The Poughkeepsie Grind

The coffee is delicious and everyone who works here is so nice. I worked as a barista for years in my hometown (Albuquerque) and am living in PK for my job now. I’m so happy that I found this place and that the staff here always remembers me and makes me feel at home. I always look forward to coming here on my days off. Thank you!

This cafe is amazing! People are very friendly and the coffee is outstanding! Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area! Also worth a drive out! Small place that packs a big punch

Great coffee and excellent egg sandwich.
Nice owner too. Updated review: After many visits in the last six months everything on the menu is great. The waffles are awesome. The chicken and waffles are to die for. Omelettes are made any way you want them, all fillings are priced ala carte super cheap compared to any diner in the area. This place is small and cozy, were the owner seems to know everyone's name. He remembers little things like "did you want double cheese" if I forget to mention that I do. (Single cheese is fine - I love tons of cheese.)

The Red Velvet waffles are beyond awesome. Run and get them before they are gone.

The Grind continues to amaze me.

Always back for more!!! Happy 2019

Nice place and comfortable atmosphere. Bought the chicken and waffles with a large cup of coffee and it was so good! The staff was very friendly. Would recommend

Friendly little coffee shop. I stopped in for a bite while riding the Duchess Rail Trail. I was concerned about leaving my bike outside unlocked and the staff let me bring it inside. The Italian chicken wrap hit the spot, as did the coffee. Very friendly service and a nice relaxed vibe.

Best cup of coffee in Poughkeepsie (eat your heart out Starbucks!). Hot but not searing, strong without the bitter aftertaste. Perfect over medium egg sandwich. Clean, warm and inviting establishment. Greeted by a very friendly staff in the morning on my way to the train which is what I want as I start my long commute. They’re a flagship for the city’s continued revitalization.

Had a quick visit for coffee and breakfast. Coffee was very good, egg white omelette with turkey bacon was terrific. Service was great and very cordial. They were certainly on top of things for my visit.

Most spectacular waffles I've ever had in my entire life, anywhere in the world!! It boggles my mind trying to figure out why they're so much better than everyone else's waffles. (Unicorn dust, maybe?)

The food, coffee, service and environment of this place are all great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite and a coffee. My only problem is that it it very expensive. Other than that I had an excellent experience and enjoyed myself.

Service was pleasent. Cashier was very nice. Sausage Egg and Cheese was made perfect. Would highly recommend if your looking for a great breakfast or a spot to chill and get some work done.
