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.

Rhode Island, Wakefield: "We start with sourdough, we finish with love" tag line on their website…read moreclearly shines through at this family owned bakery! What a gem!! Amazing coffee and baked goods served by genuinely amazing people. An excellent experience... no surprise to overhear them chatting away with their "regulars" who seemed to be there (I laughed when I overheard someone ordering something different than their "usual order"). Charming interior, with space to eat on site. Over two visits in 2 days, I had their morning bun (OMG), spinach feta croissant and pain au chocolate... cannot wait to go back on my next trip to RI (or better yet, please open in NYC ). I think everything was $5.85/each.

We ordered a dozen assorted doughnuts and a Donut Cake…read more Since we have had Allie's Donut Cakes for several years on many occasions, we held RI Guys to a high standard. Donut Cake --four stars Donuts --3.5 stars but Boston Cream was 5 stars Donut Cakes-- The RI Guys Donut Cake is a simple donut shape; whereas, Allie's offers decorated custom cakes when ordered in advance. Taste: More dense texture donut cake than Allie's. We prefer Allie's. Doughnuts: Individual donuts are similar. Frosting is thicker on RI Guys donuts if that is what you like. We like the donut cake better than the donuts. Value: A medium size RI Donut Cake is $14.99. An X-Large custom Allie's cake is $35. and I believe worth the cost. Allie's only accepts cash which annoys a few customers. Availability: RI ones can be bought at any time the store is open. Allie's must be ordered ahead. RI Guys are even available at the local Dave's Market. Both bakeries have their loyal customers. We are Camp Allie's, but think RI Guys are good.

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.
