We haven't been to Carter & Co in a few years, but we decided to pop-in on a recent trip downtown. As with our last visit, we were a bit underwhelmed. The ham and Swiss stuffed brioche we chose was decent, though the bread to filling ratio was not quite right. And the key lime tart we purchased (based on a staff's recommendation) had a bit of a strange texture and flavor profile. The cookie we ordered was quite tasty, so that was a highlight.
This was the first time we opted to sit inside the establishment to eat our treats, and we found the interior a bit dark and drab, definitely in desperate need of some refreshing (as with most businesses in the downtown corridor).
We really want to like this spot, as it is obvious the owner is very passionate about his business, but we've yet to be wowed. Maybe next time?
