Food was so great and the coffee was delish. Service stands out as exceptional. Wish this was in my town!

Stopped in for hot chocolate on a cold day. Service was good. They gave me hot chocolate with almond milk--happy to have that option. I had a BLT with French fries. Food was good. It was a little chilly inside, that was the only drawback. Ambiance was good, it's a cute small place with lots of good offerings. I chose to stop in because of the variety in the menu. read more

The Poughkeepsie Grind - Dining area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

I wish I'd written this review sooner...I came a few months ago while interviewing for a job. The reviews were great, so I thought it a good idea to stop in for a coffee and a meal. I don't remember now what I ordered, but what I do remember is that I made a mental note to become a regular should I accept a job offer. Well, I did accept an offer and will be back in short order! The food was delicious and the service is quick and friendly. Great spot for a coffee and breakfast. I parked around the corner and walked a minute to get in...parking was tight right in front. read more

The Poughkeepsie Grind - Hot Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

The staff is so friendly and inviting here, always smiling and offering suggestions and while I was eating here, they offered water cups since it was hot and I just had ordered soda. So for the sandwich it was very fresh and piping hot, I had wait for it cool down before eating, never knew I like mushrooms on a breakfast sandwich. Now the Nutella pistachio croissant donut was something I never knew existed but man was it good. So flaky and flavorful with both icing spreads. Honestly all baked good looked good, but have to limit the sweets. Did get a honey pecan croissant bun and it was great, tasted like cinnamon bun with hidden raisins baked in. The candied pecans on tops were delicious and wish they crushed some on the inside roll. The place is pretty cozy and relaxing to enjoy a meal and get out of the sun. read more

Adorable little coffee shop that serves breakfast and lunch. We got a cold brew, an iced latte and a tomato and cheese pastry. .Prices were reasonable and the everything was delicious. Wish I tried their lunch menu. Everything looked good! Definitely recommend this cute place. read more

My husband and I came for coffee and ended up having lunch as well. First, I really liked my brown sugar cinnamon iced latte. They had tons of syrup options (including several seasonal ones) that I look forward to trying in the future. But the food: a game changer! They had good options on their menu, for example, an eggplant parm sandwich and a veggie wrap, but were also open to make other meals that were not on the menu (like an omelet). I ended up ordering the veggie wrap and was able to choose between different options of wraps and cheeses, so you end up being able to have very different wraps according to your choices (which I love). And I cannot stress how good it was! The fries on the side were incredibly delicious, and I suspect they were made from scratch there...so fresh! The tomato and basil wrap was surprisingly flavorful. I really loved it. The staff was very friendly and inviting! As soon as my food arrived, they came to me to say that they forgot to put the feta cheese and asked if they could bring it back to make it right. They came back with another perfect wrap. It all happened so fast that I didn't even have a chance to notice the feta was missing in the first place. I was vibing with the early 2000s playlist they had playing and loved it! After our excellent meal, my husband was asking some questions about the coffee, and we were offered a taste of the "crema di caffe"... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! It was the perfect end for a great time at this place! (Non-vegetarian note: my husband was very happy about his Philly Sandwich) read more

My recent visit to the Poughkeepsie Grind was a pleasant experience. I ordered a mocha, and it was easily one of the best I've had during my trip through the Hudson Valley. It was smooth, rich, chocolatey and not too sweet--exactly how I like it! For breakfast, I ordered the egg and cheese sandwich with Swiss and avocado on a Kaiser roll, and a hash brown patty on the side. At $4.49 for the sandwich plus $1.25 for the avocado, and $1.25 for the hash brown, it felt reasonably priced considering the current economy. The sandwich itself was satisfying--simple but well-made. The hash brown was crisp, and everything came out quick, which I appreciated. The vibe here is laid-back, with a mix of skate and urban art on the walls, although I didn't see any actual skateboarding clientele. Most of the patrons seemed to be in their 30s-50s, and many of them were obviously regulars. The decor features art that feels inspired by skateboarding culture, and I later learned some of the smaller, colorful pieces are created by the barista herself, which adds a nice local touch. The music selection was a decent mix of chill classic rock and older and newer chill pop songs--creating a laid-back coffee vibe. It wasn't what I'd consider typical skater music, but it fit the clientele and the overall atmosphere well. Speaking of the staff, the younger barista was friendly, smiled at everyone, and had a modern skater look going on. There was also an older barista who, despite probably never being on a skateboard, was just as nice and welcoming. They also offer a good selection of pastries, bagels, cookies, muffins, and desserts, along with their small menu of breakfast and lunch items. If I lived nearby, I could see myself making this a regular spot. The food is good, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the service is friendly--definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Fantastic food and service- right by the train station and great place for both food and coffee

Stopped by The Poughkeepsie Grind on a recent trip to the Hudson Valley for breakfast and coffee. They have build your own breakfast sandwiches. I ordered an egg white, turkey bacon, and American cheese breakfast sandwich. It was after noon and they were out of whatever bread/roll they normally serve breakfast sandwiches on so asked if I'd be ok with either a bagel or croissant (more than ok!). So, I ended up with my breakfast sandwich on a bagel. It was delish! I was pretty hungry and got an order of their home fries. First of all--the home fries portion was huge! I happily nibbled some for my breakfast and finished them up later in my hotel room for lunch. In addition to potatoes, they had green peppers and onions. Really, everything one expects from a serving of home fries. I also got their white mocha. It tasted more like a latte (kind of wondered if they forgot the white mocha sauce) but was aok nonetheless. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it! read more

BLT with Avocado ($11), comes with a side a chips. Straight up... Whoever made this sandwich, made it for themselves! It was huge and delicious. The B, L & the T were fresh and crispy! The bread was soft and the avocado & mayo were creamy and held everything together! I got the Green Tea Kombucha. I was nervous - but it was GOOD if you like Kombucha *but expensive*. The coffee smelled scrumptious, but I'll have to try that next time when I not eating their huge sandwiches. THUMBS UP! Rating based off my first time there and my sandwich. read more

The Poughkeepsie Grind - BLT with Avocado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Looking for a quick caffeine fix before venturing off over the Hudson? Look no further than the Grind! Inside is a cozy space with artwork lining the walls, a perfect place to push out a few hours of work. I ordered a mocha and white mocha and after a bit of a wait, my order was ready. Both the mocha and white mocha were surprisingly not too sweet. The mocha had a nice bitterness to it but once you hit the end, you ended up sipping on chocolate sludge. So be warned! The white mocha on the other hand was creamy and smooth all the way to the end. A perfect treat to beat the autumnal chill. Although it may be one of the only coffee shops in the area, the Poughkeepsie Grind is a wonderful choice for caffeination!! read more

I was really disappointed because I liked going to this cafe in the past! However, I'd ordered a more expensive vegetarian sandwich to-go, and they gave me a different sandwich I couldn't eat and couldn't refund me. Sad to have spent $9 on a different sandwich and not haven been able to get a refund! read more

Popped in here to do some work since I had a couple hours to kill. They open pretty early, which is a plus. 6 tables indoors with access to outlets. Staff is SOOOO kind. You can tell this is a local favorite and they have many regulars. Gives a very homey feel :) I ordered an egg sandwich. It's served on a kaiser roll. Not bad, probably wouldn't order again, personally. Kind of wish I ordered something else! Their waffles looked bomb. Prices are pretty fair. They have wifi. I'd come back again! read more

The Poughkeepsie Grind - Egg Sandwich, with tomato and mushrooms - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

I often go here. I almost always order coffee or decaf black, no sugar, and one of their muffins. A couple of times I've ordered their iced coffee with milk but no sugar. Their blueberry muffins are the best I've ever had--including the ones I bake myself from scratch (and I'm a pretty good baker). Their other flavors of muffins are also mostly the best I've ever had, too. Their iced coffee is definitely the best I've ever had. It's really addictive. But I'm not an expert on that since I've only had iced coffee a few times at a few places. When it comes to drip coffee, I have extremely high standards, and I'm pleased to say that The Poughkeepsie Grind does very good job of that, too--I would rate it 9.5 out of 10, extremely good, but just ever-so-slightly short of full-on drip coffee nirvana. I very much doubt most people would notice the difference though. This place is excellent, I'm glad it's here, and I highly recommend it. read more

A lovely city of Poughkeepsie staple that feels like a local's dream! Owned and ran by PK natives it's so endearing that they seem to know and greet every customer like family. Great drip coffee options as well as espresso drinks and tea. My coffee order is always correct which is much appreciated! I love their breakfast wraps and my husband alwaaaays rocks with the chicken and waffles! Generous portions and everything tastes fresh. There's a few tables inside + some bar style seating (perfect for people watching), as well as 2 small cafe tables outside. Ample steet parking on main st and on the cross streets too. ABsolutely support this local spot that does coffee and breakfast right! read more

I absolutely understand why other people love this place so much, I just wish I were one of them. Their coffee selection was small and so were the flavor options. No real tea or alternatives. Pastries were very mid as well. The breakfast wrap I ordered was quite bad. The spinach was barely cooked and tasted bad. And they did not clean the avocado before putting it in because I bit into the small nub/head (not sure what to call it). It was also very liquidy. Soupy might be a better word. My friends enjoyed their waffles and they were very good! Huge size and very fresh. Service was also on the slow side but that's to be expected in a small place like this. I think the grill only had one person behind it and I'm sure they were swamped. read more

My favorite breakfast place in Poughkeepsie. Whenever we visit our youngest who was attended V College near by. Cute little shop with good customer service, great foods and coffee to start the day. Also they serve the BEST chicken & waffles I ever had. It was very nice to have a little chat with staff as well. I'm not Poughkeepsie local but that adds warm feeling to visit the place. Never disappointed ;) Since he graduated there last week, it was our last visit there for now. I wish you open a branch store in Honolulu where I live! read more

Never been to this place before. Reviews were great so I decided to try it. Atmosphere was great. The two female workers were friendly and nice, and best of all their smiles!

I've only gotten take away here so can't comment on the in-house service but the food is great. Love the breakfast sammies and omelettes!

Too expensive for what it is. I would recommend this place only for their coffee. We got the crispy chicken wrap and a blt. The crispy chicken wrap had a lot of breading, the blt was okay. read more

Hands down... BEST chicken and waffles in the area! The chicken is perfectly seasoned, tender meat, and the batter is crisp. You can really taste the hot sauce on the chicken before it was perfectly battered. Its served with 3 boneless fried pieces of chicken and a fluffy Belgium waffle. It also comes with a side of syrup and hot sauce. The baristas also make delicious drinks and offer a decent selection. These guys and their chef do not disappoint by any means! Besides a variety of delicious foods (baked goods, breakfast sandwiches/items, and lunch items) and drinks, they make the atmosphere even better. Friendly people and great food... you can'f go wrong with this place. Its a small place with a few tables for sit down but they offer everything to go. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves chicken and waffles, fried string beans, and brunch! read more

The Poughkeepsie Grind - Chicken and Waffles (3 huge pieces of perfectly seasoned boneless fried chicken and fluffy Belgium waffle with powdered sugar) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

What a cool joint. Highly recommend. Had a Cafe Latte - as good as if not better than Starbucks. Then, had to go with the Chicken and Waffles. The chicken is absolutely amazing. Some of the best I have ever had. Waffle was perfectly cooked and not too dense. They serve with sides of syrup and hot sauce. I'd love to see them add a "South Carolina" option... honey mustard instead of hot sauce. There is a place in the Charleston SC area - Early Bird Diner - that serves it that way. But.... drizzled on the chicken... only way to go. Fantastic. If ever back in this area, I will be back for sure!! read more

Excellent breakfast, coffee, and customer service! Came in over the summer and forgot to leave them some love. I ordered a chicken wrap with a hash brown and potato chips and an iced Chai latte. A bit too much time has passed for me to flesh out the details but I remember chatting with the staff behind the counter for awhile and they made me feel like an old regular. That hash brown was sooooo good, so perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and soft inside. Nice portions at an affordable price. read more

Everything is packed for takeout - and there's a few small tables inside and out if that's your thing. read more

A little pricey but very charming. Perfect for a little breakfast date. The iced chai latte with the chicken and waffles is my go to order.

Lovely folks serving delicious, comforting food. You really can't ask for more. Stopped in for a quick bite, but we were so thoroughly pleased with our waffles and breakfast sandwiches and entertained by the staff's rapport with anyone and everyone who came through, that we ordered refills on drinks and decided to stay a while! read more

Coffee was good - good lord guys no one needs System of a Down coming at me at 7am - maybe hold the Screamo until after lunch ?

Great little place to eat. However. $10 for a wrap that's the size of an iPhone bothered me a bit. I will not take away from the flavor. The bacon was crispy, the egg wasn't over cooked. It was a good wrap. But again, I can't get passed the price tag for a wrap that didn't even include everything I wanted. Just a basic egg wrap is $5.49, that's a tortilla and an egg. read more
