The Poughkeepsie Grind and Cafe

🍰 Poughkeepsie Grind is such a neighborhood gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the smell of fresh pastries baked daily and truly excellent coffee that they roast themselves. Whether you’re ordering a simple cup of coffee, harney and sons tea (large selection!) or a specialty drink with their wide variety of syrups, the quality really shines — having a skilled barista makes all the difference. Beyond coffee, they also offer a lovely selection of gelato and an impressively large savory menu. The chicken and waffles are a favorite, but there are also egg sandwiches, BLTs, tenders, wraps, and plenty of customizable options, including vegetarian choices, and gluten-free bread is usually available. Whether you’re settling in to enjoy the sweetly decorated, inviting space or gr

First time going to this place. I ordered a ham egg and cheese salt and pepper. They charged me over 8$. There was no cheese on the sandwich and just a couple of pieces of diced ham. I was thinking about trying their other food but after this I’ll never step foot in there again. Pass by this place

We had waffles with fruit. The fruit was great. The waffles were dry and lacking of flavor. The service was good. The place is very small. The pictures are deceiving. The pictures gave the illusion of a bigger space. The pricing was reasonable. I would not go back. Location, we live too far and do not frequent the area. This is a great place for locals, but definitely not impressed enough overall to come back even of we were in the area.

I came into this place on my way out of Poughkeepsie and oh boy did this town save the best for last! This shop is worth all the hype and more. Cute coffee shop with a full kitchen that makes amazing food!!! The owner is so nice, she has everything thought of: condiments, free water, napkins, salt, pepper, todo! It’s amazing to me how a place this small can get those things right while we have these larger establishments with all of the money in the world who get it so wrong. Amazing amazing job here. We had the coffee, breakfast sandwich, and a bagel.

The Italians are moving back to Poughkeepsie! Lina, and her family, took over the Poughkeepsie grind on Main Street, one block from the train station, around two years ago. She is the sweetest and makes one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. I just found out last week, It’s because she roast her own beans on site! Absolutely fabulous
