If you're a Hoboken resident, make sure you sure your ID to get to the front of the line.
Milton GeorgesSeptember 7, 2010Expect to wait in line for hours even if you get there early. The line wraps out the door, down the block, and down the block across the street. Pastries are good, and Buddy is nice, but let's be real
Ray ShiApril 28, 2013It must be a very famous bake shop! Get in a looong line, and ready for the good stuff!
Sarah LimJuly 12, 2012Order online to avoid waiting in line! I went on a weekday in the afternoon, and it was still an hour wait.
E DareMarch 25, 2012Skip the line, go to Carlos cake boss cafe @ discovery times square. Cakebosscafe.com. Hoboken has 100+ people in line always, incl now.
Andrew SteinJuly 19, 2010Like others said, try the cannolis and lobster tails. Also was lucky enough to have one of their wedding cakes a couple months ago. It was incredible!
Brian DuddyJuly 28, 2011Just be ready to wait in line and find parking. The line usually runs across Newark street and you get a number to get in.- Isaac RatcliffApril 9, 2013I watch Cake Boss all the time and im only a kid but i still bake cakes here at my house
valdine langApril 2, 2013When will u be opening a store in South Africa we also was the Carlos Bakery Magic
TLCJune 2, 2010While the cakes made the "Boss" famous, the cannolis are some of the best you'll find. Don't forget to say hi to Buddy!
Sandy KaurAugust 15, 2013Long line! Didn't get to go in much before we were rudely told to wait in line. So I have no clue how the pasteries were which sucks since I love the show and wanted to buy.
Jessica GeorgeOctober 25, 2011Totally impressed by the warm, friendly, and efficient customer service. I had a great experience in the shop!
StarkSeptember 11, 2011If you like recreating the experience of riding in an NYC subway car during rush hour, this is the bakery for you.
Dragon AwesomeJuly 21, 2012Order online if you just want to get in the store for pics without waiting. However, you can't add anything else to your order.
Martha GarveyJanuary 1, 2011Cake Boss fans-looking for more love and cake in your life? Check out Shortcake, adorable dog up for adoption at water4dogs.com.
Zhue EstradaDecember 18, 2014Nothing wow, the cakes are average. it's just because it's famous is cool, better go to the pizzeria in the corner: Basile's.
Rita AlvesApril 18, 2013Hello, my name is Rita, I live in Brazil and I am huge fan of Buddy and the entire team at Carlo's.
Athina SelenaJuly 29, 2011Cupcakes arent that great. Lobster tails are the best I tasted though. Overall, not worth the wait. I guess you go once for the experience.
Seamus Coffey GallagherSeptember 18, 2011Unless you live in Hoboken dont wait in live because you can skip the line if you have proof you live in Hoboken!- Jackie BandaAugust 2, 2010Go in May before the kids get out of school. Only a 5min wait. In July/August its about 1.5hrs. Try the chocolate covered strawberries & lobster tails! Yum!
happycontentmeMarch 10, 2012The lobster tails really are AMAZING... And perfect size, not too big or small.
There is a special 'no wait' entry for residents. But only Hoboken...Jersey City doesn't count!
Jasmin Bsi ScenesafetyOctober 7, 2011Get here before 3pm or the line will be dwn the block n around the corner
- ᴡ HirschJune 7, 2011Luv the cupcakes! Get there first thing in morning before the buses pull up and unload.
Overrated and overpriced. Avoid the brownies--sweet and bland. Cupcakes are cold and somewhat dry. Lobster tail is good, but one is more than enough. Go at night to avoid the long line, ~8:30pm.
