Loveee this place! The view from the place overlooking the Hudson River is beautiful…read more I have been wanting to visit this place for a couple of months. Thankfully it was today and I loved it! The ambiance is beautiful. Neat. I got to meet the owner's granddaughter Gigi. She was the sweetest. She runs the place. We arrived at the place around 3 pm, and all the baked goods were sold out. We were lucky to try the almond croissant and the chocolate orange biscotti. Both were yummy. We tried their hazelnut coffee and macadamia nut coffee - both were great. I can't wait to come back to try more baked goodies.

The two times I went, there were a few patrons with toddlers playing with games/toys making the vibe less conducive for quietly reading or working, FYI. The baristas served not only great tasting coffee, but it looked amazing too! I ordered a drip coffee with oat milk and in my second visit, the cortado. The pastries were fresh looking but most had hazelnut or Nutella in them on the first visit (I'm allergic). They had a new selection of pastries on my second trip but sadly I didn't have any. Nice space that's modern and a great addition to the PK area.

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. : )

Krafted Kup is one of those neighborhood gems that instantly makes you feel at home. Right by…read moreVassar, it's the perfect cozy spot to post up with your laptop for a study session, catch up on work, or just chat with a friend over a great cup of coffee. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming -- a mix of students, locals, and regulars who all seem to know it's the place to be. The coffee selection is fantastic with lots of variety -- from perfectly pulled espressos to fun seasonal specials. I also really appreciate that the food here goes beyond the basics; everything I've tried has been fresh and satisfying, making it a great option for breakfast or lunch. And shoutout to their loyalty program -- the stamp card is such a nice touch! It's one of those little things that makes you look forward to coming back again and again. Whether you're in need of caffeine, comfort, or a cozy place to get things done, Krafted Kup never disappoints. A true Poughkeepsie staple!

Had this bookmarked for our trip because of all of the rave reviews. We stopped in for dinner…read moreSaturday March 21 and there was barely anyone requiring service. After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.

We love it here. I have to say the bike ride over the Hudson and landing here is half the appeal…read more The food offerings are pretty good and come in great big portions. They have a short tap list on a chalk board over the bar area but a massive bottle and can list. Truly a beer enthusiast paradise. Prices vary but pretty much run $6-$9 per beer. Outdoor, Indoor and bar seating available, and the option to seat yourself. The vibes are perfectly set, cozy interior and chilled out tunes. Servers are fast and always kind. Definitely my new go to. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress

Cute cozy coffee shop with a lot of toffee and snacks…read more We were confused about what to pick and the lady at the cafe suggested us. She was super sweet. We tried their Fika which was nice. Not too sweet but perfect and she suggested pairing it up with a cardamom bun. It was perfect. We also tried their mushroom coffee with hazelnut syrup. It was delicious and did not feel like we were drinking mushroom coffee.

The woman at counter was very sweet and funny, felt welcomed, not rushed or sold on anything. Just…read moregot my bag and scoop and picked out my goodies, since Swedish sweets are not sold in bulk in much places, so this place was definitely worth it, better then just buying bags with no variety elsewhere. Plus they had variety you can't find online easily as well. Tried their blueberry lemonade it was refreshing and just the right amount of sweet. Definitely would like try baked goods next time since I got a pound of candy and like yeah am done. The place is pretty chill to relax in and very low traffic so you can enjoy in peace

By the time we left the cafe was packed, we later learned classes let out at either 1:30pm or 3pm which accounted for the increased traffic. You order from the counter, receive a number, and wait for someone to bring your food, we did not wait long for our food to arrive and the students working front of the house asked if we needed anything and quickly attended to our needs. The fired artichoke hearts were the standout. Perfectly breaded and fried, they were spectacular without the dipping sauce! Don't get me wrong the sauce was great and added layers of taste but you didn't need it to make the dish better. The street Corn Salad was generous but it a salad. It's not that I wouldn't recommend but keep your expectations low!

We ordered the Caribbean beef stew and the short rib grilled cheese--the stew was delicious, though the grilled cheese was a bit on the salty side. The pastry selection is also impressive, with plenty of tempting options to choose from. Overall, I had a great experience here. Just note that during lunchtime, the line can get long--you might need to wait around 10-15 minutes.
