Carmel Farmer's Market .. The Amp and I think there're more places you can get them. My all time favorite is Pain aux raisins but everything else is good. I also like their croissants, chocolate chips cookie and French bread. Reviewed after bought their pastry almost 10 times!

I visited your shop on Wednesday December 4,, 2024 at around 2pm. This would've been my third visit since the first week of October. I'm always scan your glass case of goods as I come in, before making my way to Butlers Pizza which is my main objective. Upon leaving I decided to indulge myself with the last two key lime tarts you had and two slices of your triple chocolate cake for my chocoholic wife. You may recall her as she never wants me to get her anything and then we argue about who's paying, as she wants to say my money is no good. LOLMoms the less there were 3-4 older black guys making a small purchase and as they were doing so, I was looking over the counter display near the entry. The young female with large glasses looked at me a couple of times while she was attending the gentlemen, which only one was buying a small item. During this time a white female came up next to me, spoke and she too was looking in the glass case. As the sole worker was ringing the man out and getting him a spork, I stepped up to place my order and she turned from me and immediately went to the female who hadn't been there 5mins to my plus 10mins and proceeded to take her order. I looked in astonishment that I could've been so blatantly ignored, disregarded and dismissed! The worker looked up from the center working table and said "I didn't know you were next." My replay was "I've been standing here for several minutes waiting for you to finish up with these guys. I'm not just standing here for my health." She apologized and I told her that's okay, I won't be buying here again, at least not today." I left out very heated! My attitude and feelings were, she should've stopped and told the lady I had been there before her, which the lady knew this, and told her she would finish her order after she took care of me and worked expeditiously to do so. I know the lady probably didn't spend as much as I planned to spend, which I'm impulsive, but I can clearly say on that day, if she made no more sales that day, she lost a good one! I think it all was done in poor taste and can cause one to think privilege overlooks patronage.Will I return as a customer? Not if this young lady is working the counter.

Circle City Sweets has a popular booth at the Carmel Farmers Market. This is where I had my first one of their amazing croissants. This week I got to the market early so I could talk to the staff about the daily options. They had a wonderful selection of fresh breads, cookies, granola, croissants and more. The clerks are friendly and helpful. I picked up several croissants that were absolute eye candy. These croissants easily rival those I've had in France. My family spilts them, so we can taste each. The ham and cheese savory croissant was buttery and delicious. The croissant melted in my mouth. My favorite was the cherry and pistachio croissant. The cherries were fresh and tart. The edges were perfectly caramelized. The raspberry croissants were huge and a hit with my granddaughters. The ingredients taste high quality. The line is long and check-out is a bit slow. But the clerks make an effort to connect with each guest. You've got to get there early for the best selection. I can't think of a better breakfast on a beautiful morning.

I've walked by this location a number of times, but never stopped until recently, I'm glad I did since they serve one of my favorites, macaroons! I decided to get three different flavors, the birthday cake, raspberry, and the pistachio. They were all delicious! Each flavor was unique and I enjoyed them, very reasonable at $2 bucks a piece! I can't wait to get back and check out more tasty flavors! Service was great as well, very friendly group!

I came one time around 9am on a Wednesday (they open at 7am) and they were already sold out of almond croissants that everyone raves about so I gave up trying to go again until I saw a post they had made extra and jumped right into my car to try them. I was grateful they still had quite a selection and finally got my hands on this almond croissant. Easily the best in the city. All of the reviews are accurate! Order ahead if you need them for something specific

I experienced Circle City Sweets via the winter Carmel Farmers Market. They have a booth there with some of their delicious offerings. Someone on their team posted a photo of a cherry bourbon kringle to their Instagram, and within minutes I was sending my husband over to the farmers market to get one. And we snagged the last one! Me and that cherry bourbon kringle were meant to be.I had never had a kringle before tasting the one that Circle City Sweets made. If you've never had a kringle, it's a dense pastry with icing on top. My kringle had ribbons of bourdon-soaked cherries, but Circle City Sweets also sells five or six other kringle flavors. I'd love to try some of the other things that CCS sells, because I was very happy with my kringle! I think this pastry is only around during Christmas, so if you see it, you should get it.

I visited the AMP on Thursday for lunch and while I was there I stopped at Circle City Sweets. I stopped to look in the window at all their treats and one of the gals that was working behind the counter asked me if I needed anything and she was very helpful and nice. I found that they had macarons in flavors that I had not tried so I got a couple of those to go. The flavors of the macarons were cashew Sriracha lime and the other was apple butter buttercream. As I ate my way through the cashew Sriracha lime macaron you could feel a little bit of heat building and I found it very interesting and a good. I also picked up a loaf of country white bread and they slice it for you for free.On the counter they had a menu of items that they are going to have over the December holiday period and she said that would not be all of them they would be adding more things as time went along. I taught myself to make macarons a couple years ago, it is not easy. The gal that was baking in there had a couple tips for me and I gladly will give them a try. Next time I am in the AMP I we'll stop here again and check out the other macaron flavors as well as the bread selection.

I had a meeting at AMP this morning and I was excited to try new places. The size of the pastries here was insane! I had the chocolate croissant and naively thought I could finish it myself. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. Bring another person or save half for later.I also got a pumpkin shaped sugar cookie to enjoy later. And I did.My group also catered some pastries for our meeting and they were a hit.

Yum! Got a quick mid-day treat while out on a lovely Saturday. My partner and I enjoy a pastry that isn't loaded with sweet. Circle City hit the balance perfectly. Generous amount of golden raisins were hidden throughout the pastry's layers. Large enough to split! Really cool to see the entire kitchen behind you as well, you can tell that quality is put into each treat. Share one!!
