Walk in the doors of the Carlisle Bakery and you can't miss O'Malley. He's the playful chef mascot greeting customers outside of the new bakery at 35 S. Hanover St. in Carlisle.

It opened two weeks ago at the former Vanilla Bean Bakery.

The new bakery covers all of the bases from wedding cakes by order to whoopie pies, sticky buns, pies, tortes, cake pops, cupcakes, cheesecakes and homemade breads. They even sell homemade dog treats for Fido.

Owners are John and Nadeen Bogonis. They own the building, and after several months of looking for a tenant they decided to open a bakery.

They’ve brought on board several bakers including Amber Clay, Mandy Forester and Jeff Durham.

A signature item is the Pasta Bread made with onions, cream cheese and poppy seeds for $2.85 for a small loaf and $4.85 for a large.

Customers also can take a seat to enjoy a treat or a soup in a bread bowl and salad combination for $4.99. Soups change daily and include chili, tomato basil, potato or chicken tortilla.

It’s open 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday. It is closed Sunday. Phone is 717-462-4160.
