    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Everything bagel (scooped) with egg and onions. Plus a flight!

    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.

    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.

    Good place! Definitely a meeting spot for the community and Vassar. Solid bagels (which are strangely hard to find in Poughkeepsie).

    Great coffee and usually some good music playing. Nice place to sit and read for while. Wish they were open a little later.

After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.
