If you have ever watched the show, Cake Boss, then you have seen the delicious pastries that Carlos Bakery makes. The hardest part was choosing what to get. We took a short ride from NYC over to Hoboken, New Jersey on Thanksgiving week. It's about two blocks away from the station passing several really cute shops to stop at along the way.
To my surprise the place wasn't too busy. I saw on tv how long the lines here everyday, but fortunately, we were able to order as soon as we walked in. We just didn't have a place to sit inside since the small bakery only holds a few tables for dining in. Some people were even standing around, waiting for a table to open up. So, I recommend checking this place out early if you can.

| Holly Cannoli! - they taste good as they look. |
We took home some (regular and chocolate) Connoli's it was good but a bit pricey $5 per piece.
Overall, if you're in the area and are a fan Cake Boss - stop on by to Hoboken it is a cute neighborhood. Take a picture of the store front and see if you can meet Buddy on your trip!
I've always been a fan of Cake Boss and I'd love to visit Carlo's Bake Shop! It would be so difficult choosing which pastry to get since they all look delicious. I'd love to visit one day! Yum!
