The Poughkeepsie Grind

Amazing! The food is delicious, the coffee is hot and tasty, and the people are the nicest baristas I've ever met. The music is great, and I love coming to sit and write for hours at a time. I had a small mix up when they were really busy, and the owner himself came out to help get it cleared up!

Also! Their chicken & waffles are the best I've ever had ;)

Small cozy place. Friendly n courteous service. Please support your small businesses.

Love this Place. Feel good vibe from the minute you walk in the door. Coffee is consistently perfect and the breakfast sandwiches are way above what you might expect, this is gourmet quality food!!
It’s always busy here for good reason, but they get you served and on your way in no time.
Really good value too.
I’ll be back again and again for that delicious morning coffee

They were SO NICE here! I hung out for 90mins with an omelette and a large cup of delightful coffee and everyone was awesome. 5min from train, too. New stop in Poughkeepsie.

When the management of the place is cheap it is not for me

We bought 2 breakfasts, coffee and large tea.
I always have tea with milk and I was happy to discover that the place have Paris tea that I recently learned to appreciate, so I ordered large cup with milk.
The tea back size is might be good for small cup, but it will definitely be not enough to give only one tea bag for large tea, so I asked for one more tea bag and the seller wanted to charge me for that full price for an extra cup!!! Not extra dollar but for one extra tea. Seriously?!?!
I asked them to make a new tea for me in a small cup, because this is just a water that is not even colored well, and the guy took the cup and after 10 minutes said that he will make a new cup only if I will stand again in the line again. I already was in the line, the seller already took my cup of tea back, and now only because he was annoyed by me and wanted to teach me a lesson he wanted to force me to stand in the line.

**** So trying to charge me for an extra tea bag is cheap, but to teach lessons some annoying customer is really bad!

I took the money back.

GThanks but this place not for me.
And no I do not suggest this place to anyone else, there are plenty nice places out there with very good service , go there!!!

Very friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Super tasty bkfst sandwiches, omelette, and waffles! Will definitely be coming back.

Place never disappoints. Love the staff. Great place with excellent coffee and food.

My first time here! Wanted to catch an early train on the weekend and ventured out to find some coffee, having enough time before departure. This is a cozy coffee shop open early on Saturdays, about a 5 min walk from the metro-north station. Will be back to try more of their stuff. Lots of folks trickled in as I was leaving. Cheers!

Pretty standard egg sandwich, Good price, nice fresh bread, I asked for it to be cut in four and they said they would buy didn't, so that was SLIGHTLY annoying but I heard them giving the instructions, so I know it wasn't the front person...

But their chicken and waffles... I still dream about them. Absolutely will go back for those.

First time here, had the perfect egg and bacon on a croissant. They also serve a local tea brand I love! Very friendly staff, cute and cozy environment with lots of art. Can't wait to try more menu items, including the pastries 😊 will be back again to this little gem.
