The Poughkeepsie Grind and Cafe
107 Main St, Kingston, NY
Crema's Take
“The owner's personal touch is what elevates this place—Lina and her family took over and clearly care enough to remake orders that go wrong and bake pastries fresh daily. The coffee is genuinely good (they roast in-house), the breakfast is hearty, and the vibe is solidly neighborhood-focused, though the small space means it's more cozy than Instagram-worthy and the food execution can be uneven. Go for the pastries and pour-overs, show up early, and don't expect speed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Ordered from Uber and Uber only dropped of the pastries and not food. Called to see if they forgot it there and the owner said Uber took it with them. The owner said she will remake the order for me. Food and service and hospitality were amazing and that pastries were amazing.…
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.…

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…
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,…
