Carlucci's Bakery

DELISH croissant!!! So flaky and tasty. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and an almond croissant and both were very good!! Not as strong as an almond flavor in other almond croissants I’ve had. We also got a lemon cookie and it was fine. Wouldn’t recommend the cookie. This place also gets packed so we had to eat outside.

The most incredible restaurant I’ve been to in slc and I’ve lived here my whole life! Their food is so, so fresh and delicious. Everything feels like it’s been made with love, attention, and care. The staff is some of the most friendly, welcoming people I’ve met and they are always eager to assist. I’ve seen the owner on site a few times, and she also seems like a dream. If I’ve heard correctly, her family is Italian and the food absolutely reflects Italian values. I dream about coming here on weekends, and every loved one I’ve brought here is just as obsessed. 10/10, there are no poor menu choices.

Love this little café. Nice variety on their menu. They serve breakfast all day, and have several delicious goodies to choose from too. Food is prepared fresh with care, so be prepared to wait a bit for your order.

Stoped by for a breakfast croissant with eggs and bacon. The staff was kind and helpful to take my order while I was multi tasking on a call. I love getting fresher baked goods and this place was fabulous. A definite place to try if you’re in town.

I stopped in this morning in a little bit of a rush to work and I'm so glad I did! I got the cold brew, the jalapeño/potato pastry, and the ham, caramelized onion, and swiss quiche. WOW that quiche was AMAZING! They also had my order ready so quickly. They have uncooked fettuccini pasta as coffee stirrers, which I loved ♻️ Also I love that they go the extra mile to freeze their cold brew into ice cubes to serve in the cold brew! I didn't feel rushed to drink my coffee for fear that it will water down. I'll definitely go back! Also the staff were all so kind and pleasant. The inside is cute too, this would be a cute date spot to split an afternoon cheesecake ❤️

The best fruit tart that I’ve ever tried…Period. Nice little spot with friendly service. The fruit tart was amazing. The cannoli and black/white cookie was just Ok.

**Cannoli Review ** Nice staff, cozy atmosphere, reasonably priced coffee, ok cannolis. I liked that they pipe them to order. My shell tasted a bit burnt, and it wasn’t completely full in the centre. I’ve been spoiled by the east coast cannolis (Mike’s Pastry, Boston MA), so it’s tough to find a place similar.

This is such a sweet neighborhood bakery. I love how every time I go in Carluccis, there's a regular customer chatting it up with one of the baristas or bakers, and it's such a sweet and homey vibe. My absolute favorite items from their bakery are the black and white cookies and the raspberry decadence torts. They have a bunch of cute and cozy decor, great views of the park and surrounding area, and a bunch of outdoor seating. The staff is always so friendly and efficient, too!

I went in to pick up a few desserts and stayed for a cappuccino and muffin. The coffee was delicious. The muffin was full of ripe blueberries, I was very happy with the service. The desserts were top notch. The only problem is now I want black and white cookies abc olive oil cake everyday.

Terrific little café with some of the friendly service you're going to get anywhere, and an endless variety of delicious sweet treats to dazzle your eyes and tempt your taste buds. I went in there for lunch and got the baked tofu sandwich. Although the line was long and the seating limited, once I ordered I got my food right away. It was absolutely delicious and worth standing in line for. It's a cozy place with a really nice vibe. I will certainly go back and try some of those baked goods.

We have visited Carlucci's probably a dozen times during our travels to SLC while visiting family. The food is always amazingly delicious and fresh. Their coffee is killer, the seating is comfy and their staff is friendly and efficient. BUT...they outdid themselves this time. My wife called to order a wedding cake for our daughters wedding (She lives in Utah but we are in Texas) so the logistics were tricky. My wife worked with Teressa and she was AMAZING. Not only did she make a perfect cake that tasted incredible but she also lets us borrow her cooler. She went above and beyond time and time again. We have always loved Carlucci's but Teressa gave us yet another reason to love them even more! Cant wait to visit again soon.

I went on a Tuesday morning when the bakery opened, hoping to get a fresh-made Black and White cookie. Unfortunately they were still serving the B&W's from the prior Saturday, cold and in plastic wrap. B-side: strong dark chocolate flavor. W-side: very mellow tasting. In terms of texture, it had the feel/taste of "magic shell." The cookie was very thin and both frosting were essentially folded from the top side to the bottom side. One Yelper said they it just like Nona used to make, but I prefer the NY/CA style. All of that said, I did enjoy my thin B&W cookie snack. The server behind the glass at Carlucci's was very nice and it looked like they had other tasty items.

Great bakery with lots of delicious breakfast and lunch options. Great place to stop before a visit to create smiles. The black n white cookie, a NYC classic, is better than most (all) in NYC?!? Easy parking. Great service. Bookmarked!

Stopped by Carlucci's Bakery after eating lunch right next store at Caputo's. This place is a little, hidden gem. With me being a die-hard Seinfeld fan, I had to get the Black and White Cookie. And it's delicious. They also have an outstanding Florentine Cookie. And it's gluten-free (and I'm not allergic to gluten either), but you wouldn't know it. The staff is also nice. Check it out!

Great little bakery! Lots of good cookies, pastries, cakes and pretty good coffee. I'm a fan of their iced drink which come with coffee ice cubes!!

This rating is based on the only dessert I've gotten there- the chocolate raspberry flourless torte. This is simply a decadent, rich, 10/10 dessert. It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase, so I only have a picture of the half I didn't eat yet. But I'll return and get this same cake again! They also have many other treats, like coconut macaroons, and my husband really liked his black and white cookie. It's right next to Caputos and Pioneer Park, so you can make an afternoon of this experience.

This place has a great variety of delicious pastries, and their coffee and cold brew are great!

Cool little cafe. Ganache brownie was super rich and delicious! Their espresso quality is pretty good. Got a latte with almond milk and was very happy with it. Happy employees all around :)

Chill spot good service. Got a lavender espresso brownie and a latte. It was excellent.

Carlucci's is located next to my favorite SLC shop, Caputo's, and while I've recently found myself there nearly weekly, had not yet managed to make my way in to Carlucci's. This is no doubt due to the myriad sweets and sandwiches available at their neighbor, and while you certainly should always (ALWAYS) stop by Caputo's, Carlucci's deserved some attention prior to now. Ah well, better late than never! It is a smallish space, but they have decent seating available inside, and while the focus appears to be the baked goods, they also offer café-style meals such as sandwiches, salads, and soup. Paired with local Café Ibis coffee and a pleasant sun-streamed interior, I could see this being a nice spot to spend some time working or with friends. Mismatched old-fashioned plates and bowls charmingly displayed the many sweets in the pastry case, ranging from cookies, bars and brownies to tarts, cakes, and pastries, flan, and breads. They even have dog biscuits! I kept it simple and chose a cellophane wrapped slice of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and black and white cookie. The cake was fine, good even, but nothing extraordinary. The cookie was a surprise delight: tender, with firm, but not too hard icing, the chocolate side very rich, the white tinged with a pleasing touch of lemon. Parking in the area is not great, though fine during less popular times. Otherwise, you may have to hunt for a spot along the street and trek a bit. Prices are average. The experience would have been quite positive, save for the lackluster assistance I received from a near surly young woman who did little to hide her dissatisfaction at the injustice of serving me, and my interruption of her snack time. If I had dined in that would have knocked them down to three stars, but as my interaction was limited, I will give them the benefit of the doubt, and hope this was a one-time/bad day sort of situation. TL;DR-Not an amazing bakery, but above average.

absolutely delicious! nice shaded outdoor seating! and the staff was super nice! i also got an iced latte which came with coffee ice cubes which was amazing! reasonable prices as well!

Awesome bakery, great food! Theresa is so kind to everyone. Parking was easy and tables are set up inside and out.

Love this bakery!!! I've ordered cake here for a number of occasions and they're so nice and helpful. Their cake is delicious and always a hot at get togethers. They also add writing if you request it. I'm always coming back when I'm asked to bring a cake to an event and it never disappoints!

We stopped in for breakfast to go before going back home to Nevada. It was our first time in but it won't be our last! All the ladies were extremely friendly and the food was amazing! We had a quiche, yogurt parfait and breakfast burrito. My 1 year old ate the entire quiche she loved it so much!

I'm a horrible person because I didn't love this place. The location is beautiful and I love the feel of it (like you're down town in NYC at a cute Cafe vibe) but the food was mediocre at best. I ordered the focaccia bread, brownie and biscuit cookie to dip in my coffee. The down low is the focaccia tasted old and it was sitting out in a basket (probably dried out) it was also $2 dollars so I personally could have gotten better at Einstein's... But I like supporting locally. Then brownie tasted like a generic brownie and I don't mean to put so much hate...but when coming from a bakery I feel like the food has to have a little more umpf up it's stature. I personally won't come again..but the location and inside was cute.

I love love their fruit tart Always amazing service and I feel welcomed when walk in. This bakery is a gem!

We bought two items, acannelloni and an chocolate almond something. Both were very good and good value. I would return here but bypass the italian sandwich place in the same building which screwed up my order. The sandwich place is all bread and probably gave my order to someone else. This bakery had many selections , got the order right and was delicious.

You just want to buy one of everything! The glass display showcases a bunch of bite sized pastries, petite tarts, sliced cakes, and tea cookies! I ended up grabbing a couple of almond tarts and a petite fruit basket. The almond tart has a hint of the almost paste in it. I'm sure if I warmed it up a bit, it would taste better. The petite fruit basket is to DIE for! The fruit topping, creamy custard and the flaky crust makes this pastry a winner! I also ordered the napoleon and it's very sweet. I prefer gourmandise's version of the napoleon over this one. Overall, I'm coming back again for more of the fruit basket!

I tried the black and white cookie, salted caramel tart, and orange brownie. Out of the three, the salted caramel tart was the best. The black and white cookie lacked flavor (aside from a strong taste of baking powder) and was stale and dry. The orange brownie had a decent orange frosting, but the candied orange peel was hard as glass. You could honestly get a better flavor and texture from a boxed brownie mix.

I was so excited to try this place and than i became disappointed. I tried a mini cupcake, cutest unicorn cookie, and a slice of carrot cake. The cupcake was moist and was ok for being white cake, the frosting however was nasty, tasted like they used old butter. I know what buttercream frosting is made out of but all i could taste was old butter. Nasty. The unicorn cookie was so cute I was expecting to taste rainbows but it tasted like a stale burnt unicorn instead. The carrott cake was the best out of the three, very mild carrot flavor, frosting was good, good chunks of nuts and raisins but the cake was way sugary. Im going to go back and try some coffee or lunch, I faith in this place and I know next time will be better.

The garlic herb and goat cheese sandwich is AMAZING. I hadn't tried Carluccis, but decided to try it out after I had realized I ate at Caputos daily and wanted something new, and now I go there almost daily! They have amazing pastries, all of their salads are delicious (my coworkers love the Cobb salad, but all are great). They have a Lavender Latte that's bomb too, employees are so nice, the atmosphere is super cute...I guess the point I'm trying to get across is that everything here tastes awesome, it's reasonably priced, and I highly recommend!

I've worked near Gateway for years and only recently did I rediscover Carlucci's. I had a few bad lunches from Caputos and I think I had written off this general area for food. However, in the last few months I've eaten at Carlucci's several times and the food has been excellent. They have really tasty flavor combinations and their food is always well prepared. Their last few soups of the day have been savory squashes with the perfect amount of heat. Plus, you can get a legitimately good coffee drink. Not just good coffee for a bakery. The worst part of eating at Carlucci's is surviving the gauntlet that is their bakery case. Everything in their case looks divine and it feels criminal to walk away without a treat. Sometimes I resist and others I cave. My waste line may regret the choice, but my tastebuds never do.

We are in town visiting from NYC and let me tell you that they have The BEST grilled apples, strawberry and brie sandwich EVER!!! Oh and my husband had the breakfast burrito but mine was better LOL The service is great!!

Stopped into Carlucci's on a whim today because I had just browsed Tony Caputo's and decided that I wasn't interested in their sandwiches. I wanted to get a few pastries for me and my son to split, but then decided to try a sandwich as well. The server told me the Turkey Bacon Avocado is probably their most popular, but when I asked about their garlic herb goat cheese sandwich he told me that that one is his favorite and inspired me to try it! I wish I had ordered a whole one because MAN IT IS AMAZING. I'm not a huge tomato fan, but the tomatoes in this sandwich WORK and the whole thing is just fabulous from beginning to end. I will definitely be back to order it again. The pastries we tried (lemon ricotta cookie, florentine cookie, mini amond tart, and the mini fruit tart) were just okay, but that sandwich put this little bakery on the map for me, big time. Moral of the story: leave the pastry; take the sandwich.

This was our go to breakfast spot in Salt Lake. There are quite a few hotels within walking distance which charge $10-20 for their breakfast, but you can walk here and get a fantastic homemade breakfast for $9. Loved the French toast and their pastries. If it's packed then you might have a short wait.

Love Carluccis. Great coffee and baked goods. However, 8:30 is way too late for a coffee shop to open. Y'all's gotta be opening way earlier. Please fix.

Excellent cannoli, hand filled upon order. Not exactly traditional (no pistachio, and chips in the rather sweet filling), yet still delicious and crunchy. Goes great with an iced black coffee :)

Carlucci's is strategically located. You pass it on the way in to Tony Caputo's Market & Deli and also on the way back to your car. Stop and glance through the front door to see what's inside and it's all over. You're compelled to go in. Once inside, your eye's will most likely pop out of their sockets on springs and snap back again, like the cartoon character who sees something truly enticing. It's a wonderful vision, colored by scones, croissants, muffins, gooey sticky buns with pecans, sour cream coffee cake, apple strudel, brownies with walnuts and ganache, lemon bars, eclairs, napoleons, chocolate cake, vanilla bean cheesecake, fresh fruit tarts, almond tarts, carrot cake, chocolate raspberry cake, mocha cake, and Tiramisu. There's even MORE to see, including oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate chip cookies, double-chocolate cookies, sesame cookies, pignoli cookies, rosemary cookies, and Biscotti. And guess what? It's ALL good. Next thing you know you're pointing at confections in the display case like a little kid, asking for "one of these" and "two of those." A few minutes later, you're skipping out the door clutching a little white paper sack, filled with baked goodies that you can't get anywhere else, or make at home ... Carlucci, you knew what you were doing when you found this location!

What's better than each of the goodies in the case at Carlucci's? SAMPLING each of the goodies in the case at Carlucci's, of course! Popped in here for dessert with friends when we were at the Farmer's Market across the street. While we didn't try everything in the case, we did get a couple of items each, put them in the middle of the table, and called it a free-for-all. Not a loser in the bunch. From the ganache brownie, to the cookies (black and whites, as I recall?) and even the lemon bars. All top notch. My favorite pick was what they call Decadence--a flourless chocolate cake. Very rich, so either you love it, or don't. I loved it. Seating is a little tight on Saturday morning, but we still managed to find a table inside for four of us plus a stroller. Tables also available out on the sidewalk. I haven't tried the actual mealtime food, but with so many yummy treats right in my face, I'm not sure I'd have the willpower to say "soup" before saying "sticky buns"!

The food and coffee here is decent, but nothing amazing. I've eaten here once before, then decided to go back again to get a to go order. I asked for a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. That simple sandwich cost me $8! There was barely anything to it! It was a waste of money to go there! Maybe if there were more to the meal, like hash browns, I would pay the $8.

Don't know if they were having an off day, but everything I ordered was bad. I ended up throwing away all of it. The croissant for the Egg and cheese croissant was so burned that it was not edible, and the egg and cheese was poor quality. Did not look anything like the pictures I've seen in the reviews. The olive oil cake had zero flavor and was very mushy. I ordered an almond milk chai and it didn't taste like it had any almond milk, just an over-sweetened, syrupy chai. I asked them to add more almond milk, but it didn't help. Pretty disappointing since the reviews are pretty good.

This cute little European style bakery is so bright and cheery with happy employees. I love their little rosemary cookies or how about a tart lemon cookie. They have delicious sandwiches and herbal teas.

This little bakery has truly never disappointed. The Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich is my go-to. Staff is always extremely friendly and quick to fill orders. The actual desserts are well priced and absolutely tasty.

I tried their cannoli and was not impressed. It made me sick and it didn't taste very good. They seemed more like a deli shop than a bakery which disappointed me since I was looking for tasty treats not a sandwich with a big line to get it. The line does suggest good sandwiches. I was the only person to not get a sandwich and or get anything other than a sandwich.

Yuck is what I have to say about this place. Please Don't ruin a cookie by adding strange herbs to it. My office tried it. We would take votes and we would spit them out. not good at all. No I don't want rosemary and thyme In my cookie. They even screwed up a chocolate chip. So you might ask why the 3 stars? Well their carrot cake was wonderful. Thick dense moist and the frosting was awesome. They redeemed themselves with the cake. But out of trying 6 cookies we spit them all out. No thanks. I would not go back.

I've only tried their pastries, but so far, they've all been delicious and decently priced. I love how their pastries come in mini-sizes, which allowed me and my friend to sample a little bit of everything without going into a diabetic coma. We had their rosemary cookie, (it was like Mexican wedding cookie with rosemary) which was very good. They used quality chocolate for their cupcake, which was moist and not too sweet. Delicious!

We got our wedding cake from here and we couldn't be more happy. Reasonably priced, elegant and most important of all delicious! It was probably the best cake I have ever eaten. The cake was supposed to serve 120 people, we had about 100 but because people went back for seconds it was gone! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!

I'm in SLC attending a conference and stumbled upon this gem of a bakery. Omg. Cute shop, friendly staff, and THE FOOD! Started with a fresh fruit tart and hot chocolate (of course I did). I'm a tart snob - this one was great: crisp shell, fresh fruit, delicious pastry cream. I hung out reading for a while at a nice table by the window and eventually decided to have lunch: a grilled cheese on beautiful, thick bread and coconut spinach soup that was A++. I bought a tiramisu cup to take back to my hotel which I ate tonight - home run. Love this place!!

I love their cannolis and olive oil cupcakes!! I drive 35 minutes each way just for these despite their rude service. I don't know if I do something unorthodox to upset them but they seem to go out of their way to act very put out to be boxing up the pastries I order. 5 stars for deliciousness, 3.5 stars for steep prices, 0 Stars for poor service. *Update: After driving away and sneaking a bite of a cannoli, we were disappointed. The filling was extra soft and the pasty was very hard. Maybe fried too long? The olive oil cupcake is good. My 9 year old daughter held the cannoli sadly and said, "Maybe she meant to give us a bad one because she hated us." I think my years of coming here may have just come to an end.

Took the whole family for coffee and pastries last weekend. The iced lattes were good, the hot a little weak even after adding another shot of espresso. The fruit tarts were excellent, though and carry this review. The service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere cozy but full of character. A real cup for waters and the hot latte came in a mug. Pastries served on dishes with metal forks. One daughter got a mint brownie... don't bother ( all frosting) she was wishing she got the tart too!

I stopped in to Carlucci's with the hope of a good cup of coffee and the ability to get some work done. After the inauspicious lack of greeting or warmth from the two ladies behind the counter I should have listened to my gut and left. But, I ordered my americano and gave a nice tip given I was planning on being there for a couple hours to study. After pulling out my computer and getting set up the staff told me they don't have WiFi. While a bummer I still figured I could plow on with some good coffee and do parts not requiring internet. BUT the americano was too watery and lacked all flavor. I decided to cut my losses, throw out the coffee, and find a coffee shop that wants to earn my loyalty. To be fair their pastries and treats did look good- hence the two stars.

Seriously the BEST!!! I stopped in today and needed a last minute cannoli order. They were out of filling but, the sweet kid working made more and filled my order in less then the 30min he quoted me and they are beautiful and delish! My Daughter is super happy as it was one of her only requests for her sweet 16! Seriously made my day and I'll be a customer for life!

Carlucci's is my Go To lunch and coffee spot right downtown. Last weekend I hired them to cater an event in my home. Our event was successful largely because of the delicious food provided by Therese and her staff. Our guests commented on the unique selection and incredible quality offered. When you host a party I recommend Carlucci's, they made it stress free for us and enjoyable for the guests.

Love the torpedo rolls here!! They make their breads fresh every morning. And I pick a roll up on my way to school...everyday. Their loaves and baguettes and really good too. One of the the best bakeries I've been to.

This place is right next to Bruges. You gotta stop here! The vanilla bean cheesecake with raspberry sauce on top is the best cheesecake I have EVER eaten in my life. The tiny fruit tart was delicious. My husband got a black and white cookie, he said it was ok. But that cheesecake!!! I will definitely be coming back here frequently!!

I bought 30 pieces of cookies and lovely mini tarts for a party. The total price was $38, suitable for small deserts for the guests. I bought Mini fruits tarts, almond tarts, and lemon cookies. These were beautiful, not too sweet, taste great!

Cute restaurant, nice location, but the food isn't great. Terrible soggy breakfast burrito, stuffed with lots of potatoes, hardly any egg, no sausage. The sausage egg and cheese croissant was fine. Probably wouldn't go back.
