The Crafted Kup
44 Raymond Avenue, Poughkeepsie
With a flagship location next to Vassar College and a second at Eastdale Village, the Crafted Kup is a longtime favorite around here. We love their locally sourced and organic drip coffee, as well as their matcha and miel (honey) lattes. The menu offers delicious pastries, savory breakfast and lunch items, and more. At the spacious Raymond Avenue location, you can settle in with a book, laptop, or friends to enjoy the cozy and artistic atmosphere.

It’s the coffee and other specialty drinks, not to mention freshly baked treats (including vegan options), that really make this place special.
