I went here this weekend with a friend and my 8 month old son for lunch. There was a few people on line and I was holding my son so we went to go sit for second while one of us was going to go stand on line. While about to sit down while holding him, a red hair man told me I was not allowed to sit down because the customers on line had first rights. I understand it’s a small place with limiting seating but there were more seats open then there were people on line and I was holding a baby with all of his stuff. I was taken back by how inconsiderate they were so we got up and said no problem and left.

Kelly’s always has great food/drinks! However the service was quite disappointing today. The older gentleman behind the counter was clearly annoyed and curt as he took our order and rang us up. Then when we found a place to sit, he followed us over and became quite rude about us moving a chair. It made the experience uncomfortable to say the least. So unfortunate, as I usually love Kelly’s and most of the employees (owner, barista) are very friendly, but I have now had multiple similar encounters with this same employee.

The parma cotto and gruyere croissant made my eyes roll back and the Tonka bean latte gave me will to live that I've been searching for.

A great bakery and cafe - I come for my bread with a variety of choices, and love the sweet treats. Today I had a tasty mushroom toast for breakfast. Try it!

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!!

I stopped by Kelly’s earlier this week while passing through town, and to my surprise—and delight—they were featuring a caramel crack pie. It’s a dish I helped develop nearly fifteen years ago as part of the opening team at Chef Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar. The recreation was so spot-on that it instantly transported me back to those early days—same texture, same sweetness, same little spark of mischief that made the dessert famous. Huge thanks to the Kelly’s team for nailing it so perfectly.

My absolute favorite bakery cafe in Dutchess County. The atmosphere is comfortable and fun. The pastries and breads (banana bread!) are delicious and beautiful. They make authentic flaky croissants and a variety of country loaves that I’m always happy to serve to friends. The coffee is great and the owners and employees are uniformly friendly, kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
Kelly's is one of my favorite bakeries in the area. Their croissants & baguettes are unbelievably delicious and well crafted. I don't often get a chance to stay and eat but when I do, their B.A.L.T. is my favorite.
Kevin & Darrin put a lot of love and dedication into Kelly's and if you think otherwise, you're mistaken.

I was taking my goddaughter to breakfast with my daughter and encountered rude behavior from the start My goddaughter is a vegan and asked for a side of fruit, was told can’t do She asked for a few blueberries on her avocado toast, was told can’t do We then sat at a table of two, all the tables are for two and brought a chair over for my daughter While she was eating, an employee told her to get up, took the chair and told her to sit on a piece of furniture you put a plant on Mind you, there were empty tables and chairs in the restaurant Then we were approached by three different employees for my goddaughter to put her Owala bottle away; she had water and medication in there The employees went out of their way to make it a very uncomfortable dining experience We have travelled all over the world and never endured such rude people Save your money and time and avoid Kelly’s bakery!!

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.

Black Hair with grey root in my mushroom toast which is absolutely gross… melting gruyere cheese onto bread and calling it different kinds of toasts and sandwiches is not cooking. If your looking for watered down tea and hair in your food Kelly’s is the place for you
