Crema's Take

Café Joust is a community hub where the food genuinely rivals the coffee—expect excellent rice bowls and pastries alongside a solid oatmilk matcha and cappuccino that justify the detour. The owners are charming and genuinely invested in Hudson's scene, which shows in the thoughtful design, games for kids, and an atmosphere that feels equally welcoming whether you're settling in for an hour or grabbing breakfast. Fair warning: the quiet, contemplative vibe means conversation carries, so this is perfect for solo work or intimate catch-ups, not group chaos.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

My favorite local cafe in the Mid Hudson Valley. Came for the food (yummy bowls, healthy soups, pastries) and stayed for the people, music & art. Owners are charming, community minded ppl. Do not miss this gem of a place for remote working or enjoying with friends!

Great place for food and coffee / tea. I had a rice bowl and my wife had breakfast pita. Rice bowl was out of this world. Stormy earl gray tea was amazing. Folks here are super friendly and atmosphere here is cozy.
