Family owned and still ran.
They have the best best eclairs ever ever!
They have super affordable prices a lot of memories at this place. They have early 1900s car NOT FOR SALE trust me I asked.
I took the 20 minute drive and it was all worth it!
Best eclairs ever and trust me I’ve had a few several from different places.
I will be back!

Fantastic old school bakery! We loved it! At first it seemed a little odd like you were driving into someone’s backyard, but indeed there’s an actual bakery there…since like 1962 or so.
Pastries were very good, I’ll definitely be back. I should have bought an entire box of their mini cake squares! Prices were good and the guy behind the counter was super helpful!

I have been enjoying the wonderful pastries, rolls, pies and cakes from this fantastic little bakery for 30 years. It is as good today as it was then. There isn’t a better eclair in the state. It breaks my heart that Al is no longer with us but you can still taste the love that he and Bob have always put into every item made within the walls of this nostalgic little gem of a bakery.

Lovely eclairs and creme puffs. Can’t believe I’ve driven by this hidden gem all of these years without trying anything.

You need go no further; this is the right place for eclairs. Other reviews for this location will tell you how amazing their eclairs are – they are 100% correct. Understated, even. We were looking for eclairs for my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday celebration (eclairs are her favorite) and searched from Cache Valley to Utah Valley, sampling far too many mediocre eclairs – some from places that we expected to have very good ones. Our last stop was Carol’s. No need (or option, really) to go further. Their eclairs are an order of magnitude better than the other bakeries’; truly in a class by themselves. Every element is perfect – Choux pastry, filling (Bavarian Cream – not whipped cream!) and chocolate icing. There is even an extra – a small frosting flower on top. These are simply the best. And the bakers are very friendly, too.

What a quaint little hidden Utah gem. Best eclairs I’ve ever had PLUS sugar cookies that melt in your mouth. Even more remarkable that two brothers, in their late 80s/early 90s continue to run and operate it. Very hands on and friendly. I love the alley atmosphere

Downright fantastic family owned bakery and pastry shop!! The sons and grandsons of the original owners that have since passed all help run the place. Added with the fact that their place is open concept and has a lot of history associated with it, (ie, they still have on display their old Model T delivery vans and other memorabilia displayed within which is super neat!). You will not find a better bakery that has served the city and county for as long and as consistently as Carols has. Been there countless times, the eclairs and brownies are amongst the all time favorites! Be sure to check out other reviewers pictures for reference! The location itself can be a little tricky getting to the first time, but it’s well worth it and you’ll definitely understand once you try out why it’s so highly recommended! Support your local business!

Carol’s Pastry Shop is a classic in SLC, esp if you want eclairs. My grandma adored the place, and my mom has carried on the tradition of buying the eclairs/other treats. It’s definitely a small business and has small business vibes, but it has been around for a long time. I personally think the sweets are ok, not amazing or anything, but my mom and others think they’re the best.

I bought a blueberry pie for Father’s Day as a tradition in my family but it has been so hard to find a bakery that makes it. I am so happy I found Carols. That pie was so delicious. I loved it and will be bake for other treats

Great quality products and good prices. The only things I’ve had here that I didn’t love were the cookies and the Apple Pie. The apple pie had a weird topping, I think parmesan?? I’m not real sure. The cookies were dry and crumbly with very basic flavor. Everything else here is amazing though. Best strudel and turnovers i’ve ever found.
