Everything we tried was Delicious 🤤
The Canolis are Fantastic. Best in San Antonio! Our group has tried several other places and none compare. Come here for the best dessert! Especially the canoli.
I always love coming here, even though I am always rushed to make a decision. You can definitely tell that the people behind the counter working are super impatient, even though their only job is to pluck the pastry from the parchment and place it in a bag or box.. the staff is super jaded. And there isn't a smile in sight.

Carlo's Bake Shop is known for its delicious desserts, although some may find them a bit pricey. The cannolis, particularly the peanut butter and regular flavors, are a must-try—some say they're the best ever. The bakery offers slices of cake to-go, like the amazing strawberry shortcake, and also sells drinks and Buddy Valastro merchandise.
The wide variety of desserts may leave you in awe, from decadent dark chocolate mousse to huge danishes. Everything is made from scratch on-site, according to Buddy's recipes, which even impressed a visiting pâtissier. The rainbow cake, made in honor of Buddy's father, is a standout.
The staff at Carlo's Bake Shop are friendly and patient, providing great service even when busy. The clean and bright ambiance adds to the overall positive experience. As a bonus, the bakery offers a discount to veterans.
The bakery can get crowded, with long lines, but the service remains awesome. Quality pastries here rival those in Jersey, making it a sweet stop at La Cantera in San Antonio.
