Cristaudo’s Cafe & Bakery

The BEST bakery around! They do an amazing job with whatever you ask for, it’s affordable, and not to mention delicious.
I’ve ordered multiple birthday cakes there with only about a week’s notice and they’ve been able to accommodate my request. Their butterfluff frosting is great — not cloyingly sweet like some other bakeries frostings… Not to mention, they do a wonderful job decorating their cakes.

We stopped in at Cristaudo’s for a recent chamber of commerce afternoon meeting. The staff was very friendly, and the cookies were simply amazing. With a wide variety of options, I can find something new and delicious every time I go in there. I’m definitely making this place one of my go-​to stops when it comes to sweets.
Great snacks, friendly service, beautiful building. A+ Cristaudo’s!

They catered my wedding this moth with a vegan carrot cake (the husband is allergic to eggs) and an assortment of cupcakes and both we’re fantastic, granted I was so busy I only got to taste the cake during the face smashing and half of a cupcake later in the night while talking to an old friend but both we’re fantastic. When I’m back in town I plan to stop in for a cupcake and hopefully get to eat it that time

I’m in town from Charlotte, NC for some family celebrations and I have to send a BIG thank you to the Cristaudo’s Team for being there for me in a pinch! You answered my after-​hours phone call (who does that???), you offered to search the bakery for a dozen cupcakes for me, and after finding them, you iced them for me (with glitter sprinkles, no less) and then you stuck around and waited for me to arrive to pick them up… nearly two hours after your bakery had closed. No one goes above and beyond like that anymore… all the more reason to support local businesses! You guys ROCK!
Your kindness and cupcakes made the perfect finish to my Grandmother’s 90^th birthday party.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I’ll be sure to stop by before I leave town to pick up some of the famous PINK COOKIES to take with me on the road!

I just drove from Denver, CO to Asheville, NC and took a little detour through Carbondale. I’m a bakery fiend and, without a doubt, Cristaudo’s was the best one I visited. I walked out with a carrot cake bar, an almond croissant, a doughnut, and an Honest Tea drink for under $ 10. That just isn’t fair. Oh and I purchased some zucchini bread, too. Even less fair.
A luxurious inside with great décor and silly gift shop gifts… This place is worth a stop. Wish all bakeries were this awesome.

Also, they only accept cards on orders more than two dollars.
