If I ever have the opportunity to visit again, I'd love to stay at the bed and breakfast. It looked incredibly charming, cozy, and like the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Even though not everything on my plate was a hit, the warm atmosphere and lovely setting made it a place I'd happily return to.

Not one of those dry and crumbly scones, nice and tender. The espresso itself was awesome! There was depth of flavor to it, not just a strong cup of coffee, it had some complexity. Well worth the stop!

We started with the shrimp salad on toast points, and I had an outstanding espresso martini. The appetizer was tasty, although it was very creamy such that I could not visibly recognize the shrimp. For dinner, I ordered the seafood Alfredo, and my wife ordered the market-price "Lump Crabcake" entrée. The Alfredo was very good, although the scallops were bay scallops rather than sea scallops, and for the price I expected a little more seafood. Her entrée included vegetables, while I had to order mine separately as an additional side. The biggest disappointment was the crabcakes. Despite being promoted as "lump crabcake," they appeared to be mostly filler with finely shredded crab, with perhaps 15% lump crabmeat. The flavor was good, but not exceptional, and I found the name of the entrée misleading. I am accustomed to a lump crabcake being predominantly lump crab. For dessert, we shared the bread pudding, which seemed unsure whether it wanted to be bread pudding or apple pie. It was fine, but not especially memorable. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, received excellent service, and thought much of the food was good to very good. However, the crabcakes were quite disappointing, especially given the description and market price. Our bill before tip came close to $150, which was a bit of a shock considering the quality and portions. Calvin and the espresso martini were definite highlights, but the crabcakes did not live up to expectations.

Portions were on the large side so we had leftovers for a full takeaway meal. The egg rolls were new to us - corned beef dipped in a mustard sauce was an unusual, yet pleasant appetizer. They arrived hot with the interior cheese melted. Good. Side of broccoli was cooked to a soft texture - this is normal in many restaurants, yet I prefer crunchy raw so will ask for that next time. Service: Emily appeared frequently enough so we did not feel neglected. She's obviously experienced as we observed her navigating an increasingly busy clientele. Surprised for being after normal lunch time - 1:00 PM. She seemed to agree with our menu choices by sayiing "Good Choice." on our selections, Ambiance: Decor reminiscent of an Irish pub. It's NOT a college-student hangout by appearances and Emily's description. Surprising given how close this place is to the University. Tables and chairs, and booths appeared clean. Restroom was accessible, clean and well supplied. Mix of background music from Billy Joel to Irish titles. Ample free parking in front lot. Overall, a top rating due to a surprisingly pleasant experience offering unique to Salisbury food and atmosphere. Few notes: 1. Backs of booths are shared. Thus, you can feel neighboring diner shifting seats or leaning back. Like a kid kicking your airplaine seat back behind you, it's a minor irritation IF done once or twice. 2. Female servers need not wear minikilts and shorts to attract business in my opinion. Their uniform, if required, brings into question whether it's a family place. Regular length kilts would add suitable authentic atmosphere IMO.

Even though we ordered our appetizer, a Bavarian pretzel ahead of time it did not come out until our meal. And yes this can be timing from the kitchen.

Kellyn's Kafe offers an impressive menu featuring everything from classic pancakes and fluffy omelets to hearty breakfast burritos. On my recent visit, I couldn't resist trying their signature breakfast sandwich. Served on a freshly baked biscuit, it was filled with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and melty cheese. The flavors were phenomenal, and the biscuit was light and flaky--definitely a standout! For those who love sweets in the morning, their cinnamon rolls are not to be missed. Warm, gooey, and drizzled with icing, it's the perfect way to start your day. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee, and you've got a breakfast that's both comforting and indulgent.

I opted for the turkey club, which came piled high with layers of turkey, crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and crispy bacon on perfectly toasted bread. The flavors melded beautifully, and each bite was satisfying. Another highlight of the lunch menu is their homemade soups. On my visit, I tried the creamy tomato basil, and it was a delightful blend of flavors--rich, savory, and comforting. It's like a warm hug in a bowl! Sweet Treats and Refreshing Drinks Now, let's get to the sweet stuff! Kellyn's Kafe is renowned for its delicious cake doughnuts and ice cream treats. Their doughnuts are made fresh daily, and you can taste the difference. I couldn't resist grabbing a glazed doughnut, and it was absolutely divine--soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. The ice cream selection is equally impressive, with a variety of flavors that change seasonally. You can enjoy a classic scoop or indulge in one of their creative milkshakes. I opted for a strawberry milkshake, and it was thick, creamy, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. It's the kind of treat that makes you want to savor every last drop! A Commitment to Quality What really sets Kellyn's Kafe apart is their commitment to quality and local sourcing. You can feel good about supporting a family-owned business that prioritizes fresh ingredients and scratch-made dishes.
