Kind of pricey for so-so food

by LivLee

I didn't think there was anything special about the food. It's not bad but it's not worth the price or the "hype." I don't think the cupcakes were really special - nothing that you couldn't get at a grocery store bakery. The staff was fairly friendly and the atmosphere seemed nice enough. I do like that they have some choices on the menu that seem fairly healthy (or at least give you a fair shot at making healthier choices!) I won't turn down a meal there but I won't go out of my way to visit, either.

• Pros: good selection, tasty coffee
• Cons: food was just average

Horrible brunch-Great Cupcakes!

by weluv2eat247

This place is overrated, the food is bland, over or undercooked and definitely overpriced, but the kids love the cupcakes and I finally tried and and they are good! Great cake, great icing, not too sweet, but definitely sweet tooth satisfying.

• Pros: The CUPCAKES
• Cons: everything else, especially the price

Sunday brunch (food) is awful!

by fireplace05

We really don?t understand why this place got high reviews on ?City Search?.

The ?Carolina Bakery? reminded us of a cafeteria with a modern theme and the food absolutely had No Taste. We spent over $16.00 on brunch that was cold couldn?t finish because it was awful! (Country brunch and French toast with ham and cheddar cheese.) We were so dissatisfied we left and went somewhere else. I have lived in Raleigh for more than 30 years and have never been to a restaurant like this and been this dissatisfied.

The ?Carolina Bakery? management also might have their help not clean the windows when people are eating! I sure there is other times during the day it could be done.

Don?t believe ?City Search? raving reviews!

• Pros: None that I could see
• Cons: Brunch is awlful!
