Kelly's Cafe

We loved our breakfast experience! Kelly’s has great gluten-free options. Service was fast, and everyone was really kind!

Kelly’s is hands down our fave breakfast/brunch spot. As someone with hard to manage dietary needs, I can’t express how happy and excited I was when I heard about it. If you’re gluten free or paleo, you know that finding delicious food in restaurants can be tricky. I almost cried tears of joy when I tried Kelly’s paleo bagel for the first time. 10/10. Not only is the food amazing, but Kelly and her staff are just wonderful. My daughter and I always leave full and happy. Kelly’s Cafe (and Kelly herself) are absolute lights in this world.

Even though the inn we were staying at served a good free hot breakfast every morning, we went to Kelly's Cafe multiple times instead during our week in Boothbay. It was that good. I am a French Toast-aholic and theirs has to rank as one of the best that I ever had. It was The Jersey that I fell in love with the most though. My son had it the first time there and he said it was really good so I just had to try it the next day. Yep. It was so good that I got it again on our last day. I cannot recall what my wife and daughter got but they were raving about how good theirs were. My daughter says that their gluten-free toast was so good that one would not be able to tell it was gluten-free. But for me, the main draw are the people. They all were so kind and sweet. They give Maine folk a good name. Sadly, our vacation had to end so we are now back home 4+ hours away but who knows? Maybe one morning, the wife and I will look at each other, smile because we know what the other is thinking and then jump in the car to head back up north to Kelly's!
