Black Dot
3669 Main St, Kingston, NY
Crema's Take
“Black Dot's espresso program is genuinely exceptional for the Hudson Valley—their cappuccinos are crafted with real precision, and the lighter roasts highlight nuance rather than bitterness. Beyond the coffee, they've nailed the complete package with house-made pastries, a genuine community vibe, and enough outdoor seating and dog-friendly charm to make lingering irresistible. This is Brooklyn-quality specialty coffee without leaving Stone Ridge.”
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. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Really a lovely and modern place. The coffee is a lighter roast, not too strong, but well flavored. Our drinks were well made and delicious! The pastries are delicious and we also shared the egg sandwich. I find the sandwich difficult to eat with a runny egg and a flaky pastry,…
