If I could give more stars I would.
My wife and I have had nothing but an excellent experience here. We stopped in to check them out one afternoon. Usually they are closed by the time we get to Spencer. Now we know why.
The sandwich wraps were absolutely delicious. The flakey, buttery, croissant like breading was amazing.
We ended up trying multiple different pastries. There was nothing that we tried that disappointed.
The customer service was more then friendly and helpful.
I can’t wait to take some samples to our family in Arizona.

I came in to buy fresh bread at 630 am. The woman who helped me was super nice and very informative. They dont slice the bread until 8 am so I bought an uncut loaf. If was hot when I got it and the woman showed me how to keep my bread from getting soggy. I used it to make a sandwich later. Really good. Better than the grocery store. They also had many other treats and sandwiches. Everything looked delicious.

We stop here every morning we are in Spencer . This morning we had some Danish pastries and coffee. The pastries were great and so was the coffee. I would stop here just for the cappucino coffee. On the way out, we picked up a dozen assorted cookies and a loaf of cinnamon rolls. If you appreciate a real old-time independent bakery, be sure and stop here some morning. The owners are wonderful too!

I love Carroll's. Always have and always will. While the elimination of the lunch menu is quite sad, I'll still happily stop in often for a peanut butter nut cluster with chocolate.
Carroll's sells the second best doughnut I've ever experienced and I'm not sure I can celebrate an event in Spencer without some cake. Bailey's cake is a family favorite.
This bakery is cute, friendly, homey and perfectly small town. They make ordering for delivery pretty easy, too!

Went to Carroll's this weekend for a wedding cake tasting. It was very fun and informative!! We didn't know what we wanted, but we were made to feel at ease. She knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable, confident and aware. She pulled our likes and dislikes together and helped design a cake perfect for us. What an amazing experience!!!!

I stopped by again this year and came out with a most delicious maple/pecan bar that served me well for the following morning's breakfast. The guy at the counter was also funny as we joked about how this pastry was fat, cholesterol, and calorie free! That's because they stuck toothpicks in to evaporate all that out....Also, if you eat any of other tasty wares from Carroll's Bakery in the dark, it really didn't happen.

Everything I tried was wonderful. the staff treat you like family ( family they like! ). The doughnuts are the best, I grew up in the south and used to love Krispy Kreme's doughnuts, these beat em, hands down. You need to try this place. Only downfalls are the hours, most times I am in the mood for sweets they are closed.
