The Poughkeepsie Grind

Great spot! There was a line out the door but I got in quickly to order and got my coffee immediately. Food took a few minutes but it was worth the wait!

I also got a coffee mug to remember my short weekend in town!

A cozy comfortable neighborhood cafe down the block from the train station and waterfront. This is a great introduction to the town of Poughkeepsie. Barista was warm and friendly and the menu is robust. The cold brew was euphoric and can easily rival any New York hipster cafe. The aftertaste was fresh and deep and I had to stop myself from drinking it down, while nursing it slowly. We didn’t order anything to eat but they have a nice selection of breakfast, lunch or baked goods. The cafe is small but quickly filled with locals who all seem to know each other and we’re very eager to share friendly convos. The chai was also fantastic. Would recommend taking your coffee and strolling the downtown park and river.

Have I actually never reviewed this?

Holy $H!+ !

This is the best breakfast/coffee/get you morning/get your life going spot. Great people, great legends manning the grill and making sure all of you breakfast dreams come true & MOST OF ALL: GREAT COFFEE.

I Brew Illuminated at my house when I can't quite make it to my breakfast place of worship and get the kick/jolt I need while also enjoying the great blend.

Go here. Do it. It's conveniently located, near other cool businesses, spots and parks.

Support the Queen City. The Grind is a backbone business to the city. Nuff Said.

(4/27/2023)Edit see most recent photo: a banging breakfast with fantastic dog are taboot! Best around. Truly. 🤙

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and wraps, usually perfectly crisp bacon, hash browns and potatoes are top notch. Biggest plus is my order is ALWAYS correct. Love this place.

Stopped by for some breakfast with my husband. He got an omelette and I got a waffle. His omelette was so good🤩 their coffee is really good too. Will come again!

Friendly, efficient service, nice ambiance, comfortable seating, delicious wraps and breakfast sandwiches, and good coffee.

The food is really good and it is always hot. Sometimes, there's a wait, but it's well worth it. Due to being busy. I call it SOHO up north. It's very trendy and artsy. Original paintings on the wall featuring local artisans. They sell t-shirts if you're into that as well. Nice little place.

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.

Absolutely delicious.
Perfectly cooked fries! I ordered a whole wheat 🌾 toast 🥪 with turkey bacon 🥓 spinach, hot peppers 🌶 & mustard and it was very tasty. Ate it before taking a pic 🤳
Also had their Harnold Ice tea, flawless mix of tea & lemonade with right amount of sweetness. My son & I had an excellent experience, friendly service, good ambience and impeccable environment!!

First time here and it's the best cafe in Poughkeepsie!!! I got the buffalo chicken wrap and it's the best buffalo chicken wrap I've ever had. The chicken wasn't dry and they were very flavorful. It was very filling and the fries are hand cut and good. My sister got the bacon waffle and she loved it. The waffles are a good size, savory and tasted homemade. We also got a latte that was really good and they had non dairy options. Good quality food and coffee. Their customer service is A1. The employee make you feel like regulars and give you a very personal experience. Definitely a very innovative and hip cafe. 100% recommend. They don't have much seating but that just makes it cozier. Definitely will be coming back here!!
