Holy Cannoli! Cake Boss Coming to Orlando

Carlo’s Bakery is following in our New Jersey to Florida footsteps this summer. 

Though the original remains in Hoboken, Carlo’s Bakery has already expanded to eleven other locations in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Nevada and Pennsylvania. The twelfth and newest sweet spot will be located in southwest Orlando at The Florida Mall.

Carlo’s Bakery, which was made famous by TLC’s show “Cake Boss,” is one of 27 shops and eateries planned for a new Dining Pavilion debuting at The Florida Mall this summer. 

“Cake Boss” star and Carlo’s owner, Buddy Valastro and his family have attended grand openings in other locations, so it’s possible that he will make an appearance for the The Florida Mall location though it has not been announced at this time.

The 105,000 square-foot Dining Pavilion features unique dining options, additional retailers and an expanded seating area, creating a dining and shopping experience focused on comfort and convenience.

The new retailers and restaurants will open in phases throughout the summer. Boasting more than 1,400 indoor and outdoor seats, the Dining Pavilion has a contemporary feel, featuring bright floors and millwork, in addition to numerous amenities such as a large seating lounge featuring 85-inch TVs, LED lighting, expansive restrooms and two family rooms, new way-finding signage, enhanced Wi-Fi throughout the mall, and outlets with USB connectivity.
Guests will find a redesigned exterior entrance at the front of the space, which will better accommodate customer flow into The Florida Mall and the pavilion.

Located between American Girl and Dillard’s on the north side of the mall, the Dining Pavilion offers a total of 23 restaurants, five of which are new-to-market concepts, including
El Meson Sandwiches (a Puerto Rican fast food sandwich chain) ,
CARVERA Argentinian Grill,
Carlo’s Bakery,
a Madeleine
and Bubbleology.

The additional restaurants to join the Dining Pavilion include:
• Tobu

• Five Guys Burger and Fries (this location will have their new milkshakes!)

• Charley’s Philly Steaks

• Dumpling and Noodle Bar

• Chicken Now

• A&W All American Food

• Asian Chao, Sbarro

• Taco Bell

• Häagen-Dazs

• Nature’s Table (wraps, smoothies and more) 

• FRESH – Healthy Café (fresh juices, paninis, salads and more)

• Jamba Juice

In addition to new dining options, the Dining Pavilion will also feature five new retailers, including Morana, SportsAction, Ron Jon Surf Shop, Yankee Candle, GNC and Delores Jewelers.
Beginning this summer, the current food court and adjacent mall concourse will be renovated and redeveloped to accommodate additional retailers.
This phase of the renovation will add a new entrance, upgraded flooring, a customer seating lounge and new LED lighting.
