Review - Bakery - Carlock's Bakery (Los Osos)


I finally got in to visit Carlock's Bakery in Los Osos and purchased a grab-bag of items to test out. My favorite was the maple thumbprint cookie (at 1:00 in the picture). I will definitely return for those if I am in the neighborhood. This family-owned bakery is always crowded and people visit when they come to town. There is a great bookstore next door, which is why I was there to begin with, and I will return there as well.

Follow-up: I heard that this bakery is no longer owned by the Carlock family, and that the last time someone visited they were served by a whole new batch of people. I hope they can match the success of the Carlock family, especially since I believe they will be keeping the name. Today I went by and, indeed, there was a whole new batch of folks working there. I ordered my favorite, the maple thumbprint cookie, and it was good. The cookie seemed a bit less crisp than in the past, but it tasted good. There were several people there, and they all seemed happy with the service and quality of the items they ordered. I hope the quality will continue, especially because I saw a listing for a baker in Los Osos on Craigslist today!!
