A bakery with connections. Phenomenal streudel, banana bread, stromboli(Italian calzone). Rick and Jen are down to earth good people. Gluten free options and they are sensitive to my soy allergy!

Completely charming small artisan bakery offering a good number of gluten free options along with traditional cakes, pastries, and breads. We stopped in to sample some cupcakes, they were boldly flavored and had delicious buttery cake with luscious stiff frosting piped on top. Even the black coffee we got was delicious! I think we'll be stopping here on every visit to Narragansett.

We did a gender reveal with cannolis and it was an amazing experience with Carolena’s Bakery! Communicating with them was a breeze, they responded quickly, and they were so accommodating.We let them know ahead of time what we wanted to do and how many cannolis we wanted. We came in and gave the card (the one from the doctors that had the gender) and then left for 15 mins for them to make the filling and fill the cannolis. They filled the inside with the colored filling and then filled the ends with the regular ricotta cream filling so you wouldn’t see the colored cream inside. They took a lot of care and precaution to ensure no hints of colors were visible from the outside.The cannolis were VERY delicious. They were GF (gluten free) and comparable the best cannolis you get in Boston (like Mike’s Pastry).Highly recommended for the delicious cannolis, their fun and welcoming atmosphere, and their great personalities that show that they truly care.Also had their croissant egg and bacon sandwich. It was VERY good as well. Definitely coming back for their extensive pastries selection (many are GF) and great food.Thanks Carolena’s!

Amazing gluten free baked goods!

Went in looking for Christmas cookies and they were quite accommodating putting together a bountiful tray of assorted cookies and biscotti. We had some from Calvitto’s and Carolina’s and much preferred Carolina’s. Will be back.

A friend told me this bakery was good. I walked in and bought a large variety of items on display. All were EXTRAORDINARY! Absolutely delicious! Everything was beautifully made, impeccably fresh, and crafted of high-quality ingredients. What a pleasure to know such delicious treats are reliably available nearby!

We got an assortment of treats including turnovers, cupcakes and muffins. All were delicious. They also have savory stomboli as well as Gluten Free and vegan options!

Very nice people working there & very clean space. Not a huge selection, but enough. The giant chocolate chip cookie, croissant, cinnamon bun and lemon scone-type thing were all very good but what stood out was the sunflower butter bar.I'd return if I'm ever in the area again. And I surely will be as Narragansett beaches are to die for!
I've stopped in here twice and both times I purchased their Turnovers. It's my favorite baked pastry 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.

I ordered a cake for my birthday and it was beautiful; however, it was so sweet that we couldn’t eat ? I don’t like to write bad reviews but to who has sugar problems make sure you tell them. I am thankful they made my cake in short notice. I also has a pepperoni pastry that was good.
