Designed Grind Cafe
1401 NY-300, Beacon, NY
Crema's Take
“Designed Grind Cafe's owner Diane and her team treat every order like it's for a regular, pulling excellent espresso shots and crafting creative signature drinks that actually taste intentional rather than gimmicky. The pastries—particularly the white chocolate blueberry scone—are legitimately excellent, making this a rare spot where both the coffee and food deserve equal attention. Fair warning: their posted hours aren't always accurate, so call ahead or you might find the doors locked despite what Google says.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Design Grind Cafe is one of the best I've been to. The service is excellent! Their coffee is not watered down. The girls that work there make your drinks like they've known you forever! Would definitely recommend this place.
stopped here today for the first time. ordered a double espresso with splash of milk. the espresso was excellent. met the owner Diane and she was so nice and personable. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.
Had a skinny latte and a white chocolate, blueberry scone, and it was to die for. The service is excellent. The treats are to die for, got to try the candy in a cup! Better than any coffee spot in the area. Definitely #1 one.
