To borrow a phrase from one of the merch shirts they had, Lola's is a joint you won't want to pass…read moreon. I visited Lola's Cafe with my sister while walking on the Walkway over the Hudson Trail, in fact, if you're on the trail and go down the staircase that points to downtown Poughkeepsie Lola's is right to your left when you get off the staircase. We ate the autumn, chicken salad, wrap, and the Baja chicken wrap. My sister is gluten-free and was delighted they had menus with their gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The staff member who took our orders was kind and generous in his service. Interestingly they also sell coffee beans, merch, and to-go foods from their kitchen. On my next visit, I look forward to trying the cheesecake and one of their bowls, paninis, or salads!

You order at the counter and take a seat at the counter or tables. Their menu offers reasonably priced sandwiches, salads, and grab and go baked goods, including separate menus for vegans. We enjoyed the special chicken tzaziki wrap, salmon salad (tender and tasty), the vegan quinoa bowl was ok but a bit small and not too exciting. They also were preparing catering offers and there was a pretty constant stream of customers. The space is rather small but we got there at a good time to find seating. They also have a tap water station. There's only gender neutral bathroom, which makes for a little wait at times. Street parking and a small lot a short walk away.

5 Stars! What a…read morefantastic find in Poughkeepsie! Hudson & Packard absolutely exceeded our expectations. We started with the Caesar salad, and I have to say, it was every bit as good as what you'd expect from a fine-dining, white-tablecloth restaurant. The dressing was incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. It's not often that a Caesar salad makes such a lasting impression, but this one certainly did. And then came the pizzas! Outstanding. Beautifully prepared, packed with flavor, and clearly made with an attention to quality that sets Hudson & Packard apart. The pepperoni was a particular standout, delivering that perfect combination of savory, rich flavor and irresistible pizza goodness. Every bite was a reminder of just how exceptional pizza can be when it's done right. The service was equally impressive. Attentive, genuinely friendly, and welcoming without being overbearing. The kind of hospitality that makes a great meal even better. Hudson & Packard is much more than just another pizza place. It's a restaurant that clearly takes pride in its food and its guests. An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back!

My order was receiving mixed reviews: the salad I got was very small and the bowl did not allow for mixing, so a messy endeavor at best. The staff is really friendly, so the service hits a five. Loss of stars is for the price and the inconsistent quality of the ingredients.

After indulging in way too many fried and heavy foods during my trip, I was really craving…read moresomething light and refreshing before heading back to the city. I'm so glad I found this spot--it was exactly what I needed to reset. Food: 4/5 I ordered an ahi tuna poke bowl and a smoothie, and overall, it hit the mark. The tuna wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still solid--fresh enough and well-balanced with the toppings. The smoothie, though, was delicious. I'd honestly come back just for that alone--it was cooling, clean, and packed with flavor. Atmosphere: 5/5 The interior design here is beautiful--very calm, airy, and just a peaceful place to sit for a bit. It felt like the kind of space where you could relax, journal, or just quietly enjoy a meal without the bustle of a typical café. Really appreciated that. Service & Price: This is more of a counter-service place--order at the front and grab a seat. No complaints there; everything came out pretty quickly and the staff was kind. As far as price goes: yes, it's on the higher end. A bowl + smoothie can easily run you over $30 which feels like a lot when compared to, say, a hearty Italian sandwich around the corner. But I get it--healthy food often just costs more. For me, it was worth it this time around. Overall: If you're in the area and looking to take a break from heavier meals, this is a lovely spot. It's not a cheap bite, but it's fresh, clean, and satisfying. I'll definitely be back for a smoothie if I'm nearby.

An Exceptional Dining Experience in Poughkeepsie!…read more Farmers and Chefs is one of those restaurants that reminds you just how memorable a great meal can be. From the first bite to the last sip, everything was absolutely outstanding. We started with the flatbread appetizer, which was a wonderful introduction to what would become an exceptional dining experience. Fresh ingredients, beautifully balanced flavors, and the kind of attention to detail that immediately tells you there's real talent in the kitchen. For our entrées, we enjoyed the rigatoni carbonara and mushroom ravioli. Both were phenomenal! The dishes were incredibly fresh, wonderfully flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Every bite seemed to reveal another layer of flavor. This is the kind of cooking that takes familiar dishes and elevates them into something truly special. But perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was the cocktail program. Absolutely spectacular! We tried the Old Fashioned, Pinky Promise, and Dark Matter, and every single one was a standout. The Pinky Promise was a delightful combination of raspberry, limoncello, and citrus, while the Dark Matter brought together tequila, berries, lime, and ginger beer in a wonderfully creative combination. Each cocktail was so delicious that our immediate reaction was wishing they came in a much larger glass! Seriously, these are cocktails worth visiting for all on their own. What makes Farmers and Chefs special is that nothing feels like an afterthought. From the quality of the ingredients to the creativity behind the food and drinks, there's a genuine appreciation for flavor and craftsmanship throughout the experience. Poughkeepsie has a real gem in Farmers and Chefs. This is a restaurant we'd happily go out of our way to visit again. An enthusiastic five stars and a place I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Also this place was mad busy after I came in, so I can see why they have reservations. It was packed by time I left. Also they have an outdoor pick up window if you don't want to come in.
