupcakes to cookies to pies to cakes and breads... they have lots of seasonal baked goods too and everything looks amazing. Every time I come in here I just want to get one of each thing. Today I got some eclairs, macaroons and a fruit tart. They use all fresh ingredients in their tarts and I have yet to find another bakery that makes them this good within the vicinity. We always get good service here and they are really friendly and willing to recommend something if you just can't decide. Bonus is the few times I've been here they always throw in some extra seasonal cookies for free with our purchase. It is a little pricey (not much) but I truly feel that it's worth the quality of the items they have. If you are in the Sunnyslope area definitely pay them a visit and treat yourself to something sweet. It's ok to have a cheat day ;)

Legit bakery with a large selection of cookies, pastries, muffins, donuts, cakes and pies.Was pleasantly surprised at the selection and we sampled a few. The chocolate croissant, cherry turnover, chocolate cake donut and a bear claw were all wonderful. Located in Central Phoenix near Dunlap and Central Ave.

The older woman behind the counter was very rude. Wouldn't look at me nor answer me. Will never return.
This bakery has been around forever and is so good!! My mom always ordered cakes and desserts for our family from here. I now bring my kids here too. So yummy!! The coconut raspberry bars are delicious .

How to positive experience here. Just came in to get a couple of little treats and the lady behind the counter was very nice. She and gave me a free Christmas cookie. The place was clean, she was very hygenic which I appreciate. I enjoyed my scone for breakfast.
