Kristin’s Bistro & Bakery

Kristin’s is absolutely fantastic! Delicious food, cute atmosphere, lovely staff — One of my very favorite places for lunch! (I especially love Kristin’s West, on my side of town!)

EXPENSIVE. Bacon cheddar Grilled cheese is delicious but the baked goods were a bit too fancy for my tastes, but I can see why many people really enjoy them.

Kristin’s Bistro & Bakery is a quaint bakery and café located in Downtown Keene serving breakfast and lunch in a classic and relaxed setting. The staff is welcoming and very friendly.
They offer a good selection and variety of tempting pastries, muffins, croissants, scones, breads, fruit squares, brownies, cookies, pies, and cakes. Made to order sandwiches, salads, soups, chili in a bread bowl, quiche of the day, and ice cream are also served. Bottled juices and water and around 10 flavors of Cool Beans coffee (self serve carafes) are offered here too. The prices are fair for most items. However the sandwiches are priced around $ 9.
There’s self serve table seating inside and a couple tables outside in front of the bakery during nicer weather.
I’ve stopped in here on my drives passing through Keene to enjoy a tasty spinach, cheese, and egg filled croissant (warmed) and an almond croissant (not too sweet, filled with light almond paste) with a hot cup of coffee. I also enjoy a big devil’s food muffin (chocolatey) and a lemon square to snack on for later.
OPEN at 6AM (Mon-​Sat)
