The pink patisserie at 308 Burro Avenue. Owner-baker Kenna Leonard has run it as Cloudcroft's daily walk-in bakery for years now. Pastries and coffee in the morning, cookies and cupcakes through the afternoon, custom cakes on order, and gluten-free options that aren't an afterthought.
The pink bakery on Burro that locals fold into their daily routine. A walk-in stop, not appointment-only — though the custom-cake side runs alongside the case.
"A cinnamon roll and a coffee. It's the most-cited item from the local coverage, and at 7 AM you'll get it warm enough to eat on the walk back up Burro."
Cinnamon roll + coffee
"A box of cupcakes, plus a slice of pie if the case has one that day. The rented-cabin after-dinner move — and it travels well in a paper box on the dashboard."
Cupcakes + a slice of pie
"Call about a custom cake. The bakery flags custom cakes specifically — birthdays, weddings, anniversaries. Plan a few days out, not the morning of."

Open Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 5 PM. Closed Sunday. The early open is what makes it work as a daily morning stop. If a Sunday matters, plan a different bakery — call ahead before any off-season weekday too.
Mid-block on the Burro Avenue strip, between Western Bar and the 500-block cluster. A pink storefront — hard to miss once you're walking the boardwalk. Walkable from anywhere in the village, three doors east of Black Bear Coffee.

What KennaBelles actually does well, and when another bakery on the strip is the better call.
The pink storefront on Burro Ave, the case, and the boardwalk approach. Photos verified April 2026.
Posted hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 5 PM. Closed Sunday. Older Cloudcroft Reader coverage flagged the early weekday open as part of the bakery's role in local routine, and the current village dining listings still hold the 7 AM to 5 PM, Monday–Saturday line.
Hours can shift in shoulder season. Before any off-season weekday drive up the hill, a quick call to (575) 682-2712 or a glance at the bakery's Facebook page or Instagram confirms the day.
KennaBelles runs as a walk-in bakery. You can step in off Burro Avenue, look at the case, and leave with pastries, cookies, cupcakes, or a slice. That's the daily mode, and it's how most locals use it.
The custom-cake side is separate. The village listings call out custom cakes and orders specifically, which means birthdays, weddings, and event cakes are part of what the bakery does. Plan a few days out and call to set timing — same-day cake work isn't guaranteed.
Owner-baker Kenna Leonard runs the bakery, confirmed as still operating it as of April 2026 by local input. The shop has been a daily fixture in Cloudcroft for years — Cloudcroft Reader's 2023 feature called it part of the local morning routine, and the 2025 grocery-and-pantry roundup still names it as one of the village's core bakery options.
The pink front is the navigation cue. The village dining listings tell visitors to follow their nose to the pink patisserie at 308 Burro Ave, and that holds — once you're on the boardwalk, the storefront does the work for you.
Gluten-free options are on the village dining listings. The full daily list rotates, so the answer at the counter on a given day is the answer that matters — ask when you order.
Menu items confirmed for 2026: pastries, cookies, cupcakes, croissants, kolaches, and fresh-baked pies. Cinnamon rolls and pistachio bread show up consistently in editorial and traveler coverage. Daily availability for any specific item should be treated as not guaranteed — bakery cases shift by what's coming out of the oven that morning.
KennaBelles serves coffee alongside the bakery items, but it's a bakery first — not a specialty-coffee program. If you want a full barista bar with seasonal drinks, Black Bear Coffee is three doors west at 200 Burro. If you want pastry and a workable cup, KennaBelles handles both inside one stop.
This is a quick-stop bakery. There's not a sit-down dining room built around long stays. Most visitors box up their order or eat on the boardwalk.
"KennaBelles is the Burro Avenue bakery that locals fold into their daily routine — not a destination dessert stop, not a custom-order-only shop, but a working walk-in bakery that opens at 7 AM and stays open through the afternoon. The pink storefront makes it easy to find. The case is what's worth finding. And if you want a cake for an occasion in town, this is the bakery that runs that side of the business too."
Call ahead for custom cakes, or follow on social for the day's case. Walk-ins welcome, Monday through Saturday from 7 AM.
