| - I want to like this place, really I do. But I just haven't found a reason to. I have been here several times, both at their 7th Ave site and now at their new location, each time I have found it to be lacking. Last weekend I stopped in for a variety of goods, I chose a vanilla cupcake, cookies, cheese danish, almond crescents and some bread. I found the cupcake to be fairly moist inside but it sorely lacked any flavor. As for the icing, it was plain horrible, who uses lard in their icing anymore, it was dense, heavy and very greasy, and it to, lacked any sort of flavor, I ended up throwing it away. The cookies were "okay" nothing special. The bread tasted day old, not what I would expect from a bakery, the cheese danish was good. The almond crescents were to small for the price and to hard. This morning I resisted the urge (my mistake) to go to Rainbow donuts and thought I would give Karls another try, again a mistake. I don't think as far as donuts go, that they really have that big of selection, not for a bakery. And don't even get me started on the Cronuts, or should I say their version of the Cronut, what an absolute joke. I can't believe they are passing these off as a Cronut's, Karl you should be ashamed of yourself, nothing at all like the real thing.
I'm not sure where some of these reviews are coming from, this certainly isn't a "to die for" bakery or a place that offers the best in town. I think people like the idea of a family owned bakery and want something so bad, that they will accept anything different from a store brand, even this. My advice, skip it, you're not missing anything.
