Bakery specializing in carrot cake, muffins, and other baked goods
"A family-owned bakery, Carrot Top Pastries has been in Inwood since 1979. Fun Fact: that's only about a decade after the actor, Scott Thompson, aka, 'Carrot Top' was born. With a name like that, they remain very on brand, specializing in carrot cake and carrot muffins. With seating available and an afternoon special of discounted baked goods, it is the perfect place to people-watch while having a cup of coffee and enjoying a delicious treat. Go in and check out the picture of Harrison Ford and a few other famous people eating at the bakery. They are friendly, uptown-centric, community-centric, and also sell their baked goods to prisons upstate." - Jeanne Henry
"Carrot Top Pastries is a neighborhood bakery that makes some of the best carrot cake we’ve ever had. Unlike many other spots with neon signs on the walls, this bakery has been open since 1979 and the cake slices are taller than your coffee mug. Aside from the incredible desserts, come here to eat diner classics at breakfast, lunch, or dinner." - willa moore, sonal shah, bryan kim, nikko duren, matt tervooren
"Distance from the start: 2.9 miles Bathroom: Yes For a little mid-morning sugar high—necessary on a day like today—try Carrot Top Pastries, a neighborhood bakery on the border of Inwood and Washington Heights that's been making carrot cake in every shape since 1979. There are also non-carrot items like Italian cookies, but stick to their namesake on your first time. We like the mini cakes, because they're shareable and have the perfect balance of not-too-sweet cake and almost-too-sweet cream cheese frosting. They also have coffee, if you're ready for round two." - willa moore
