Products & Services
On the coast of Southern California, in Ports of Call Village, people gather from all over to relax and enjoy the clear skies, fresh air, and the picturesque atmosphere of the sea. It is here that Kelly's began at the water's edge as a quaint New England style shop.
The fresh aroma of home-style fudge soon began to lead crowds of hungry customers to Kelly's. As onlookers watched, kettles of freshly cooked fudge poured into pans and folded into loaves for sale to the anxiously awaiting customers. This was the forerunner of a new and expanded concept, and "Kelly's Coffee & Fudge Factory" was born.
This concept not only blended the rich aroma of freshly roasted and brewed gourmet coffee with the sweet smell of home-made fudge, it added the spicy aroma of fresh baked pastry to tease the senses. Thus, the perfect compliment to the fudge and candy operation was created.
The high-quality product assortment includes gourmet coffee drinks (hot, cold or frozen), specialty teas, a wide variety of fudge, baked goods, homemade candies, caramel apples and Rice Krispies Treats. Everything is manufactured daily on the premises to ensure freshness.
Kelly's coffees are of the highest grade (species Arabica AA&A), with the customer's order filled directly from the roaster to produce the freshest coffee available. The company also offers complete coffee brewing accessories, espresso pots, filers, grinders, cups and other paraphernalia, as well as a selection of bulk (loose) and stash (bags) teas.
