Carroll's Bakery 416 Grand Avenue, Spencer, IA 51301

"Iconic & will truly be missed when they retire in January 2024. We truly pray someone decides to purchase and carry on this amazing place!"

"We've been coming to the lakes area for years, but just discovered this place. We've come almost daily, tried almost everything (still have some to go), and OMG - everything is delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful. The only suggestion I have is that they really need to rename the raisin bread and call it the "World's Best Raisin Bread". Toast it with butter, and you're in heaven. Thank you for all the hard work you do to provide quality products!"

"Oh my goodness. So glad that we found this place! Went there this morning and the owner was fabulous so friendly and helpful. The pastries were unbelievably good worth the drive into town from our campsite. I would highly recommend that she has some thing for everyone. Cannot wait to try are bacon quiche for breakfast tomorrow."

"Same owners and same great building I remember when I was little growing up in Spencer. Brought my kids in for breakfast after an appointment and they were blown away by all the picks of delicious options. They ended up wanting six doughnuts for the three of them and they each exclaimed how amazing they were. The owners were amazing with all the customers (I'm assuming quite a few regulars from the looks of it.) They have great options for everything and are so helpful. Definitely great food. I had the quiche and even though the bottom was doughy (or wet from the veggies) the taste was amazing and I was fine with it. Can't wait to come back again some time soon and have good food and a quaint little seating area."

"Did a SUPER job on Anchor cupcake-cake for sisters BridalShower. Last Sail Before the Veil theme. Highly recommend!"
