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!

Delicious kombucha served on-site at the brewery's tasting room. They have a permanent lineup with…read morefavorites like lavender and ginger as well as rotating seasonal flavors such as chai spice. The unique aspect of their kombucha is that it's all flavored with herbs and spices rather than fruits. They also switch things up by varying the type of tea used to brew the kombucha (green, rooibos, etc.) My favorite was the lavender! Also loved the chamomile mint. The smoked jalapeño (a seasonal release) was also incredible. They also have a few hot tea drinks such as matcha lattes and hojicha lattes. It's a family-run business with a lot of charm and some incredibly tasty flavors. I'm hoping they will start distributing their kombucha to restaurants and shops in NYC. Until then I'll be making the trip up to get my fix!

I went here with trepidation. I have never had kombucha before but I knew I would someday have to…read moretry this fermented beverage. I learned through the brewer that it is fermented tea. I like tea so I'd give it a try. My wife and I got four different ones and shared. I was surprised at how good some of them were and others were just not my (haha) cup of tea. Ironically those were my wife's favorite. For me the rooibos ginger and the smoke jalapeño and lime were my favorites. The wife loved the star anise and orange zest as well as the chamomile and mint. We bought a four pack and enjoyed talking with the brewer and his mom who were really friendly, engaging and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed this place a lot and will definitely stop by whenever we make it into Poughkeepsie. If you're a kombucha fan and especially if, like me, you have never tried it go here and experience it made in an artisanal style and not some mass produced can you'll find at the supermarket. One other thing I appreciated about this place was that they recommended I try the mead shop down the road. Having never tried that we stopped there next!

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

I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and a ham and cheese croissant. My friends ordered other savory pastries and bottled beverages. All our sandwiches were cold in the middle and my matcha was mediocre. It needed more matcha powder. Seeing the other reviews, I should've stuck to a coffee based beverage. All in all the place was okay and the service was adequate. I think my taste buds are spoiled growing up in NYC and LI.

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
