Kelly's Bakery

Today was my first trip to this cute little space. The breakfast sandwich and cappuccino were really tasty and priced fairly. However, the reason I wanted to leave this review is the staff. they were absolutely wonderful. They asked the right questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. staff that weren’t waiting on us directly were conversing and laughing with us. They bussed our table quickly but didn’t rush us out the door. And best of all, they remembered my name. I found that impressive. Especially since we sat at our table for quite a while. It’s a tiny space and very tight seating but I highly recommend the experience.

We visited Kelly's Bakery twice during a short trip to Poughkeepsie. Both times we ordered our regular lattes, which were perfectly crafted, and indulged in their baked goods. The apple cake was perfectly spiced, the chocolate babka was tender and delicious, and the spiced Chai breakfast roll was full of flavor and AMAZING! They have a very comfortable and cozy dining space with garage door style windows they can open when the weather is good, as well as a few outdoor tables as overflow when the inside tables are full. Everything was very clean and well organized, including both bathrooms. Every employee was kind and welcoming, even during a busy Sunday morning rush. Kelly's Bakery is definitely on my DO NOT MISS list. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did!!

The people here are incredibly sweet and kind. They have a strict no outside food or drink policy that they make very clear. The staff handle anyone disrespecting that with absolute grace. Watched a trio of Karen’s get kicked out because they repeatedly crossed this. Heard the Karens say “wait till you see our yelp review on this place” and stormed off. So I’m here to say that the staff here were super respectful and gave them many warnings. The food was stellar and their flavors for lattes are top tier. Absolutely will be back! Edit: attached photo of Karen/Deborahs Review. I was there and saw it all. Wrote my review before I even left. Had the owner come up to me, gave me a hug, tour of the bakery, and even a loaf of bread to take home. Lesson of the day: stay humble, follow the rules, be kind to service workers, and support small businesses. The good karma will come back to you.

Very delicious bakery! From the toast to the banana bread to the basque cheesecake, everything is really well made. It’s also a very relaxing cafe with open windows.

I’ve been going here often for the past few months Let me tell you rn to whoever is reading, THIS right here bakery is worth every penny you spend Do not be intimidated/mistaken by the plethora of Vegan, Gluten free, and dietary restriction friendly options within the establishment, because they absolutely do not sacrifice quality or taste in order to accommodate to a wider audience. My favorites from here are (in descending order) The basque cheesecake, carrot cake focaccia, almond butter cakes, egg sandwich, and B.A.L.T sandwich. Do not underestimate these culinary divas.
