Tiramisú
We visited Carrara's as everyone in our building kept encouraging us to because they are "so amazing"! So we had too! We dove right in and got a sampler of pastries: tiramisu, trilogia, strawberry cheesecake and the little doughnut balls. And they were all such great choices! Our fav was the tiramisu! Such'a classic Italian dessert and it didn't fail! We also tried their gelato options which were sweet and hot the spot! We can't wait to try more on our next visit!
Hamachi
I crave for this 3x week! So fresh.
Croccantino
I wanted to find something new and exciting for my daughter's birthday and I found it at Carrara's! I'm very excited that this beautiful bakery has just opened in Pasadena. I couldn't just get a a gorgeous cake (which I did, an amazing yogurt wildberry confection) — I had to get nearly a half dozen delectable pastries as well, many of which were mini versions of the larger cakes they have for sale...which, no doubt, I will be back to purchase. How can I not? In classic Italian form, my favorite flavors (hazelnut, almond, espresso, limoncello, dark chocolate) abound. Of course, while I was there, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a latte, too, infused with — what else?? — a delicate hazelnut syrup. It too, was amazing, the quality of the espresso (made from their own roasted beans) top rate. My next visit will definitely include a pint of their gelato. (The sample flavor I had, the "Carrara," tasted like it had rum in it. Yum!) I also took note of the guy and gal behind the counter, who were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Way to impress a new customer! Can you tell I love this place? I have found my new favorite bakery. Welcome to Pasadena, Carrara's!
Blueberry Cheesecake
Tasty treats and great coffee! Visited the other day and I'm so happy that I did. I will definitely return. Great customer service!
Yogurt Wildberry
I got this cake for a birthday and, as always, it was a hit! The cake was light and fresh which was perfect during the current heat wave. Also, the presentation was gorgeous (even the box!)
Tiramisú
The tiramisu at Carrara Bakery is my husband and I's absolute favorite cake in the world. I am Italian and I will never eat a different tiramisu. Love love love this bakery!!
Frittelle
Best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time.
Gnocchi Pesto
Was just perfect!!! Flavor, texture. Can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Velina
Right balance between chocolate and hazelnuts.
Fettuccine Alfredo
Particularly great if you enjoy a very cheesy flavor. I liked how the noodles were cooked. Right amount of sauce. It held up after being microwaved.
Rigatoni Bolognese
AMAZING!! Hits the spot 💯
Bigné
The Bigne's are Absolutely delicious. Also a big hit when you bring a variety of the desserts to a party!
Golosa
Tasted great. Very cool to look at.
Yogurt Wildberry
This is the cake our family like the best, all ages!!! It has the smooth taste and goes well with afternoon coffee or tea.
Frittelle
So good!!!! Something new for me and so delicious!!!
Cannoli
I live out of town, but every time I drive through I stop here and load up on pastries and desserts. Everything I have tried there I have loved. I also love the coffee. I've purchased the coffee beans and the coffee is just amazing. I look forward to being able to travel again to make a special stop there.
Panino con Pollo
Great meal, very large and satisfying. Add sweet potato fries for the perfect lunch.
Gnocchi Pesto
Every single item I've had at Carrara's has been magical, no exaggeration. Best gnocchi I've ever had; tender and delicious. All sandwiches are incredible! My favorite is the tuna sandwich. Breakfast is phenomenal... the ONLY avocado toast worth eating! I also have a dairy allergy and they've accommodated me every single time to the point of making me my very own vegan tart when none were available at the moment. Food is sensational, coffee is remarkable and the humans that work there go above and beyond. Forever my favorite place!
Insalata di Salmone
Love this place !!! They have the best salmon salad and the best pastries. But my favorite is their gelato. !!!!!
Torta della Nonna
Carrara has the best Italian pastries in Southern California- hands-down! And their coffee is beyond heavenly. Carrara brings more than a little bit of Italy to the Pacific Coast.
Bigné
The Zabaione bigné is one of my favorite treats, it is a light yet not too sweet treat after lunch or dinner. I was introduced to bignés at the Agoura Hills location, now all of Carrara's goodies can be enjoyed in ny backyard
Tiramisú
I've had Tiramisu in Italy and this is by far the best Tiramisu in US. We drove 45 min. every time I craved sweet. Thank God for Pasadena location, now I'll enjoy that often.
Yogurt Mousse
It was soooo delicious! I am in love with all the pastires! I've been there almost everyday since they opened. I'm so happy they opened in Pasadena!
Crostatine di Frutta
My favorite dessert!
Sfogliatelle
Since my childhood, these have always been my favorite. My childhood pastry shop is gone, sadly. Carrara's has the sfogliatelle like I remember! So creamy inside and crunchy outside! Once I found out they made these, I looked no further !
Frittura Mista
A perfect appetizer! The coating lo light and crispy, and the mix is just fantastically yummy! A must before indulging in the rest of the great dishes at Carrara!
Rum Babá
My favorite pastry.....
Lemon
By far the BEST cake I've ever had. My family orders the lemon cake for each of our graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations - and we have been doing this for years. The sponge cake is light and fluffy, and soaked with lemony goodness, making it ridiculously moist for every bite. The coconut is such a wonderful touch and pairs so well with the lemony taste. You will not regret buying this cake. Truly one of the best things on the menu (which is also full of winners - you can't go wrong with any of the cakes or pastries or gelato flavors!).
Trilogia [GF]
Gold flakes were a cool touch. Love the structure of the dessert. Very chocolatey.
Charcuterie
The best lunch I've had in a long time. Wow. Super amazed. No wonder they are always busy. Love them. Definitely going back this week.
Rigatoni Bolognese
Ah-mazing!
Bigné
The Bigne's are Absolutely delicious. Also a big hit when you bring a variety of the desserts to a party!
Mushroom Risotto
Delicious. Very flavorful. Cooked throughly. A mushroom in every bite.
Calamarata Vegetariana
So refreshing and yet savory! The vegetables were cooked well, with a nice bite and light crunch, and the pasta was perfectly soft/chewy. Divine! I took myself out to lunch and ate it on the patio, felt like quite a treat to myself on these long days! A lovely summer meal, would wholeheartedly recommend.
Fettuccine Alfredo
The best fettuccine I've had in a long time! I also had the house salad & caprese which was amazing! I highly recommend this deli. Oh! & the pastries!!
Meatball Toscano
Amazing meatballs, tomato sauce was delicious, thick, and I want more. Friends had the chicken Marsala and vegetables. Really good!!!! I've already recommended your restaurant to many and look forward to our next meal at Carraras.
Blueberry Cheesecake
Best cakes in the Los Angeles area
Tiramisú
It is impossible to pick a favorite really. Every birthday, every anniversary has been celebrated with a Carrara cake. This 7th it was the cheesecake!. They are all simply magnificent
Peach and Mango
Taste so good...
Chicken Quinoa Salad
This salad is my absolute favorite!! It's fresh and it has the right amount of chicken, avocado, quinoa and greens!!!
