We loved Kelly's Cafe! Our daughter is named Kelly and we were in Boothbay for the night so we had to try breakfast here. We met the owner, Kelly, and she and her staff were amazing. We initially were going to take a smaller table for the 5 of us, but a couple offered to move so we could push two together. Amazing and so unexpected but appreciated! We all loved our breakfasts - Happy Cakes for the kids included whipped cream, sprinkles and a piece of bacon; the croffle with blueberry compote was delicious; and the breakfast sandwich on wheatberry bread was great. The whole thing was topped off with a story from Kelly (she's also a published author!) and a treat for the kids from her treasure chest. My older two thought it was really sweet and my 8 yo was totally caught up in the story about mermaids and treasure. This was such a delightful stop, we recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Oh my, this place is lovely and bright! The individuals working here are welcoming, listen to you and serve with a smile. (I appreciate when you order two dishes and switch) we had biscuits and gravy scrambled egg and French toast with bacon. Best biscuits and gravy of my life!! Coffee is so rich and delicious!! It's an intimate location (up stairs be prepared) with off street parking, clean bathrooms available. The food is so delicious, flavorful and generous portions. Luckily they do to go orders so you could call ahead and have someone with you go up the stairs or maybe if you ask and can't climb stairs they could meet you at the base of the stairs. Excellent place that's interested in spreading joy!! read more

Ordered the Mainer which is supposed to be corned beef hash & eggs. Question is.... Where's the beef? This dish although the eggs & potato's were good it curtained lacked the corned beef. Disappointing. veggie scramble was good. So one out of two ain't bad read more

The food was amazing, best gluten free breakfast I've had yet! Kelly is really sweet and the staff is nice.

Service was very poor. Failed to seat our party. Staff miss managed seating and did a very poor job communicating

Wonderful new breakfast/lunch w/ an ocean view! Many low carb/gluten-free options. We enjoyed: 1. Smash burger on a gluten-free bagel (didn't have that substitute ingredients texture) 2. Clam chowder: thick & full of flavor 3. Garden salad w/ a scoop of chicken salad 4. Gluten free sugar cookies Dining room is bright & cheerful. Central downtown location at the end of the footbridge. Service is outstanding. read more

The food here was amazing scratch cooked and very generous serving sizes. The staff was friendly and on the ball. The view was amazing cannot say enough good about this place. Get the corn beef hash omelette read more

I cannot say enough good things about Kelly's! The gf bagel was the best gluten free bread item I have EVER eaten! Kelly herself has sensitivities and understands all things Celiac. She says that she missed bagels, so she put all that she had into making it and other gf items tasty. Separate kitchen space, bakes gf on different days than other items, strict CC protocols all around. The cafe is quaint, the service is so friendly, and it is right on the water. I wish I could bring Kelly back to NC with me! Be sure to check the hours so you won't miss this place! read more

The customer service is excellent and food is amazing. First time here, I was short on cash and Kelly gave me the coffee I ordered for free with 2 cookies. I promised I would come back to repay her kindness. The following day, my partner and I came back to dine in and were gifted an amazing pastry. An awesome place! read more

Kelly's Cafe - a little girl wearing a blue hat and holding a camera - Sandwiches Near Me - Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Went in this AM for a quick bagel to go. $8.64 for a plain bagel with cream cheese. I thought that was wrong obviously, so I questioned it and was told it was "comparable to the area." Apparently the cream cheese was three dollars extra. The cream cheese was a tiny amount in a small container, barely enough for both sides and we had to put it on ourselves. This is not "comparable" to the area at all. You can get a cheeseburger and fries or a sandwich cheaper than that. Cute place but prices are outlandish and disrespectful to say the least. read more

Great breakfast and fun folks there! Loved the biscuit & croissant. Fun to look at the harbor, too.

We visited for breakfast, I had the biscuits and gravy, they were great, the gravy was light, with tremendous flavor, lots of sausage in the gravy, but not heavy/fatty taste, the biscuit was light and paired with the gravy, my wife had the quiche, and enjoyed it. Service was excellent, All I can say is ENJOY!!!! read more

Wonderful food and a beautiful atmosphere! The food was delicious.we ordered the avacado toast and the quiche and they were delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. This is worth the trip! read more

My wife and I wandered in on a whim while on vacation, and we did not regret it! She ordered an omelette, which was excellent. The potatoes that came with it were superb as well. I ordered the "French Toast and Friends", and everything was delicious & cooked perfectly. Service was great, and so friendly. I'd highly recommend this place! read more

Loved everything about this place. The staff was so incredibly nice and the food tasted like home. They were so good to my children and even offered them a treat from a treasure chest at the end of the meal. Most of us had their egg sandwich with cheese. The blueberry pancakes had a wonderful lemon zest. But if I'm being completely honest, they were the friendliest people in town. They all had smiles on their faces and it makes you feel good being there. They appreciated the business and it showed. Plus the restaurant was so cute and pretty. read more

Gluten free food is always a challenge to find on vacation; so glad Yelp helped us find Kelly's. Delicious options!

Kelly's Cafe was such a wonderful experience. My husband and two kids enjoyed breakfast accompanied by the staff performing a table side story time complete with a treasure chest where the kids got to pick a treat! The food was wonderful and the ambiance was filled with natural light and a beautiful view of the harbor! Highly recommend read more

My boyfriend and I went to Kelly's Cafe in Boothbay Harbor for breakfast. It is such a pretty cafe, with amazing views of the harbor, and the people who work there could not be nicer!! My boyfriend had the Biscuits and Gravy, Fried Eggs with a side of Corned Beef Hash. He claimed it was all the best he's ever had. I had the Baileys French Toast, and let me tell you, it was amazing!!!! While eating we listened in on a story that Kelly (the owner) was telling the children at the table next to us. The kids were glued to their seats listening to her adventures at the beach, that ended with a treasurer chest filled with goodies. The smiles on the kids faces were priceless. We will be back! read more

Excellent food and friendly service. You won't be disappointed. Wonderful location with great views.

Had a breakfast sandwich and it was tasty. A bagel, 2 eggs and a slice of cheese was $23 with a bottle of water. Two of those sandwiches and 2 waters $46! Never again. Let's be reasonable read more

We had the most delicious breakfast here! Beautiful space, great service, terrific food and the view is amazing!

We were sad to see that the former restaurant in this space (Bridge Street Café) was gone but decided to give the new owners a try. The space is still fresh and clean, comfortable 4 top tables and large windows with great water views. Kelly has decided to run her breakfast service in more of a take-out style. We ordered our breakfasts at the register and then sat at a table. We asked for water and were sold bottles, orange juice was also sold by the bottle. Orders for coffee were by size (sm, med., large) but there was a "fixins' bar" where guests could add cream and sugar. The food we ordered arrived quickly and was very good. However, we felt the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Kelly is off to a good start and we wish her the best of luck with her new endeavor. read more

Was told about Kelly's Cafe from a woman who works at the hotel we were staying at. Was welcomed by Kelly herself as we walked through the door. Such a kind and cheerful woman. We sat at a table that overlooked the harbor.... What an amazing view ! I ordered the 3 egg omelet that was so light and fluffy with delicious veggies and cheese. My husband who is strictly Paleo ordered the breakfast salad that was such a beautiful plate. He also ordered a paleo bagel that was made by Kelly. She answered all the questions we had with his allergies and diet. So refreshing to go to a restaurant that caters to so many special dietary needs in addition to having traditional breakfasts. The staff is so friendly, service was fast and food was delicious. This is definitely a place we will be going back to whenever we are in town. Thank you Kelly! Best of luck to you! read more

We went to Kelly's Cafe for lunch in Boothbay Harbor. It's a really cute place with fresh, high-quality ingredients and great service. What we especially appreciated was that the owner was so knowledgeable and accommodating of my two kids' severe food allergies (dairy and tree nuts). The owner has food allergies herself and was very careful with our orders. read more

We enjoyed a breakfast at Kelley's this morning. The Omelette was light and fluffy with tons of ingredients...the toast was awesome...not an ordinary white bread. The blueberry pancakes were to die for. Bacon was flavorful, crisp, but not burnt. Worth every penny...give it a try. read more

Very good tuna salad wrap and chicken salad wrap. We visited just before their Gand opening and were treated to EXCELLENT cookies that were a sugar/shortbread hybrid with a crisp frosting. They alone were worth the visit! I hope that the cookies are a regular offering. 4 stars because coffee was tepid and needed a microwave blast. read more

I never leave reviews but I had to remember to leave a review for Kelly's Cafe. My family ( me, husband, two boys, 8 and 13) stopped for lunch while vacationing in Boothbay Harbor. It was our favorite place by far. The decor was perfect but the menu and kind service set this place apart. My youngest son, the picky eater, was so happy to have toast with cinnamon and sugar just like home! We loved that you could order items a la carts so kids could pick and choose what they wanted. My other son had his comfort food, PB&J, and we were wowed when the chef came out and asked how he likes his PB&J-heavy on the jelly or peanut butter? What service!really unexpected! My husband and I both had a BLT which was perfect with fresh lettuce and tomato and perfectly cooked bacon. I had the Grandma's Nubbies which I saved for our whale watching trip, they were delicious! We hoped to get back again for breakfast but unfortunately they were closed on our last day, but are grateful for their kindness to weary and hungry tourists! read more
