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

The E-Lemonader cookie has a place in my heart! The owner was cool. The shop is also in a nice location too. It'll be a tough task for me to not make a stop here daily! read more

This is my new favorite cookie spot! I had the Kesslerdoodle and tried the banana nut bread. Easily I give both a 10/10. The Kesslerdoodle is not overly sweet and is so moist. Now the banana bread, easily the best I've tasted and I love banana bread. The employee was extremely helpful even with all of our questions. It gives off a small homey vibe when you enter. I will for sure be back! read more

Finally had an opportunity to try the cinnamon rolls which are only available on Saturdays by preorder and they were absolutely delicious!! The online orders open on Saturday afternoons (for the following weekend) I believe and the cinnamon rolls tend to sell out fast. And before you ask, yes it's definitely worth the calories!! Side note: the building which is an older renovated house is super cute with cookie adorned stairs leading up to all the deliciousness!! read more

Decided to stop in for some sweet treats! Ummm yessss! So many different flavors. We got the lemon, chocolate chip, oatmeal raise cranberry, Texas shortbread (pecan) and a cream pie. Omg sooooo freaking good. That damn oatmeal cream pie was AUHHHmazing. I sat in the driveway and just ate it (shared with my sister) we died. Soo freaking good. We even went back after eating and got our cousin some treats too. The place is soo cute and the owner was super nice. I am annoyed that my cousin text me saying thank you, so I told her the flavors and she informed me that the blonde was not included, which I paid for. If I wasn't already back in plano, I would've turned around to get it. He must of accidentally forgot to add it. Oh well I guess. I will however be back bc the cream pie was beyond yummy plus there's a lot of flavors I wanna try. read more

You ever went somewhere and customers are so happy to be there that they are telling you how good everything is, well that was my experience at Kessler. The baking studio is located in a quaint house, and the owner is a charming man. It doesn't hurt that we share Louisiana roots. The cinnamon rolls are to die for, and the cookies are phenomenal. Kessler can satisfy anybody's sweet tooth! read more

I have not had the pleasure of visiting Kessler Baking Studio in person yet, but I'm lucky a friend picked me the create your own half dozen cookie box to try (you can order in advance online)! Overall, the cookies were large, moist, and delicious. The perfect combination of a slightly crisp exterior and soft middle. At $16.50 for the box, they come out around $2.75 per cookie, which is a fair price for the size and taste of these cookies. These will definitely be my new go-to cookies in Dallas! Power-ranking (as you may be able to tell, chocolate is my favorite): 1. Oatmeal Chocolate Toffee: Like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, but next level. 2. Hot Chocolate: The habanero infused sugar has quite the kick, but adds great flavor. Watch out if you put your tongue directly on the sugar when you first take a bite. 3. Chocolate Chip: A delicious classic. 4. Kesslerdoodle: Great take on a snickerdoodle. 5. Vanilla Sugar: Simple, but yummy. 6. Oak Cliff Ranger: I was most excited to try this cookie, but most disappointed in it. For me the oats, coconut, and nuts all together dried the cookie out compared to the others. I think I would have liked it more if it didn't have nuts, but I'm not a huge nut person in general. On my next visit, I definitely want to add Double Chocolate Espresso and Triple Chocolate to my order! read more

You know when you have a craving for a cinnamon roll and you must have one? When we were staying in the Bishop Arts District I had this craving and set out to find the best cinnamon roll possible. Kessler Baking Studio did not disappoint on any level. The cinnamon rolls are delicious. Very hearty and robust. Lot's of flavor and frosting. We ordered a few of the regular cinnamon rolls and a few specialty rolls (pecan and salted caramel I think). They were excellent. One note is that you have to pre-order the cinnamon rolls and they are only available on Saturdays which is a bit annoying. You can try to show up and get some on Saturdays, but they likely will be out. When I tried to just show up I did not get the cinnamon rolls I was craving but I did get some biscotti (amazing) and brownies. Honestly, everything was delicious. You should definitely try them out. read more

Cookie lovers dream turned into a nightmare of shocking disappointment :/. I must say everything was in line for this bakery but they lose stars for taste. Located in a residential area with a few other restaurants. It is in a house, very cute homely feel; we saw it on our way to our brunch location and immediatelydecided to go there afterwards. Once you enter you are greeted by a very clean store, stylish and very appealing set up. The girl at the counter was fantastic, super friendly and helpful. She told us every flavor they offered and gave suggestions when we needed help deciding. They have a large selection of options, which includes a number of great flavor combinations. The cookies are a pretty big and perfectly shaped; about $3 a cookie (which is standard for a bakery cookie). Now I must say that I am a big cookie lover! Cookies are my thing. I came with a group of four people, we eat got at least two cookies, I tried all of them. Every single one of them was dry, lackluster in flavor ... just disappointing. I had a Honey Roasted Peanut Peanut Butter cookie, dry and barely any peanut butter flavor. I tried a Cowboy cookie dry and just not good. They all had a dry flour-y taste, I was shocked! They all looked so good but the cookies at Target and Publix are much better. I am not exactly sure what it was about them (other than the dryness) but they were not good; definitely not bakery level $3 cookies. When we got back home we warm up the cookies and a few of them were more enjoyable. Maybe their brownies are good but definitely not their cookies. read more

Best shortbread cookies & great service! I discovered them via Goldbelly but placed my order online directly on kesslerbakingstudio.com which was easy to use. My husband was having to travel to Dallas on his birthday and I wanted to surprise him with something special delivered to his hotel. They did a fantastic job and he loved the variety of their shortbread cookies- they were larger than expected and amazingly delicious! read more

Love love love these cookies!! I picked up a snickerdoodle and an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from the adorable Kessler Baking Studio, and they were both so excellent! I loved how soft and chewy they were - with the perfect balance of salty and sweet. The employee working was super friendly and nice, and he told me all about the different cookie flavors. They have a ton of different cookies and other baked goods, and I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Love, love ,love! I worked with the team to find the perfect pairing for a tea tasting and they were so patient. I was outside of the service area to deliver and they took the extra step to ask the driver could he do it for an extra cost. I really appreciated that. I love the inclusive culture and mission. I am mindful of supporting black owned businesses and those who mission and values align. This one is a winner for sure. read more

Last Friday I went to an event hosted by Kessler Baking Studio and Potent Pours, a mobile mixologist and I had the best time! I enjoyed tasting the special made sweet treats paired with the custom cocktails The first pairing was a margarita donut paired with a hibiscus margarita.. Margaritas are my faves regardless but that delicious moist donut with a bit of tang and sweetness paired beautifully with the hibiscus margarita... The second pairing was a hot chocolate cupcake and a Chambord Paloma. Y'all the cupcake was amazing.. it had a hint of spice and the paloma was SO refreshing! Clyde the owner of Kessler Baking Studio was extremely friendly along with the owner of Potent Pours. I look forward to the next event they host and hopefully getting back to the bakery to get some of their yummy looking baked goods. read more

It all started with a brownie. I had a craving for chocolate, and one night, I noticed KBS on my Favor app. I realized I could have brownies AND milk AND cookies delivered to my house. That was about 20 brownies ago. I finally made it into the store in person, and it is so darn cute. The pastry chef, the man behind the sweets, well, he's always there! He has a great approach, and each treat that I've had has been so divine. 100% I am here for these brownies man. I can't make them like this. I don't have the stuff. Literally. But, if you wanted the stuff (Mexican vanilla), well he sells it by the bottle! For Valentine's Day, there were two things that could be special ordered which aren't on the menu full time. My husband surprised me with one today! He said "go to your brownie place; they'll have something special for you". I thought it would be a heart shaped cookie or something. Nah. My hubs ordered a full salted caramel and chocolate torte. It's like a gourmet Twix. I can't even. It's so good. And of course, the whole crew were working. They even carried the torte to my car for me because I had filled up my purse and hands with brownies hahaha! This is a place that takes so much pride in their food. It's amazing. read more

They're quite big so don't be fooled, for $4 you are certainly getting your money's worth for some fresh flavor!

Me: I have to break up with you. Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut: why? Me: maybe not breakup but I can't see you for a while. Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut: I understand. You put in alot of work. Me: you have been that good to me but I gotta get back to it. Like once a month as a treat for the more hard work I gotta put in to deserve you. End of the month though- lol. It's 11/27/18 Hey I recommend this bakery. I had to open up my review this way because OMG- I first walked in here really not that long ago for the first time thinking it was something else. I was like ahh man but quickly change my mind a few cookies trips later. I've tried several since then and the Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut is yes my favorite. They do have a good selection to choose from. They sell different cookies by days or even by times of the year. So you have to check out the schedule to see if yours are sold on that day. I would say come in for you favorite and try another. If you like brownies and different flavored nuts they have them as well. They have items on the wall as well but I tend to have tunnel vision. I knows what I like- I eye it- and I gets it. Service is alway great. They will of course tell you about any cookies or items you ask about. There is a incline pathway with stairs leading to the front door. I normally park on the side of the building because its quicker. If you love sweets this is a great place to come too. read more

Kessler Cookie Company is a bakery that specializes in cookies located in Oak Cliff. It's a charming shop with nice, oversized cookies. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kessler Cookie Company is a converted house. The living room serves as the main area, and you'll find an assorted number of cookies in big glass jars. There's a delectable smell throughout. My main complaint is that it's tough to get to. There's minimal parking and you have to walk up a hill (sidewalk under construction). Also it would be nice if there were a small table/chair just in case you want to sit around and snack. 1/2 Star. Service - The owner/baker was super nice, and most important, he was excited & proud to show off his cookies. They also do large cater orders, but we were there just to sample. You can tell how much passion they have and you know it translates to the cookies. 1 Star. Food - The cookies are quite large. I'd say they're at least 5 inches in diameter. Honestly, I ate mine too fast to really remember. They're nice and soft in the middle, with generous amounts to ingredients (e.g. chocolate chips, etc.). I microwaved mine for 15 seconds, dipped them in milk, and was immediately transformed back into a 10 year old kid sampling a freshly baked warm cookie while washing it down with ice cold milk. My favorites were the Kessler-doodle, chocolate chip, & oatmeal raisin. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Maybe when I'm in the area. While I loved Kessler Cookie Company, its location will keep me from being a regular. If I'm ever in the area, it's an automatic visit. I just can't see myself going out of my way to Oak Cliff ONLY for a cookie run. Having said that, if you're in the area or perhaps finishing a meal in Bishop Arts, pass on the dessert & make a short drive to experience the goodness of Kessler Cookie Company. 1/2 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score. read more

I placed an order as a gift to a business and ordered it for delivery. When the delivery driver arrived at the address I provided and saw that the business had moved, they called and texted me, and took it to the second location.

I've ordered several times from Kessler baking and always had amazing experiences. The baked goods are delicious, and the service has made me a loyal customer. read more

I placed an order online to pick up 6 cookies (variety) and also 2 shortbread cookies. I've never been to the bakery before, but was pleasantly surprised to see such a cute house on a corner that serves as its bakery. We were greeted by a staff member who provided us our curbside pickup order, along with a little something extra (some biscotti!) The 6 pack of cookies were a hit or miss for me. I had ordered the chocolate chip pecan, double chocolate espresso, kesslerdoodle (their version of snickerdoodle), oak cliff ranger (oats, coconut, etc), hot chocolate (spicy!) and the triple chocolate. Out of the 6, I enjoyed the chocolate chip pecan and the kesslerdoodle the most and would order those again. What stood out more was the shortbread cookies and the vanilla biscotti, WOW. With the shortbread, you can taste that GOOD butter. I loved how chewy the cookie was. The biscotti was complimentary, but definitely something I would purchase a lot of. It had a perfectly hard and crispy texture, and the sweet and buttery taste of the discotti was divine. Overall, this was a great bakery to have tasted in Dallas. While I wasn't too much of a fan of the cookies (I guess I really just love classic cookies), I really loved the shortbread cookies and the biscotti. I would definitely make the drive from Plano to Dallas to get those again. Thank you! read more

First time trying Kessler's cookies and they are delicious! He really gets to know the customers and was so helpful. He must've known it was my first time there and he took extra time to explain the ingredients. I wanted to try everything but got the Oak Cliff ranger and peanut butter chocolate chip. The oak cliff ranger is like a monster cookie-it was two types of nuts and chocolate chips, you can't go wrong with it! The peanut butter chocolate chip tastes just like it sounds! Both cookies were so moist and melt in your mouth as you eat them. I can't wait to go back and try more. He even has brownies and blondies, so I'll try that next time. read more

Be prepared if you get the brownie. It looks big and you'll think, "oh I'll just eat some and save some for later". No. You are going to eat that whole brownie. It happens to me every time. That brownie is SO GOOD!! My favorite is the pecan brownie but honestly anyone of them are a delight. They are chocolatey, moist, but also lightly dense. Delicious. I'm really not a shortbread person but one day I tried both the pecan shortbreads and also the oatmeal toffee and I crave them both now. The shortbreads are buttery with the perfect amount of vanilla and sugar. I also enjoy the gingerbread oatmeal chocolate chip biscotti with coffee. Also if you are lucky enough to get your hands on a cinnamon roll you are in for a treat. Crispy outside with flaky soft buttery layers and good quality cinnamon. They sell out fast! read more

Amazing sweets! I have been here multiple times.. I have tried brownies cookies and rice crispy treats. You ask where are the pics. My response I ate my treats to quick!

This is my almost-every-Saturday-morning breakfast place and I have nicknamed the owner 'Biscuit Bae.' The biscuits are AMAZING!!! I normally order the egg & cheese. The biscuit is large and moist on the interior, just the right amount of crisp on the exterior with (I'm assuming) a brush of salted butter on top. The egg-to-biscuit ratio is perfect, the cheese is melty and the house-made jam (apple or berry) is almost like a fantastic pie filling, not overly sweet....each time I've indulged I've not been disappointed. The cinnamon rolls and Rice Krispies treats, both original AND strawberry are AMAZING as well!!!!!! read more

This is my FAVORITE bakery! Clyde, the owner, is an absolute delight and never fails to greet you with a smile. I have many here so many times and never had anything that I did not like. The cookies are great especially their seasonal treats, but by far the Brownies are the best!! Everyone there is so helpful and even though I fail to give enough notice when I need a cookie or Brownie tin (24 hours min people) Clyde still comes through for me. I brought some to my office for Small Business Week today and have also had tins for my son's birthday. If you haven't been you need to make a trip to this charming little place! Everything is fresh, made with local ingridents and natural! But, I guarantee they won't last long enough for you to even figure out their shelf life! Lol read more

This place is suuuuh cute as was the gentleman that helped us, whom I assume was the owner. We are just in town for the weekend and staying right around the corner. Got there right when they opened, to his surprise lol. Well, my friend and I bought all the things. Chocolate chip, hot chocolate, oatmeal chocolate toffee, oatmeal cranberry walnut, vanilla sugar, e-lemonader, blondie, and peanut butter brownie. The consistency of everything was exactly how I wanted to be. My favorite was the vanilla sugar for sure, followed closely by the oatmeal cranberry walnut. My friends favorite was the e-lemonader (we both love lemon, and I actually could have gone for a little more lemon). Overall, happy. I would definitely come back if ever in the area. read more

What a wonderful little bakery with an enormous selection of cookies! We chose many to try but the one that stands out above them all is the brownie. It was so rich and chocolatey. Milk is a must!
