By the way, it was not a fluke. The shortbread cookie is still good. (I'm rating the rest of the cookies as 4 stars still.) read more

Don't come here on a diet lol! This is a cute black owned bakery in Dallas with an inviting and homey atmosphere. I love their extensive pops of red. I came here for the banana bread which looks like more like a muffin cake. I was hesitant on how it would taste but then at first bite I was in love. I absolutely love that there's version with nuts and those without. I do not like banana bread with nuts so I loved that there's version wee options. I saw a number of cookies. These are definitely your thicker and more dense cookie based on appearance. Quite a lot of flavors to choose from. I was a bit overwhelmed so I just settled for the banana bread but next time I come I'll try a cookie for sure. They also make cinnamon rolls which are really popular so definitely check them out. The service was great and I think I interacted with the owner. I'll definitely be back. There's parking in the back which was much appreciated!! read more

Kessler Baking Studio is such a cute, cozy Black-owned spot in Bishop Arts! As a first-timer, I was honestly overwhelmed by all the fresh, beautiful baked treats. I was picking up goodies for a friend visiting Texas for the first time, so I grabbed the Signature Texas Pecan Shortbread Cookie, made with real Texas butter and Texas grown pecans. For myself, I got The Miss Debra (the cashier called it "Lil Miss Debbie grew up" ) a grown-up twist on the classic favorite! The oatmeal cookies were perfectly soft, and that buttercream filling... OMG, it just melts in your mouth. Absolutely delicious‼ Customer service was amazing as the cashier was patient, welcoming, and even included a sweet note. As a first-time visitor, I was also gifted a petite chocolate chip biscotti, which made such a great first impression. Flavor-chaser approved! I'll definitely be back. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and the other day my husband sent me a Tik Tok of this place and I knew it was meant for me to go. First off, how freakin' adorable is this baking studio! I hate climbing stairs but it was so cute I didn't care at all! It's small in the front so I would be mindful of that. I knew what I wanted but as I stepped in I saw those Kesslerdoodle rice krispy treats and didn't mind if a diddly doo grabbed one! I also purchased a chocolate chip cookie for my niece, a peanut butter cookie for me, and a snickerdoodle for my husband. I got in the car and immediately opened the rice krispy. OMG okay the thing is huge. I mean you could eat off of it for 3 days. I did it in a few hours. It was so delicious. You can taste the love the owner pored into making that rice krispy. I wish I had bought two of them. I'm eating the peanut butter cookie as I'm writing this review and it is so good. You can taste the ingredients in her baked goods. It's not just sweet. I love that for us! I left this cookie out over night and it is still soft! I'm excited to try her other baked goods! read more

Hands down the best Bakery in the DFW if not the state of Texas! The owners are the best people you could ever meet. The presentation of the pastries is very nice. You can see the pride put into the bakery and their products. This place rivals with bakeries in Paris. Please go and patronize this establishment. It's wonderful!!! We'll definitely return for more! Often! read more

This is one of the places that I should've reviewed years ago. It is one of my go to stops in Dallas and the best cookies in Oak Cliff. I am a Saturday order ahead girl because the biscuit egg sandwiches are incredible. The biscuits are perfectly baked and salted and the cheese is melty and no skimping on the eggs! I truly have sometimes planned my Saturdays around picking up my Kessler Baking Studio breakfast order. The cookies are all great and there's always something new they're testing. I've given the frozen cookie dough for holiday gifts several years in a row. And the whole staff is friendly! Check it out if you're in town, can't go wrong. read more

Imagine going to cru***e when you could literally have this. I didn't even have time to take a photo. It's gone. The lady who helped me was so nice and gave me the background which explains why their bakes are soooo amazing. The cookies were so soft and perfect and HUGE! Also had the lemon bundt cake. Literally the tartest, most perfect amount of lemon UGHHH. Truly a gem. read more

Love this cute bakery nestled inside a home. The breakfast sandwiches with homage biscuits are quite good. The cookies are huge, have a nice soft bite to them and full of flavor. The rice Krispy treats are amazing and huge! Service is always warm and welcoming. read more

First time at this bakery. I often seek out bakeries to try around the metroplex. This is the first bakery that I've walked into in a long time and felt overwhelmed, just by all of the options. There was so much good stuff available for purchase. They also had a whole bunch of frozen cookie dough ready to go. There was also some up cycling products available where they turned yesterday cookies into biscotti's. I was greeted by a very nice employee and walked through all of the options. This is a black owned business that offers a quaint location with inviting atmosphere. The food was impeccable. Everything I got was a must try so I don't know how I'm going to try everything else when I'm hooked the first time. Get the cinnamon rolls and the oatmeal crème pies. read more

I pre ordered. The items were ready on time. They tasted pretty good. I haven't been in a while, but would try again.

I can't believe we have been missing out! I rarely take Beckley from the Methodist Dallas Medical Center complex to my home after appointments. It seems like there's been construction for YEARS. But with that over, at least for now, I SAW you today. A sweets goods bakery! Amazing. First let me address the parking. Unless you bike or walk here; there's an alley parking lot or several well marked curbside spots for call in orders. Then you hike around the house to the front. Also, I didn't see a handicapped access. There is a back door; but it's not marked in any way for access and the front is all steep steps. They do deliver, however, and of course, there's curbside pickup. So Kessler Baking Studio has been there for 7 years! The Baker/owner was a 2020 James Beard semi-finalist nominee for Outstanding Baker. I won't go into everything he offers in all those incredible apothecary jars. There's a fabulous website for that! I do understand that on Saturdays, though, Baker Greenhouse offers Breakfast Sandwiches (on his homemade biscuits) along with cinnamon rolls and pop tarts and muffins and other assorted special items. Check it out. Huge cookies are $3. Enormous circular Blondies and Brownies are $6 - $9 depending on whether they have nuts (I think). There's biscotti and pecan shortbread in the shape of Texas and take home cookie dough. I have to confess that we ate parts of everything we purchased from this cornucopia of baker's confections, so there are no pics of those items. They were too tempting. We bought a giant Oatmeal Cream Pie for $5 - 2 oatmeal cookies with basically a vanilla buttercream frosting center. Rich! I had a terrific Lemon Snickerdoodle. My husband bought one of those soft super chocolatey Brownies and a White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookie. Gracious!! You have to pace yourself. Service was welcoming, helpful, informative and fun. We enjoyed our time in the store and although we don't live in the neighborhood, we will be back when we are. read more

Super cute shop! I discovered it when i downloaded the toogoodtogo app yesterday and got some discounted cookies! I got $18 worth of cookies (6) for $6 and i think they were maybe a day old? Im so excited to keep visiting this shop and cant believe i hadn't heard of them until yesterday. I asked if they had any gluten free goodies since my mom was flying in and they have 3 cookies and a rice krispy treat that are. I got my mom all three cookies and she has been really enjoying them! I tried the chocolate nutella one and it was super tasty!! Of the normal/day old cookies we tried the sprinkles one and the white chocolate macadamia one and they are both super tasty! Will definitely be back for more!! read more

The young lady that was behind the counter was probably the baker because when my husband and I went she gave us a run down of all the cookies and how they were baked which I appreciated a lot because I like to know what's going to be in every bite. We got like 5 cookies and a brownie that we swore would last us at least 3 days but alas, we ate 85% of the batch that evening and had a bite of brownie and one whole cookie for the next day. Just for the record, those cookies and the brownie were as big as my hand. No ragerts. 12/10 would recommend. read more

Let me first say that the service was great. I ordered online but the woman at the register was really sweet. I ordered the gluten free cookies (gluten sensitivity). I got all of the flavors and honestly I wasn't a huge fan of any of them. The chocolate chip and pb were kinda dry and harder. The flavor of the pb one was really good tho! The Nutella one was pretty good, it was soft and chocolatey. read more

Great food and service provided! Please support this business as a small gem hidden in our community.

Delicious cookies! Lots of varieties. It's a nice, simple gift to bring to hosts to thank them for the invitation to their home.

This is the most delicious cookie I have EVER had. I've had cookies from manyyy places and this one by far is the most delicious. I recommend this cookie to everyone when they come to visit Dallas and I definitely recommend you try this if you're reading this. Enjoy! read more

Kessler Baking Studio - Oatmeal Chocolate Toffee Cookie - Desserts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is my third time trying their cookies. I use an app called too good to go and basically the food form different shops and restaurants that will be thrown out get bagged and you get to try items for a discount. So the bags are usually $5.99 for like 8 big cookies. This time I got a pecan muffin, oatmeal cream cookie sandwich and a variety of fall flavored cookies of 7. So I got 9 different cookies/ baked goods from their menu. Each cookie I have had I loved it, they are fresh, you can taste they are homemade and the owner is always really nice. I will be buying a group order to take home to Houston with me for the holidays! read more

BAIT AND SWITCH. I was pleased with the Kessler cookies I purchased while visiting Dallas. So much so that when I returned back to Oklahoma I ordered a dozen via mail. For 12 cookies I paid $64.90 (no charge for shipping) which was a splurge and an indulgence. HOWEVER, upon arrival, the cookies were 1/3 the size of the ones sold at the store. See pics. I NEVER would have paid such an exorbitant price ($64.90) for 12 miniature sized cookies. I called the store to speak with the owner Clyde on a Saturday. I was told he wasn't in at the moment so I left a message. Because I didn't hear back, I called the next day and spoke briefly with Clyde. I barely had a chance to introduce myself and state the issue before he interrupted me and blamed everything on the shipping service he uses called Goldbelly. He then immediately put me on hold because he said he had a customer in the store. I happily agreed to wait for him. Then suddenly I heard someone pick up the phone then hang up on me. I was surprised but thought he would call me back since I introduced myself and he has all of my contact information which he used to sign me up for text notifications (without my permission). The whole call registered at 1 minute on my caller ID, I've been waiting about half an hour, and I haven't heard back. Update: he called me back, was extremely rude with a nasty attitude, took no responsibility, blamed the phone hang up on his phone system, blamed the size disparity on Goldbelly, and condescendingly and loudly lectured me as if I were the problem. I was a customer with nothing but nice things to say but his treatment of me was unfair, hostile, abusive, and unacceptable. read more

I admit, the first time I saw the images of their brownies, I thought they'd be dry and cakey. But I took the leap of faith, bolstered by everyone's positive reviews, only to find that the brownies here are absolutely delicious. Moist, fudgey and fun - I had the peanut butter brownie which essentially had a pb cookie inside - what a lovely surprise! Have been back a few times already, and the service is always warm and friendly. Also remember to grab some frozen cookie packs to keep in the freezer for some midweek treats! read more

Oh I love it here. I popped in here on a whim and am now fully addicted. They have a huge variety of cookies, brownies, and (I recently learned cinnamon rolls). On my first trip I grabbed an assortment of cookies for my family and now they ask me to stop before Sunday dinner every week! Their faves are the ELemonader, the white chocolate macadamia, and the oatmeal cranberry walnut however I am OBSESSED with the Rice Krispy treats. Seriously obsessed. It's a problem. They also have the giant bottles of vanilla extract that are made with Mexican vanilla and add a layer of complexity to your at home treats. This place is awesome and it feels like I'm gushing at this point but definitely a customer forever. My next goal is to finally catch their ever elusive focaccia rounds! Pro tip- be sure to check out the super cool cookie jars! (But don't touch) read more

These are not you average size cookie but, they taste just like Big Mama was back there baking. Oooh Sooo Good. I highly recommend Kessler Baking Studio.

Kessler Baking Studio - Oatmeal Chocolate Toffey - Desserts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Kessler Baking Studio is a Dallas Gem and yes, it's worth the drive DFW suburbanites. The baked goods Mr. Clyde and his staff are the best in town, which is why I drive from Murphy/Richardson to Oak Cliff 3 or 4 times a month to get the best cinnamon rolls, banana nut bread, oatmeal cream pies, cookies and brownies in town. They have more baked goods of course, but those treats are my favorite. The frozen cinnamon rolls are AMAZING! They thaw and reheat like fresh out of the oven rolls, and they stay fresh in freezer. Longest stretch I have stored them is 8 weeks, and they are amazing everytime. The banana nut bread freezes well too. Those stay fresh for up to 3 months in the freezer. I always stock up when I visit Kessler, because the quality of the cinnamon rolls and banana nut bread is so much higher than most places. The cinnamon rolls have a nice buttery dough, plenty of brown sugar, gooey filling, and a nice crunchy sugar for added texture, and of course generously iced. The banana nut bread is perfect combination of butter and bananas, also a crunchy crystallized sugar makes for a sweet and textural nirvana. I have visited almost every bakery on Dallas Eater and Observer's best of list, (and yes, Kessler is on those lists), and Kessler is my favorite. Another detail, Mr. Clyde and his staff are genuinely nice people. And in a busy, rushed world that may be the sweetest treat of all. read more

Kessler Baking Studio - Three 2 packs of frozen cinnamon rolls, 2 banana nut breads. - Desserts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Kessler is hands down one of my absolute favorite bakeries, and definitely the one I stop by the most. Everything I've tried has been delicious. From the shortbread and monster individual cookies (they're HUGE yall) down to the biscotti. Most of the times when we'd stopped by previously Clyde himself was in the building and would always take the time to ask how we'd been and to catch up. All of his employees are the same! Everyone is always so nice and friendly, they never rush you to make decisions or act like you've been in the building for too long. The very first time we stopped by we had a ton of questions because there was just so much to choose from. One of my goals is to try every cookie flavor on the menu at least once, I've gotten through a decent amount of the list so far but there's still plenty of eating to do lol. Now that COVID has turned 2020 into one of social distancing, customers are no longer allowed inside the bakery itself for the time being, but you can still head up to the front door to see the menu and make purchases. The employees are still top notch and while you might not be able to browse the selection by seeing which cookie or brownie calls from you amongst the glass jars they're kept in, they still do their best to help you to explain the flavors and offerings to you and to offer recommendations if you're not quite sure what you're in the mood for. They also offer online ordering and let you schedule a day for pick-up. Online ordering was already offered previously but with everything going on this year, it's definitely a more robust system now. Another reason it's so easy to support Kessler, aside from all the delicious baked goods of course, is how openly and proudly they stand for diversity and inclusivity. Clyde and his team do not back down from supporting social causes or taking a stand for what they believe in. It's always great to support businesses that hold the same morals and values that you do! Last, but certainly not least, Cinnamon Roll Saturday!!! My favorite day of the week. Some of the best I've ever had, and the cream cheese frosting is good enough to eat even without the cinnamon rolls themselves. They go quick so you definitely want to order them online as soon as go up for the following week. Sales used to go up on Sunday but sometimes it starts Saturday evening. Follow their instagram if you really want to stay up to date cause they sell out quick, fast and in a hurry. read more
