The Crafted Kup

The inside is industrial and cozy, all very aesthetic. The bagels are fresh and flavorful, the coffee is so tasty I could have it without sugar and cream, and the service is quick and friendly. I’ve gone multiple times and have never left disappointed.

Definitely visit the Crafted Kup when in Poughkeepsie. Here you can get the best coffee in town, and perhaps of Dutchess County!

The vibes and atmosphere in the coffeehouse are great, perfect to chill, get some work done, or meet friends. We simply love it here!

One of my favorite coffee places...great atmosphere very chill , quiet,comfy. Very clean
Great food whether u want a sandwich or. A fabulous baked product... try the scones u wont be disappointed. Comfortable to hang out and get work done or meet friends for coffee. They also an important open mic night. Love this place highly recommend.

Decadent coffee drinks. You can truly taste the quality in each cup. Also they have some tasty flavored lattes without it being overly sweet. Pastries are okay not really my favorite, but I'll come for the coffee any day.

Bohemian in its decor. Of varying value in its pricing. The misleadingly named vanilla bean lemonade is…lemonade for $4. A very poor value. The coconut cookie bar for $3 was of good quality and quiet filling. Otherwise, there’s not a lot of coffee competition for the Vassar College crowd.

Not the most spectacular latte but a fair effort. The flavor is weak generally and not really hot like a coffee drink should be. The staff was a little standoffish, not very warm and inviting like you might expect in a coffeehouse. I asked to explain some of the flavors they offered, and it seemed as though my question was an annoyance. I asked for them to suggest a flavor and they said I could have any of the flavors on their list. After asking again what they would recommend, and getting "you can get any of the flavors" I ordered a basic option but was dissatisfied with the experience. However, the environment was nice. I really like the feel of the place. It's rustic and trendy. Comfortable. A step up in customer service and a friendlier smile would go a long way, and a little more engagement with the customers, offering suggestions would bring this place up to a 5 star stop.

Update:
It was nice to see a response and request to talk more. I sent the email, two days after the response I received from them, and have yet to see anything further. No follow through. I've searched my email, junk mail, you name it. No reply. And my last two visits have been marginally better. The staff are much more concerned with talking to each other than interacting with customers. I had only one decent interaction there, but that was likely only because there was only one staff up front. Dropped to two stars, only because the kitchen guy is nice and the one experience I had was moderately acceptable. It will sadly be the last time I visit which is a bit of a disappointment because I am looking for a coffee place to hang out during the day when I'm working. Sad when a simple reply could have made things a five star.

Best local coffee shop and Cafe in the Poughkeepsie area. Hand crafted coffee, teas and other drinks. Small cafe menu and some fresh pastries and bagels. Stay and read a book or take it to go. It's all good here. Enjoy it! I do! Better than the big chains...

They have coffee flights!!! And a ton of seating.

Great lattes, fresh pastries, and delicious yogurt.

This is favorite of the area for a reason. I've never had a coffee drink here that wasn't delicious. I'd love to rate Crafted Kup 5 stars, but it can be pricey. It's in a great location near Vassar college, it's a great first date venue, but it can't be an every day expense for me. It'd break the bank.

Overall, I'd highly recommend checking it out.
