I've stopped in here twice and both times I purchased their Turnovers. It's my favorite baked…read morepastry and it is hard to find places that make them with all three of the necessary ingredients that make that pastry unique. First, the pastry shell has to be crispy and flaky. Second, the filling has to have just the right amount of sweetness. Not too sweet, but not tart either. And third, the most important thing a Turnover should possess, plenty of sugar icing on top. You get all three of these right, you make an outstanding Turnover. Carolena's definitely gets it right. I ride my bike by this bakeshop many times during the week and there have been times, early in the morning, when you can smell them being baked. Turnovers have a very distinctive aroma when they are in an oven. I'm not usually one for Cherry filling because most bakeshops use that generic, overly sweet Maraschino Cherry Pie filling that you find in supermarkets. Carolena's uses a Bing Cherry filling, and it makes a world of difference in taste and appearance when you bite into it. The other Turnover I purchased was Apple and the filling in that one was perfectly sweetened, with just the right amount of Cinnamon. I spoke with one of the owners while I ate my pastries and he told me that all of their offerings are nut free, a rarity in most bakeshops. They are catering to those with nut allergies and that limits their selection of baked goods. He also told me that they are planning to offer more gluten free wares in the future. If you're expecting a wide selection of pastries, this is not the place for you. It's not Borelli's in Coventry or Vienna Bakery in Barrington. It's a small artisan bakeshop. But what they make, they make well.

All of my interactions with him have left a bad taste in my mouth. He is so rude, dismissive and acts like he's doing you a favor by letting him make a cake for you. It sounds like they make delicious cakes here, but I never got the chance to try any. We tried on several occasions to set up a cake tasting appointment and a meeting to go over the cake we ordered. Just giving them a deposit ended up being so difficult--they never answered the phone and half the time their emails were returned to sender. I probably had to call five or six times just to connect with him on his cell to take the deposit. He would email me windows of time to make the call and then he wouldn't even answer. Their store is closed 90% of the time it is listed as being open. We also found out that the cake we ordered is actually being canceled and we got no explaination at all. Patticakes never even contacted us themselves and we only found through other means that they canceled all their orders for the summer. If we hadn't heard through the grapevine, we could've ended up a few weeks away from our event and not had our cake! Hopefully getting my deposit back will be easier than it was trying to pay it. And hopefully another bakery in the area will be available so close to my event. I don't know whats going on with this business, but its terribly run. I'd steer clear of it and find somewhere else to get a quality cake from. Doug will be the first to tell you (because he did) that no cake I get will be better than his. But at least those other cakes will be delivered.

A lot of people…read morementioned them when we had our pizza strip nominations for March Madness, so since I was in the area I made a quick detour for a strip and a zeppole (tis the season, after all) The inside is larger than you expect, with plenty of seating if you wanted to hang out and eat your goodies. I got there around 11am but they still had a wide selection of calzones, pastries and pizza available. The ladies working the counter were very nice and quick as well. Before long I had my pizza strip and zeppole, and was on my way. The pizza strip at first was sweet. Almost too sweet for me, but as I continued, the sweetness faded into balance with the crust and became quite enjoyable. It wasn't long before I polished it off. It is a softer strip, with a good amount of sauce on top. The zeppole was wonderful. The whipped cream was soft and pillowy inside delicate pastry. All of it was light as air and it was a struggle to stop at the hallway mark! But I had to save room for the lunch meeting so I forced myself to quit... For now!
