Carol's Pastry Shop — Restaurant in Salt Lake City

I don’t think 5 stars is enough for this place. Let me set the scene for you:

One of my bosses ordered 4 dozen tarts from this bakery to be picked up on Wednesday. Today, what I thought was Thursday, I thought I had forgotten to pick up the order the day before and I would have to beg for my bosses forgiveness. I was deep within the phases of panic when I pulled up to the bakery (only after I passed it like 3 times —they’re a wee bit hidden and I was not paying attention) just praying that another coworker had picked up the order. Turns out it WAS Wednesday. I had showed up the correct day… but almost an hour early. The lovely workers still got everything ready so fast, offered me a pastry while I waited, and even helped carry it all to my car. I’ve never met more genuinely kind people than those two. I apologize to the bakery folks for having to deal with my completely strung-out self, and thank you for being so lovely hand helpful. Also the pastries were fantastic and so...

I've lived in Salt Lake City all my life. I cant believe I never knew about this place. I used to buy eclairs when I would go to groves market and buy a sandwich. I went there about two weeks ago to buy some eclairs and I asked the owner where do you get these from? He said Carol's in Sugar House. I looked it up and wasn't sure where the address was. Then I saw it by accident while doing my midnight run to mcdees in sugarhouse.

As I finally went there, didnt know they have parking if you turn into an ally. I parked by the Church in front and walked filled the signs. I was amazed. As I approached the door I saw two lady's in there. I decide to wait outside just to keep social distance. As I got in I was in awe of the place. It is as if your going back in time. "Back in the good ol days." I got the Mexican wedding cookies, and guess what, price is 60 cents each. Then I got the eclairs guess what again? 1.00$. Not only is the price way affordable, but the...

First time ever, I used to live in Sugarhouse and was not even aware this existed. But oh my gosh, I discovered it and was worth driving from Midvale for this. I love the old school non pretentious vibe. The owners as a testament are still baking, the original neon sign is working, and there is relics of the close to 80 years it has been in business, hheck the display cases are from that time frame. Service fantastic smile and appreciative, and very good just great pastries. You. feel valued. These are the businesses that should get recognition those that have been a fabric for decades, not some chain, franchise, or corporation. Compare these to a chain, or a corporation and Carols Pastry blows them out of the water. I am going to make a weekly trip from Midvalej to go to Carols weekly. I wish Midvale had a treasure like this but all we have is sterile chains, and franchises, and a Walmart and Smiths, sterile and bland as it...
