Reviews of Kelly's Bake Shoppe (Bakery)

Our absolute favorite weekly stop for baked goods. We always get the same items: Morning Glory Muffin, High Mile Brownie and Snickerdoodle sandwich. Always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. Vibe is always kind and positive. Thank you ????

I think sometimes heaven sends down their baking secrets, because Kelly's Bake Shoppe has taste like none other. Thank you for the great work and service you provide the community!

Kelly’s Bake Shoppe rocks big time. Just for the fact that they stay open with all the chaos going in Ottawa and supporting our freedom fighters. I bow to them! Much love! ????

We got lemon poppy seed loaf, cupcake filled up with caramel sauce, nanimo, snickerdoodle cookie. Caramel cupcake anf lemon poppy seed loaf were great and delicious, however snickerdoodle cookie wasn’t that good for my taste and nanimo was too heavy, if you sre looking for sth light, lemon poppy seed loaf might be your option!

Kelly's bakery has some wonderful products. If you have special dietary needs - and even if you don't - you are bound to find something delicious there. Weirdly one of my favourite things they have is their Nanaimo bars - and I don't usually even like Nanaimo bars as I usually find them too sickeningly sweet. While they are still quite sweet somehow they are uber delicious. I also love the muffins and cupcakes. I have *acutely* sensitive taste buds and unfortunately I can taste the bean flour in most of the cookies - the recent double chocolate cookie sandwiches I found delicious, however. This is clearly something unique to me as most people love Kelly's cookies as well, including my own family members - the chocolate chip cookie sandwich is my fiancé's favourite item. I don't taste beans in the other products for the most part, mainly the cookies. I have only tried one of the ice creams - the Nanaimo bar one! - but it was completely delicious as well! I am not local to Burlington but whenever I am in the area or passing through I try to make a detour to Kelly's Bake Shoppe. I have recently discovered that they do deliver to my town though and that has been dangerous LOL

As a vegan, my honest opinion of Kelly’s Bake Shoppe: overrated and overpriced. I’ve had way better vegan cupcakes, these ones are always too dense instead of light and fluffy, which often happens with gluten-free baking. Everything is …

After living in Seattle for a number of years AKA the land of most living gluten free vegans, I was super excited to find a bakery in Ontario that was both gluten free and vegan. Unfortunately I was disappointed. I ordered cupcakes for my gender reveal party. The pink icing was so faint that many needed a few minutes to decode them. Next, they were ridiculously sweet! Unexpected from a bakery that is also promoting a healthy lifestyle brand. Very confusing. We also purchased other desserts and found they were all too sweet, loaded with various forms of icing and most didn't look anything like the pictures on the web. Their branding is fun, hip and cute which drew me to the site, but their desserts are lacking. I won't be making another trip here.

I love this place! This is my favourite spot to buy vegan goodies. I don’t live anywhere near the place but it’s worth the trip. If I lived closer, I would be there everyday ;) Wonderful owners, wonderful staff.

Received Kelly's cupcakes as a birthday treat from some friends and the cupcakes were pretty good (the cake itself was kind of dry, but the icing is superb). I decided to finally make the trek out there to visit the store myself and it was …

Prior to the Pandemic, we were weekly visitors to Kelly's for a hot chocolate or coffee before a walk along the lake. The staff are amazing, always with a smile and they even knew my husband's name (and his order). With Covid, it has been more difficult to keep our regular visits going, but we still love the Mile High Brownie and Dulce de Leche Cupcake. My husband's favourite is the lemon poppy seed loaf, with that light glaze drizzled on top. The fact that they use unrefined sweeteners, are completely vegan while also being gluten and nut free, makes this place an easy choice for us.

Great options for all allergies! We tried this delicious cookie with lots of seeds and it was heavenly. The cupcakes were good, but I would stick with the cookies or brownies next time I visit.

Will Grafham

Pretty much the go to vegan bake shop in Burlington. If you’re looking for unique cookies, cupcakes, etc, then you’d want to stop by and see what they have. Super friendly service as well and you leave happy wanting to come back again. It was so good I forgot to take a photo before I took a bite of the lemons poppy seed loaf!

Carla Freeman

The staff was amazing! Very friendly and helpful. So many great choices! I got vanilla, and dulce de leche cupcakes and a snickerdoodle cookie. They were delicious! I highly recommend Kelly's Bake Shoppe!!

Victoria Leite

Absolutely love everything about Kelly’s! The invited bake shoppe has all the allergen friendly treats that I can enjoy with my super restricted diet. You’d never know that the treats were gluten free and vegan as they are just so delicious. It is worth the drive to Burlington!!

Leah Marie Radoman-McMahon

My family and I have been going to Kelly's Bake Shoppe for years, and our experience is fantastic every single time! As a Celiac, I cannot eat gluten and this is the only place I get baked goods from, they are my favorite place! Their staff also has always gone above and beyond for us, both my sons were recently diagnosed as Type 1 Diabetic and they helped us with all the nutritional info so we knew how many carbs were in the items we purchased so my kiddos could enjoy their treats worry free! Thank you!!

Aleksandra Hrkal

Fantastic cupcakes and treats! We always stop by at this sweet little bakery every chance we get. Appreciate the flavour and quality ingredients. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Holistic Judith

Plant-based, non-allergen, vegan treats? I confess that I set the bar fairly low for taste, but was I ever wrong! I taste-tested my way through cupcakes, brownies and cookie sandwiches, and enjoyed every delicious bite! Not only a treat for the taste buds, but the products are literal eye candy. The cupcakes, in particular, are works of art. The shop experience was a joyful one, from friendly and helpful staff to mouth-watering displays to the beautiful space. The price point is a little bit higher than an average bakery, but this is no average bakery and you will get what you pay for. Products freeze well. Convenient parking right beside. I highly recommend Kelly's. You won't be disappointed.

Michelle Janik

AMAZING LOCAL STAPLE! I’ve been coming to Kelly’s since 2012 and they truly just get better and better. So thankful for everything Kelly and her thoughtful staff do, you truly are appreciated. All of your products are SO GOOD; my mom loves your granola and constantly checks back to see if you have it in stock and your cookies are out of this world, both for humans and dogs! Our lab loved them when she was this us. I highly recommend visiting here if you are in the Burlington area!

Jhing Rem

Baked goods were delish. I wasn't able to take a photo of the other goodies I bought since I ate them already. I particularly liked the matcha shortbread which was half covered with chocolate and sea salt. Omg! What an awesome idea to mix the matcha in a shortbread then covered with sweet and salty yummy goodness! ???? oh the chocolate fudge brownie and the cupcakes...hands down very good! Thank you. Definitely coming back.

Jennifer

We drive all the way from Cambridge to buy these delicious baked goods! As a gluten free vegan, it's amazing to be able to have treats that are safe for me to eat, AND delicious! And the owners are such lovely humans too!

Katherine Jarzecki

Kelly's is the best. The owners are wonderful ladies - ALL ABOUT LOVE ❤️ That is really all you need to know! Best baked goods, delicious, healthy...caters to all my food intolerances - what more could you want?! I have been a loyal customer since day 1 and will continue to be. Thank you Kelly's for all that you do!

Kim Claydon

Love this bake shop! The vegan options are endless and delicious! The shop is so adorable and in a great location and the friendly staff make it such an enjoyable visit.

Sophie Giroux

Not good. Much better places around. Questionable health practices. I wouldn’t trust that the food is prepared in a safe environment. Not consistent with following public health practices. BUT, if (possibly) contaminated-cardboard tasting cupcakes is your thing, then go for it.

ana opacak

I absolutely love it here! These are the perfect sweet treats! I make the hour drive every weekend because the Nanaimo bars have a special place in my heart. The team at Kelly’s are very welcoming the moment you walk in and very helpful! I highly recommend going here!

Kathy Majerczak

Kelly’s is one of the best little magical gems in downtown Burlington. I have been a fan since they first opened up at Kindfood. They offer vegan and gluten free baked goods that really warm your heart. My person faves are the mile high brownie and the skinny cookie. Check them out as the shoppe is so quaint and charming, you’re welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. Love coming to Kelly’s for a little treat and latte. You’ll leave with a full heart ????

Larissa Hofman

I love Kelly's! It's the perfect bakery to get treats for special events, holidays, and just for a little something sweet or savoury! I've been going to Kelly's since they opened. Their staff is always so positive and helpful. I have never had a bad experience or order that did not meet my high expectations. Thank you to the team at Kelly's for always treating people with respect and spreading love and tasty goodness to our community and beyond. Keep up the great work - and I will see you again soon!

Patrick Chabot

The staff and quality of this bakery are both mimicked on a 5 star level reflected in their product. Thank you so much Kelly's for providing all the tasty treats that are locally baked. It is unfortunate to hear about some of the people who have taken it upon themselves to harass this amazing establishment and their employees. Keep up the good work! “Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice."

Sarah Unfried

This place is the BEST. If you are looking for specialty gluten free or whatever they have it, and it tastes like you hope it will. Plus, so pretty! We look forward to stopping here every time we are in town. The owners/bakers are the nicest people you’d hope to meet. All the stars! You’ll be glad you found them!

taylor junkin

I had my first dairy and gluten free birthday and was told I had to get a Kelly’s cake - and boy, am I glad I did! The mile high brownie cake was so decadent and perfect. Since then, we make special trips down to Burlington JUST for Kelly’s! The food is amazing, but the service is even better. Thank you for creating a beautiful space and culture to share ♥️

I have to admit, the first time I had Kelly's Mile High Brownie, I was impressed by the taste and loved it overall. However, I was definitely disappointed when I recently visited again. I got the same brownie and the poppy seed loaf. I didn't end up liking it this time, as it was missing the taste of freshness. Perhaps it had been sitting out all day or for more than a day, I'm not sure what it was. But it was not good. However, I really loved their drink & enjoyed sipping on their drip coffee made with coconut milk. I really like the interiors and exteriors of this place and find that it's such a cute spot. A bonus is that there is parking as well.

Goats and Hoes

I messaged Kelly’s Bake Shoppe and they replied right away with the most beautiful reply. So grateful to have amazing small businesses like Kelly’s in our country. Looking forward to ordering and supporting these lovely folks.

Danica Parilac

Love Kelly’s! All of their baked goods never disappoint…they are consistent in quality and service. Always a smiling and pleasant staff. Local entrepreneurs with great product and service. If you think gluten free vegan doesn’t taste good - I challenge you to try the mile high brownie (one of my personal faves and addictions lol)!!! ❤️????????❤️

A K

Amazing and delicious food. A taste of freedom in every bite. I support this business who stands up to Canadian values and beliefs, and that belief is the right to support whomever they choose to. My new place for bakery

Matthew Morelli

I've heard their baked goods are great- their coffee isn't, especially for the price. $6.50 not including tax and tip for a latte that tasted like burnt popcorn. If it were half the price, I wouldn't be complaining, but it seems like they've mastered the art of taking advantage of their customer's

Sheena Bondoc

As someone with a nut allergy, it's always hard to find some bake goods that I am able to eat. But I've come here a couple times and I am never disappointed! The cupcakes are so good and I love that they mix it up a bit so that you are trying different types. And I never have to worry about if I'll ever have an allergic reaction to them.If your ever downtown Burlington, you must stop by Kelly's!

meaghan mariiee

I absolutely love Kelly’s Bake Shoppe! I’m from out of town so I can’t visit often but whenever I find myself in the area I make it a point to visit! The staff were so friendly and helpful on my visit and everything is so beautiful within the store. I tried the snickerdoodle oat latte and omg it has so much flavour and tastes just like the cookie!! I highly recommend ????????

Tonina Tesolin

Cupcakes, mile high brownie, plant based lattes are my fav. Great selection, helpful staff. Would highly recommend. Looking forward to my next treat! Healthy treat ????

Garry Dam

Cupcakes here are amazing. Cookies were good too, but not the soft chewy kind that we normal like.

Linda Ljucovic

I was thrilled to learn about Kelly's when my boys couldn't digest gluten. Now, I recommend it to my nutrition clients for a fun treat that is not bad for your health! Love their skinny cookies best!

Helene Boudreau

What a beautiful local vegan Shoppe!!! Everything in the store is vegan, nut free and delicious!! Okay, I haven't tried everything but will be back for more! Thank you to the friendly and safe staff to help with our order. We even got lil pup treats they have at the cash ????

Alba DiGirolamo

Kelly's Bake Shoppe is my go to vegan bake shop!!!! We stop by frequently on our home from Niagara to Toronto. Such great selection and everything we've tried is absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this bakery.

Dealing with Thyroid problems and PCOS is tough. Especially because it means I have to stay away from gluten, dairy and soy which is never an easy task when trying to buy prepared foods.. Which is why places like Kelly’s Bake Shoppe is a Godsend! I can enjoy all the treats I love without any of the guilt (or stomach pains)! Thank you for putting so much thought and love into everything you make! You can definitely taste it!

Mary Macdonald

Kelly’s is an amazing store, as soon as you walk through the doors the charm and familiar atmosphere from your childhood washes over you. That feeling of watching afternoon cartoons, wrapped in a cozy blanket while the scent of grand mom’s homemade treats filled the home. Having a child that has a peanut allergy in itself usually leads to iffy foods at most places, not at Kelly’s, my kids devoured our last order. This is just one more reason out of the hundreds as to why I would recommend Kelly’s to EVERYONE!!!! Lastly, thank you for helping to keep my child safe. Will be back soon for more cookies????????????

Heather Prest

This café is an absolute rip off for coffee. Their medium latte (12oz) costs $6.00, plus they charged us an extra $0.50 for oat milk. They are a VEGAN BAKERY AND CAFE. Why is there a surcharge for regular vegan milk? It should be included in the base price of $6.00. I have worked in cafe's as a barista for over five years and NO third-wave specialty coffee shops in the golden horseshoe charge even CLOSE to this much for a medium 12oz latte, even with other places adding a $.50-$1.00 surcharge for vegan milk. Kelly's is charging over two dollars more than the market price for specialty third-wave coffee. Absolutely ridiculous. Do NOT buy your coffee there. Absolute garbage coffee too. The milk was steamed way too hot, burned both our mouths plus the espresso was burnt. Do NOT waste your money on coffee here.

Jen Crewson

Best gluten free and dairy free baked goods I’ve ever had!!! Such a beautiful bakery to visit in Burlington and Kelly is an amazing owner and beautiful soul.

Sarah Almeida

Repeat Customer‼️ I always end heading to Kelly’s when needing a pick me up ❤️ Because I feel that sense of magic the moment i walk through the doors ✨ the atmosphere and good vibes of the staff always making me feel welcomed to the beautifully set up treats lined up behind the glass window ???? the mile high brownie is definitely an experience that can’t be missed! My fav ❤️. Might be a little on the pricey side but only because they use good quality, organic, vegan ingredients that are peanut free! I appreciate this entire business behind peanut free as I have a severe peanut allergy which puts my mind at ease. Thank you for spreading your love and light with your good vibes and tasty treats ❤️❤️❤️ Definitely recommended to anyone having food allergies!

The friendliest bakery!! And DELICIOUS! I'm obssesed with their brownie and vegan ice cream!! Best vegan/gluten free bakery I've been to so far♡

Susan Vogan

We are a family with nut allergies and gluten intolerance. Kelly’s is and always has been our go to spot for delicious treats and birthday celebrations. Awesome staff. The ice cream is yummy too.

Therese Montes

Delicious gluten-free desserts are hard to come by but Kelly's Bake Shoppe cupcakes and cookies are divine. If you didn't know they were gluten free, you wouldn't know... not dry and crumbly like others.

Amber Schenk

Kelly’s Bake Shoppe is an incredible small business that shares, not only their love for baking and the most delicious goodies you’ll ever taste, but also their love for others. Always a sweet and joyous atmosphere. Could not recommend them enough!

Simi Powar

A dream for gluten free and vegan people. Desserts galore and fun new options seasonally. Recommend the ice creams and although their cupcake counter is large, their other items (bars, cookies, Nanaimo) are the jewel of the bakery. Cupcakes never taste as good the next day so enjoy quickly.

Valerie

I live in North York and make the drive to Burlington for every family, friend and coworker birthday I am part of. Every treat I've tried is delicious! And the customer service is fantastic. I always feel good when I leave here, everyone is so nice. I love the way they treat their customers.

Top Designer

Hello our wonderful bakery shop, We love your Bakeries, we go to Burlington often and whenever we go there we stop by your yummy dessert store!! We hope to see you soon in our next visit! Hold the line! Take care, love you!!

Lee Stanton

The staff are always friendly and I love that I can find treats that don't contain my allergens. If I were only going to review one product (very hard decision, they're all …

katy haworth

Kelly’s bake shoppe is arguably the best allergy friendly Bake Shoppe in all of Ontario. Gluten free, Dairy Free and Peanut free delicious tasting treats made with love ???? You walk in their doors and feel like you’re part of the family right away. Kelly and Erinn and their team are so sweet. A bake shoppe like no other. Highly recommend their Snickerdoodle Cookies, soft serve ice cream, Mile High Brownie (the list goes on)!

Jenn Welch

Anyone who knows, KNOWS just how amazing these baked goods really are! ♥️ So fresh! So very tasty and the best part? Vegan AND gluten free. From the very depth of my heart ( and guts) so many thank yous ????????????

Gina F

My daughters and I always go to Kelly’s bakery, not just for the best homemade desserts, but the customer service is outstanding! We are always greeted with a smile, prompt and polite service!! I recommed all to visit this beautiful cute bakery!! Thank you for your sweets! ????????

Karen

Kelly's Bake Shoppe is our "go to" for exceptionally delicious treats! You will not regret your visit here. Great food and great people!

Darcy Huda

Have always loved visiting this bakery every time I'm in Burlington and will continue to support small businesses like this. Thanks for bringing some baking joy and love during these challenging times.

FG G

Kelly’s bake shoppe has the tastiest products with ingredients I can trust. I wish I lived closer to visit more often but we have made it a tradition for my birthday and Valentine’s Day Kelly’s bake shoppe cupcakes are my go to treat for years!! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Kelly and Erin seem like genuine, good, kind hearted people. Love Kelly’s bake shoppe. Worth the visit! -Francesca G.

Alina F.

The shop: brilliant, beautiful and well laid out. Downtown burlington is an ideal location. The exterior of the shop looks inviting and the staff were very welcoming, nice and helpful. The cupcakes: undercooked, chewy batter, and frosting was too sweet and grainy, as if it wasn't blended property. Nearly 30 dollars for 6 cupcakes that were at best 5/10, far too overpriced in my opinion.

Alexa Howard

Best bakery!! My go to bakery for anything vegan! Everything is not only delicious but looks so pretty as well. Highly recommend if you're vegan or not!

Landon Cullen

Great bakery! Staff is always super friendly and there mile high brownies are amazing. The owners Erinn and Kelly are great and super kind as well!

Radek Montgomery

Always have had the best experience with Kelly’s. Amazing owners. Amazing staff. Amazing service. Amazingly delicious. You have my support every time I’m in Burlington. And I’ll be coming back more often to support you even more now!! ????????????????

Jessica

The most adorable bakery! My family and I are locals and love going there with the kids. The owners and staff are such kind people and they make a mean brownie! HIGHLY recommend!

Sabrina Lino

These pumpkin spice cookies are delicious but they are SO unbelievably sweet. You can take a half a bite NO more!

Miruna Beti

The sweet treats are great, but what sets them appart is the phenomenal customer service. They accomodated my special requests without hesitation, even brought the order out to my car. The ladies there are just the sweetest!

Anjali Sharma

Great vegan and gluten free collection of desserts. Vibrant store with extremely polite and great customer service . Laurie who was working over the weekend was exceptional . She took her time answering all our questions and did not rush us at all.

Jackie R

Kelly’s baked treats are delicious! You would never know they’re gluten-free! Kelly and Erin have created such a positive, welcoming atmosphere and are very inclusive. They’re pricing is a little more on the expensive side, but their delicious treats are worth it!

Finally glutton free treats, that ACTUALLY taste good! Ordered for a family member who couldn't get enough. Definitely better than most places attemp at glutton free baking! Would recommend.

Tammy Place

Just received my first order from Kelly's and can't say enough good things! It was the most delicious gluten free cupcake I have every eaten. I would recommend this amazing Bake Shoppe to to anyone! And the customer service was so helpful! Cannot wait to try more of their goodies!!

Elena Colussi-Pelaez

I have been coming to Kelly's for years now and it never disappoints. I recently picked up a curbside pick up order and it was such an efficient service, I was thoroughly impressed with it. All the baked goods are delightful and I am so happy to find treats to eat for my allergies/intolerances .

Emily Smith

Kelly's bake shop is a gem and a staple in downtown Burlington. What a beautiful gift your shop is to the city! Every baked good is so carefully and delicately made with delicious goodness! So many options, good ingredients, something to please everyone, good prices and portions, but most of all, great customer service! Can't wait to come back :)

Dayna

Always loved Kelly’s bake shop. I’ve been coming here for almost ten years now. I also have their cookbook and they have the most AMAZING GRANOLA recipe ever!! I eat it every day with plain yogurt. 10/10

April-Ashley M

This is vegan paradise. So many dairy-free goodies that can't be found anywhere else. Every thing I've ever ordered has been tasty AND beautiful. 10/10

Scott Travers

Well run and amazing baked goods. I don't care about vegan or gluten free, but their stuff tastes great and so the vegan is a bonus.

Kate W

I am so disappointed at having supported Kelly's Bake Shoppe. The owner's absolutely absurd stances and the company's history of racism are horrifying. To be clear, it's on me for not having done my research. I didn't stop to consider that a gluten-free bakery could be so incredibly problematic. Ignorance and hate has no place in our community, or anywhere else for that matter. Please consider supporting businesses that deserve your dollars. Kelly's isn't one of them.

Tahnee Picken

You can't help but smile when you walk into Kelly's. It is so warm and cozy! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the offerings are delicious. I love how salt is balanced into certain recipes. The matcha cookies are so delicious. I always purchased muffins, pumpkin scone, cupcake and a snickerdoodle. Nothing disappointed. I'm so thankful for the time and effort taken to make allergen friendly goods. I will always stop here when in Burlington ????

Lydia Fortier

My family arrived from Northern Ontario and we had talked up Kelly’s to them (my Sister in law is Celiac and was so excited to try them). We bought 6 cupcakes all different flavours on Friday July 2nd around 4pm. The lady serving us was …

Nick Bourne

Friendly environment, quality products. While I'm not vegan / anti peanuts, etc, most of our studio folks have some sort of an allergy / food intolerance. This is the safest, tastiest place where we can get something everyone can enjoy.
