“ Their pastries are buttery, flaky, fluffy, not over the top sweet, and just delectable!! Favorites are croissants and palmiers. Always get the matcha latte as well which is perfectly made. Friendly staff. Get here early. Worth the wait. Trendy hipster vibe - I feel like I'm in Brooklyn or Portland. ”

“ Best croissants and baguettes in Dutchess County. But go there early as they always run out. ”

“ This is my favorite place in the Hudson Valley. Their staff is great, they have the best croissant , sour dough and coffee. Their egg sandwich is great and I just had their apple pear pie which was loaded with fruits. I visit this place Wednesday through Sunday because those are the only day they are open. My family looks forward to their bake goods specifically their monkey bread. Is a small place but great to grab breakfast at, great ambiance. ”

“ The is absolutely the best breakfast and pastries you will have in Poughkeepsie! We were visiting for a friend's wedding and wanted to get breakfast in the morning and try the walkway over the Hudson. We started with a slice of buttered almond cake and pumpkin cake. Both were super moist, flavorful and delicious. We also had two medium, hot caramel lattes and the Kelley's egg sandwich. The roll was soft and fluffy, the egg was cooked perfectly, topped with caramelized onions and comes piled with Gruyère cheese. You can also top it with crispy thick cut bacon or chicken sausage. I highly recommend trying the breakfast sandwich! ”

“ Very cute place and the staff are friendly and helpful. The line tends to go out the door on busy weekends, but the staff helps you find a table if there is one. There are also tables outside as well as a few benches. Food was good and coffees were good too. ”

“ Kellys bakery is great, Great cakes Great bread Great atmosphere Even greater people ”

“ I have been trying to get to Kelly's bakery for months now and I'm glad I finally made it. It's a Saturday, late morning on a beautiful sunny day and the line is out the door and down the ramp. A very good sign! The wait was not that long as they are hustling inside trying to get everyone taken care of. We ordered hot cardamom lattes and they are so incredibly delicious that I wished I'd ordered a large. I got Kelly's egg sandwich. Nice and hot with yummy melted cheese, caramelized onions, a yolky egg and extra for avocado. For me the brioche bun was too thick although the bread is good. Also wish it had more onions and the avocado was a small smear. It was good but I would probably not order again. The BALT (BLT with avocado) was the sandwich to beat. A nice crusty, toasted bread with delicious bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato. I wish I had gotten this for myself! Haha. The pastry was also very good. Again those lattes were the bomb!!! ”

“ THIS PLACE IS TOP KNOTCH! Omg everything was scrumptious, ESPECIALLY the cheesecake. Our family said it was the best we've ever had. The decor was awesome and the staff was so nice. One of them saw me pull up a third chair that was too low to sit at a two seater table and insisted I get up while he brought me the right size chair. We got in line like three separate times because we just kept ordering. They had Matinellis apple juice too! ”

“ No offense, but I had rather little expectation. But this is a real gem. The staff are really nice and they explain literally anything. The store is very unique layout and it makes me wonder how it would look in the summer. The food and drink was very solid. They really know how to bake. It seems, the owner really puts a lot of effort in making the baked goods, and it really shows. Extremely impressive. ”

“ We were in Poughkeepsie for one night and decided to stop at Kelly's Bakery for breakfast to start the day. We were promptly greeted by one of the staff who took the time to summarize the menu since we said it was our first time there. I got the avocado toast, which was so buttery and fresh with the sliced vegetables, and the toast itself was very warm and chewy. The lavender latte, which was very smooth, had a good ratio of steamed milk to espresso. Both were very refreshing and warmed me up as it was about 20F outside. I enjoyed the warm ambiance of this cafe. The coziness made me not want to go back outside in the cold weather. It's a place where if I lived in the area I could see myself coming here often. Before we left, I bought some pastries to go to snack on for later. I picked up a croissant, scone, earl gray cinnamon roll and sesame cookie, in which the latter two really piqued my interest because I love the flavor of earl gray tea and sesame. The croissant and scone were solid - the former crunchy yet soft, and the latter not too dry. The cinnamon roll was very strong because of the earl grey tea, and there was also a bit too much sugar on top because it was very sweet. Still an interesting concept, nonetheless. Five stars for being a hallmark to all the qualities of a great cafe - warm service, hot coffee and fresh food. ”
