We were in Poughkeepsie, had lunch and inquired if there was a panaderia (bakery) that carried…read moreMexican breads and pastries. There is one particular roll called a Bolillo that we've looked for in several Mexican neighborhoods; in the northeast. It looks like a small French bread; very popular in Mexico City. Spoke to the owner and it was a little late in the day for them. Most are sold to restaurants. I have to be back in Poughkeepsie Monday. She's going to save a half a dozen for me. The place looks very clean and well organized. I noticed that they had off to the side, the tongs and pizza serving trays. Go to any bakery in CDMX, and you'll see the same thing. It kind of gives the place authenticity. The weekend has passed and we're here for the Bolillos. The owner had a 1/2 dz. of them aside for us. 6 for $6. very reasonable. Can't wait to turn one into a torta, Mexican sandwich. : )

There was also this raspberry bar that I forgot the name of but it was crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, that one was definitely our favorite. Also it's so cute inside! All pink with what seemed like a hand-built cabana decoration around the register. Everyone was super friendly, and I'll definitely be back to share these amazing desserts with some friends and family. Sorry all the desserts pictured already have bites taken out! Couldn't resist!

When we reached I asked them if they had anything left since the display looked empty. We bought one yuzu tart and one coffee/chocolate based tart. For the first time in my life non chocolate flavor was my first choice. It was soo delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and would surely go to try on the remaining desserts. People who worked there were nice too plus ambiance is very cute! Went there again the second time and trust me their desserts are exceptional. Great flavor, amazing desserts.

I'm not gonna lie--this whole dinner was part of a very specific mission. I was craving ribs, and…read morewhen I saw this place not only had them but also served hibiscus lemonade, I made the executive decision to have my family drive to Poughkeepsie from our bed & breakfast just to check it out. Worth it? Mostly, yes! Food: 4/5 We tried a little bit of everything, the Seared chicken breast - Hands down my favorite dish of the night. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and flavorful. Followed by the Bacon, egg, and homemade biscuit - A close second! The biscuit was dense and satisfying, and it had a really unique pesto-like sauce on top that made it memorable. Some other shout outs: 1) Orecchiette veggie pasta - Orecchiette is hard to find on menus, so I was delighted to see it here. It was a nice light option among our heavier dishes. 2) Jerk ribs - OK, so this is where my expectations and reality didn't fully align. They were well-cooked, but I'm a saucy girl, and these weren't as slathered or juicy as I'd hoped. That said, the rest of my table really enjoyed them. Also, that hibiscus lemonade? Chef's kiss. Refreshing and flavorful, and exactly the kind of detail that makes a place stand out to me. Service: 4/5 Now, here's where I was really surprised: one person was running the whole show. The head chef was managing the kitchen and the front of house--no servers, no extra help. Just him. For the amount of work that entails, he crushed it. Was it a bit slower than a staffed restaurant? Of course. But honestly, it gave the whole experience a humble, homegrown vibe that I appreciated. Also, it meant a lot to support a Black-owned restaurant and actually connect with the person behind the food. Final Thoughts: While we came for dinner, I could tell from the menu (and the vibe) that this place is really known for brunch. I'm genuinely curious to come back during brunch hours to see how the energy--and menu--might shift. Either way, it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a spot with heart, flavor, and soul.
