Kelly Cannoli Just Closed Its Ballard Bridge Location | Eater Seattle

"I saw the sign out front that the Interbay location of Kelly Cannoli has shut down after losing its lease; its last day was April 30. Owner Kelly McGinty Wilson says she opened the stand on 15th Avenue West next to the Ballard Bridge (the former location of Java Jazz) under the impression the land wouldn’t be developed, but six months after opening she lost the lease abruptly and the property will now be used for tiny homes to house unhoused Seattle residents. The Low Income Housing Institute’s Interbay Village is on the same block, and Eater Seattle reached out to LIHI about whether it was expanding into the former Kelly Cannoli space but had not heard back. McGinty Wilson is planning to rebound quickly—she’s spoken to a couple customers who can help her secure a new location and is considering opening her first walk-in coffee shop on nearby Nickerson Street in the space formerly occupied by Tully’s Coffee—and Seattleites seeking her cannolis or the bagels she flies in from New York can still visit the chain’s other locations." - Harry Cheadle
