I mean I can't say anything bad about this place. Their matcha lattes are the BEST. The coconut flavor they add is delicious. Their pasties are okay too, but I like their hot food better. The atmosphere is nice to do wfh or just chill on a date or w friends . read more

One look at their beans and I could tell what I was in for. ROASTY! This is, in no way, a third wave shop. Boomers love the carbon brickettes they call coffee here. People in the know come here once and never again. I'm sure the food is good but the roaster needs to go back to roasting school. I guess I should have known better when a place has such a boomer-ass name. read more

This is a great coffee shop. They have freshly baked pastries, great coffee, and a fantastic lunch menu. This is the first time eating lunch there, and I was very impressed. We did the half sandwich and half salad, and we loved everything. The bread, and sandwich/salad ingredients are fresh, and everything is seasoned perfectly. This is a fantastic lunch spot. I would highly recommend it. read more

Krafted Kup is one of those neighborhood gems that instantly makes you feel at home. Right by Vassar, it's the perfect cozy spot to post up with your laptop for a study session, catch up on work, or just chat with a friend over a great cup of coffee. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming -- a mix of students, locals, and regulars who all seem to know it's the place to be. The coffee selection is fantastic with lots of variety -- from perfectly pulled espressos to fun seasonal specials. I also really appreciate that the food here goes beyond the basics; everything I've tried has been fresh and satisfying, making it a great option for breakfast or lunch. And shoutout to their loyalty program -- the stamp card is such a nice touch! It's one of those little things that makes you look forward to coming back again and again. Whether you're in need of caffeine, comfort, or a cozy place to get things done, Krafted Kup never disappoints. A true Poughkeepsie staple! read more

I had several amazing cold brew coffees during my stay at Vassar for our theatre company's Powerhouse Theatre residency. Service was friendly and ambiance was great. I tried a breakfast sandwich one day which hit the spot. Would definitely come here again and recommend it highly - some unique drinks on offer as well. read more

Crafted Kup is an amazing coffee shop. Their breakfast danish, croissants and scones are to die for. I've been to both locations and never disappointed. read more

2.8/5 I love a lot of their pastries here! It feels like I'm getting the quality of a nice bakery at a comfortable place. I recommend the cruffin the most if you're a fan of dulche de leche. It has lots of thin flaky layers and a pleasantly sticky center! Today I got the caramelized croissant, which was a bit too doughy and lacked any buttery flakiness. It tasted more like a sugary donut... My main issue here is the mediocre quality of the coffee and at times their customer service, which prevents me from coming here often. Many times when I've been here, the baristas have a cold and univiting attitude which usually wouldn't bother me if I wasn't paying as much as I do. Their iced lattes taste a bit watered down, which my peers often agree with. Their hot drinks are okay! However, their espresso in general lacks much flavor and is quite pricey. I do not recommend their matcha if you like the taste of real matcha either. I would recommend their chai but there's always some leftover coacoa powder in it everytime I order it...not sure why? Overall, unless I'm getting their tasty pastries I'm often left disappointed. read more

Very adorable and friendly atmosphere. Pretty decent drip and fairly priced. I was impressed by the service and courtesy.

Great customer service. I appreciate that they remember my name. Maybe I go too much when i'm in town but I notice they know some people by name and that's cool with the amount of people who come in and out throughout the day. The location is super convenient to Vassar College, the new hotel, other restaurants, shops, and laundromat. I was introduced to the space by a familiar member. It's always been a convenient place and the consistency after all this time is much appreciated. From recommendations that I actually like whether a added flavor to my drink or trying something new. It's accessible, has bathrooms, and good space to take your laptop to work, study have a meeting, w/e. You see a lil of everything in there. The cinnamon roles are amazing! Great place to visit individually or a group and know there will be something for everyone to enjoy. When it's nice out the outdoor seating in the front or the side in the open space is also really nice. Thanks for creating a space that's welcoming! read more

Nice set up with lots of indoor seating and a few tables outside. Easy ordering with a very detailed listing of coffee choices and different preparations. They have flavored syrup and different milks and substitutes. There is a case with pastries both sweet and savory. They were able to make my iced coffee decaf and it was not watered down. Average pricing for a 16 oz iced coffee. read more

Wonderful staff and service! Coffee and muffins are excellent. I would definitely recommend it.

When a coffee place puts the word craft right in their name, I expect a craft coffee level experience. That and the good overall Yelp score drew me into the Crafted Kup while I was recently visiting the Hudson Valley area. The coffee, however, was not better than average. It had more of a Starbucks flavor profile than the Single Origins I prefer. It had a slight ashy flavor. It didn't fit my definition of craft coffee and I wouldn't return for the coffee. I ordered an Everything Bagel with plain cream cheese for my son. He volunteered that "it was not the best." I took a bite. And he was right. It was kind of heavy and lacked a pleasing texture, and the everything seasoning did not adequately coat the top. The cream cheese wasn't my favorite either. I also ordered a loaded oatmeal for my wife. Although I didn't try it and can't factor it into my review, she said she liked it. The case of pastries et al also looked pretty good. Crafted Kup has both inside and outside seating. Service was fine. One note on the store layout, the location of the place where you get lids, cream, sugar and other things that you would add to your coffee creates an awkward experience. After you order, you have to cross back through the line to get to the lid, et al area. Then you have to cross through the line again to exit out one of the doors and/or to get your food when it is ready. I saw this play out three different times. It would make more sense to have the lids, et al near the door so there is more of a flow. Given the overall Yelp rating, I'm sure Crafted Kup is good at some other things, but my experience was 3 Stars. read more

This place was just so good. We were visiting Vassar and stopped in for a quick breakfast. I got a vegan, gluten free breakfast bar (I am usually neither vegan nor gluten free) and a cappuccino. My daughter got a blueberry muffin and my husband got oatmeal and cappuccino. We loved it all. This place was incredibly busy but the service was very organized and efficient. If you need a quick bite on your way to/from Vassar, definitely stop here and definitely get a coffee! I hope to be able to come back! read more

Bustling and friendly coffee shop! Very much enjoyed my coffee, and the atmosphere was really nice.

Was visiting Vassar College in upstate NY and stumbled upon this perfectly fitting, cute and quirky cafe not too far from campus. This spot looks like the perfect place to study, grab a quick bite, and catch up with friends --- basically everything a college student could want. For a local college town cafe, this place is pretty good !! Everyone was super friendly and there is plenty of seating with spacious tables to get work done. They also have free wifi which is a huge plus. I tried a few things here including the egg sandwich on a croissant, the chocolate croissant, and their famous dulce de leche croissant/ muffin hybrid. The Croissant/ muffin creation was definitely my favorite! The pastry is shaped like a muffin but has the flaky, fluffy texture of a croissant and is stuffed with a generous amount of creamy ducle de leche caramel. So so yummy! I also enjoyed my egg sandwich but I wish the cheese was melted more. The croissant was also good but just a standard bakery croissant. Overall great experience here! read more

Adjacent to Vassar College campus. Atmosphere is pleasant and straightforward - hardwood floors, dark tables, pleasant staff. Unmemorable decor, but ample seating for 2 to 8 for a quick bite or a hot beverage. The menu is limited, but most people will probably find it sufficient for a casual get together. My friend ordered a caramel apple scone and latte. My food restrictions were somewhat problematic. Despite asking for the avocado toast with no allium, ( onion, garlic, scallion, etc.. ) and being assured that it would not be a problem.($11.50), my meal was served with a vinaigrette dressing that contained one or both. Not wanting to risk cross-contamination, I sent it back without touching it. Counter staff told me that the locks on sour bread, toast with cream cheese, cucumber and tomato had capers, which did not contain onion or garlic. ($11.50 also) so since I had already paid the bill and tip, I selected that one. Was it worth $11.50? Not really but the toast was very pleasant, the bread, crusty and ample amount of both cream cheese and lox. The lack of attention to detail and potential for reaction to allergens loses them two stars. Would I return again for a casual cup of tea or coffee? Yes. Parking on street is usually ample and no meter necessary. read more

Their drip coffee is so weak. It's so watered down, and has no flavor. Really disappointing.

Amazing ambiance I am always able to get a lot of work done when I'm here, but the coffee is nothing special and not super cheap. I will say the bakery items are pretty good though. read more

I told you I'd be back and here I am. Back again and very soon, I might add. This has become one of our "spots" and I'm not even mad about it. It's for good reason. This time around I had an iced mocha and the coffee is really smooth. I'm picky when it comes to coffee. It's hard to make me happy because I don't like anything too bitter or burnt. BUT this coffee was perfect and tasted freshly brewed. I have to admit that one of my favorite parts is being able to grab a gluten free treat with my beverage. I wish this was more common at other coffee shops because us gluten free customers like to enjoy something sweet with our coffees too! The treat was soft, sweet and tasty. Great way to start off my day. read more

No question they make a great latte but this isn't the place to go if you're in a rush or looking to relax and hang out. It's busy, it's noisy, lines are long and service is slow. Our cashier was abrupt, bordering on rude but the barista was great. Overall, I've had better experiences elsewhere. read more

Nothing bad to say about this place, the service, the drinks or food. I got the flight with the mocha, miel and macchiato. All were super delicious and presented so beautifully. Macchiato was very strong, even as decaf. My scooped out everything bagel with an egg and onions was quite yummy. Topping off our experience we were able to play Othello during the meal. Such a great overall experience. read more

Always excellent coffee and bagels. I used to come here everyday when I worked in the next building over on Raymond Ave.

Cafe latte and chai latte - best we've had for a bit. Even though you don't think how could they be bad or judged the best? Lovely cafe with warm welcoming vibes. And service was efficient and courteous. read more

Great pastries (morning bun and two different scones), decent coffee. Rather crowded with students studying. Otherwise the atmosphere was unremarkable. This was a Sunday afternoon (~3pm) - so that may have been a factor. read more

Super friendly workers as soon as you walk in, pastries are amazing here! The bagel on the other hand isn't my favorite didn't really have that crunch or toasted taste I wouldn't wanted just tasted doughy, hence the 4 stars otherwise . Everyone was very nice and my iced matcha latte was a chefs kiss If I come back to Poughkeepsie I will definitely hit this place up great quick stop coffee shop! read more

(4) ~ very good food & service MENU: ** Sun Bun = (4.25) Very unique & Delicious baked good. Note: It's a tasty Apricot in the center;) ** Yrgacheffe (Drip) Coffee = (4) very good, but would love if they also offered it as a fresh ground / pour over version;) read more

This is a fantastic spot for a lunch and a morning coffee. Their pastries are always fresh and they serve good coffee. The employees are very kind and the place has a very lively spirit. The best thing about this spot is the price to quality ratio. It's incredible food for a very reasonable price. Also Vassar students get discounts here. read more

I think what gives this place this rating is the food but also the ambience. It's a great atmosphere I find for studying and working remotely. Some restaurants have great food but an okay setup and vice versa. But not every resturant can have good food and a real homey vibe. I can't speak for the whole menu just yet but sausage egg and cheese sandwich + chai latte combo is a must. read more

Coffee and Oatmeal breakfast was very tasty! The cashier was nice for a first time here at this location as they have one in Poughkeepsie Galleria and one not to far away in Eastdale. Had to take off one star for a do it yourself kind of service, where they leave room to pour your own creamer, Sugar in and add your own cover with a hot wrapper after I asked the cashier to put hazelnut creamer in for me as I thought it came with the service. I put an order for brown sugar and butter with my oatmeal and found out I had to put the pre packs in myself and wasn't told that everything was separate until after the order came out. The orders were a bit small for the price also. Would go back to hang out for coffee but as for food I'ld go back across the street to bagel world read more

This is a cute place near Vassar College to pop by for a light meal, handcrafted beverage, and chill place to work; I enjoyed my lavender lemonade and appreciated the cafe's eco-friendly approach. There's original artwork on the walls, plenty of tables both up front and tucked away in the quieter back room, and a clean bathroom available. While the offerings aren't especially unique, there are plenty of options for people looking for vegan or gluten-free food, and the beverages are of high quality. read more

1st time here i ordered a "cold brew" coffee i hope it was at least that It was the worst cup of coffee i ever had i barely finished 1/2 of it, even after a ton of cream n sugar i couldn't mask the taste NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG my cheese danish, the best i have ever had they didn't ask me if i wanted my receipt I may try this establishment again just to make sure Possibly to be continued read more

They have good drinks, delicious baked goods (Bella's Home-baked Goods), friendly service, and a nice aesthetic. Simple as that. More specifically: the coffee and hot chocolate were both excellent, the blackout brownie was satisfying, and the biscottis had great flavor. read more
